Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 430

Maybe it was because she was used to being compliant, or because she never forgot that she was an assistant to Marcus. She would do whatever he asked without ever thinking of refusing him. "Can I say no to him?" She thought to herself.

With a disappointed tone, Zack lightly tapped her forehead, "Nelly, you're his assistant, not his wife! Why can't you refuse to have dinner with him? You should call him right now and tell him you're not going."

Abigail quickly hugged Cornelia and said, "Nelly, just go! Why wouldn't we take him up on a free meal? We can go to the best restaurant in Riverton without spending a dime, and eat the fancy food we usually drool over but can't bear to splurge on! What reason do we have to say no?"

The mention of money got Cornelia, the money-lover, hooked, "Okay, we're going! Let's pick the most expensive restaurant. One of those where the average bill is in the thousands."

Abigail clapped her hands excitedly, "Perfect, we get to oggle the hottie up close again!"

"You two, one greedy for money, the other for men, are hopeless!" Zack said, storming off in frustration.

Cornelia and Abigail quickly caught up with him, "Zack, don't be mad."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they went upstairs.

It was 7 p.m., the construction workers had already left. But the site manager, Trent, was still there.

He stood in the doorway, arm outstretched, "Ms. Stewart, you gotta buy a ticket to get in."

Cornelia laughed, "I need to buy a ticket to enter my own house? You can't be up to no good with that innocent face of yours."

All the utilities, floors, walls, kitchen, stove, and other facilities were already furnished by the developer. All she needed to do was to decorate and add appliances. Initially, the balcony had no windows, which was great for ventilation but allowed too much dust in.

Due to her busy schedule, Cornelia didn't have enough time to keep the house clean. After much thought, she decided to install windows on the balcony for practicality.

She thought the view from within the house would be limited after installing windows. But Trent designed a large floor-to-ceiling window for her.

Now, she could look out from the living room and see the view of the garden within the complex. It was a pity that she couldn't afford a lake view house, or the view from the window would have been even more beautiful.

Next, she went into the room near the balcony, which was initially intended for her grandma. Before the renovation, she gave Trent some pointers and he didn't disappoint her. Granny Rebecca's room was decorated with a unique style.
