Sallie said, “I’m done trusting people. You need me to do something, just give me a holler. I’ll bend over backwards to help you.” Cornelia responded, “Sounds great, I’ll take you out for a meal when I get back to Riverton, gotta hang up now.” Granny Rebecca’s stuff had been packed up, no need for Cornelia to stick around in Rosenberg. So, she and a few others hopped on a red-eye back to Riv they got home, it was past midnight. But Marcus was still as chipper as ever, and they kept busy for almost two hours. Cornelia wasn’t sure if it was because she was beat, but Marcus was unusually passionate in bed that night. So passionate, it was like he wanted to melt In her half-asleep state, she could faintly hear Marcus calling her name in his husky voice, “Cornelia, Cornelia.”
His voice was like a lullaby, and she drifted off to sleep peacefully. When Cornelia woke up again, it was already noon and her man was probably up and about. Business had been buzzing lately, and Marcus had a lot on his her, he had to hold video conferences since he couldn’t make it to the office. She had originally planned to go to work with Marcus the day after their late-night flight back to Riverton, but with what happened last night and all the bus in till noon.

But how’d you know I’m awake?” Marcus answered, “I just guessed based on your sleeping pattern. Now get up and eat.” Cornelia whined, “You were too passionate last night, I can barely feel my legs.” Her voice was seductive, playful even. But instead of Marcus’ voice, she heard Ben cough awkwardly, “President Hartley, your phone is on speaker.” Marcus was in a meeting, calling her, with his phone on speaker. That meant, their entire conversation was heard by everyone in the meeting room. Cornelia hung up immediately and burrowed back into her covers. She was livid! How was she supposed to show her face at work now! She furiously texted Marcus: [Marcus, did you do that on purpose to embarrass me? Now everyone knows what we did last night.] Marcus replied swiftly: [Darling, my phone’s still connected to the projector.] Cornelia was speechless.
