“What is it?” Cordelia was surprised.
Zephyr held her hand gently.
“You have to end your marriage with Marcus Grist right away.” He looked at her. “You don’t have to worry about this. I know how to go about it.
“There’s one more thing…” He smiled. “Please take over the project on the western suburbs of Centrolis, Ms. Cordelia Jenner. Let the land unleash higher commercial value!”
“What?” Cordelia shook her head quickly. “No way, I don’t know anything!”
“No one knows everything naturally,” Zephyr said softly. “Learn while you’re at it. You’ll grow fast.”
“But—”
He said clearly, “Cordelia, you can do it.”
Cordelia bit her lips and looked down.
It felt strange. Perhaps it was her inferiority complex. She felt like this was what he bestowed.
In spite of it, when he was not yet Zephyr, she had not felt this way at all, even when he gave her the family heirloom, his salary bankcard, the cafe…
Cordelia quietly pulled her hand out of his with a sullen look.
“Cordelia, I don’t mean anything else…” Zephyr noticed that she did not look quite right and was going to explain it when his phone rang.
Cordelia took a glance at him and got up to take care of Xyla back in the room.
Zephyr picked it up. Nicholas was on the other end of the line. “I got you the people you wanted. They’re at my place.”
“Mm, thanks,” Zephyr replied in a deep tone.
“Right. Do these people have grudges against you?” Nicholas snickered. “What do you want to do to them? I have all sorts of torture devices here. Should I carry on for you first?”
