The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 19

Cordelia finally got the picture. The Jamie that added her when she was going to Barney's wasn't some random dude or scammer, but a wealthy bloke her brother was keen to introduce her to.

But Jamie was very polite and talented, exactly Cordelia's type. The introduction was probably just her brother's wishful thinking.

"Now it'll be easier to ask you about business law," Cordelia said with a smile.

"Right, I'll find some questions for you to do in a few days. Business law is the easiest subject; just memorize it, and you'll pass. Spend some more time and work harder, you'll get the certificate quickly," Jamie said while nicknaming Cordelia on Facebook. Cordelia's Facebook name was "Hoppy Della."

"Cordelia, you've been made permanent at Lumos Enterprises, and I haven’t celebrated for you yet! I heard the elimination rate at Lumos Enterprises is pretty high, you're really excellent." Adrian took the chance to compliment his sister, hoping to leave a good impression on Jamie and sell her off at a good price in the future.

"Yeah." Cordelia didn’t want to deal with him and turned her head to look out the window after speaking.

Jamie didn't respond, leaving Adrian feeling pretty awkward.

Arriving at the company housing, Cordelia got out of the car. She walked while looking at her phone. Everyone who saw her was like, "Oh, the boss is here," and quickly made way for her. In their eyes, Cordelia was already Ronan's girlfriend and possibly the future wife of his. Nobody dared to mess with her now.

Before she could open the dorm door, Cordelia received a message from Ronan. [Come to Grandpa's house at 10 a.m. tomorrow. I'll pick you up from the residence.]

Cordelia's heart suddenly sped up. She didn't expect to see Ronan so soon. Cordelia started to pack her stuff.

"Cordelia, are you dating Mr. Evans?" Brooklyn suddenly leaned over and asked quietly, her eyes full of curiosity.

"No, no." Cordelia hesitated but still told her best friend the truth. "We just... slept together once."

"Whoa!" Brooklyn gasped in surprise. "Didn't see that coming. You really moved fast, sleeping with him just like that."

"Not really, it was just an accident." This accident was also a surprise to Cordelia, although Ronan thought she'd done it on purpose.

"So, what's your relationship now?"

"Just... like that. By the way, I won't be here tomorrow night, I have to go out."

"Where are you going? Don't tell me you're going on a date with Mr. Evans?"

"Uh... no... something else..."

"Oh my god, you guys are totally dating!"

"No, we're not." Cordelia thought for a moment. Although she couldn’t see Ronan now and occasionally felt she was missing him for many reasons. For example, this time, Ronan helped her get out of the public eye, but Cordelia still didn’t think they were dating. In a real relationship, there were endless topics of conversation, but they were always silent when they were together.

"Alright, alright, stop playing coy. I know the company has rules against office romance. Don't worry, I'll keep your secret. Just remember to promote me to PR Director when you become the company's first lady." Brooklyn didn't have high expectations.

Cordelia remained silent.
