Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 678

Did he think he was easy to pull a fast one on him just because he was old?

Their mouths were all torn, looking like they had been bitten. Yet he had the gall to say he didn't do anything.

"You young folk, always up to no good. Here's some ointment, apply it to Cornelia later. You're a big guy, and a little wound is nothing. But Cornelia is a girl, and girls care about their looks." He took a tube of ointment out of the first aid kit and handed it to Marcus, "Next time you're sneaking a kiss, remember to wipe your mouth clean."

Marcus took the ointment, "You can leave now."

"Alright, off I go." Before leaving, Dr. Lester glanced at Cornelia, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't, "I'll take my leave."

Cornelia said, "I'll walk you out."

Exiting the president's office, Cornelia took Dr. Lester to a vacant small conference room, "Dr. Lester, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Dr. Lester said, "Go ahead."

Cornelia said, "We had an elevator malfunction today. When we were trapped, I thought President Hartley's reaction was a bit off, do you know."

Before Cornelia could finish, Dr. Lester hurriedly interrupted her, "What? What did you say? You guys were stuck in the elevator? How long was Marc trapped?"

Cornelia said, "About fifteen minutes."

Dr. Lester appeared extremely anxious, pushing Cornelia out, "You can't leave Marc alone in his office at a time like this, go keep him company."

Cornelia said, "Dr. Lester, President Hartley is fine now."

"Marc, he's claustrophobic, he might not be as calm inside as he appears. You have to stay with him today, and don't leave him alone. I fear the past might repeat itself." After saying these words, Dr. Lester realized he had let the cat out of the bag.
