Marcus stormed into the meeting room out of the blue, his fury effectively silencing everyone present.
Everyone couldn't figure out how President Hartley, who had been all smiles in the morning, could become so enraged, like a monster, in such a short period of time.
But they all promptly stood up, "President Hartley..."
Marcus shot everyone a cold look before taking his seat at the head of the table. "Carry on!"
As he sat there, doing absolutely nothing, everyone in the room began to stutter with nerves. Ben was closest to Marcus, thus the most likely to suffer from his wrath.He had to figure out why Marcus was angry to dodge any potential fallout. So, when no one was looking, Ben sneakily sent a message to Cornelia, "Cornelia, SOS!"
It took Cornelia a while to reply, "What's up?"
Ben, "Do you know why President Hartley is angry?"
Cornelia, "I've been on a break recently, not with President Hartley. How would I know why he's angry?"
Ben, "We're all colleagues here, just tell me straight."
In his mind, he thought, "I know you're his wife, what's with the act?"
After he sent it, Cornelia didn't return the message. So, he guessed that President Hartley's happiness, as well as his anger, had something to do with Cornelia.
