The signing ceremony was not big in size, but those who attended had business relationships with Zephyr and were
of high status.
The western suburbs land project involved the interests of various parties. The signing ceremony this time was
mainly agreements among a few subcontractors and design firms. These contracts required Cordelia’s signature to
be effective.
Cordelia was in the restroom. Those who did her makeup were chief artists of top international cosmetic brands. As
for the clothing rack that the assistant wheeled over, a few haute couture gowns glittered like fairy dresses. They
were specially tailored for her, and there was only one of each in the world.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe stylists were discussing which dress Cordelia’s makeup look should go with while she was wielding a signing pen
and signing her name seriously on a few documents.
Zephyr came in with a knock on the door. He could not help adoring her, looking at her earnest look. He went over
to sit next to her and waved at the stylists. The latter dismissed themselves.
They were the only two people in the room now.
“All done.” Cordelia passed him the contracts.
“Mm.” Zephyr took them and looked at her gently. “Do you know what these are?”
“Yeah. I’ve gone through every line. All good!”
Zephyr grinned. He had actually read these agreements a long time ago, making sure that nothing was wrong
before he let her sign them. It was just that this detail-oriented girl had read through them again—so fast, too.
It seemed that she was far smarter than he had imagined.
“I just don’t quite understand…” Cordelia frowned. “Isn’t this your company’s project? Why are you letting me sign
them?”
“Because…” He thought about it and said, “Profits and risks coexist in each project, and I’m letting you sign to
share the profit with you. I also hope that… if there’s a risk, you’ll stand next to me and face it with me.”
“Mm, of course!” Cordelia nodded and held his arm with a clear gaze. Her alert and endearing look felt like a fairy
that fell into the human world.
Zephyr stroked her face with a full heart and called the stylists back in to pick out her clothes.
“I’ll go socialize in front.” He smiled at her. “Come meet me after you get changed.”
“Okay!” Cordelia agreed with a beam.

and turned around only to see Nelly’s vicious gaze.
Nelly snickered. “Ms. Jenner, I’m not interrupting, am I?”
Cordelia remained silent and checked herself in the mirror.
“I think this dress doesn’t quite match you.” Nelly waved, and her servant brought the stylists out.
The door closed with a thud.
Cordelia straightened up and looked at her alertly, inching to the door.
“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you.” Nelly was arrogant as usual. “This is a signing ceremony I planned. Even if
I wanted to do anything to you, I wouldn’t do it on my own turf!”
“Then what do you want?”
