Chapter 679 

Comelia followed Marcus’s gaze into the distance

Since the Hartley Group building was the symbol of Riverton and the tallest structure in the city, it offered a panoramic view of the entire Riverton 

It was a fascinating sight 

However, after the brief moment of enchantment, a sense of emptiness crept in. Standing at the peak, without friends, without rivals, it felt hollow 

Cornelia guessed that Marcus might be feeling the same emptiness and loneliness inside 

She gently lifted her head and looked at him, President Hartley, what’s on your mind? Care to share?” 

Marcus was staring at her lips. There was a clear cut on her lower lip, a result of his unintentional bite

Why are you looking at me like that while we’re talking? Is there something on my face? This man, he shouldn’t be looking at her so intently all the time

If this kept up, she really wouldn’t be able to focus on her work 

Unexpectedly, Marcus was not just looking at her, he was also taking action. He quickly reached out, grabbed her head, gently pushed her head forward. He then lowered his own, and kissed her lips again

This was his third time kissing her

The first time was last night. Her reaction was so fast that before Cornelia could even register the feeling of his kiss, he had already let go of her 

The second time was just a while ago in the elevator, where he kissed her fiercely like a wild beast, only leaving her with pain 

But this time, it was completely different from the previous ones. He was domineering yet gentle, utterly irresistible

Cornelia tried to dodge, but soon felt a cold sensation on her lips, along with a faint herbal scent. She immediately realized that he was applying medicine to her lip in his 

own way

After ensuring he hadn’t missed a spot on her lip, Marcus let her go, There, done

Cornelia blushed and handed him the milk, Here’s the milk. You should drink it first.” 

Marcus had already had his morning cup, and didn’t really want more. But since it was prepared by Cornelia, he accepted it anyway

After finishing the milk, Cornelia took the cup from him, It’s half past nine, and Moongazer Tech’s representatives will be here in half an hour. Do you need to rest for a while in the lounge?” 

His health was not in the best condition, and the elevator incident might have taken a toll on him. The upcoming meeting might go on for hours, and Cornelia was worned he might not be able to hold up

Marcus chuckled and patted her head, Alright.” 

After looking after Marcus, Cornelia returned to her office

She shared this office with Ben 

Ben was sitting at his desk, zoned out as if something had shocked him. He didn’t even greet Cornelia when she came in. 

She said to him, Ben, the meeting with Moongazer Tech is about to start. What are you daydreaming about?” 

Ben moved slightly, as if snapping back to reality. He looked at Comelia with dissatisfaction and contempt, ‘Ms. Stewart, I always thought you were a girl with selfrespect and selflove, but I didn’t imagine.”
