Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 807

When Cornelia woke up, the sun was already high up and Marcus was nowhere to be found.

Her internal clock was usually spot on. Even without an alarm, she'd wake up around the same time. What on earth had her sleeping till 10 am?

She rolled over and stared at the empty side of the bed.

This was their third night living together, and for the last two, he’d waited for her at breakfast every morning. Waking up to his absence left her feeling somehow empty, as if him waiting for her at breakfast had already become a longstanding routine.

She felt out of sorts without him around for even a day.

Cornelia grabbed her phone and shot Marcus a message without giving it a second thought.

Suddenly, three messages popped up on the big screen in the conference room, causing the room to go eerily silent, even the experienced Ben felt a twinge of anxiety.

Cornelia: [What time did you get up? ]

Cornelia: [Are you at the office already?]

Cornelia: [Why didn't you wake me up?]

These messages shocked everyone in the room.

However, Marcus acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary, picked up his phone and typed out a couple of lines, then hit send: [ I saw you were tired last night, so I let you sleep in. Didn't wake you up.]

Thanks to the phone screen being projected onto the big screen, everyone in the room could clearly see their conversation.

Ben collected himself, ready to continue, when another ping from his phone interrupted him.

Marcus checked his phone again, it was a new message in the group chat, sent by his grandmother: [I used to worry that our Marc didn't know how to treat a lady. After watching this video, I now know that Marc sure knows how to charm a girl. What was I worried about?]

The 'charm a girl' part referred to the way he kissed in the video. Marcus got it. To avoid distractions, he set his phone to silent and got down to business.

But as he exited the group chat, he accidentally tapped on a video Briana had sent last night.

Simultaneously, a video of a couple passionately kissing appeared on the big screen in the conference room. Their kiss was long and intense, as if they couldn't bear to part.

The screen was so large that they could even see the man gently biting the woman's lower lip during the kiss. Anyone in the room could tell that the couple in the video were Marcus and his assistant, Cornelia.
