The days went by without anything out of the ordinary occurring… Until one day, when every article and news piece was reporting about John Levine and Jessica Stuart's grand wedding.
Just three more days? That was quick.
Nonetheless, Cordy put away her phone and rose to her feet, leaving her office for another meeting just then.
The four bodyguards Patrick arranged for her followed her as if it was natural. They really did stick with her ever since Patrick sent them—save for when she went to the ladies room or was changing clothes.
Neither she nor her employees were used to it at first, but she eventually got used to it.
During the meeting, Noel kept calling her, but Cordy simply rejected every call and muted her phone.
After all, she knew all too well the only reason Noel would call her now was to gloat since in the end, Jessica Stuart was the one who would be with John Levine.
And since Noel was now Jessica's lapdog…
But if Cordy were to be honest, she had no idea how long Noel would survive on that path. After all, Noel would die horribly once she had served her purpose.

Over at Sachs Enterprises, Noel was fuming as she stared at her phone.
How dare Cordy refuse her calls!
But there was no doubt about it—she wanted to gloat!
After all, it was Cordy who kept strutting, only to end up losing so thoroughly!
Noel lowered her phone; she was actually still in a good mood, even if she couldn’t gloat at Cordy.
She was there, sitting in her grand, spacious office without having to suffer anyone else.
She never felt as amazing as she did now. The feeling only got more cathartic whenever she saw the terrible look on her own family's face.
