“Really?” Cordelia was excited. “They’re promoting their anniversary, but we’re the ones who got
lucky!”
“Yeah.” Marcus smiled. He was content as long as she was happy.
“Darling, I realize that my luck’s been great ever since I married you. Everything’s going so
unexpectedly smoothly!” Cordelia stood on tiptoe and held Marcus’ face to peck his lips.
“You’re my lucky little charm, baby!”
It caught Marcus by surprise. He swiped her nose and chuckled.
“Go ahead and have breakfast first,” he said in a deep tone. “I’ll go to the washroom and join you later.”
“Oh.” Cordelia did not think much about it. “I’ll go look for Linda and Seth first. Come meet us soon!”
“Sure.”
As Cordelia skipped out of the room, a dark glint flashed across Marcus’ eyes. He picked up the

“Sir, Ms. Cordelia was at the beach, and we kept watch from afar, not daring to go close. She returned
later, and it was at the trash can by the road that…” Marcus’ subordinate sounded hesitant.
“Speak!” Marcus growled with a hint of anger.
“She encountered a homeless guy there.”
A homeless guy? Marcus tensed. Was she taken advantage of?
“The homeless guy didn’t do anything to Ms. Cordelia, but she stared in his direction after he left,
standing there for more than ten minutes.”
‘She might have been frightened.’ This was the first thought that went through Marcus’ head.
However, he recalled the thugs that had teased her when they first got married and Cordelia fighting
them with a stick. There was also that time she choked the driver and jumped out of the car when she
thought that Josiah had an ulterior motive after the business dinner, nearly killing herself.
How could a brave and resilient woman like her be frightened by a homeless guy? There must be
another reason!
Marcus narrowed his eyes and uncurled his pressed lips slowly. “Talk to the police. Get the surveillance
recording of that area and find out who that homeless guy is!”
…
A week’s trip ended in the blink of an eye.
The group had a lot of fun, but they had to go back to their daily routines when they returned to
Jangasas.
Cordelia took two days before she finally completed the accumulated work she had.
“Looks like one can’t really take a break…” she lamented as she browsed the report. “All the mind
thinks about is fun once there’s a break, and there’s no mood to work!”
“I’ll get you something interesting to do then, okay?”

Cordelia looked up to see Annie guiding Seth in.
“I’ve heard Marcus say that you’re a busy person,” Seth said with a smile. “Now that I see you, I
actually feel like you’re different from how you usually are!”
“Really?” Cordelia beamed. “What am I like usually, and what am I like today?”
“You cling to Marcus usually, but today, you’re like a successful CEO!”
Cordelia giggled heartily. She invited Seth to have a seat and personally made him coffee.
Seth looked at her. “Cordelia, who knows? You might actually become a CEO in the future. You look
like one!”
“CEO? Alright, stop making me embarrassed. I’d be thankful to keep this job!”
“Hah, I almost forgot what I’m here for.” Seth took out a stack of photos. “I’m here today to bring you
this!”
Cordelia took the photos and looked at them closely, her eyes reddening.
