Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 109

She had no idea that Marcus' eyes were always on her, and when her thin blanket slipped off, he gently covered her up again.

About two hours later, the group arrived in the Capital and went straight to Sunset Bay Resort. Sunset Bay Resort is a high-end multifunctional area in the Capital that combines business, leisure, and vacation.

The Hartley Group team rented a total of five villas, with Cornelia and Ben staying in the same villa as Marcus.

The villa had three floors, with Marcus living on the top floor and Cornelia and Ben each having a room on the second floor.

Just as Cornelia put her luggage in her room, she received a call from Marcus, "Cornelia, put your luggage away and come with me to meet someone."

"President Hartley, who are we meeting? I'll see if I need to prepare any materials." All the attendees of the conference were top people in the industry, and the company's leaders had scheduled meetings with each other. Marcus didn't have any meetings scheduled for today.

Marcus said, "No need to prepare, just going for lunch."

"Alright." Cornelia tidied up a bit and went to find Marcus, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Marcus waiting for her outside.

He was actually waiting for her, a small assistant, which made Cornelia panic, "President Hartley, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!"

Marcus called her name softly, "Cornelia."

She said, "President Hartley, what can I do for you?"

He continued, "Today, I'm going to meet a very close friend of mine, who has been a mentor to me in life. He's very important to me. Recently, his health has worsened, and he probably doesn't have much time left. He told me that his greatest wish is for me to bring my wife to see him and show him that I'm happily married. As you know, my wife and I had some misunderstandings, and she's still mad at me. So I was hoping you could pretend to be my wife and meet my friend to fulfill his wish."

"President Hartley, this..." Before Cornelia could finish her refusal, Marcus interrupted her, "Of course, if you don't want to, you can refuse. Anyway, he hasn't seen my wife before. You can find another woman to pretend to be my wife."
