Chapter 111 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

Cornelia returned to the private dining room, where everyone else had already found their seats The only spot left was the one on Marcus’s right, so she took it As soon as she sat down, the water started serving the dishes Everything on the menu was ordered by Cornelia, who had done her homework about Mr. and Mrs King’s food preferences beforehand. When Mrs. King saw some dishes from her hometown at this specialty restaurant, she couldn’t help but take a second look at Cornelia. She complimented, “Mr. Hartley, Ms. Stewart is a thoughtful young lady” Marcus nodded. “Yes, she’s doing a great job” Cornelia politely replied. “Mrs King, you’re flattering me.” Then, out of the blue, Mrs King asked, “Mr. Hartley, who do you think is better, your wife or your assistant?” Cornelia was both amused and puzzled Why was she being compared to Marcus’s wife? How could they even be compared? Just when Cornelia was sure Marcus would say his wife was better than Ms. Stewart, Marcus’s deep and pleasant voice rose slowly, “They each have their own strengths Both are excellent women I don’t think we should be discussing this over dinner” Cornelia was touched Her boss, Marcus, was a good man who never made her feel awkward in front of others. “You’re right, I didn’t think about that,” Mrs King, moved by Marcus’s words, didn’t feel embarrassed Instead, she seemed even happier.
