Cordelia smiled. “Ms. Carmichae, you can call me Ms. Jenner. I’m Zephyr’s partner of the night.”
Michelle snorted and rolled her eyes.
Partner? How could she say something so shameless!?
“Excuse me, Ms. Jenner.” She was pompous in front of Cordelia. “Mr. Zephyr already has a partner. It’s me!”
It felt like something clenched Cordelia’s heart as a faint ache spread throughout her limbs.
Zephyr, oh Zephyr! It seemed that the dozen unsent messages earlier were most likely to tell her that his
unforgettable love was also there tonight.
Cordelia took a deep breath and felt her temples throb.
When she got Michelle’s information, she used to picture many scenarios of their meeting. She had even rehearsed
what she should say with what expression and what action.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they actually met now, though, it was an entirely different case.
The corners of Cordelia’s lips twitched. She kept reminding herself that she must not lose her cool here. She had to
settle this unforgettable love first and then take care of Terrible Two Z at home!
“What did you say, Ms. Carmichael?” Cordelia looked at her indifferently. “Zephyr’s asked you to be his partner for
tonight?”
“Exactly!”
“Oh, yes, that’s right! We all heard it!”
The female celebrities who were watching the show from the side quickly butted in, wanting to take the opportunity
to make fun of the clueless singer.
“Ms. Jenner, you don’t know Michelle yet, right? Hah, she signed with Sol Entertainment not too long ago and is the
candidate for the best potential singer in this year’s singing award show!”
“Yeah, even Mr. Zephyr sees her differently!”
“Ms. Jenner, you really don’t know who you’re talking to!”
Cordelia looked at them in surprise.
She was in charge of these artists, and they got along well. From what she understood of them, they were not the
kind of people to conspire against her.
In addition to their odd tone and smirks… she was suddenly struck with a realization.
The show business teemed with loaded compliments. Singing praises openly with stabs at the back and boosting
one up before letting them plunge were effective tactics of these female artists.
Obviously, this unforgettable love was not familiar with the entertainment industry’s rules.
The women chorused each other, and Michelle was close to forgetting herself from the praises. She glanced at
Cordelia triumphantly and wore an arrogant smirk.

make him unhappy, or no one can bear the consequences!”
“Yeah!” The award-winning actress who Michelle had stopped earlier had been watching all along. Now that the
drama was getting to its climax, she would feel sorry for her peers’ build-up if she did not add fuel to the fire.
“Ms. Jenner, it’s best you know your place! Hah, you should hurry and give our rising award-winning best singer a
toast.”
The female celebrities could no longer hold themselves back and cackled without a care for their image. The
award-winning actress, on the other hand, looked at Michelle mockingly.
Michelle was the only one who could not discern that she was being mocked and was still feeling victorious.
A deep and stern voice pierced in like a sword all of a sudden.
“Who’s so high and mighty that my wife has to give her a toast?”
The crowd quieted down instantly.
Cordelia saw Michelle’s smile freeze on her face just as she was going to Zephyr in anticipation.
Then, a strong arm pulled Cordelia in, and all she could smell was the man’s usual aftershave. The smell both
enchanted her and assured her.
