Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 521

Jeremy had been AWOL the entire day.

Cornelia had a full-blown panic attack. She paced nervously around her room, determined to track him down no matter what. She tried giving him a ring, but it was like trying to get blood out of a stone, no answer. So, she thought about calling his colleagues. But then, it dawned on her, that she didn't have his colleagues' digits.

She didn't know squat about Jeremy. Even after being hitched for two years, she was still in the dark about his job...

Feeling like a fish out of water, Cornelia thought of Marcus and Briana. These siblings knew Jeremy better than she did and might have contacts she needed.

After some pondering, she shot a message to Marcus: "Hey, President Hartley, sorry to bug you this late. You don't happen to have Jeremy's work buddies' contact, do you?"

After sending the message, she stared at her phone, waiting for a reply. But Marcus was like a ghost, no response.

Feeling a bit stood up, Cornelia decided to bite the bullet and give Marcus a call.

It took forever for him to pick up. As soon as he answered, Cornelia blurted out: "President Hartley, sorry to be a pain and call you this late. I just wondered if you have Jeremy's colleagues' number?"

But the voice on the other end was Dr. Dawson's: "Cornelia, Marc's swamped, hasn't got time for your call. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up."

Cornelia wasn't ready to let this lead go cold: "Dr. Dawson, could you maybe ask him if he has Jeremy's colleagues' number?"

Dr. Dawson replied: "Sorry! Marc's off-limits, I can't help you." And then she hung up.
