Chapter 5

Her CEO didn’t seem like the type to buy cheap stuff, and Cornelia wouldn’t be buying anything too expensive either. Considering their needs, Cornelia decided to prioritize her boss’s preferences and took him to a luxury store.

Cornelia watched Marcus walking ahead of her. He kept walking without showing any interest in going into a store. They might end up not buying anything if they just wandered around aimlessly.

Cornelia sped up to catch up with him. “President Hartley, wanna check out some stores?

Marcus nodded and headed to the nearest store, only to be stopped by the staff at the entrance. “Sir, please line up over there.”

Usually, big luxury brands would actively cater to someone like Marcus. He probably wouldn’t even bother looking and would have no idea that they needed to queue up to buy a purse.

Cornelia quickly took out the company’s VVIP card. As soon as the staff saw it, their attitude changed instantly, and they ushered them into the VIP room.

The staff serving VVIPs were as polite as if they were welcoming royalty, even bringing out bags that regular customers had to wait months to buy. “Sir, madam, please feel free to choose.”

Hearing this address, Cornelia felt embarrassed. “He’s my boss.”

Marcus also frowned. Although he hadn’t been able to see his wife since returning to his country, he didn’t want others to misunderstand. It was rare for him to clarify, “She’s helping me choose a gift for my wife.”

“Sorry!” The staff dealt with all sorts of people daily and shouldn’t have made such a basic mistake.

But when they sat together, they looked like they belonged together, and their vibes matched so well that people subconsciously assumed they were a couple.

Not knowing what kind of handbags girls like, Marcus decided to buy them all. There must be one his wife would like. “Wrap up these bags.”

Four bags, totaling over a hundred thousand dollars.

Next, Cornelia accompanied him to a high–end jewelry store. The staff immediately took them to the counter. “Sir, this necklace is our special release this year. Your wife will look stunning wearing it.”

Marcus said, “Alright, wrap it up.”

The staff loved decisive customers like him. She smiled at Cornelia, “Madam, would you like to try it on?”
