The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 247

Cordelia blinked, then stepped out.

Janice had prepared a feast today - a hearty pot roast, beef meatballs and a few deliciously sautéed greens.

“Oh, this is amazing. I haven't had such a feast in a long time,” Cordelia said delightedly to Janice.

“Really? They don't feed you well at their house?” Ronan asked in a mocking tone.

Cordelia was left speechless by his retort, and simply continued eating. After a while, Cordelia spoke up, “I’m planning to visit GreenPeace Enterprises and PrimeBuild Contractors tomorrow. I’ve informed Tristi. Just thought I should let you know.” After all, the car and the driver were his, so it was only right that she should keep him informed of her plans.

“Hmm,” Ronan replied nonchalantly. “Let Janice accompany you.”

“Alright,” Cordelia agreed.

After dinner, Cordelia retired to her room to write in her diary and then went to bed.

Just as she settled in, she received a message from Brenda. [Cordelia, did you know that Manda got arrested for corporate espionage?]

[What? I thought she was an administrator?] Cordelia sat up in shock.

[Exactly, I’m just as baffled. I don’t know how she got herself involved in corporate espionage. She might have crossed the wrong person.] Brenda replied.

Cordelia laid back down, a vague thought crossing her mind. Could it be Ronan? But Manda hadn’t crossed paths with Ronan lately!

Whenever something shocking and inexplicable happened, Cordelia’s mind would always turn to Ronan. After all, he was a force to be reckoned with, and crossing him could be deadly.

By the time she woke up, it was already nine in the morning and Ronan had already left.

Janice had left breakfast for Cordelia. Perhaps it was Shelley's sudden absence, but Cordelia found herself feeling quite fond of middle-aged women. Cordelia and Janice’s relationship had grown remarkably close.
