Chapter 121 The Gathering
“Okay.” Cordelia nodded in agreement.
Thus, the two of them entered the private room first. After waiting for about ten minutes, Penny finally walked over with a man. They seemed engrossed in conversation and shared laughter.
“Delia, let me introduce you to Mr. Philip Gage, the owner of Gage Group. Mr. Gage, this is my good friend, Cordelia Youngblood,” Penny said politely.
Philip glanced at Cordelia and uttered, “I’ve read her profile.”
Cordelia quickly stood up and politely shook hands with Philip. “Hello, Mr. Gage. Thank you so much for taking the time to meet me.”
“I’m willing to offer you this opportunity, partially due to Penny’s recommendation and partly because I’ve been closely monitoring your company’s recent activities. Your PR capabilities are quite impressive.”
He had noticed the absence of any negative publicity surrounding Cordelia Group lately, and he attributed it to their remarkable public relations efforts.
Deep down, he still suspected that there was a connection between Cordelia and Osmond.
How else could she, at such a young age, build Cordelia Group into a thriving company in Jadeborough?
Cordelia’s expression changed slightly, but she chose to remain silent.
She was aware that explaining the situation would be a complicated task, especially considering her own lack of understanding regarding why the Chalker family had come forward with the truth.
They took their seats once again, with Penny‘ seated beside Cordelia, holding her hand as she spoke. “Delia, do you remember when you asked me why I split from my ex–boyfriend? Well, the truth is, I initiated the breakup.”
“You initiated the breakup?”
“Yeah!”
Penny let out a soft sigh, her mind drifting as she lost herself in her memories.
She, too, had once been a girl full of romantic aspirations, believing that she could spend a lifetime with her ex–boyfriend. However, after leaving the sheltered confines of the university, she quickly realized that life was far from simple.
