Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 332

“Why are you glaring at me?” Cordelia was exasperated by how he looked.

“Cordelia, you…”

Zephyr did not know how to continue his sentence. Should his tone be hard or soft? Should he act tough or negotiate with her? How was he supposed to be more indirect when he talked to her, and how should he mull over his word choice…

Zephyr pursed his lips, and his originally cold face looked darker.

“Alright, I know what you want to say.” Cordelia smiled and intertwined their fingers together as she looked at him innocently.

“This is your mom’s instruction. To sign Neil to our company no matter what. We have to agree no matter how harsh his conditions are.”

“Why?” Zephyr suddenly raised his voice.

Cordelia was startled and stared at him dumbly.

Zephyr coughed. “I mean… There isn’t just one award-winning actor in showbiz. Why must it be him?”

If it were possible, he would chase Neil out of the entertainment industry!

“Yeah, there are plenty of award-winning actors, but one who can act, has popularity, and has a huge amount of fans… There’s only him!”

Zephyr really wanted to roll his eyes.

“Before the company became Imperial Media, it hadn't been doing much. It was under the Hamerton Group, but it wasn’t managed to its potential,” Cordelia said softly. “Imperial Media’s just starting to come up now, but it’s no rival against its peers…

“So we really need someone significant to represent the company!”

Zephyr stayed silent.

Cordelia knew that this meant he was angry but was holding it in.

Her voice was very soft. “Zephyr, I’m meeting Neil for work. You wouldn’t be so petty, right?”

She regretted it a little as soon as she spoke.

What did she mean by saying he was petty? If she put herself in his shoes, she might be pettier if Zephyr told her that he would eat with Nelly for work tomorrow. She would also be jealous and possibly shove or pinch him.

What about him? He was just simmering in anger and could not even bear to talk to her any louder.

Cordelia beamed in bliss and cuddled him, wrapping her arms around him and clinging to him like an octopus.

Zephyr gave in the moment she acted like this. He reached out to poke her head but was worried he would hurt her and ended up swiping her nose.

“Don’t worry. I’m not that petty.” He smiled. What he meant was: “Go ahead. I’ll send someone to follow you.”

“Where are you meeting? I can set it up for you.”

That meant: “I have to know your whereabouts.”

Cordelia grinned and told him an address honestly.

‘They are going to meet at Splendor Dynasty?’ Zephyr nodded. He did not even have to do this on his own.

“Don’t worry. I’ll inform the hotel manager and ask for the best arrangement.” Zephyr smiled. “I’m a shareholder in Imperial Media too. I should do what I can.”

That was more like: “If Neil dares have any ulterior thoughts, I’ll do my best to make him disappear from the entertainment industry.”

Cordelia looked at him with a pure gaze. To her, Zephyr was graceful and generous, knowledgeable with an open heart, not simply jealous, and would recover being rational even when he did get jealous—basically a perfect man who trusted her 100%.

“Honey…” Her voice was soft. “Why are you so nice?”

He rubbed her hair and chuckled.
