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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClearly, 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 later, Janine sat with her arms crossed seriously in the Imperial Media’s director’s office. She stared at
the man before her with a suppressive demeanor.
The man had a subtle smile on his chiseled, cold, and handsome face.
“Mom…”
Janine glanced at him and ignored him. She continued to stare at her computer.
Zephyr had only bowed his head to two women in his life. One was his wife, while the other was his mother.
“Mom, my request isn’t too much. Why can’t you say yes?”
“Because I say so!” Janine’s tone was firm.
“But I really want to bring her to the signing ceremony.”
“There are many things in the company that I need her to do!” Janine raised her voice.
He persisted. “Only half a day.”
“Not even half an hour!”
“You’re being unreasonable, mom…”
Janine got up to chase him out before he could finish.
However, due to his size, it took an effort to move him, even though she used to be a taekwondo champion.
She glared at him and thought she had never expected him to become like this when he was young. He was
shameless and stubborn. It was a waste of time to scold him!
“Zephyr, this is my company. Get out!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was unwilling. “Your company? I have shares too!”
She was furious. “Get out! Cordelia is my assistant now. You can’t order my staff as you wish! Do you think I, the
director, am nothing to you!?”
Zephyr looked calm as he had gotten used to his mother’s roars.
However, that shocked Cordelia, who had just come in.
“Madam Baker?” She was stunned.
Janine looked like a kind mother when she saw her walking in.
“Oh… Haha, it’s all good. I was reasoning with Zen!”
Zephyr looked helpless.
“What do you need?”
“Hmm.” Cordelia snapped back to her senses and handed over the documents. “I need your signature on these.”
Janine took over the documents and looked through them quickly. They were all good, so she signed her name at
the bottom.
