Chapter 1065

“President Hartley.” Ben said, “If you have something to say to me, just spit it out.”

It felt like ages before Marcus slowly said, ‘From now on, important company documents can’t be seen by Cornelia”

“What? President Hartley, what are you talking about?” Ben felt like he misheard, awkwardly rubbing his ear,

“President Hartley, I must have heard wrong. Cornelia is not only your secretary but also your wife. Don’t you trust

her?”

A flood of thoughts rushed through Ben’s mind. Marcus had always trusted Comelia, even when she first started

working for him, he never kept important documents from her. Today, he specifically asked Cornelia to leave and

told him not to let her see confidential company files. This was a clear sign of distrust towards Comelia.

Or maybe it was not distrust, but because Cornelia was now President Hartley’s wife, and half of his earnings should

belong to Cornelia.

The relationship between husband and wife was like a roller coaster. One day he was on good terms, the next day

he was at each other’s throats Maybe Marcus was playing it safe, if things went south with Cornelia, she couldn’t

take his assets.

Having thought about it. Ben felt this was the most plausible explanation. But then, Marcus said, “I’ve never

distrusted her.”

Taken aback by Marcus‘ words, Ben asked, “Then why can’t she handle the company’s confidential files in the

future?”

Marcus gave Ben a look, then turned around and left. That look filled Ben with doubt, but he dared not ask any

more questions.

Today’s meeting was mainly about The Hartley Group investing in a project in a remote area in the West Region.

The project site was not only remote but also lacked any worth–while natural scenery. However, many impoverished

families still lived there and many of whom had never left their mountainous homes to see the outside world.

Simply because the roads to the outside world were not accessible. If they wanted to go to town, they had to walk a

long path.

Many profit–driven businesses wouldn’t dream of developing there, because if they did, they would have to build

accessible roads to the outside world. The complex terrain made road construction very difficult and costly. To

connect to the outside world, a lot of capital would be required.

All in all, if this project was invested in, it would be years, if not decades, before it could start making money. This

project was essentially a charity.

Although it was a non–profit charitable project, all the meeting participants were very enthusiastic, providing their

best suggestions for the project

After the meeting, Cornelia was particularly happy. People who could easily sign projects worth tens of millions of

dollars were also so passionate about charity work. It showed that they really wanted to contribute to poverty

alleviation.

Ben and Cornelia followed Marcus back to his office. After handing over the report for the day, Ben said, “You two

probably have some private matters to discuss.

I’ll leave first”

Marcus retorted, “Did I tell you to leave?”

Ben asked, “Président Hartley, is there anything else you need to discuss with me?“.

Marcus replied, “Today’s report from Cornelia, you will finish it.”

If it weren’t for what happened earlier, Ben would surely think Marcus was retaliating against him. Now, he didn’t

know what to think.

Cornelia intervened, “No need. I can handle my own business.”

Marcus reminded her, “We’re at work.”

So what he was saying was that she needed to separate her personal and professional life. He was the boss, his

word was law, and Cornelia had to comply.

Marcus told Ben, “You can leave now”

Ben left immediately, regardless of his curiosity about what had happened, he dared not stick around to eavesdrop.

Comelia said, “I gotta bounce.”

Marcus replied, “Hold up.”
