Cordelia and Zephyr officially made their home in Royal Manor.Although Josiah had everything set up, Cordelia still thought that it only felt right that they decorated their home personally.This was why she roamed the streets of Centrolis and bought plenty of things during the free days after resigning from the news agency and before she reported to Imperial Media.She paid for everything with Zephyr’s card.Zephyr’s phone kept buzzing while he was in meetings, notification after notification of transaction history. He furrowed his brows, but there was an indulging smile in his eyes.‘The purchasing power of his girl… Why did I never realize that she is a shopaholic?’If she kept on shopping like this, his monthly allowance would be in peanuts, or he might end up like Nicholas, who did not even have money for a pack of cigarettes!Zephyr’s heart lurched.The department director who was reporting work-related matters accidentally caught Zephyr’s expression when he looked up an
Zephyr looked down.Cordelia had a standard height among women, but in his presence, she would only reach his shoulder when she stood on tiptoe. He patted her head. A gleam that would only be revealed when he was with her flashed through his eyes.“I wouldn’t have money to spend this month if I didn’t come, right?” he whispered and chuckled.“How could that be possible? I’ve kept it for you!”“Really?”“Mm-hmm… I calculated. You’re covered when it comes to food when you go to work. You don’t have to spend anything. I’ll buy clothes for you. Now that we’re living in Royal Manor, we no longer have to pay rent. Life is much better now than when we were in Jangasas!“Among our daily necessities, we’ll need to spend some on transportation.” Cordelia counted with her fingers. “You drive a manual car, and it saves on gas. I did some calculations. 50 dollars per month should be enough!“So…” She took out a 50-dollar bill and waved it while smiling. She put it in his shirt pocket and pat
“To sign Neil. Did you forget!?”Nicholas was quite worked up. He had sacrificed his dignity to trade this with over 300 lipsticks!“Don’t worry, I remember.” Zephyr chuckled.The former looked at him hesitantly. “Really?”“But I heard that the Imperial Media has been fighting for Neil. I think they’ve contacted him many times.”Zephyr was stunned. Was that not Janine’s company?So, his mother was interested in Neil too.If they were to fight, he could not offend any side.“Perhaps it’s just a rumor,” he said flatly. “I’ll find out for you.”“Hmm, thanks!” Nicholas smiled. It was over 300 lipsticks! He could not let that go to waste no matter what.…When Zephyr returned to Royal Manor, he saw Cordelia making the bed as soon as he entered the room.Her tiny body knelt on the bed, and each move was like a silent seduction attempt.Zephyr was stunned and froze where he was…He took a deep breath and walked to her. Hearing the sound behind her, Cordelia snapped her head back
Stunned, Zephyr turned around to look at Cordelia.Her hair was slightly messy. She looked a little silly when she had just woken up—she was so cute!If he did not have so much work to do at the Hamerton Group, he would like to…“Are you sure you want to bring me food?”Cordelia did not manage to get what he meant, so she nodded seriously.He smirked, revealing a naughty grin.“Sure,” he whispered. “I’ll wait for you at noon.”At noon, he would eat the food she brought him or her.As soon as Zephyr got out, Cordelia began cooking in the kitchen.Helen was cleaning the house, and some fragrance suddenly attracted her. She saw Cordelia making food and putting it in the thermal container.“What did you make, Ms. Jenner?” Helen was curious. “It’s appetizing by smelling it alone. It must be delicious!”Cordelia smiled, scooped a piece of pork rib onto a small plate, and handed it to her.Helen dared not take it at first, and she only tasted it after the former insisted that she
Cordelia nodded and went out immediately.Zephyr had given her a special access card. She could enter any office in the building without having to make an appointment at the front desk.She entered a private elevator with the access card and arrived at the top floor.Just when she was going into his office, she suddenly heard some kind of commotion.“That’s about it. Please look at the report.”She was stunned.‘The voice is familiar. It seems to be that arrogant Ms. Tanner.So, Nelly is in his office?‘No wonder he did not reply to the messages that I sent him on the way here.’Nelly’s voice lowered. “Zen, I’ve prepared the signing ceremony from Feranche this week for you.”Zephyr said nothing.“I’m doing all this for your own good.” She sounded wronged. “I appreciate the opportunity that we’re working together… Zen, do you want me to show you my heart?“Sure, as long as you say yes, I’ll show it to you!”Disgusting!Cordelia took a deep breath. She had absolute confiden
Nelly’s jaw dropped.“What?” Zephyr looked at her coldly. “Didn’t you say you wanted to show me your heart?”“Zen…” Nelly forced a smile.“Do you want me to do it for you?”“No! I mean I can do everything for you.” She felt guilty. “It’s just a… metaphor to say that I can show you my heart. It’s…”Nelly was incoherent. “Zen, don’t you understand what I’m trying to say?”“I’m sorry.” Zephyr chuckled. “My thought process is rather direct. I only understand what people say as it is. I thought you’d really want to show me your heart!”Nelly smiled, “Are you joking with me?”“I never joke with people I don’t know well!”His face was cold. There was a suppressive aura around him.Nelly bit her lip and lifted her eyes to look at him. Her face alternated from flushed and pale.“Y-You’re saying that you still don’t know me well until now?” She said softly, “Grandpa said that he’ll call the shots on our marriage!”Zephyr frowned.At that moment, Cordelia came in. There was a light a
Cordelia lifted her face and said while feeling a little troubled. “I’m afraid I can’t go next week… I’ll start work at Imperial Media tomorrow.”“So soon?”“Yes.” She smiled.After resigning from the news agency, Janine called her many times to get her to work as soon as possible.Although she wanted to rest a little bit more, her career came first. After all, she was eager to become a successful woman, just like Janine.“Hmm… Don’t worry.” Zephyr thought about it. “I’ll tell my mom to give you one day off.”Cordelia frowned. “That’s a terrible idea!”“It’s not.” He chuckled, patted her head, and said, “This banquet is important. You must come.”Clearly, she did not understand why he said it was important.She did not know that she was the owner of the land in the western suburbs. She assumed he meant because Nelly would be there too, while he did not want to show up with Nelly.Cordelia smiled. Her dimples filled all of the happiness that she was feeling.…A few days lat
“What other schedule is there today?”“There’s a talk with two variety show celebrities at 1:00 p.m., an internal company meeting at 2:30 p.m., and a meeting with several important media companies from 3:10 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to reach a collaboration agreement.“There’s also dinner with agents at 7:00 p.m. The hotel is booked at the city center, the top floor revolving restaurant.”Cordelia was well-organized and clear. It had only been days since she started working, but she was meticulous, all-rounded, calm, and composed. Not only was she able to make appropriate arrangements for everything, but she also crafted excellent proposals and was recognized for her skills.Janine smiled in comfort, feeling that she had not chosen the wrong person.Zephyr took a glance at Cordelia and felt bad.She would leave hurriedly in the morning and often would not have time for breakfast. She would also stay up late to rush proposals and wake up with dark eye circles the next day.She could hand
