“Sleep? Okay!” he answered with a smile. “I’ll sleep with you.”
“Zephyr!” Cordelia huffed at him. “I mean actual sleep, not what you’re thinking…”
“What am I thinking?”
Cordelia stayed quiet. She got tricked by him again.
Zephyr kept an arm around her slim waist.
When a few guys walked past them, he raised his glass with a smile. The action blocked Cordelia just nicely.
Robert continued to sigh as he deeply realized that it was a mistake staying around the two of them! He wondered if he could negotiate with his boss to add another employee benefit—“Girlfriend included”?
‘Sigh…’
A rose-red figure walked over with a champagne flute from afar.
Zephyr was going to leave, but Cordelia tugged him and gave him a look.
It was just Nelly. It was not like she was some monster…
Cordelia pursed her lips and entered battle mode instantly.
“Ms. Tanner!” She greeted her with a radiant smile.
“Oh, you’re here too, Ms. Jenner!” Nelly tipped her chin, maintaining surface courtesy.
Zephyr did not want to talk to Nelly, so he told Cordelia in a low voice, “I have a few friends over there. I’ll introduce them to you.”
“Hey, Zephyr!” Nelly approached him. “Since I ran into you, I have something to discuss with you. It’s about the western suburbs project.”
“What?” Zephyr looked at her coldly.
“Everything’s considered smooth since the project started. There are just two companies that think it’s taking too long. They can’t afford to spend that duration and want to pull out.”
