Cordelia thought that Zephyr should not be busy since it was near lunchtime, but she had no idea that a terrifying storm had just ended in the meeting room on the other end.
In spite of it, Zephyr’s heart melted listening to the soft and sweet voice. No matter how big a temper he had, it was gone like the wind. He smiled, looking affectionate and indulging.
Cordelia waited for a bit upon hearing there was no sound on the other end and asked nicely, “Are you… busy? Did I interrupt anything?”
“No,” he replied in a low tone.
“Then what are you doing?”
“Do you want to hear the truth?” The man chuckled.
“Of course!”
“Missing you.”
The two words colored Cordelia’s cheeks pink as she clutched her phone.
“What about you?” Zephyr asked as well, “What are you doing?”
“I’m missing you too,” Cordelia said softly.
Zephyr grinned. The ominous cloud that had been fogging him was all gone.
The others in the meeting room looked at Robert with an expression like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight simultaneously. The latter could only keep giving them looks with a helpless expression.
“Have you had lunch?” Cordelia asked softly. “Come home if you haven’t. I bought a lobster. I’ll make you baked lobster risotto.”
Zephyr’s consciousness was already nodding in agreement and abandoning the meeting room full of people to dash home and wait for the meal.
The reality, however…
He was laden with tasks and work in the Hamerton Group and could not even have a moment of peace.
