Chapter 343 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Marcus had no clue how the Padilla family had helped his grandpa out, and didn’t really dig into it. Still, he remembered his granny’s words. If they ever needed a hand with something, as long as it wasn’t illegal, he would do his best to help “Take a seat, everyone Marcus sat and Cornelia handed him some documents, with important parts highlighted Got to give it to her, Comelia was a top–notch assistant Ever since she started working with him, things felt much easier. But he also realized, the easier his life got, the harder hers became Before the meeting officially started, Mr. Sharp from Moongazer Tech said, “It’s an honor for Moongazer Tech to collaborate with President Hartley and the Hartley Group We hope for your guidance in the future” Marcus didn’t say much and just kicked off the meeting As usual, Comelia and Ben were on either side of Marcus, doing their respective jobs.
• One handed him documents, the other took down important points from the meeting. Comelia felt like someone was watching her while she was preparing documents for Marcus Looking up, she met Roman’s gaze again. He smiled at her, seemingly saying something without words, Comelia didn’t bother guessing what he was trying to say She just glanced at him and then went back to her work. Today was the first discussion about the collaboration on this project. Mr. Sharp was the first to speak. He introduced the entire project plan, followed by Roman, the project lead It was clear that Roman, being a core member of Moongazer Tech’s tech research team, was a big shot. He talked non stop on the stage, with all the ladies in the audience hooked on his every word But he didn’t pay much attention to other women. His gaze kept falling on Cornelia. During his half–hour speech, he looked her way no less than 10 times. Cornelia noticed, but she was busy taking notes and didn’t have time to deal with him. Unexpectedly, while she was handing Marcus a document, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Do you know that guy?”
• Cornelia shook her head and handed him the documents, “We’re at work, and people are watching. You cant do that.” Her ears turned red when Marcus leaned in, fearing he would kiss her in front of everyone. “Are you worried about that guy seeing, or everyone seeing?” He took the documents from her, his expression instantly cold, looking at her like she was a stranger, as if the one whispering in her ear wasn’t him. This was the kind of professional relationship Cornelia wanted, but why did she feel uncomfortable when he actually treated her like a superior and subordinate? However, Cornelia didn’t have time to overthink. Roman was still explaining some technical stuff on the stage, and these were all new to her.
