Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 409

Sure, Cornelia would never spill the beans to anyone not related to Marcus, so she didn’t answer Zack’s question.

Zack got it, no more questions asked. He just switched the topic right away, "Nelly, where's the party at? How about me and Abby wait for you and give you a ride home? We don't want to wait till tomorrow."

Cornelia replied, "He didn't give any specifics, and didn't say where we're going. I have no idea how long it'll take. You and Abby don't have to wait. I'll grab a cab when I'm done."

Zack got more and more steamed up, "Paris to Riverton is a twelve-hour flight; anyone would be beat. No rest after the flight, just straight to work, Marcus is heartless."

"Zack, stop it, I know what I’m doing." Cornelia didn’t want to hear any more trash talk about Marcus, so she ended the call quickly.

She put away her phone and almost bumped into Marcus as she turned around, thankfully she steadied herself in time, "President Hartley, sorry, didn’t see you there."

Cornelia was on her phone as soon as they landed. Marcus saw her engrossed in her phone, oblivious to her surroundings. He worried she might bump into someone, so he walked on her outside, careful to protect her. Little did he know he'd overhear her friend complaining about him, "Your friend got beef with me?"

Cornelia got the fright of her life, and quickly shook her head, "No, President Hartley, don't sweat it."

Marcus grumbled, "I'm not deaf."

Cornelia laughed awkwardly, "I didn't mean it like that. Zack's just looking out for me. He’s always like that, doesn't matter who it is."
