Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 273

Cornelia quickly checked the auction time for the next day. It was due to start at eight in the evening, so hopping on a plane around noon would still get them there on time. Then, she looked up flights from Riverton to Harbor City. Both cities were top-tier, so there were plenty of flights going back and forth all day.

Going by Marcus's preferences, Cornelia booked a flight for ten in the morning. A two-hour flight would get them to Harbor City just in time for lunch. She told Marcus, "Mr. Hartley, I've booked a flight for ten tomorrow morning to Harbor City."

Marcus only wanted to keep Cornelia out of Riverton while Jeremy was in town but didn't expect his casual comment to set off such a flurry of activity, "You don't need to prep anything else. I'm just going to have a look-see. Carry on with your book."

Even though Marcus said not to prep, as his assistant, Cornelia had to be prepared. Otherwise, if they showed up at the auction clueless, she might as well kiss her job goodbye.

"Marcus, are you and Cornelia heading to Harbor City for the auction?" Briana, finally willing to put down her comic book after catching wind of their conversation, asked, "I've got nothing on my plate recently, can I tag along?"

"If you behave, I might consider it." Marcus gestured to her. He thought he was pretty clear, but Briana looked clueless, "What do you want me to do?"

"Don't you feel hungry?" Marcus asked.

At his reminder, Briana's stomach instantly growled, "Yeah, I'm actually starving. Let's grab something to eat."

Cornelia, engrossed in her book, had completely lost track of time and only just realized it was half-past twelve, "Mr. Hartley, I'll head out now. See you at the airport tomorrow morning."

"Do you need a ride?" Marcus didn't insist on her staying, just gave Briana a meaningful look. This time, Briana got it immediately.
