Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 4

Cornelia was speechless.

Was this really something they should be discussing?-

But she then thought about her boss’ upset appearance,

It was possible though.

Cornelia sneaked a glance at Marcus, who elegantly swung his golf club and got a hole-in-one.

However, the president of Digital Sports wasn't as smooth, swinging several times without getting any balls in.

After a few rounds, the president of Digital Sports waved for someone to bring water.

Seeing this, Cornelia immediately handed Marcus a bottle of water and a towel.

The president of Digital Sports looked at Cornelia, his eyes blatantly scanning her body...

Cornelia was dressed in a white shirt and knee-length skirt, her long hair tied up in a bun, revealing her slender neck. Her makeup was light and elegant, and she looked clean and professional - a typical office attire.

However, the president of Digital Sports kept staring at her chest, his gaze so lewd it was as if Cornelia wasn't wearing anything. "President Hartley, your new assistant is not only young and beautiful, but her figure is top-notch as well."

Marcus responded indifferently, "Mr. Ducler, you flatter her."

The president of Digital Sports chuckled and asked Cornelia, "Miss, do you know how to play golf?"

As the president's assistant, Cornelia did know a little, but she wasn't an expert, and it wasn't her place to play in this situation.

"Mr. Ducler, I don't." She hated the way he looked at her, but to avoid making everyone uncomfortable, she didn't react. She took the empty water bottle from Marcus and prepared to step aside.

However, Mr. Ducler reached out and directly touched her butt, then wrapped his arm around her waist. "Miss, if you don't know, let me teach you."

Cornelia instinctively stomped hard on Mr. Ducler's foot, causing him to let go of her due to the pain and glare at her angrily.

Once free, Cornelia immediately stepped aside, anxiously looking at Marcus...

In such a business negotiation, she had offended a partner and might be fired.

What Cornelia didn't expect was Marcus suddenly speaking up, "Mr. Ducler, she's mine."

He looked at Mr. Ducler, his face expressionless, but his eyes revealed his displeasure.

Mr. Ducler appeared to have an epiphany and quickly apologized, "President Hartley, I'm sorry, I apologize to you."

Mr. Ducler continued speaking to Marcus but never took his eyes off Cornelia, "I really thought President Hartley was like the rumors said, not interested in women. Since you haven't gotten tired of this one, I'll wait a little longer."

"Mr. Ducler, apologize to her immediately!" Marcus played with his golf club, his face sporting a faint smile, making it hard to read his true emotions.

Mr. Ducler paused, then laughed, "President Hartley, we're partners, she's just your plaything..."

The word "plaything" was like a poisonous needle stabbing into Cornelia's heart, bringing up some unpleasant memories.

She had obtained her job through her own abilities and earned money through her own skills. Why was she being humiliated just because she was a woman and happened to be pretty?

This time, Cornelia didn't wait for Marcus to speak. She stood up for herself, "Mr. Ducler, don't you have any women in your family? Weren't you also born from a woman after ten months of pregnancy? Or do you think you need to humiliate a woman to prove your strength?"

She stood tall, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke eloquently.

Ben also came over, "Mr. Ducler, the Hartley Group doesn't lack partners like you, but our company respects and cares for every employee."

Hearing both assistants speak up, Mr. Ducler finally realized the seriousness of the situation. "President Hartley, I'm truly sorry, I shouldn't have treated your employee like that..." He paused, "Miss Cornelia, I'm very sorry!"
