Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 759:

Connor watched as Marc and Terry completely overlooked him, rushing instead to open the door for Marissa. She slid into the car with their assistance, and it wasn’t until she was settled that they seemed to remember their boss was still standing outside.

Frustration boiled within Connor. He had rewarded these two with high salaries and 0.1% shares of the Daniels Group, yet here they were, acting as if he didn’t exist. It was clear that since they had discovered Marissa was their chief instructor, their loyalty had shifted. Whenever she was around, Connor might as well have been invisible.

The thought that his generous compensation was being squandered on them only deepened his irritation. His expression darkened as the realization sank in.

Marc and Terry finally noticed him, but the damage was done. They could read his mood all too well—this wasn’t the first time Connor had pulled a long face in front of them. They knew exactly what was wrong; their boss was jealous. Extremely jealous. And for good reason. Connor had treated them more than fairly, giving them not just a million-dollar annual salary but a stake in the company as well. They should have been focused solely on him.

But Marissa was different. To them, she was like a beacon, impossible to ignore. Whenever she was near, they couldn’t help but gravitate towards her, forgetting everything else, including their loyalty to Connor. Yet, how could they explain this to him? Any attempt to justify their actions would only make them seem more ungrateful. It was a no-win situation. So, when they saw the storm brewing on Connor’s face, they exchanged awkward smiles and quickly moved to open the door for him.
