Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 681

"President Hartley." Ben jumped out of his skin, quickly diving under the desk.

His slick move left Cornelia completely gobsmacked.

Marcus looked at Ben hiding under the desk, "Weren't you going to challenge me, chickened out already? Look at you!"

"I was just shooting the breeze with Cornelia, wouldn't dare to challenge you. President Hartley, you're big-hearted, please don't sweat the small stuff with me." Ben's voice trembled with fear. But he mustered up courage to crawl out from under the desk, hoping to give Marcus a piece of his mind.

However, as soon as he met Marcus's hawk-like piercing gaze, Ben's courage evaporated instantly, "President Hartley, I admit I’m scared of you but Cornelia, she is a good girl, she’s our colleague too, with us every day. Don’t hurt her.”

“Cornelia is a good girl, do you think I don’t know? Do you need to tell me?” Marcus moved towards Cornelia’s desk under Ben’s watchful eyes, “Let’s go home together tonight.”

Cornelia frantically signaled him not to blurt out such things in front of Ben.

But Marcus didn’t play by her rules. He respected her wish to keep their relationship under wraps, but he didn’t want to keep it from those close, “Choose between Celestial Chateau or Blueshell Mansion, you have to make a choice tonight.”

Cornelia said, "Liar! You promised me you wouldn't reveal my identity, now you..."

Marcus said, "Ben is smart, you think we can fool him?"

Cornelia, knowing he was doing this on purpose, glared at him, "Big fat liar! I'll never trust you again."

Marcus wasn't bothered by her anger. He decided to take her home tonight and let her return to their house as the lady of the house, "Where to? You choose, so I can get it ready."

Cornelia said, "I'm going home. Zack's birthday is tomorrow."

Marcus said, "I'll go with you tomorrow."

Cornelia said, "No."
