Chapter 185 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• He knew Marcus was in a funk lately, but there didn’t seem to be anything physically wrong with him. Dr. Dawson couldnt spill the beans that Marcus had asked him to check up on Cornelia He said, “Just a routine check–up. Ilgo And President Hartley first, you keep on truckin‘ Ben replied. “President Hartley is in the loo You’ll have to hang light for a bl Dr. Dawson responded, “Alright” Comelia walked into the bathroom She looked in the mirror and saw that her nose was swollen and as red as a beet It looked pretty gnarly The bump initially only made her nose a bit red. How did it swell up so fast? If she showed up looking like this for Marcus‘ chent meeting, it would definitely taint the Hartley Group’s image, something Marcus wouldn’t stand for. She needed to stop the bleeding and figure out a way to reduce the swelling ASAP She couldn’t afford to drop the ball now. Corela bent down to wash her nose but the bleeding wouldn’t stop No matter how much she tried to clean it, it still looked pretty gruesome With no other option, Cornelia resorted to an old trick from her childhood. She rolled up two tissues and shoved them up her nostrils to stop the bleeding. Suddenly, the bathroom door was flung open, scaring her so much that she smeared blood on her face. She looked like a mess, but there was something kind of adorable about it. Then a tall figure appeared before her President Hartley, what are you doing barging into the ladies‘ room?” Marcus looked serious and didn’t utter a word. Heyanked her by the arm and led her out, his other hand holding his phone, dialing a number, ‘Are you there yet?”
• Dr. Dawson replied, Tm here Waiting for you in your office. Marcus hung up the phone and dragged Cornelia to his office. He firmly planted her on the couch, and ordered Dr Dawson, “Stop her bleeding now! If she dies, you’re toast too.” Cornelia thought to herself, what a hard luck, he actually just jinxed her to die! It’s been so long since their last argument and he was still holding a grudge As the head honcho of the Hartley Group, how could he be so spiteful! Dr. Dawson instantly attended to Corneha’s bleeding nose, “It’s just a swollen nose that’s bleeding a bit, she won’t die” “Why dont you give yourself a nose bump and see how it feels?” Marcus retorted angrily, as if he was about to blow a fuse. Dr. Dawson was at a loss for words Cornelia looked at Dr. Dawson sympathetically. The poor guy was dragged into this Dr. Dawson managed to stop Cornelia’s bleeding. He stuffed two pieces of medicated cotton up her nostrils, and applied some swelling reduction cream on her nose, ‘Cornelia, take the cotton out in about half an hour. I used the best anti–swelling cream on your nose, but it might still take a few days to go down. But don’t worry, it’ll be alright in a few days and won’t leave a scar
• Dr. Dawson, I need to keep working, could you slap some ointment on my nose?” Cornelia reckoned that showing up to clients with ointment on her nose was a better look than turning up with a swollen schnor Bam Marcus slammed the file he was holding onto the desk “Going to work with a wound, do you think the Hartley Group can’t function without you? Or do you want people to think Marcus, ama hard ass boss?” Cornelia,” What was up with him? Was he in a bad mood? Or maybe he was all worked up for some reason and couldn’t vent if that was the case, he should go home and chill out with his wife, and not take it out on the innocent folks Dr. Dawson explained. Putting ointment on will slow down the recovery, but the quickest way to recover is to go home and rest.” Cornelia didn’t take her injury too seriously, she chuckled, “It’s okay if the recovery is slow, as long as it doesn’t affect my image too much and doesn’t give the Hartley Group a bad rep Dr. Dawson glanced at Marcus “Ahem, Cornelia, don’t take this lightly just because it’s a minor injury. Even small wounds can get infected. We should take this seriously Cornelia looked a bit helpless, “Dr Dawson “Go home and rest Now Marcus stared at Cornelia, unblinking, Even Skyler herself wasn’t as anxious as Cornelia right now Her nose was swollen, but she was so nonchalant about it, and still thinking about going to work. He really didn’t know whether to praise her or scold her Cornelia sniffled, “Please let me keep working. If I go home with nothing to do, I’ll just keep thinking about my nose and it might hurt even more” She sounded nasal when she spoke, as if she was about to cry Marcus felt his heart soften and unconsciously lowered his voice, 1 have Briana go home with you” Cornelia really didn’t understand why Marcus was being so stubborn. As an employee, she was determined to work, and as a bass he should be delighted, 1 really can keep working” Marcus couldnt understand why Cornelia was so stubborn, “Cornelia, have I been so nice to you that you have forgotten who the boss is?” Cornelia responded, ‘President Hartley, you misunderstand. I’ve always known my place.” Marcus. Then be a good girl and go home” Before she could even start work for the day, Cornelia was forced to head home.
