Natalia snapped back to reality and tried her best to mimic Cornelia’s way of speaking. ‘I heard you’re
drunk. I’m here to take you home”
“Alright, let’s go home Marcus tried to reach for her hand, but it froze just before he could touch her

reject any physical contact with Marcus.
“Let’s go He tried to stand but his legs gave way and he sank back onto the couch.

As she got closer, Marcus caught a whiff of her strong perfume. He scrunched up his nose and
smoothly avoided her touch, “I might be a bit drunk, but I’m fine. I can walk on my own”
Rebuffed, Natalia didn’t know what to do. She looked at Zavier pleadingly.
Zavier chimed in, “Cornelia, He is so drunk. He probably can’t walk out of here. There’s a villa next
door, why don’t you help him rest there for a bit?”
Natalia asked, “President Hartley, would you like to rest?”
“Alright Marcus managed to pull himself up, refusing Natalia’s help.
Zaver asked, “Marc, do you need my help?”
Marcus replied, “No need”
Zavier handed the room key to Natalia, “Cornelia, please take good care of him. If you need anything,
just give me a call. I’ll be on standby.”
Natalia took the key and hurriedly caught up with Marcus.
“Marc, all the best! Zavier watched their retreating figures, a determined glint in his eyes.

His assistant approached him, “Mr. Rivera, it’s dawn. Would you like to get some rest?”
Zavier lit up a cigarette with a smile and walked into a posh room, “The stage is set, the show’s about
to start. How can I miss it?”
It took a while to reach the room because Marcus was unsteady on his feet. Natalia opened the door
with the room key and stepped aside for Marcus to enter first.
The room was spacious with minimal decoration, making the bed look even larger. Marcus walked
straight to the bed and collapsed onto it, motionless.
“President Hartley…” Natalia softly called out. When he didn’t respond, she gently sat down next to
him.
