Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 15

Ben's words echoed in Cornelia's mind...

She used to think that Marcus, like others, had doubted her private life, so when she went to him, he was so ruthless.

She believed he gave her the opportunity to scrutinize and clear the facts out of pity as her superior.

She dared not imagine that Marcus had believed in her innocence from the beginning, and he asked her to find evidence to fight back against the rumors...

Back then, only her grandma, Zack, and Abby trusted her unconditionally.

Marcus, the leader of a top corporation, an awe-inspiring figure, had worked with her for a month and three days, yet he trusted her as much as those closest to her, unconditionally.

Because of this, Cornelia decided that even without a high salary, she would remain loyal to Marcus and become his most capable subordinate.

Back at the table, Marcus was drinking soup, and Cornelia was quietly watching him...

If temperament was an art, no one could compare to her President Hartley. Even drinking soup, he looked so elegant and noble, like a beautiful world-renowned painting.

Marcus felt her gaze, "What are you looking at?"

Cornelia showed a flattering smile, sincerely complimenting him, "I just think President Hartley is the best boss in the world."

Ben gently nudged her, reminding her that President Hartley only valued his subordinates' abilities and didn't accept brown-nosing.

Marcus didn't react much to her words, coldly saying, "talk less at the dinner table."

Cornelia nodded, "Okay."

Soon, employees trickled into the dining room, jovial and chatting. But upon spotting the prominent figure in the center, their demeanor turned serious, exceeding even their work seriousness.

However, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on their table.

Cornelia boldly guessed...

Marcus, who never came to the employee cafeteria, suddenly showed up, perhaps to show everyone that Cornelia was still his special assistant and the recent news wouldn't change anything.

Cornelia quietly asked her guess, "President Hartley, did you come to the cafeteria to help me?"

Marcus elegantly wiped his mouth and coldly replied, "I'm not here to help you, but your ability and efficiency today showed me your value."

His answer was cold, but it was the highest affirmation of Cornelia's abilities.

He never doubted her and even helped her. This was the biggest kindness she received today.

Cornelia sincerely said, "President Hartley, I really appreciate you!"

Marcus glanced at her impatiently, unintentionally seeing her scalded ear and neck, feeling annoyed for some reason, "Dr. Dawson will be here in a bit, ask her for some medicine."

With his reminder, Cornelia felt the pain from the scald, "Alright."
