Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 633

Marcus suddenly whipped his head around, a fierce glare piercing into Ben, "Ben, why are you so cocky?"

His voice was chilling to the bone, sending shivers down Ben's spine, leaving his mind a jumbled mess, "President Hartley, didn't you say that confidence is key for being your assistant?"

Marcus eyed him coldly, "I told you to be confident, not overconfident. I'm curious, why do you keep thinking Cornelia has a thing for you?"

Marcus had a keen sense for these things, so sharp that he still remembered a similar remark from Ben months ago.

Ben felt a chill run down his spine under Marcus' gaze, stuttering in his explanation, "There were only the three of us in the elevator. Cornelia wasn't sick or anything, but her face was all flushed. There must be a reason. She can't be into you, so she must be into me."

"Into you? What's so special about you that Cornelia would fall for you?" Marcus felt that Ben's assumption was an insult to both him and Cornelia, "The Antarctica division is short-staffed, report there immediately."

Ben thought he must have heard wrong, "President Hartley, you're sending me to work in Antarctica?"

Marcus asked, "Is there a problem?"

The news hit Ben like a bolt out of the blue, "President Hartley, you're really sending me to Antarctica? Did I screw up at work? Please, don't make me go there. It’s so cold."

Marcus looked at the crying Ben coldly, without saying a word. Marcus' possessiveness was getting a little out of hand; it wasn't right to relocate a long-serving employee over a comment. Cornelia didn't want to get a tongue-lashing over this.

She quickly chimed in, "President Hartley, he didn't mean any harm. He might just be a bit careless. After all, he's never been in a relationship, he's not even considered it. Don't hold it against him."

Ben was still clueless about what he did to upset his boss, "What does my relationship status have to do with me going to Antarctica?"

Cornelia hastily hushed him, "Shut up."

She turned to Marcus, a pleasing smile on her face, "President Hartley, he's been with you for years. Please don't act on impulse."
