The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 422

Cordelia was fuming at home. She shot a message to Mr. Reese from the dean's office. [Mr. Reese, there's this finance major, Harold, who's been harassing teachers and disturbing classes. Can you please look into this matter?]

Mr. Reese replied, [Ms. Haselwood, we've already been informed about this issue. I'll handle it first thing tomorrow morning!]

Just as she put her phone down, Cordelia received another message, this time from Petra.

[Cordelia, we've all heard about you and Harold. The whole school knows by now. You must have some charm to have stirred up this young man's hormones so quickly. I've heard he's quite popular with the ladies. Who would have thought you'd be the one to reel him in?]

[Enough about that. I've reported him!]

[Really, Cordelia, why would you report something like this? Where's your sense of fun?]

Cordelia didn't care about having fun; she had reported him, and Mr. Reese had promised to investigate. There was something else Cordelia needed to do, but she was so upset with Harold that she couldn't remember what it was.

...

Callum and Emerson returned from their meeting spot, disappointed.

Ronan had previously said that he wouldn't go on a date with Callum and Cordelia. So, Callum had asked Emerson to accompany him instead.

Unfortunately, Cordelia didn't show up.

"You're back?" Ronan noticed their disheartened faces and asked.

"She didn't come," Callum whined, resting his head on Ronan's shoulder.

"I figured as much."

Ronan's gaze was icy cold. He had predicted that she would not come, but he had never expected her to stand up the Callum without even a phone call.

Ronan clenched his jaw. He guessed that she neither cared about him nor wanted to see him. Her absence from the Empower Operations meeting was good proof of that.
