Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 638

Chapter 638 

Today, Marcus only had one item on his agenda. With the originally planned lunch meeting being canceled, Cornelia had a two hour lunch break. 

After having lunch in the company cafeteria, Cornelia returned to her office, intending to call the cop in charge to ask about the progress of the investigation into the vandalism at the studio However, Ben walked over and looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger, Cornelia” 

Cornelia felt a bit uncomfortable and nudged her chair back a bit, “Spit it out, dude. No need to invade my personal space.” 

Ben said, “Anything going on between you and President Hartley that I’m not aware of?” 

“What are you blabbing about! Cornelia stuttered a bit, thinking that Ben had figured something out. 

Who knew Ben would continue. “How’d you pluck up the courage to advise President Hartley in that situation? And the kicker is, he actually took your advice. I was wondering, did you meet the president’s wife and get some secret method to control President Hartley from her?” 

Cornelia was taken aback. Phew, he didn’t figure it out! 

Ben said, “Cornelia, if you really did meet the president’s wife and got some tricks to control President Hartley from her, spill the beans to me too.” 

Cornelia said, “The method to control is just to treat everyone with genuine kindness.” 

Ben gave her a speechless look, then asked, “So, can you tell me why President Hartley was ticked off at me this morning? I’ve been on edge all morning, afraid that one day President Hartley will seriously ship me off to Antarctica” 

Not knowing why President Hartley was mad at him in the morning, Ben was always uneasy, worried that the ever–changing mood of Marcus could get him transferred anytime. 

Cornelia said, “Didn’t President Hartley tell you? He wants you to have confidence, not overconfidence. Stop overthinking, he won’t ship you off.” 

Ben asked, “How am I overconfident?” 

Cornelia said, “A girl gives you one extra glance, and you think she’s into you. If that’s not overconfidence, what is?” 

Ben said, “If you’re not into me, why do you blush when you look at me? You can’t possibly be blushing for President Hartley* 

Cornelia was speechless. Could she admit it? 

Ben continued, “As you know, even though we have to be respectful in front of President Hartley, outside many company bosses respect us and treat us politely. With our status, of course wed attract some young pretty girls. Ever since I started working for President Hartley, hundreds of girls have made moves on me. Can you blame me for being confident? If it wasn’t for my sense of responsibility and not wanting to lead girls on since I don’t want to marry, I could have had enough ex–girlfriends to line them up from here to the other side of the Riverton river.” 

Cornelia said, “Is this not overconfidence? Do you know what those girls see in you?” 

Ben said, “Of course, it’s my position as the president’s assistant at the Hartley Group” 

Cornelia said, “Okay, you’re no ordinary Joe. Ordinary folks don’t have your way of thinking” 

Ben replied, “If in the future the boss still has plans to transfer me to Antactica, you have to step up like you did today.”
