The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 307

Even though Ronan had a late night, when Cordelia had woken up, he was already gone.

After having her breakfast, Cordelia headed to the office. She spent the entire morning engrossed in work, sorting out files for Pulse Technologies. She even added the head of Pulse Technologies on Messenger for any work-related discussions.

Right now, she was busy managing the accounts for The High Society series, a project sponsored by Pulse Technologies. Cordelia needed to meet her for a meeting.

“Ms. Haselwood, could you possibly come down to my place? I am tied up on the set and can't leave. Our company has booked a floor in the hotel where The High Society series team is staying. I handle the accounts there daily.”

Cordelia thought to herself, “This cannot be delayed. I must go.”

“Cordelia, if you're going, I'll go with you. Pulse Technologies is a major project, and I would also like to meet their head,” Milana offered.

So, Cordelia and Milana hitched a ride with Tristi to the Azure View Hotel, right across from The High Society set.

Just as they were entering the hallway, Cordelia heard someone speaking outside a room. “Ms. Samantha, I'm afraid your appearance doesn't fit our series' needs. We have to recast.”

“Why?” Although the voice came from inside the room and Cordelia couldn't see the person, she immediately recognized Samantha's voice.

“It’s nothing personal. Your image just doesn't match the character,” the other party replied.

Cordelia frowned slightly, thinking to herself, “I’ve just arrived and have already ran into Samantha's awkward situation. Samantha is quite stubborn. I wonder how she'll hold this against me.”

The CFO of Pulse Technologies was staying in the room next to Samantha's. Once inside, the three women started discussing accounts. Cordelia didn't dwell on Samantha's issues anymore.

However, as Cordelia and Milana were leaving, they saw Samantha dragging her suitcase out. Samantha glared at Cordelia, as being seen in such an embarrassing situation by Cordelia was a blow to her pride.

“Watch your back!” Samantha spat out before leaving.

“Did you upset her?” Milana asked.
