Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 19

Cornelia felt a terrible headache, but when she heard Marcus's question, she immediately said, "Don't worry, President Hartley, my work won't be affected at all."

Marcus didn't pay attention to her anymore and got on the business van heading to the scenic area.

A driver and Helena joined to pick them up, making it a party of five in the car, including the trio.

Helena sat next to Marcus, chatting him up about the scenic area's info the whole way. Cornelia and Ben sat in the back, taking notes on their laptop about their conversation.

During the hour-long drive, Helena kept talking, and Cornelia and Ben kept taking notes. By the time they arrived at the scenic area, it was already evening.

The company had arranged dinner, but Cornelia wasn't feeling well and had no appetite, so she decided to check in first.

The Hartley Group's own hotel was fully equipped.

It was quite a rare find to have such a hotel in such a relatively remote place.

After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, Cornelia went to bed. Just as she fell asleep, she was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

The call was from Merlin, her tone not very friendly, "Ms. Stewart, it's already past eight, why aren't you here?"

Cornelia suddenly remembered that she had made an appointment to meet with a lawyer tonight, but she was so far away from Riverton that it was impossible to go back immediately, "I'm sorry, I'm pretty busy lately and don't have time to meet with you."

Merlin asked, "When will you have time to see me? Give me a definite time, please."

This job was a temporary arrangement, and how long it would last depended on Marcus's decision.
