Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 688

Chapter 688

Were they really in that much of a hurry? Couldn’t they even wait to take an extra step?

The office door wasn’t even closed. Weren’t they afraid of being seen by others?

While Ben was internally criticizing the shameless couple, he also had to considerately close the door for them,

making it easier for them to do whatever they were up to in the office.

Thank God the CEO’s office was soundproof, otherwise keeping it a secret would be tough. Especially with so many

people working in the secretariat who could potentially pass by the CEO’s office.

Normally, for a man like Marcus of high status, getting a woman was as easy as pie, and no one would dare to

backbite. Many of these big shots like Marcus had lovers outside, and their wives at home knew and didn’t mind.

Maybe they did mind, but felt they couldn’t control it, so they stoped trying.

Even if Marcus was married, being with his personal assistant wouldn’t affect him. And those who knew would only

compliment him as a casanova, a lucky guy.

But this affair was a whole different story for Cornelia. Once others found out about their private relationship

beyond work and it spread, Cornelia would become the immoral person in everyone’s mouth. She would be

accused of betrayal, of seducing a married man.

If this label stuck to Cornelia, and the CEO’s wife started causing trouble, Marcus might stop protecting Cornelia.

Without anyone to protect her, Cornelia would be like an abandoned person. Then, Cornelia would have no choice

but to leave the Hartley Group..

Even though Ben disapproved of Cornelia’s immoral actions, he still wanted to protect her. He didn’t want to see

such a good work partner leave in the worst possible way.

He thought, when he got the chance, he must have a good talk with her. He needed to urge her to turn back before

making a bigger mistake, to cut off the ambiguous relationship with Marcus asap, and to pretend nothing ever

happened. There was still time.

Just as Ben was deep in thought, a gentle female voice sounded behind him, “Ben, what are you doing standing

here? Playing doorman?”

Ben instinctively turned back to check the CEO’s office door. Seeing it was properly closed, he then looked at

Yolanda at ease, “Just thinking. What brings you here? Looking for Cornelia?”

Yolanda tilted her head slightly, looking at the big door behind him, and said in a low voice, “When did Cornelia and

President Hartley start being together?”

They should have closed the door first. Now they had been seen.

Feeling cold sweat on his forehead, Ben had to put on a serious face, “Don’t talk nonsense! President Hartley and

Cornelia are discussing work. You shouldn’t slander them. And he is not someone you can slander.”

Yolanda chuckled lightly, “Whether I’m slandering them, you should know very well.”

Ben knew very well, and that was why he explained so much. Normally, he only needed to say one sentence to

drive Yolanda away.

He pondered for a moment, then continued, “Cornelia doesn’t have many close colleagues in the company, and

only you and her are the closest. It doesn’t matter if others accuse her, but you better not. I think, before you

accuse her, you should at least find an opportunity to talk to her alone, to understand the ins and outs of the

matter.”
