Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 388

Cordelia smiled and answered directly, “Zephyr Hamerton.”

Neil had long expected this answer, but Cordelia’s frankness surprised him. He did not expect Zephyr to have such a high status to her that she did not even feign courtesy and blurted it so straightforwardly.

Shane looked around and stepped up to break the awkwardness with a chuckle.

“Uh… Neil, take a look at the script first. You’ll be the first to audition when Ms. Lulham is here!

“Ms. Cordelia, take a break too! Neil asked me to bring some snacks. Have a try…”

The few of them found somewhere close to the window where the sunlight spilled in, and they basked in it. The scenery outside was the picturesque fall.

Shane made coffee and brought them over, the room immediately wafting with the aroma. Neil pulled a pretty lunchbox out of his bag. It was a dark-colored wooden box with intricate and repeated patterns carved on it…

Cordelia was stunned and nearly doubted if her eyes played a trick on her. The box that her mother had given her seemed to have this pattern as well.

“Is it pretty?” Neil chortled. “This pattern is common in Southeast Aciatic.”

“Oh.” Cordelia nodded in confusion.

“I told you that I’m from Mengasas. It’s close to Southeast Aciatic, so our food and culture are influenced as well.”

As Neil spoke, he retrieved a small plate of cake and placed it in front of Cordelia.

“Have a taste!”

Cordelia snapped out of her reverie.

The small dish of the cake was intricate. Its emerald color and semi-opaque transparency made it look like a piece of art.

“This is…” Cordelia was delightfully surprised. This was one of the cakes her mother had made her when she was younger!

“You know this?” Neil asked softly, “This is Ejada, a specialty from Southeast Aciatic.”

“Specialty from Southeast Aciatic?”

Cordelia recalled the time when she took her mother to the art exhibition, and Xyla bought a scarf. She had said that the embroidery and pattern were rarely seen in Centrolis and were only available in Southeast Aciatic.
