The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 162

When Ronan entered the office, Emerson was already waiting for him. With the year's end around the corner, Emerson just got started, and he'd got a lot on his plate.

"Ronan, what's up with your mouth? Did Cordelia bite you? Did you two have a big fight last night?" Emerson teased Ronan.

Ronan was aware of the mark on his mouth since he woke up this morning.

"Not just the mouth, right? Got some on your body too?" Emerson continued to tease him. "Cordelia is really something. But with what happened yesterday, you should be the one pissed off, right? How come she's the one who's mad?"

"How do you know she doesn't have any?" Ronan shot back.

Emerson scratched his head. "I didn't see, nor did I hear. But I heard your quarrel."

"Got anything to say? Spit it out." Ronan switched back to business.

He walked to his desk, put down his stuff, took out a cigarette, and lit it. Emerson opened the file and reported the work situation to him.

After Ronan proposed a few changes, Emerson went back to his office. There was a knock on the door again.

"Come in," said Ronan.

In came Samantha.

Ronan met her yesterday and knew she was Cordelia's cousin. But he didn't know her name. "You're Cordelia's cousin, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Evans." Samantha puffed up her chest, looking resolute. She was hopeful, thinking, “If Ronan breaks up with Cordelia and starts a relationship with her, maybe, just maybe, they could develop feelings for each other.”

Ronan, he was really handsome. The kind of handsome that made a woman lose her mind!

"Can I help you with something?"
