Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016 

Brennen said. “That woman is all over her husband like white on rice. She won’t hear a word against him. If you’re fantasizing about her pleading your case to him, you’re barking up the wrong tree” 

Dylan didn’t pick up the thread. He just started chowing down, wolfing his food down and washing it down with a few drinks. “If I were to work for you, what do you want me 

to do?” 

*Deal with Marcus, of course,” Brennen replied. “You’ve been up close and personal with him for years. You must have your hands on some juicy stuff I want.” 

Dylan took a swig straight from the bottle, “I just want to stay alive! My life is in my own hands.” 

“So?” Brennen prodded. 

“I’m in,” Dylan declared 

Brennen wasn’t surprised at all, he’d seen it coming from a mile away. “Great, here’s to a fruitful partnership.” 

Dylan looked at the hand Brennen extended, hesitantly shook it and said, “I just want to live” 

“As long as you want to, you will,” Brennen replied, securing his grip on one of Marcus‘ loyalists. A smug grin spread across his face. He couldn’t wait to see what Marcus could pull out of his hat against his carefully laid plans. Maybe, in no time, the Hartley Group would be back under his thumb. 

Marcus skipped lunch, so Cornelia cooked him a plate of spaghetti. He wasn’t really a fan, but because she made it, it tasted good. 

While he was eating. Cornelia just sat across from him, watching him. He was not only handsome with an elegant bearing but even his eating manners were a feast for the eyes. She could watch him forever. 

Marcus noticed her gaze. “Why are you staring at me? Got something on my face?” 

“You’re so handsome! You’re the most handsome man I’ve ever seen!” Cornelia blurted out. 

Marcus grinned, “Learned to flatter now, 

“No, I haven’t.” She protested 

“Then spit it out, Marcus said 

have you?”
