Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 42

Not only did Linda’s expression change but the way she looked at Cordelia did as well. She genuinely did not think of this! If she were Michael, she would take it personally, too. After all, she was no saintess.

“Looks like I still lack the most basic judgment of people!” Linda chuckled. “Cordelia, I didn’t expect you to be so sound in logic when you’re always so quiet!”

“My judgment might not be right either.” Cordelia chortled. “But Marcus told me that I can’t not keep my guard up. He’s asked me to keep an eye out for whatever I do.

“He also said that those who are in higher ranks had a tough time climbing up there, so they aren’t as simple as they seem.”

“Oh, your husband became your mentor now, huh?”

It was supposed to be a tease from Linda, but Cordelia could not stop showing off her husband.

“Of course! Marcus knows a lot!” Cordelia could not hide how pleased she was. “Linda, I always see him browsing foreign sites, you know? He knows several foreign languages and keeps up with politics and economy!”

“What?” Linda found it unbelievable as well.

When she met Marcus earlier, she would have actually assumed that he was some impressive figure judging by the powerful presence and pressure he exuded if she had been unaware that he had gone behind bars for fighting.

“Cordelia, how much do you know about your husband?”

Cordelia jolted. “Why are you asking this?”

Linda chuckled. “Just chatting. I’m curious about him when you make him sound so amazing!”

Cordelia giggled without much thought but speaking of which, she did not know Marcus much. Other than his “glorious past” and that he had no family, she knew nothing more.

The next day…

When Cordelia went to work, Michael called her into his office.

Cordelia was on pins and needles, but Michael smiled at her warmly and even asked his secretary to make her coffee as he sat across her watching her in silence.

“So, you’re Cordelia.” Michael chuckled. “I’ve heard that there’s a talented individual in the sales department, sealing the deal with Mr. Sean within her second month in the company, and I’ve always wanted to meet you. My wish is finally fulfilled today!”

“You’ve flattered me, Mr. Johnson.” Cordelia placed her coffee down and remained composed. “You can actually see me anytime, Mr. Johnson. But you’re usually busy, and my sales aren't actually outstanding in the department.”

Michael squinted and studied her from head to toe again.

Cordelia was not just a pretty face—she knew how to talk. With just a few words, she managed to take care of his ego and keep a low profile about her merit. She was truly a talented individual. It was no wonder that his niece was so against her.
