Cordelia stuck her tongue out with crescent eyes. She paid him no mind and went on the street. They were close to
Imperial Media and only had to walk across a street, so she hurried off to the company.
Zephyr stood for a bit under the building.
Robert called to tell him, “Sir, don’t you know what Madam Baker’s like at work? She forbids her employees’
personal relationships to interfere with work!
“If you announce your relationship with Ms. Cordelia in the company, it’ll cause a lot of trouble!”
Zephyr was impatient. “What trouble could there be?”
“Like.. the artists under her will learn from her and start dating. How could they attend to their schedules without
being distracted?”
Zephyr scowled. “So, I have to act like I don’t know my wife?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRobert chuckled dryly. “It’s what your mother says anyway.”
Zephyr hung up directly. He could not do it? Well, he insisted!
Despite that, he was stopped at the reception just as he stepped into Imperial Media. It was a new company, and
Janine had already changed the staff.
Other than the manager, Mr. Smith, no employee in this company knew who he was.
Therefore…
“Sir, who are you looking for?”
“Do you have an appointment?”
“Ms. Cordelia? She’s busy, sir. She won’t have the time to meet you!”
“Mister, please leave now. Don’t disturb our work, okay? Or I’ll get the security!”
“Hah, he must be fantasizing. Ms. Cordelia’s pretty and nice, and capable. Talented young men who are after her
could make a line from here to Puarvis! This guy… drives a lousy car, and he wants to date her?”
Zephyr nearly erupted in rage.
Lousy car? This was what Ms. Cordelia bought him! Only for him!
…
Cordelia returned to Royal Manor after work.
She had heard from the reception that someone was there for her today, and according to the description, she
could guess right off the bat that it was Zephyr. It was just that the receptionist did not know him and chased him
away.
Cordelia winced at that. This was why she finished work early and hurried back to appease Zephyr’s resentful, hurt
soul…
He was used to being the boss, and it had always been his subordinates who stopped others from coming to him—
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnever others who stopped him. He must be infuriated.
Cordelia thought and felt bad for him, but she also found it amusing. She hurried her way home only to discover
that the spacious Royal Manor was empty. No one was home.
The fat tabby cat stuck its head out from its bed and bounded to rub against her once it saw her.
“Ginger!” Cordelia picked it up and smiled. “It’s just you at home? Where did everyone go?
“Has Aunt Helen fed you today?”
Ginger’s bow was empty.
Cordelia frowned and felt strange. Helen usually took good care of Ginger when she was not home. Why had she
not even fed it today? Zephyr, too. Where was he?
She went inside. It looked like no one came in at all for the day. The half pot of soup from the morning was still on
the stove and had gone stale.
She called out, but no one responded. When she called Zephyr and Helen on the phone, no one answered either.
