Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 863

Cornelia worked hard to ignore the odd glances thrown her way, throwing herself wholeheartedly into her work. Even after several days off, her teamwork with Marcus remained a seamless dance.

Seeing how well they worked together, Ben thought they were a perfect match. Not only did he think their marriage was a match made in heaven, but their working chemistry was also top-notch.

In the past, he also had to go through a series of selections to finally have the opportunity to get close to Marcus. When he first started working closely with Marcus, he struggled to keep up with Marcus' work pace, even making a few minor mistakes. Luckily, the mistakes weren’t serious, and Marcus let him stick around. It took him a while to finally get the hang of it.

As for Cornelia, from day one of being assigned to work with Marcus, she was outstanding. Throughout the year, he’d never seen her make a single mistake. Who would've thought, such a stellar girl, turned out to be President Hartley’s wife!

Lost in his thoughts, Marcus' private phone suddenly rang.

Marcus picked up the phone, hearing Granny Luisa’s frantic voice, “Marc, you gotta bring Nelly home right away, Granny Rebecca is on her deathbed.”

Despite having faced death many times, this news still hit Marcus hard. He barely believed his own ears, “What did you say?”

Granny Luisa’s sobbing voice came through again, “You gotta bring Nelly back asap, otherwise she might not get to see her granny one last time.”

“Postpone the meeting!” Marcus decided on the spot, hung up the phone, and grabbed Cornelia, “Cornelia, we need to go right now!”

After they left, their colleagues were confused.

Cornelia was dragged out of the meeting room by Marcus, bumping into a colleague on the way. She tried to shake off his hand, but she couldn’t, “President Hartley, we’re at the office. You can’t drag me around like this. It’s inappropriate if people see.”

Marcus ignored her and pulled her directly into the elevator, going down to the fourth basement floor. He then approached her car and pushed her into the passenger seat.

He got into the driver seat, started the car, and zoomed off.

Cornelia sensed something was up, “President Hartley, did something happen?”

He didn’t respond, his face extremely somber.
