Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 209

Ben is so ugly, and yet he’s in the running to be Cornelia's boyfriend. Why not Marcus?

Ben, completely clueless, was called to the president's office, "President Hartley, you wanted to see me?"

Marcus just stared at him, not saying a word, which gave Ben the heebie-jeebies, "President Hartley, is there something wrong with the report?"

Just after saying he was in a good mood, Ben got into trouble twice in a row, seems like he needs to watch his mouth in the future.

Ben couldn't figure out what on earth had upset President Hartley.

After a while, Marcus finally spoke, "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

The boss, who never meddles with his employees' private affairs, suddenly showed interest in Ben's. Ben smelled a rat, "President Hartley, I’m a bachelor. I like being single."

Marcus stared at Ben, as if he was ready to rip him apart if he said the wrong thing, "Why do you want to stay single?"

Afraid to touch a nerve, Ben didn’t dare to tell the truth, "President Hartley, I’m okay at work, but my personal life is a hot mess, I don’t want to drag a good girl into it."

Marcus gave a cold snort, "You better not have any other ideas."

Ben thought: Other ideas? Could he possibly think I’m gay? Or that I have some sort of crush on him?

Ben quickly clarified, terrified, "President Hartley, I have no other ideas, I wouldn’t dare."
