Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 207

"Check out your car first. If there's no problem, we'll get the paperwork done and the ride's all yours," Mr. Evans proposed again.

"Well, I only have the right to use it. I can't really say it's mine," Cornelia knew that the whip the Hartley Group provided for its executives was more of a company loaner; the minute you walked out the door, the company snatched back the keys.

"Whatever rights, as long as you're the one behind the wheel, that's all that matters," Mr. Evans replied.

"Fair enough," Cornelia responded.

After giving the car the once-over, they sorted out the paperwork. Only then did Cornelia realize that the car was registered under her own name, not the Hartley Group's.

"Hold on a sec, Mr. Evans. Why is the ride registered under my name?" This wasn't supposed to be the case.

"Well, it's the company's new way to keep top talent on board. Work hard for us, and we'll not only throw in a set of wheels, but maybe even a new crib. This kinda stuff happens all the time, no biggie," Mr. Evans explained.

Hearing it was pretty much par for the course, Cornelia didn't push it.

With the car keys in her hand, Cornelia made a beeline for the boss's office. "President Hartley, thank you so much!"

Marcus, buried in paperwork, didn't even look up. "What're you thanking me for?"

"The car."

Finally lifting his eyes from the pile of documents, Marcus looked at her. "I don't need to bother with such trifles. If anyone deserves thanks, it's yourself for being a good worker."

His tone was as aloof as when she'd first started working for him. This made Cornelia very happy. It felt like a normal boss-employee relationship.

"Right," Cornelia responded, then left the office with a smile.

Watching her retreating figure, Marcus wondered if she realized he was the one who gave her the car?

Pulling out his personal phone, he sent a text to Cornelia as Jeremy, "I sent you a little gift. It's already at your company. Let me know what you think."

Another gift!
