Chapter 337 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• “That night you drove me home, I told him that Clair’s bling was a knock–off, and asked him to make it the hot news for the next day. After he posted it, the website traffic went through the roof. He made a good chunk of change and split the earnings with me” Cornelia looked at Marcus, her eyes sparkling. “President Hartley, can you guess how much I made?” So she had spent all that time chatting with that guy just to make a buck. What a money–grubber! Marcus had heard her mention some figures earlier, so he could roughly guess how much she made. But he played along. “Give me a hint ” Comelia spread her arms wide. “A big wad of cash‘ For Marcus, a big wad of cash would mean at least a few hundred million. But for Cornelia, a bit over two hundred grand was indeed a big wad of cash To make her happy. Marcus deliberately guessed low, “Fifty grand?” Comelia shook her head, “Nope. Guess again” Marcus asked, “A hundred grand?” Cornelia said. “You can guess higher” Marcus asked, “Could it be two hundred grand?” “It’s two hundred and fifty grand Cornelia’s eyes and expression were full of joy when she mentioned the money.
• “Do you know what two hundred and fifty grand means to me?” Seeing her happy. Marcus was also happy. I’d love to hear!” Cornelia said with a smile, “It means, I could quit my job at the Hartley Group anytime. I won’t have to slog away at your side anymore” Cornelia was just joking, but Marcus’s face suddenly turned cold. “You want to leave me? Cornelia, we are legally married. You can’t leave me unless I’m six feet under Cornelia didn’t understand why Marcus suddenly became so agitated, she quickly explained, “We’re doing great, why would I want to leave you?” Marcus looked at her, his eyes sharp like X–rays, as if he could see right through her, “You want to leave the Hartley Group, not me? Comelia patiently explained, ‘I don’t have any plans to quit, I was just speculating Being the president’s assistant at the Hartley Group is the best job I’ve found to make ends meet. If I find a job that’s more laid–back and pays better, it’s only natural for me to switch.”
• That was the reality, everyone was striving to find the best job. Marcus said, “Unless you’re quitting to be my wife, forget it.” Being Marcus’s wife, in other words, becoming a housewife. Cornelia had worked hard since childhood, reading books every day for entrance exams, losing lots of hair, just to get into a dream university. After graduating from university, being a housewife was not Cornelia’s dream. She gave a slight smile and said, “Marcus, will you let me finish before you jump to conclusions, okay?” Marcus’s expression was still tense, but he decided to listen to what she had to say. “Go ahead” Cornelia said. “Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to get to your side?” Marcus had no idea.
