Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 279

The man appeared to be younger than thirty, dressed in internationally renowned brands, and possessed handsome features.

However, Cornelia spoke directly, "It is impolite to stare at me without my consent."

The man responded with a smile, "So, if I have your permission, can I continue to gaze at you?" He chuckled softly and then asked, "Are you going to Harbor City alone? Are you going for leisure or work?"

To Cornelia, the stranger's words and actions were undoubtedly flirtatious, and she had no desire to engage with him. "We don't know each other, and what I do has nothing to do with you."

Despite Cornelia's straightforward rejection, the man remained unfazed, maintaining his charming smile. "Well then, allow me to introduce myself. I am Hayden Ruff, a native of Harbor City. And you, what is your name?"

Cornelia immediately searched for information about this man. Hayden Ruff, the scion of the Ruff Corporation and the future successor of the Ruff Corporation.

She'd heard some scandalous rumors about him recently. Rumor had it, he'd taken a fancy to a fresh college graduate. But when the girl didn't reciprocate his feelings, he resorted to dirty tactics, causing her to have a breakdown.

Of course, these were just rumors. Cornelia had no way to verify their truth.

But she knew that being tangled up with such a powerful figure would be a pain in the butt. She needed to figure out a way to shake him off.

Looking at him, he didn't quite match his photos online. If it weren't for his introduction, she might not have recognized him, "Mr. Ruff, are you looking to woo me, or asking me out?"

Hayden Ruff, a man who'd seen all sorts of women, was a bit disappointed at Cornelia's change of tune.

Hayden Ruff was nobody's puppet.

With his sunglasses on, Cornelia couldn't see his eyes, but from his facial expression, she could tell he was looking down on her. With a little more effort, he might lose interest completely.

Cornelia quickly recalled information about the Ruff Corporation, remembering a real estate development project they were currently bidding on.

She had a strategy at hand, "I heard that you're in charge of the Evergreen Estates bidding. If you could-"

Hayden Ruff was a flirt, but he wouldn't jeopardize his family business for a woman. Before Cornelia could finish, he cut her off coldly, "Just tell me straight up, who sent you to get close to me?"
