Chapter 157 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband
- Marcus hung up the phone and told Cornelia, “I didn’t really have anything else to do today just wanted to check out the ad exhibition” Comelia responded, “Gotcha” Last night at the auction, Marcus noticed Comelia’s interest in some artwork. He figured she might enjoy an art shows so he asked her to arrange a visit. But she didn’t seem too excited about it, which confused Marcus He asked her, “Don’t you like art exhibitions Comelia replied. “Does it really matter if I do?” She found Marcus question edd. She was his assistant, her job was to accompany him, whether she liked it or not made no difference Marcus was left speechless A bit bummed out by Cornelia’s response, Marcus pulled out his phone to call Steven, Im heading to FIG clubs now bring the Puff family, father and son, to meet me there” Steven agreed, “Sure thing” He sighed. “Only you could get away with talking to me like that‘ Marcus didn’t react and timply hung up He had barely arrived at the exhibition when he decided to leave Cornelia asked him, “President Hartley, aren’t you going to check out the exhibition?” “What’s the point if you’re not into it?” Marcus was about to say, but then changed his mind. “I just don’t feel like it anymore”
- With that Cornelia followed Marcus to the FIG club On the drive over. Marcus asked Cornelia another odd question, “What do you think of Niman? Cornelia didn’t understand why he asked this. She thought for a moment before answering. “He’s a famous artist young and handsome. Lots of girls probably go crazy for him? Just a while ago she and Briana were joking about him being old he had just turned 28 and Nimon was already over 30. But apparently Nimon was still young and handsome Did she have some kind of bias because he wasnt her type? Marcus asked. “Is he your type?” Cornelia replied, Tm already mamed“. Marcus started to get impatient. He said, “So if you weren’t married, you’d like him? Cornelia, emotional cheating is still cheating if you’re married, you should be faithful to your marriage” Comelia was getting a headache from all this. She only made a polite comment about someone and suddenly it was emotional cheating? She said, “President Hartley, I don’t have feelings for him. The only man i like is my husband Jeremy” It was all Jeremy’s fault. He left her in Marcus’s care and now Marcus was like a spy Jeremy had planted by her side, meddling in everything. He even cared about what type of man she liked. No wonder Marcus was acting more and more weird lately. She couldn’t figure out what was going on in his mind and it was increasingly difficult to deal with him if he kept this up, he would turn her hair grey with Marcus fell a bit relieved by her response, but he couldn’t resist getting a jab in at Nimon, “I still think he’s not good looking, doesn’t match our people’s aesthetic standards” Comelia replied. “You’re probably right” Marcus asked. “You don’t seem to agree with me?”
- “Marcus, I totally get your point” Cornelia thought to herself. Even my own husband didn’t meddle this much in my life, and you’re just his friend Who the hell did you think you are? Marcus didn’t say anything else. They arived at the FLG club in silence. Located in the outskirts of Harbor City, the club was decorated in a classical garden style it was Stever’s spot to entertain his pats and didn’t calm to the public By the time Comelia and Marcus arrived. Steven was already wading “Manus, five brought him. You handle this however you see fit. Don’t worry about me I don’t have anything to do with the Ruff family” karcus just smirked. ‘And what if you did” “Ainght, I guess I was a bit overconfident” Steven admitted, making a welcoming gesture and leading them into a room “Mi Ruff, the person you wanted to see, Ive brought him here” The sight of Marcus hit Hayden Ruff like a ghost, tuming him pale as a sheet You you’re Mi Hartley? Julian Ruff had hoped there might have been some mix up, that the Hartley Group had gotten the wrong person But seeing Hayden’s reaction, his hopes were dashed Before Marcus could even open his mouth, Julian Ruff dragged Hayden down to their knees “Mr Hartley my son was young and foolish, and he offended you I’m here to apologue on hid behalt Hayden Ruff was shaking all over his previous arrogance nowhere to be seen “Mr. Hartley, I mistook you It’s all my fault, please forgive me Marcus slowly squatted down in front of Hayden, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear “To me it doesn’t matter if you know who I am But you had no right to think of my enfe that way I wouldn’t let you touch a single hair on her head, yet you treated her the way you did. Do you think I can forgive that? Do you realize the price you have to pay for messing with her?” Hayden Ruff bowed and apologized repeatedly “Mr. Hartley. I’m sorry! I had no idea it was you two. If I had known, I would never have thought of your wife that way or acted out at the auction We, the Ruff Corporation will cover all the costs from last night as long as you let us off the hook”
