The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 58

Cordelia hit the sack in her dorm tonight.

Ronan didn't text or call, which left Cordelia on pins and needles, clueless about what he was thinking.

The next day at work, the Training Center dropped a bombshell, "Friday's training session has been moved to today, with Mr. Evans taking the reins. He'll be diving into corporate crisis management. Be there or be square."

The Training Center set up a chat group specifically for “Lumos Star”, which also included other instructors and top dogs. Of course, Ronan was in the mix.

Ronan's session was supposed to be next month, so why the sudden change of plans to today?

His thoughts were always a tough nut to crack and Cordelia couldn't make heads or tails of it. If it doesn't make sense, then don't rack your brains over it.

Brooklyn sent Cordelia a message, "Are we going this afternoon?"

Cordelia wanted to avoid Ronan like the plague. She decided she couldn't give a damn about him anymore.

"Nope," Cordelia replied.

"Your beef with him shouldn't get in the way of your job."

"I don't want to see him."

"Like it or not, he's your hubby. You and Mr. Evans tied the knot, so not showing up will leave your husband in the lurch. Will he be ticked off?"

Brooklyn must've been juggling too many chats and dropped the ball, accidentally posting her message in the training group instead.

Cordelia was also working and figured Brooklyn hadn't seen her message since she didn't respond, so she didn’t sweat it.

Until a coworker nudged Brooklyn and asked with wide eyes, "Cordelia and Mr. Evans got hitched?"

Brooklyn's eyes popped, "How'd you know?"

"Didn't you say so?" the coworker held up her phone.

Brooklyn tried to recall the message, but it was too late.

Brooklyn knew she'd stepped in it and felt majorly awkward.

There were over twenty people in the training group, and Cordelia was the only person from the Finance Department. She was a bit slow on the uptake, but the news about her spread like wildfire.

By the time everyone was gossiping about "Mrs. Evans", Cordelia had a lightbulb moment: Who are they talking about?

Until Brooklyn awkwardly said, "Cordelia, you might wanna check the training group chatting."

Cordelia thought: It's just an afternoon training session, what's the big deal? But when she opened the group chat, she was gobsmacked.

"Recall it."
