Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 427

Cornelia turned, flashing a smile, "Need a hand?"

The young man adjusted his glasses nervously, "Got anything else to do today? Mind if I take you out for dinner alone? I've got work stuff I want to pick your brain about."

For the past couple of weeks, the whole squad had been tirelessly discussing the project. Usually, they all ate together, even using meal times to talk about work.

The young lad catching Cornelia's attention in front of everybody and wanting to dine with her alone, anyone could see what he was driving at.

Marcus, who hadn't left yet, listened attentively. He was sure Cornelia would turn this young man down without hesitation, but Cornelia's reply next took him by surprise.

Cornelia answered with a smile, "Sure, but I have plans tonight."

Before Cornelia even finished, the young man hastily interrupted, "That's cool. Can I add you on WhatsApp? We can arrange another time."

"If you need advice on work, let's talk about it now." Cornelia glanced at her wristwatch, "It's only six now. My husband and I have dinner plans at eight. I've got some time to kill."

Cornelia wasn't sure about the real reason this guy wanted her attention. If he genuinely wanted to talk business, doing it at the office worked best. If he had other ideas, she'd already made it clear she was married. Anyone understanding this wouldn't bother her further.

Upon hearing Cornelia's answer, Marcus relaxed his eyebrows and left satisfied.

The young man looked somewhat embarrassed, "I honestly didn't expect you to be married at such a young age."

Others from the project team also expressed surprise, "You're really married?"
