His hands were large and good looking with slender fingers and well defined knuckles.
Maybe because he’d just exerted some effort, the veins on the back of his hand were visible, looking a
bit menacing
Comella pulled her hand away and sat back down. President Hartley, got something you wanna chat
about?”
After she sat down, Marcus let out a sigh of relief. “We don’t necessarily have to chat about anything,
just sit with me for a bit if you find talking to the boring, you can just play with your phone.
All he wanted was for her to be by his side. Just seeing her was enough, he didn’t dare to hope for
anything more.
Since he put it that way, Cornelia didn’t mind

Sure enough, Marcus’s phone on the side buzzed once.
Cornelia then sent a second message, “We are…
Marcus’s phone buzzed again.
Then Cornelia sent a third message,
She hoped that Marcus’s private phone would stop buzzing, but after her message was sent, Marcus’s
phone buzzed again.
Her last hope was shattered by these three buzzes.
Marcus casually picked up his phone and slowly replied, “Why are you still up so late? What’s up?”
Cornelia looked at him, watching him pretend to be nonchalant. She wanted to see how long he would
lie to her and how good his acting skills were.
Cornelia replied, “My boss is sick and in the hospital, so I came to visit him. I was about to leave but he

you personally escort me to his bed?”
Marcus was taken aback, “Why would you think that?”
Cornelia didn’t want to talk anymore, nor did she want to stay with him any longer.
She stood up again, “President Hartley, I’m leaving!”
Almost instinctively, Marcus grabbed her again, “Cornelia…

The nausea made her want to vomit, but she couldn’t puke anything out. For a moment, she felt pain all
over her body, making her tremble and break out in a cold sweat….
“Dr. Dawson!” Marcus yelled, stretching out his arm to hold Cornelia tightly and quickly returned to the
room, “Cornelia, where do you feel uncomfortable? Tell me right away!”
His deep voice overlapped with the voice from that morning, as did his face. Wave after wave of
nausea hit Cornelia, she struggled hard, “Let go of me! Don’t touch me!”
Marcus didn’t let go of her, instead, he pushed her onto the bed where he had once laid, he said in a
low voice, “Lie down and don’t move, I’ll have a doctor check you out
