Chapter 186
The ocean was right outside the window, and its waves were splashing over it.
If Cordy’s hunch was right, the building they were staying in was built right above the ocean.
After she and John took their seats, gourmet dishes were served one after the other.
They were also each given a glass of bright red wine, and the sight of all the expensive food definitely made Cordy hungry.
“Eat,” John said mildly.
Cordy certainly did not hold back, and she picked up her fork to start eating.
Perhaps famished, they both kept their heads down and ate for over half an hour until they felt a little full. Cordy then asked, “How long will we be staying here?”
John responded with another question. “How many days would you like to spend here, Ms. Sachs? 1
“Would anything I say mean a thing?” Cordy grumbled.
John could not help chuckling and commented, “You’re getting smarter, Ms. Sachs.”
Cordy was left speechless while he said, “Probably a week.”
Probably?
Cordy frowned.
“What if you can’t bear to leave?” John joked.
“I haven’t made any arrangements for my absence from work, and North City Channel will be commencing their partnership with Starstream Fashion after I won Solo Show. Who will handle the negotiations in my absence?” Cordy said, a little irritated as she spoke.
“Randy will handle it,” John said, as if it was only natural. “Don’t worry.”
Cordy was left staring at him while he continued bluntly, “All you have to do now is enjoy yourself for a week.”
Cordy decided that she stood no chance of negotiating anything at that point.
After dinner, she went over the couch and started fiddling with her phone.
