“Oh…” Cordelia nodded. She was a little disappointed, but work was more important. “Alright, come over at night if you’re free then.”
“Sure.” Zephyr stroked her hair. “I’ll carry these back for you.”
“It’s fine! It’s just lobster and some vegetables. I can do it myself. Besides, we have a guest. I might only be able to go back a bit later.”
“A guest?” Zephyr paused. Cordelia’s mother rarely interacted with people. How did she suddenly have a guest?
“Mm. It’s my mom’s best friend from last time,” Cordelia said with a smile. “An elegant middle-aged woman.”
Zephyr nodded without thinking much of it. He held her shoulders and looked at her. “Cordelia, I plan to… arrange for you and my mom to meet.”
Cordelia’s heart went right up to her throat.
“Don’t worry.” Zephyr said gently, “I’ll handle your relationship with her in the most appropriate way. I won’t put you in a tough spot.”
Cordelia was saddened. “I’m the one who put you in a tough spot…”
“That’s silly of you to say!” Zephyr rubbed her head with a chuckle. “It’s Josiah’s parents’ 30th anniversary this weekend. The Hamertons will definitely attend, and my mom will also be there as she’s been close to Josiah’s parents.
“Go with me, Cordelia. I want everyone to know you!”
…
Janine could hardly forget about the little princess after she went back. She was determined to make Cordelia her daughter-in-law.
She had heard Xyla say that the princess worked in a news agency and that she was going to the financial center today to interview some investment elite who came back from Wahl Street.
Therefore, Janine drove there without her assistant.
…
Cordelia had been waiting for close to two hours at the door of the financial center. Even though her back and legs hurt, she dared not slack. The meeting at the hub was ending soon. She made the best of these last ten minutes or so to run through her interview outline again.
The meeting room door opened suddenly, and a few reporters had already run over.
