Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 498

If Cornelia lost her job, the relationship she had busted her hump to keep will snap, and getting close to Marcus would become a whole lot harder.

So, what was she supposed to do?

Once she was in this mess, getting out ain't a walk in the park. Just gotta wing it, and if she could hook up with Marcus, then that was what’s best for her. If nothing happened, she was gotta look out for herself and figure out how to keep Cornelia safe.

......

Zavier headed back to Marcus, who was lounging on the sofa. His legs crossed all classy, swirling a glass of red wine, the same pose he was in when he left.

The wine in his glass hadn’t lessened a bit.

Zavier plopped down next to him, took the glass from Marcus and chugged it, "Marc, you're really on guard with me, huh? I invite you to have a couple drinks, and you won't even take a sip. You scared I'm gonna poison your wine?"

Marcus simply said, "Hmm."

Zavier huffed, "You're such a drag."

"I don't mind having a drink with you, but first you gotta answer some questions." Marcus refilled his glass, took a sip, "When did you open this club here?"

Zavier replied, "This club's been around for a few years now, can't quite remember when exactly."

Marcus asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Zavier explained, "This place is mainly for gathering some juicy gossip around Riverton, definitely gonna rub some folks the wrong way. I didn't tell you 'cause I didn't want to drag you into this."

Marcus smiled, "The folks here do seem a bit out of the ordinary."

Zavier remarked, "They are some real talents. They can do anything except wait tables. Look at us, no one's even pouring our drinks."
