Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 146

Cornelia was taken aback for a moment, and it took her a while to understand his words. "Why would you do that?"

"Just to find an excuse to chat with you." Of course, Marcus couldn't tell the real situation, so he coughed lightly. "I just wanted to test your ability to handle things."

Testing her ability to handle things meant that if she hadn't discovered the flaw, she could have been fired by him.

In the past few months with him, Cornelia felt that she had done her best in every task and had never made any mistakes. However, her abilities still hadn't gained his approval.

This realization made Cornelia feel a little uncomfortable, so she lowered her eyebrows and just said, "Oh."

Marcus didn't notice her discomfort and put the tablet back. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Cornelia didn't want to feel depressed, nor did she want to be constantly on edge because of this job. So, she had to ask, "President Hartley, is there anything about my work that you're not satisfied with?"

Marcus immediately countered, "Did I ever say you're not doing a good job?"

Cornelia replied, "If you have no complaints about my work, then why suddenly test me?"

Marcus...

Unintentionally, he saw the scar on her left arm. It was a reminder of when she had risked her life to save him in West Region.

Although he had asked Dr. Dawson to use the best treatment, the wound was too deep, and a piece of flesh was missing. When new flesh grew, there were still some traces left.

The scars spread out thinly, like a blooming blood rose.
