The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 87

On their way home from work, Cordelia let Ronan in on the tough decision she was facing.

"I've already submitted my resume to the Audit Department; Wyatt kept it, and I'm taking the written test this Friday." Cordelia was now feeling a bit smug. She felt her move was bold, but she got what she wanted.

"Wait, you?" Ronan seemed taken aback.

"Yes, me." Cordelia replied. "Jordan's offer was also pretty tempting."

"Did you tell him I was the one who translated your resume?" Ronan asked calmly.

"No. I didn't want anyone to think I got it through connections." Cordelia explained.

"Well, at least you didn't use the name ‘Ronan.’"

Cordelia sensed a hidden meaning in Ronan's words. Her German resume had his other name, Ethan, written on it. What did this have to do with the name Ronan? Did he somehow know that she had called him by his name at lunch?

How did he find out? How did he know everything?

"Seems like getting rejected by the HR department didn't dent your confidence." Ronan said casually.

"Yes, I've always wanted to work in auditing. I won't stop until I reach my goal." Cordelia replied, clenching her fist.

He casually pulled out a book from the car. It had a belly band and was still wrapped in plastic, looking really high-end.

"I got you a book." He said.

Cordelia was puzzled but gasped when she saw "Written by Ronan" on the belly band.

"You wrote a book?" Cordelia asked, looking surprised.

"What? Did someone else write a book?" Ronan feigned ignorance.

Cordelia caught on and almost blurted out something she shouldn’t have. "No! No one."

"Yes, that employee from our Finance Department. She left quite an impression. Quick to react, logical, clear-headed, and very professional."

Ronan felt a strange sense of pride. He coughed lightly. "You might not know this, but she is my wife."

He hoped Wyatt would take care of Cordelia, given her recent good performance and the lack of contact with Jamie. Also, Jordan from the Finance Department was just not competent enough to nurture talents.

Wyatt was shocked. He just commented that Mr. Evans' wife was very low-key and competent for delivering her resume in person.

"But Ronan, you are not doing so well. Cordelia told me you guys are not planning to have kids in the next five years. It's your problem, isn't it?" Wyatt joked.

"Did she say that?" Ronan frowned at Wyatt.

"Yes, she seemed very determined."

"She can't make that decision on her own!" Ronan retorted.
