“Oh…” Cordelia was rather disappointed.
“Mr. Irwin said next time.” Zephyr decided for his father-in-law. “He’ll definitely come and share his thoughts about
keeping cats as pets with mom when he’s ready.”
“Alright.” Cordelia pouted and pulled out her phone, talking to herself in puzzlement, “Even if Uncle Irwin’s not
coming, he should’ve texted me…”
“Maybe he forgot it when he got busy, with old age and all.”
Zephyr suddenly pulled Cordelia into his arms and rubbed her head.
Cordelia could feel the man’s passion, but this was a public space, so she punched him in embarrassment.
“Let go of me…”
“Cordelia.”
“What?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZephyr felt a squeeze in his heart.
He thought of how she walked on the muddy road in the white wedding dress despite the storm, how she was timid
and cautious back when they were in the rundown house, how she agreed to marry in place of Yelena to gather
enough money for her mother’s medical fees, how she wanted to sell his heirloom jewelry when she failed to ask
for her wedding gift yet took it back determinedly in the end…
He hugged her tighter, feeling a pinch on his nose.
He said seriously, “Cordelia, I’ll make it up to you for all the past hardships you’ve gone through.”
“This is so out of the blue!” Cordelia replied in exasperation.
Zephyr smiled and looked at her seriously. He did not know what he was saying either, but he simply felt his heart
ache for her.
Xyla, who was not far away, looked over. She had a slight furrow of brows. Her heartbeat seemed to be on an
unusual rhythm today. Everything seemed off…
…
After the first date failed, Cordelia planned for the second meeting. However, she was busy with work recently, with
lots of petty affairs and pressure, so she dropped the case for the time being.
When she entered Imperial Media that day, Mr. Smith greeted her.
“Morning!” Cordelia smiled. “You’re always so dedicated, Mr. Smith!”
“You flatter me, Ms. Cordelia.” Mr. Smith’s expression was honest and respectful.
“Is Madam Baker not in today?”
“Oh, she’s gone back to Chaiseland on an early morning flight,” explained Mr. Smith. “She has instructed me to
leave you with some tasks.”
Cordelia removed her jacket and changed into the suit jacket she usually wore for work, immediately throwing
herself into work.
Mr. Smith handed a document to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“This is the new film that Imperial Media’s geared to invest in for production.”
Cordelia nodded. The investment was a large sum this time, but data analysis showed that the return would be high
as well. It was just that she had just never seen the director before.
She looked at Mr. Smith in confusion. “Who’s Chad Green?”
Mr. Smith smiled and lowered his voice to tell her, “The director of this film. He’s from Jangasas and hasn’t been
exactly famous. For some reason, he got lucky this year and won an international award, shooting himself to
stardom. Hah, this kind of big production wouldn’t go to someone like him otherwise.”
“What’s someone like him like?” Cordelia was curious.
“He used to shoot… those kinds of films.” Mr. Smith snorted. “Doing things the quasi-legal way and taking
advantage of all the loopholes. Basically, you’ll know what kind of person he is once you meet him, Ms. Cordelia.”
“Alright.” Cordelia smiled. “What do we do now?”
“Prepare for a variety show. It’s to publicize this film too,” answered Mr. Smith. “It’s a celebrity talent show. We’re
doing an open audition for the film.”
