Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1066

Cornelia said, "I gotta bounce."

Marcus replied, "Hold up."

Cornelia asked, "President Hartley, anything else you wanna spill?"

It had been a while since Cornelia formally addressed him as President Hartley, Marcus found it a bit odd, "I got something personal to tell you."

Cornelia let out a sarcastic laugh. Just a moment ago he was all about professional boundaries, and now he was talking personal? Did he think he could just do whatever the hell he wanted?

Marcus said, "Come closer."

Cornelia obediently moved towards him, but kept a distance.

Marcus asked, "Do I look like I'm gonna hurt you?"

Cornelia replied, "At work, it's better to keep a distance."

Marcus said, "Ride home with me after work."

Cornelia agreed, "Okay."

Marcus again said, "Come closer."

Cornelia asked with confusion, "What are you up to?"

Marcus replied, "I haven't hugged you all day, I wanna hug you."

Cornelia immediately pushed him away and sprinted towards the office exit, "President Hartley, it was you who said we need to keep things professional."

Marcus snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, "I'm here, don't be scared."

Cornelia leaned against him, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, her anxiety eased a bit.

Just as they were walking, a good-looking woman blocked their way, "President Hartley, welcome! Please, this way!"

Marcus, hand in hand with Cornelia, was about to follow the woman when she said, "President Hartley, Mr. Rivera said, you're to follow me alone. Mrs. Hartley will go with that handsome gentleman over there."

"Mrs. Hartley, allow me to be at your service tonight." A handsome man approached. But to Cornelia, no guy could hold a candle to Marcus.

Marcus pulled Cornelia behind him, glaring coldly at the two, "Outta my way!"

"President Hartley, we're just trying to treat you well, why so hostile?" The woman raised her hand, lightly patting towards Marcus' chest.
