“What’s wrong?”
“N-Nothing,” Cordelia responded softly.
She secretly peeped at him while eating the spaghetti. She pouted, and her voice was as soft as a
mosquito. “You’re so accurate with the date…”
What did this man have in his head? How did he know that it was the last day of her period?
She flushed even more now. The way she looked at him was shy and full of blame.
Zephyr was confused. He had no idea what had happened, no matter how he thought about it.
She was just eating spaghetti, so why was she blushing?
He coughed softly and lifted his eyes to look at her. He could not hold back his smile. “Seems like
you’ve adapted yourself at the Jenner Group. Did anything good happen?”
Cordelia’s eyes dimmed when she heard that. She put down the utensils lightly.
She recounted what had happened in the past few days, including Yelena stirring trouble with her in the
company lobby.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs he listened quietly, he could imagine how lonely and helpless she was in the Jenner Group.
Although it was a family business, her situation was much tougher than anyone else’s.
However, she must bear it.
She could not be afraid, nor could she surrender.
Not only that, he would always be by her side.
Cordelia said softly, “Hubby, dad talked to me today. He said… he’s getting me to take over the HR
department.”
Zephyr’s eyes lit up.
The HR department was always an important functional department of a company. No one would be
put in the position of managing it if they were not trusted.
However, William’s intention was suspicious.
Zephyr smiled, and a hint of slyness flashed through his eyes as he asked with his deep voice, “Did
you say yes?”
“I rejected him, of course.” The lady’s response was loud and clear.
He knew it. How would his woman be a fool?
“Why?”
Cordelia asked after glancing at him. “The HR and finance departments are the most important
departments in a company. Given my dad’s character, he’d want to look after the people and money
himself.
“He and Joanna have been married for years, while Yelena has been with the company for many years
too, never having had any say in HR and finance. So what makes me deserve that position?”
Zephyr said nothing, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes.
“There are two possibilities.” Cordelia continued to analyze. “He’s either testing me to see if I covet the
Jenner Group or… he’s trying to sow discord between Yelena and me.
“As soon as I agreed, Joanna and Yelena wouldn’t let me go. The more we fight, the happier he is!
“So, I won’t get myself into trouble.” She took a bite of the spaghetti. “At least not now!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZephyr chuckled. He pulled a piece of tissue to wipe the corner of her lips. He had an alluring look on
his face.
His voice was husky as he complimented, “My wife is so smart.”
That came from his heart completely. He had assumed he had married a soft-spoken wife, and never
had he thought Cordelia would surprise him over and over again.
She was not a trumpet vine that needed support but a cotton tree that stood tall with him. Her roots
grew sturdy underground while her leaves touched the sky.
However, the more she was like that, the more he worried about their future.
Cordelia smiled coquettishly at him. There was some pride in her big, beautiful eyes.
“You realized that you married a trophy now, yes?”
Zephyr smiled and remained silent.
He played with her hair. “Wifey, you’re wasting your talent to be working for the Jenner Group when
you’re so smart! Maybe you should be your own boss.”
“I’d love that…” Cordelia sighed and finished the rest of her food. She then lay on the couch while
caressing her bloated belly.
Zephyr smiled as he did the dishes, wiped his hands, and saw her silly face lying on the couch. He
walked over and pulled her softly into his sturdy embrace.
