Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1217

Chapter 1217 

Marcus was still rocking his uniform look, a white shirt paired with black trousers and his silver specS. 

Every move he made, Cornelia was familiar with. But the way Marcus looked at Cornelia was filled with indifference and unfamiliarity 

Comelia wanted to call out to Marcus, but her throat felt choked up, no sound came out. She wanted to walk towards him, but her legs felt like they were weighed down by something heavy, she couldn’t take a single step forward 

All she could do was watch as Marcus and Tahlia walked into the CEO’s private elevator together. The moment the elevator doors closed, it was as if she and Marcus were completely isolated in two worlds. 

Cornelia thought she heard the sound of something shattering. 

What was it that shattered? She wasn’t sure 

All she knew was that a piercing pain hit her again, making her feel as if her body was hollowed out in an instant, she could barely stand. 

Luckily, the security guard quickly reached out to steady her, “Cornelia, you’ve worked with Marcus for so long, you should know him better than us. He’s not someone we can understand you know you can’t have him, why are you ruining your future for him?” 

“Thanks” Cornelia gratefully said. John’s help prevented her from falling. “Do you think I’m a fool, like a joke?” 

John honestly nodded 

Camelia forced herself to stand up straight, lifted her head proudly and said with a smile. “So that’s what it feels like.” 

“What feeling?” The guard was puzzled. 

“It’s hard to explain” Cornelia laughed and then looked up at the impressive building, “John, where did that cactus I bought go? It used to be by the elevator.” 

“It got cleared away a few days ago I heard the new assistant didn’t like it, so Marcus had it removed. But that’s just a rumor, I don’t know if it’s true.” John answered. 

“What else have you heard?” Cornelia asked. 

When Cornelia was Marcus‘ assistant, she was good to the employees below, so many of them respected her. Secunty guard John was one of those who genuinely respected her. 

“We shouldn’t gossip about Marcus, but this has been the talk of the company recently Everyone in the company knows about it, and Marcus hasn’t come out to clarify, so I think it’s true John said. 

“What is it? Comelia asked 

“You don’t know? The rumor is that the new assistant Tahlia is Marcus‘ secret wife!” John said 

Hearing this, Cornelia felt as if her heart was being sliced by a knife. 

John continued, “Marcus has always been clear about separating his work from his personal life. No matter the relationship, he wouldn’t let anyone get close to him based on connections. To work with Marcus, everyone has to go through rounds of tests, only the best can work with him. This new special assistant, from the moment she joined the company, she was different. Rumor has it, she was hired under President Hartley’s personal instruction, and was assigned to the CEO’s office. In reality, Tanlia is the heiress of the Reese family, she grew up with President Hartley and they are lovers. The Reese family ran into trouble, so President Hartley helped her change her identity and arranged for her to work beside him. He really put a lot of effort into this.”
