Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 204

Cornelia returned to the private dining room, where everyone else had already found their seats. The only spot left was the one on Marcus's right, so she took it.

As soon as she sat down, the waiter started serving the dishes.

Everything on the menu was ordered by Cornelia, who had done her homework about Mr. and Mrs. King's food preferences beforehand.

When Mrs. King saw some dishes from her hometown at this specialty restaurant, she couldn't help but take a second look at Cornelia. She complimented, "Mr. Hartley, Ms. Stewart is a thoughtful young lady."

Marcus nodded, "Yes, she's doing a great job."

Cornelia politely replied, "Mrs. King, you're flattering me."

Then, out of the blue, Mrs. King asked, "Mr. Hartley, who do you think is better, your wife or your assistant?"

Cornelia was both amused and puzzled. Why was she being compared to Marcus's wife? How could they even be compared?

Just when Cornelia was sure Marcus would say his wife was better than Ms. Stewart, Marcus's deep and pleasant voice rose slowly, "They each have their own strengths. Both are excellent women. I don't think we should be discussing this over dinner."

Cornelia was touched. Her boss, Marcus, was a good man who never made her feel awkward in front of others.

"You're right, I didn't think about that," Mrs. King, moved by Marcus's words, didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she seemed even happier.

She had attended many social gatherings with Mr. King, where many men had said offensive things, especially when talking about women. Their words were as disgusting as shit.

Men who respected women like Marcus were rare.
