Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 228

This little chick held a grudge, eh? Just kidded around and called her a silly goose and she got mad.

He chuckled and said, "If not silly goose, what should I call you? Little smarty pants?"

Cornelia was speechless.

Marcus continued, "You're very bright; you need to believe in your abilities. Hartley Group doesn't keep slackers. You've climbed up the ladder all by yourself, which says a lot about how capable you are. Don't ever let anyone, including me, belittle you, alright?"

"I get you." What he said made sense. If she didn't trust her abilities, she wouldn't have had the guts to ask those questions.

But his response was another pleasant surprise. He was never stingy with his praise for his subordinates. Recognizing their capabilities is something only a real leader can do.

This was different from some bosses who spent their time tearing their subordinates down, claiming that no one else would want them if they left the company.

After a half-hour drive, they arrived at the restaurant.

Coincidentally, they ran into an acquaintance, Leonardo Wilson, in the underground parking lot of the restaurant.

Leonardo was with a lady with heavy makeup. Her makeup was so elaborate that it was impossible to guess her real age.

Seeing them together so late for dinner, Leonardo's curiosity was piqued. "Marc, Cornelia, you two..."

The woman with him was wide-eyed when she saw Marcus. "Mr. Wilson, can you introduce me to your friend?"

Leonardo pinched her cheek and said, "Darling, he's out of your league; stop daydreaming."
