The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 188

Cordelia didn't wake up until 8 o'clock the next morning. When she went downstairs for breakfast, Janice was all smiles serving her food. From Janice's smile, she could tell what had happened. She had probably been pampered by Mr. Evans all night.

Last night, she had temporarily forgotten about her background, but when he left, Cordelia felt lost again. Even on the way to Proxima Ventures, she felt spiritless, as if the world had abandoned her. It wasn't until she met Grant that this feeling disappeared.

Grant handed his business card to Cordelia with a smile. Cordelia finally remembered where she had heard Grant's name before. The last time she had dinner with Thomas, Ronan had mentioned Grant, mentioning that Grant's wife had cheated on him.

"Mr. Evans told me yesterday that you would be coming in person today. I've prepared all the documents for you. If I left it to my subordinates, they'd be too slow. They couldn't even get these documents together in one go." Grant kindly told Cordelia.

"Thank you, Mr. Grant." Cordelia looked at the pile of documents in front of her.

She suddenly understood what Ronan meant by "you don't understand." If he had just given her the contact information of his subordinates, they wouldn't have known who she was and would naturally drag their feet—going straight to Grant saved time and improved work efficiency. It seemed that even though she had always insisted on being independent, she had accepted his help to some degree. Even her chance to go to the Audit Department was because of his help!

Thinking about her previous self-pity, Cordelia felt at least he was good to her. Life didn't seem so bitter anymore.

This was the first time Grant had met Cordelia. She was a breath of fresh air in the world of the wealthy, her eyes full of starlight and hope. After Cordelia left his office, Grant sent a message to Ronan. [Mr. Evans, you have excellent taste. Her beauty is unique and extraordinary.]

Ronan simply replied. [Flattered.]

When Cordelia walked into the lobby of Proxima Ventures, she was surprised to see Jamie coming towards her. Upon seeing Cordelia, Jamie immediately smiled. "Cordelia."
