Helpless, Cordelia could only wrap her arms around his neck and kiss his lips deeply.
Although Zephyr was not quite satisfied, he let her go with a smile.
“You don’t have to make breakfast,” Cordelia said softly. “Aunt Helen’s probably grocery shopping at this hour and
will be back soon! She’s speedy and will be done preparing breakfast in a while.
“Right, she said to finish this soup first before breakfast!”
Cordelia stretched her hand for the bowl of soup as she spoke.
A thought flashed in Zephyr’s mind, and he abruptly placed the soup on the side.
It stunned Cordelia, and she stared at him. “You… What’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing.” He recovered. “The soup’s gone cold. Don’t drink it.”
“Hasn’t Aunt Helen been keeping it warm?”

tiring for her to take care of the house chores and to cook.”
Cordelia blinked. The man’s sternness confused her.
“If you want to eat at home, I’ll get the hotel to deliver the meals.”
Cordelia wanted to ask him about it but could not get anything out.
Zephyr asked her to get changed and took her to Splendor Dynasty for breakfast. He knew that he might be too
paranoid. What could it imply just because the tabby cat refused to drink the soup? Helen’s loyalty to Cordelia and
devotion to the two of them were evident.
He did not want to assume the worst… but he would rather wrongly blame a whole lot than miss one out!
“Zephyr, what’s the matter?”
He looked up to see Cordelia staring at him.
“You don’t look too good. Are you feeling ill?”
Zephyr shook his head with a smile.
“You’ve been acting weird since this morning,” Cordelia murmured softly, smiling at him and grabbing his face. “Are
you upset that I’m going to work later?”
Zephyr held her hands and pressed her palms against his face. Were it possible, of course, he did not want her to
go to work.
Janine was infamous for being a true capitalist. She worked women like men, and men like animals… Why should
Cordelia suffer like that? She could just wait for him at home, and they could…
Zephyr suddenly felt the hands slipping from his grasp. When he realized it, Cordelia had already stood up.
“I need to hurry to work now!” She grinned. “Aren’t you going to the office today?”
“I’m slacking today. I don’t feel like going.” He got up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“No!” He refused right away.
Zephyr narrowed his eyes and smirked.
“Cordelia, I… will go to work with you. What do you think?”
“Huh?” Cordelia startled. “Why?”
Why? He was the second-largest shareholder in the company! He had just 1% less in shares compared to Janine!
What was the problem that he went to check his company out?
Was Janine all this girl could see? There was no place for him anymore?
Cordelia watched as Zephyr’s expression kept changing and could not figure him out, but she did not want to upset
him. She smiled and held his hand to pacify him like a child.
“Okay, I’ll take you to work today! But you have to be good in the office and not disturb my work!”
Zephyr arched his brow. “What? I have to act like I don’t know you?”
