The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 85

The next day at work, Brooklyn texted Cordelia specifically, saying she had something to talk about.

"What's up?" At noon, Cordelia and Brooklyn were eating Mexican chili stir-fried shrimp outside.

The Mexican food joint was tiny and tucked in a corner of towering buildings, but it was always packed. Cordelia and Brooklyn could only munch in a corner. This time, Cordelia ordered the super spicy meal. It was so hot that it turned her lips red.

"I went to submit some documents to our director today. She was on a phone call and said that Wyatt was coming back tomorrow. Wyatt will take charge directly." Brooklyn continued. "Aren't you interested in joining the Audit Department? I think you can seize this opportunity."

Cordelia frowned. "No-go. The HR department sent my resume back; apparently I don't meet their requirements, so it's useless for me to submit it again. I even asked Ronan for help, but he refused."

"Keep it down; it's Mr. Evans in public, not Ronan. Be careful not to be overheard." Brooklyn looked around. "Here's what I'm thinking. Even though HR rejected your resume, you could translate it into German and give it directly to Wyatt. Who knows? You might just get lucky and get picked by Wyatt."

Cordelia figured that going straight to the boss was more effective than going through subordinates. Brooklyn did not know that Ronan had already translated Cordelia's resume. Cordelia was planning to print out several copies and give them to Wyatt as soon as he arrived.

Now that she had hope, Cordelia was thrilled and returned to the company joyfully with Brooklyn.

Just as they entered the lobby, they saw Ronan coming out of the elevator.

He was probably going for lunch.

"Hello, Mr. Evans."

"Hello, Mr. Evans."

Cordelia and Brooklyn greeted Ronan at the same time.

Ronan walked briskly; he just glanced at Cordelia and frowned.

"You've been eating spicy food again!" He said.

After that, he walked away.

Cordelia wanted to say something, but he had already left, so she didn't.

"What did he say?" Brooklyn asked Cordelia. "Does he mind you eating spicy food?"

Brooklyn seemed shocked.

"Yes."
