The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 356

After dinner, while Ronan was downstairs entertaining the kid, Cordelia returned to their room alone. She booted up her laptop and started searching for job openings at Lumos Enterprises. And sure enough, she found some.

Lumos Enterprises was a large corporation. Its official website and various job posting platforms were brimming with recruitment announcements. This year, the Audit Department was hiring ten accountants. The requirements included a postgraduate degree or higher, at least ten years of work experience, a CPA license, and experience in large-scale project auditing.

Cordelia's heart sank. When she first applied to the Audit Department for Wyatt, she was new and full of hope. At the time, she didn't have her CPA license and was only hoping for an assistant's position.

Now, with the Olen couple at home, Cordelia was feeling pretty uncomfortable. She wanted to seize this opportunity to move to the States.

Throughout the evening, Cordelia was noticeably distracted. So much so that when Ronan returned to the room and saw her sitting there, seemingly lost in thought, he couldn't help but ask, "What's got you so deep in your head? Who's on your mind?"

"You, of course," Cordelia replied casually.

"Me?" Ronan's lips curled in amusement. Clearly, he didn't believe her.

"Who else could I possibly be thinking about?"

Ronan sat down beside Cordelia, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Are you thinking about me or a certain part of me?"

Ronan always had a way with words that could make Cordelia blush. He never seemed to hold back. If anything, he seemed to enjoy her reactions.

"That part!" Cordelia's hand reached for Ronan. "I want to squeeze it until it's pulp!"

Ronan whispered in her ear, "If it's pulp, it won't work anymore. I mean, it won't make us childless, but it would be a pity for you!"

Cordelia swiftly stepped on his foot. "Get lost!"

The next afternoon, Cordelia was standing in front of the full-length mirror, examining her reflection. She was dressed in a black, strapless dress that could be worn as a cocktail dress or just a regular outfit without standing out. She had even applied a light layer of makeup.
