Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 281

Cornelia Stewart murmured, "I've noted all your advice. I know I have the Hartley Group backing me up, but how can I trouble you with such trivial stuff like people hitting on me?"

He was her boss, not her husband. What if she asked for his help when someone hit on her, and he said, "That's not my business"? What would she do then?

Hearing her grumble, Marcus Hartley's face softened, his voice turned gentle, "Cornelia, whether it's at work or in life, you can always come to me for help anytime you face any problem."

Even though Marcus made this promise, Cornelia didn't dare to take it seriously.

Their relationship was strictly that of boss and subordinate. She couldn't just expect his kindness because she shared the same name with his wife.

She quickly dismissed, "President Hartley, there's a ton of trivial stuff in life. I've been able to handle them all by myself before I met you and I should still be able to do so now."

Marcus was a bit annoyed now, "If you don't come to me for help, you could always turn to Jeremy Artis, right?"

As long as she didn't know he was her husband, she wouldn't tell him about the small troubles in her life, and she wouldn't seek his help first.

Cornelia asked, "President Hartley, are you and Jeremy close?"

Marcus replied, "Why do you ask?"

Cornelia said, "Your special attention towards me is partly because I share the same name with your wife, and partly due to Jeremy's request. If you value Jeremy's request so much, I think you must have a pretty good relationship with him."

Marcus said, "We've grown up together since we were kids."

He and Jeremy are the same person, didn't they grow up together?

"Did Jeremy also grow up with you?" Cornelia knew Marcus's friends were Leonardo Wilson and Cameron Reese. She didn't expect Jeremy to have grown up with him too. It made her understand why Marcus would value Jeremy's request so much.

Marcus said, "We not only grew up together, we are as close as one person. So, you can tell me whatever you need help with."

Cornelia awkwardly chuckled and didn't say anything.
