Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 300

Zack was like, "I'm trying to have a serious convo with you, stop kidding around."

Cornelia replied, "Alright, I promise you guys, I'll take good care of myself."

They still had a lot to say, but the plane was about to take off, the flight attendant kept reminding everyone to switch to airplane mode, and Cornelia finally ended the call with them.

From Harbor City to Paris, it's about a thirteen-hour flight.

Long flights can wear people out, and once they landed in Paris, there was no time to rest, Cornelia started dealing with the aftermath with Marcus and others.

The company had lost nine employees, with seventeen injured, three of them critically, still in intensive care and their lives hanging by a thread. The families of those who died or were injured were falling apart, some even stirred up trouble at the company.

The Paris police had officially declared the incident as a terrorist attack orchestrated by a group that had rigged a car with explosives, carrying out a random act of violence. The fact that the terrorists responsible were still at large was causing immense fear and anxiety among the employees. The uncertainty of when or where the next attack might occur kept everyone on edge.

Although Cornelia was eager to assist, her lack of proficiency in French hindered direct communication with the locals. Therefore, Marcus assigned her to handle logistics while he, Ben, and the others dealt with frontline matters. The entire team was overwhelmed with their responsibilities, working tirelessly to address the situation.

Finally, after enduring ten demanding days, Cornelia reunited with Marcus and the rest of the team. Upon seeing Marcus again, she couldn't help but notice his noticeable weight loss and tired eyes.

Marcus glanced at her and remarked, "You seem a bit off. Have you been eating properly during these past few days?"

"President Hartley, you've lost weight too, so it's normal for me to look a bit off," Cornelia replied. Over the course of these ten days, she had been surviving on less than four hours of sleep per day, managing various tasks and responsibilities. It was understandable that she appeared fatigued. Nevertheless, she made sure to prioritize her meals, as proper nutrition was crucial for sustaining her energy levels.

Marcus had entrusted Cornelia with the back-end tasks not solely due to her limited French language skills but also because he didn't want her to take unnecessary risks alongside him.

He thought if he had her working in the back, without him around, she'd have more time to eat and rest properly. But he didn't expect Cornelia to be so serious about her work, she put her all into any task he assigned her.

Marcus said, "Let's eat first."

Cornelia and Ben followed Marcus to the hotel restaurant for a meal. The food in a five-star hotel was obviously great.

Cornelia ordered for Marcus first, then ordered her own favorites.

Before the food came, Cornelia asked, "President Hartley, how's everything going with the situation?"

Marcus replied, "There are still some follow-up matters to handle. Starting tomorrow, you'll work with me again. You can delegate your previous tasks to others."
