The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 170

Lumos Enterprises began operating after Christmas.

Finally, work had begun. For Cordelia, staying at home was even more exhausting than working, with Ronan wearing her out every day.

On her first day at work, she received a massive gift package. It contained a high-end watch that every accountant needed, which could remind her about VAT issues, and a calculator that was way more advanced than the typical ones since it could do function calculations. There was also a handwriting board designed specifically for finance work.

Cordelia couldn't keep her hands off them. All these items were purchased separately, and it was quite a task to collect them all. Plus, they were all the highest specs available domestically. It must have taken quite a while to collect these items, and they were probably pretty expensive too.

This time, she was sure that these were gifts from Jamie, because only Jamie would know her that well.

Jamie also sent her a message: a[Do you like your gift?]

[I love it. Thank you.It's too expensive. I have to pay you back.]

With that, Cordelia transferred $500 to Jamie. But Jamie didn't accept the payment.

As for the gifts, Cordelia really didn't want to give them back. Why did he send flowers before if he was going to give her such thoughtful gifts? She didn't ask Jamie about the flowers when she received them, and Jamie didn't ask her either. Now, Cordelia wondered whether the flowers were really from Jamie.

[Mr. Colby, did you send me flowers on Christmas?] she asked Jamie.

[Do I look like the type to shoot myself in the foot?]

Cordelia frowned slightly. It didn't seem like something Jamie would do. Jamie wouldn't cause trouble for her, but who could have sent them then?

Milana wasn't a gossip, but she also couldn't keep her hands off Cordelia's gifts, commenting on how generous the gift-giver was.

"No way, I need to report this and have Wyatt get all of us one of these. It's so unfair that you get to use these advanced tools while we can only watch in envy." Milana said, "It's making me feel so jealous."

Cordelia didn't want to make a big deal out of this, afraid that it would cause issues with Ronan, but Milana was insistent.

Understanding the mindset of a finance professional, Cordelia didn't say anything.

Milana quickly filed the report. The next day, Wyatt personally visited Cordelia's office to check out these tools.

Even though the budget was only a few tens of thousands of dollars, any new facilities in the Finance Department had to be reported to Ronan.

"Are these items necessary?" Ronan asked Wyatt after reading the report.

"We saw Cordelia using these tools so smoothly and efficiently, of course we're envious."
