Chapter 678

Did he think he was easy to pull a fast one on him just because he was old?

Their mouths were all tom, looking like they had been bitten. Yet he had the gall to say he didn’t do anything

“You young folk, always up to no good Here’s some ointment, apply it to Cornelia later You’re a big guy, and a little wound is nothing But Cornelia is a girl, and girls care about their looks He took a tube of ointment out of the first aid kit and handed it to Marcus, “Next time you’re sneaking a kiss, remember to wipe your mouth clean.”

Marcus took the ointment. You can leave now”

“Alright off I go Before leaving, Dr. Lester glanced at Cornelia, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t, “I take my leave

Cornelia said, “I’ll walk you out”

Exiting the president’s office, Cornelia took Dr. Lester to a vacant small conference room, “Dr Lester, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”

Dr Lester said, “Go ahead”

Cornelia said, “We had an elevator malfunction today. When we were trapped, I thought President Hartley’s reaction was a bit off, do you know”

Before Cornelia could finish, Dr. Lester hurriedly interrupted her, “What? What did you say? You guys were stuck in the elevator? How long was Marc trapped?”

Comelia said, ‘About fifteen minutes.”

Dr Lester appeared extremely anxious, pushing Comelia out, “You can’t leave Marc alone in his office at a time like this, go keep him company”

Cornelia said, “Dr. Lester, President Hartley is fine now.”

“Marc, he’s claustrophobic, he might not be as calm inside as he appears. You have to stay with him today, and don’t leave him alone. I fear the past might repeat itself.” After saying these words. Dr. Lester realized he had let the cat out of the bag.

“What past incident?” This must have something to do with the claustrophobia Cornelia wanted to know, only by understanding the situation could she help Marcus “It’s nothing” Dr. Lester should know the most about this matter, other than the people involved, but he couldn’t say “Cornelia, Marc’s health is really bad, and he needs proper care I hope you can take good care of him.”

Cornelia said, “I will.”

After calming down, Dr Lester asked, “When you were trapped in the elevator, did you do anything to help Marc?”

Cornelia blushed, “I just told him not to be afraid, and then he seemed to feel a lot better.”

Dr. Lester suddenly bowed to Cornelia, “Cornelia, thank you! Really, thank you!”

Marcus was someone Dr. Lester watched grow up, and he was a witness to what Marcus had been through. Seeing someone determined to stand by Marcus‘ side, he was happy for Marcus

“Dr. Lester, there’s no need for thi. Taking care of him is what I should do.” This time, Cornelia didn’t say that taking care of Marcus was her job, but what she should do.

Dr. Lester nodded, “Then I’ll leave now”

After Dr. Lester left, Cornelia poured a cup of milk, and then returned to Marcus’s office, “Marcus, drink this milk first, then we can go to the conference room.”

Marcus stood quietly in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, staring into the distance, motionless, as if he hadn’t heard Cornelia’s words

Cornelia raised her voice a little, “Marcus.”

“Come here.” He stood in front of the window, calling her over with a gentle voice.

Cornelia obediently walked over to him
