Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 428

Marcus, grinning at Ben, said, "You can go now."

Feeling his boss's displeasure, Ben wasn't sure what he'd done to upset him this time. He nodded, then quickly took his leave.

Cornelia handed Marcus some documents, ready to give her report, only to hear him ask, "Why didn't you shut that guy down right away?"

Lifting her head, Cornelia looked at Marcus. For a moment, she thought he was looking at her with jealousy, like a husband would at his wife being pursued by another man.

She shook her head, thinking she must be imagining things. It was just a colleague who had shown interest in her, and she'd blown it out of proportion, even thinking that President Hartley was into her.

"To be clear, he only asked for my advice on work stuff, he never said he liked me." She explained to Marcus, "Should I have shot him down right away? What if I misunderstood?"

After her reply, she felt something was off, "President Hartley, does our company have a policy against dating coworkers?"

If there wasn't such a rule, then Marcus had no right to meddle with her personal life.

Marcus remained silent, just staring at her.

Nervously, Cornelia asked, "Is there a problem?"

After a while, Marcus finally said, "Others can do it, but not you. You're married."

With an arm draped over each of their shoulders, Cornelia replied, "I should have a few free days coming up. Let's check on the renovation first, then I'll treat you guys to dinner."

"No need." Zack said, "Our studio just made a lot of money. We can treat you."

Cornelia asked curiously, "What did you guys make money on?"

Abigail quickly responded, "Our comic that we sold the rights to is super popular now! With Hannah, a popular actress as the lead, the adaptation has been widely anticipated from the start. The teaser released by the production is quite enticing, drawing in Hannah's fans and others who found the trailer intriguing. Our comic has been topping the sales charts for months now. Isn't that considered making big money?"

Hearing about the incoming money, Cornelia couldn't help but feel excited.
