Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 683

Marcus had no clue how the Padilla family had helped his grandpa out, and didn't really dig into it. Still, he remembered his granny's words. If they ever needed a hand with something, as long as it wasn't illegal, he would do his best to help.

"Take a seat, everyone." Marcus sat and Cornelia handed him some documents, with important parts highlighted.

Got to give it to her, Cornelia was a top-notch assistant. Ever since she started working with him, things felt much easier. But he also realized, the easier his life got, the harder hers became.

Before the meeting officially started, Mr. Sharp from Moongazer Tech said, "It's an honor for Moongazer Tech to collaborate with President Hartley and the Hartley Group. We hope for your guidance in the future."

Marcus didn't say much and just kicked off the meeting.

As usual, Cornelia and Ben were on either side of Marcus, doing their respective jobs. One handed him documents, the other took down important points from the meeting.

Cornelia felt like someone was watching her while she was preparing documents for Marcus. Looking up, she met Roman's gaze again.

He smiled at her, seemingly saying something without words.

Cornelia didn't bother guessing what he was trying to say. She just glanced at him and then went back to her work.

Today was the first discussion about the collaboration on this project. Mr. Sharp was the first to speak. He introduced the entire project plan, followed by Roman, the project lead.

It was clear that Roman, being a core member of Moongazer Tech's tech research team, was a big shot. He talked non-stop on the stage, with all the ladies in the audience hooked on his every word.

But he didn't pay much attention to other women. His gaze kept falling on Cornelia. During his half-hour speech, he looked her way no less than 10 times.

Two hours in the morning, three hours in the afternoon. A five-hour-long meeting. Everyone was exhausted when it ended. People started to pack up and leave, and soon the meeting room was almost empty.

Cornelia packed up her documents and was ready to leave with Marcus when Roman suddenly called out, "Cornelia!"

He didn't refer to her as assistant, but called her by her name. That shout attracted the attention of everyone who was still in the room. Especially Marcus, he paused for a moment, glanced at Cornelia from the corner of his eye, and then casually walked out.

Cornelia stopped, turned around, looked at Roman with a smile, "What's up?"

Her tone was polite and professional.

The unfamiliar tone made Roman frown slightly. He walked towards Cornelia, "Do you have any plans after work? If not, I'd like to invite you to dinner. Would you like to join me?"
