Chapter 8 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• A phone call late at night interrupted Cornelia's peaceful dreams. She groggily retrieved the cell phone and saw "Marcus" on the screen, which immediately woke her awake. Cornelia woke up and said, "Hello, President Hartley!" A mysterious stranger said, "Your President Hartley is drunk; come to Rainbow Club and pick him up." "Who are you?" Alexander should be spending time with his spouse right now. How could he have gotten intoxicated at the Shimmer Club? Who was this unidentified individual calling from his phone? "I'm Leonardo Wilson; for example, hurry out and get over here." The other side hung up after responding. Cornelia recognized Leonardo as Marcus' buddy, and the family he came from was one of Riverton's four prominent families.
• It was Cornelia's responsibility to pick up Alexander if he was inebriated. Cornelia hastily changed into her task clothes and raced to the Shimmer Club via cab. Shimmer Club was Riverton's most prestigious membership club and was not available to the general public. Leonardo had previously alerted the staff, and as soon as Comelia stepped out of the car, someone met her and led her toward her private room. "Miss, they're inside." Cornelia welcomed the staff and walked on the door, where she saw two individuals drinking around the couch and Marcus standing alone in the other direction, smoking a barely completed cigarette. Leonardo laughed. "Well, if you don't have a companion, I might as well be your boyfriend." "Sorry! I am uninterested in you.
• Cornelia disliked these selfish, affluent youngsters who pursued every female they met. If he wasn't Marcus' buddy, she wouldn't bother with him. Leonardo didn't appear to mind being rejected so simply, instead laughing: "So you're not intrigued by me; are you attracted to Marc then?" Cornelia was concerned that Marcus would misinterpret the situation and jeopardize her employment. She sent a subconscious glance at Marcus, but he was just smoking and didn't appear to notice her presence. Leonardo chuckled. "You are not screaming, no, so I estimated, right?" "Mr. Wilson, for example, do you not understand how to respect people?" Individuals like him were overly egotistical, believing that all ladies would be drawn to wealthy children like themselves.
