Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 64

The hotels top floor had over a dozen rooms, all set up for this murder mystery game. The event company said it was a real life scenario built according to the script.

After the staff briefly introduced the game rules, everyone drew their characters.

Cornelia became a housewife, while Leonardo got a lawyer, and they acted as a married couple in the script.

Once everyone confirmed their roles. Leonardo walked over to Cornelia, gently patted her shoulder, and said, “Wifey..”

During the role play, everyone had to address each other according to their character Cornelia’s lips moved, but she couldn’t say ‘hubby”

Leonarda told her, Wifey, no worries. When we get back to our room later, you can call me whatever you want, as loud as you want.” As he finished speaking, he fet a chill on his neck.

He looked up to find the source of the chill, and sure enough, he saw Marcus‘ stern gaze.

He smirked provocatively. “Geez, I’m so lucky to have such a gorgeous wife.”

Marcus eyes narrowed, his gaze unfriendly. Leonardo pretended not to notice

Once everyone was assigned a character, they returned to their roorns

Cornelia walked ahead and quickly found her room.

Leonardo purposely lagged, and after everyone else was in their rooms, he grinned at Marcus, ‘Wanna play Cornelia’s hubby?”

Marcus replied. “She’s my assistant.”

Leonardo snatched the script from Marcus hand and handed him his own, “In the script, I can help you, but in real life, who can?”

Marcus took the script and strode towards Cornelia’s room.

Leonardo happily watched his eager steps, “Oh my, my little Marc has finally grown up.”

When Marcus entered the room, Cornelia was engrossed in the script and didn’t look up.

Cornelia had excellent shorthand skills. She read line by line, and quickly memorized the content of several pages.

After finishing the script, she noticed someone else in the room, “Mr. Collins…”

She looked up and saw not Leonardo but Marcus. He wasn’t reading the script but looking at her, “President Hartley, it’s you?”

Marcus replied, “Leonardo took my script.”

Cornelia asked, “Aren’t you going to read the script?”

Marcus answered, 1 already finished.”

Cornelia was speechless.

As expected of Marcus, he started reading the script later but finished earlier than her.

After the awkward conversation, they sat on opposite sides of the room.

Not sure if it was the lack of airflow or feeling uncomfortable alone with Marcus, Cornelia felt unbearably hot and sweaty.

“It’s so hot…” she complained, tugging at her collar to reveal her fair neck.

Marcus glanced at her and felt his mouth dry like a fire burnt near him.

The announcement suddenly came on, “Participants, the game starts now. The door of fortune will only open when you find the murderer.”

Marcus realized something was off. He immediately tried to open the door, but nothing happened. He checked his phone, but there was no signal. “Cornelia…”

“Hmm?” her voice was as usual, but it became soft and enchanting as she spoke, like a deadly poppy flower. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Marcus deeply breathed, “I think someone has drugged us”
