Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 427

Chapter 427 

Comelia tumed, flashing a smile, “Need a hand?” 

The young man adjusted his glasses nervously. “Got anything else to do today? Mind if I take you out for dinner alone? I’ve got work stuff I want to pick your brain about.” 

For the past couple of weeks, the whole squad had been tirelessly discussing the project. Usually, they all ate together, even using meal times to talk about work. 

The young lad catching Cornelia’s attention in front of everybody and wanting to dine with her alone, anyone could see what he was driving at. 

Marcus, who hadn’t left yet, listened attentively. He was sure Cornelia would turn this young man down without hesitation, but Cornelia’s reply next took him by surprise. 

Comelia answered with a smile, ‘Sure, but I have plans tonight.” 

Before Comelia even finished, the young man hastily interrupted, “That’s cool. Can I add you on WhatsApp? We can arrange another 

time.” 

“If you need advice on work, let’s talk about it now.” Cornelia glanced at her wristwatch, “It’s only six now. My husband and I have dinner plans at eight. I’ve got some time to kill.” 

Cornelia wasn’t sure about the real reason this guy wanted her attention. If he genuinely wanted to talk business, doing it at the office worked best. If he had other ideas, she’d already made it clear she was married. Anyone understanding this wouldn’t bother her further. 

Upon hearing Cornelia’s answer, Marcus relaxed his eyebrows and left satisfied. 

The young man looked somewhat embarrassed, “I honestly didn’t expect you to be married at such a young age.” 

Others from the project team also expressed surprise, “You’re really married?” 

Cornelia nodded with a smile, “Yeah, my grandparents were eager to see their great–grandchildren, so I got married the year I graduated. In a few days, it’ll be my second wedding anniversary with my husband.” 

The young man scratched his head awkwardly, “I just had a few minor questions. We can talk about it tomorrow. Go ahead with your 

stuff.” 

Cornelia nodded, “Alright, see you tomorrow.” 

After Cornelia left, someone patted the young man’s shoulder, “Bran, don’t aim too high next time. Just go for an average Jane. Cornelia was around President Hartley all day. After seeing his handsome face, would she even look at common guys like us?” 

Someone else chimed in, “Cornelia is so young and pretty, how could she be married? If I were Cornelia, being President Hartley’s assistant already, I’d rather drop dead than marry another man. I’d go all out to pursue him.” 

The moment he finished, someone knocked his head, “Cornelia isn’t that dumb. President Hartley is already married and adores his wife. That’s why Cornelia, having no other intentions towards him, is so trusted by President Hartley.” 

The young man gently pushed up his glasses, ignoring the discussion around him, muttering to himself, “Although Comelia is married now, the divorce rate is so high these days. Who knows, she might get divorced one day.” 

Others laughed, “Alright, keep waiting for her to get divorced. But just so you know, even when she does, she might not choose you.” 

The young man didn’t respond. 

Cornelia returned to the President’s office. Ben had just finished a work report. Seeing Cornelia come in, he joked with a smile, “I’ve noticed you’re becoming quite popular among the guys recently.” 

Cornelia replied, “Ben, don’t tease me.” 

Ben said, “Bran doesn’t usually stand out, but he’s got a sharp eye. He’s taken a shine to you so quickly.”
