Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 430

Maybe it was because she was used to being compliant, or because she never forgot that she was an assistant to Marcus. She would do whatever he asked without ever thinking of refusing him. "Can I say no to him?" She thought to herself.

With a disappointed tone, Zack lightly tapped her forehead, "Nelly, you're his assistant, not his wife! Why can't you refuse to have dinner with him? You should call him right now and tell him you're not going."

Abigail quickly hugged Cornelia and said, "Nelly, just go! Why wouldn't we take him up on a free meal? We can go to the best restaurant in Riverton without spending a dime, and eat the fancy food we usually drool over but can't bear to splurge on! What reason do we have to say no?"

The mention of money got Cornelia, the money-lover, hooked, "Okay, we're going! Let's pick the most expensive restaurant. One of those where the average bill is in the thousands."

Abigail clapped her hands excitedly, "Perfect, we get to oggle the hottie up close again!"

"You two, one greedy for money, the other for men, are hopeless!" Zack said, storming off in frustration.

Cornelia and Abigail quickly caught up with him, "Zack, don't be mad."

He stood in the doorway, arm outstretched, "Ms. Stewart, you gotta buy a ticket to get in."

Cornelia laughed, "I need to buy a ticket to enter my own house? You can't be up to no good with that innocent face of yours."
