Chapter 227
Zack and Abigail were arguing up a storm, while Cornelia and Marcus were as quiet as mice.
With her boss in the car, Cornelia was driving with her full attention, not daring to slack off.
Marcus, in the passenger seat, tried to strike up a conversation a few times but couldn’t find the right
topic.
He knew that if he wanted Cornelia to answer, it had to be work–related, or she might dodge him with
the excuse of not wanting to talk about her personal life.
Sometimes he felt that even though he was her boss, he still needed her, his assistant, to arrange his
daily affairs.
Thinking about this, he shook his head helplessly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWell, it couldn’t be helped. After all, Cornelia was his wife.
Comelia noticed his small movement and asked, “Marcus, what’s up?”
Marcus chuckled. “I just thought of something funny.”
Comelia, “Oh really?”
Marcus, ‘Don’t you want to know what it is?”
Cornelia, “Can I ask?”
Marcus: “You can ask anything in front of me. Treat me as a friend; no need to stand on ceremony.”
Cornelia gave a small laugh but didn’t ask further.
Treat him as a friend?
She thought about it and decided it was best not to entertain such thoughts.
Marcus had been nice to her recently, but she couldn’t forget her role as his assistant.
The most comfortable relationship between them was that of boss and assistant.
She just needed to work for him without mixing in any personal feelings.
Otherwise, if he didn’t pay her one day, she would feel embarrassed to ask.
Of course, Marcus had no idea what Cornelia was thinking. He quietly waited for her to ask, but when
she didn’t, he had to find a topic himself. “By the way, Skyler Blue has safely reached her desired
location. Zavier Rivera won’t bother her for now.”
Upon hearing Skyler Blue’s name, Cornelia’s attitude changed. “Marcus, thank you for helping Skyler
Blue. She doesn’t have a phone and doesn’t dare use her bank card. Could I trouble you to have
someone deliver my bank card to her?”
Marcus smiled, wanting to ruffle her hair but holding back. “Silly, Skyler Blue isn’t as naive as you. She
was well prepared to run away. carrying enough cash to last a while. She also got a new phone and a

“She’s so well prepared, that puts my mind at ease.” Cornelia took a deep breath. “Sigh, Skyler Blue
started planning to run away right. after getting married; do you know what Zavier did to her?”
Marcus believed that Zavier loved Skyler Blue but just had the wrong approach: “We, as outsiders,
don’t have a say in someone else’s personal affairs.”
“Right.” Cornelia nodded, then after a while, she said seriously, “Marcus, could you do me a small
favor?”
“What’s up?” He was always looking forward to her making requests, and finally, it came.
Cornelia turned to look at him very seriously and asked, “Could you please stop calling me silly all the
time? You should know that if someone keeps being called silly, they might end up becoming silly. If
you don’t want your assistant to become a dimwit, then compliment mé more. That way, I’ll become
smarter.”
Marcus couldn’t help but laugh at her words.
