The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 88

Cordelia had been following Jordan's advice and working at Lumos Plaza every day. She had been handling the finances there and was super busy. Now, she no longer carpooled with Ronan but went to work and came home on her own, then went straight to bed.

On Friday, she came back to the company to take a test for the Audit Department. There were two tests in one day, and there was another interview next week.

At the written test, Cordelia ran into someone: Manda.

The Audit Department was hiring from all over, and Manda also came to take the test. After all, the salary at Lumos Enterprises' was pretty high. It started at 20 grand with no cap, which was quite a draw. Manda successfully passed the preliminary test and entered the written test stage.

This time, it was Manda's half-brother Lionel who came with her. Lionel heard from Manda that Cordelia also worked at Lumos Enterprises and guessed that Cordelia would apply to the Audit Department too. Manda loved to stir the pot, hoping her half-brother and Cordelia would have a run-in.

Cordelia tried to avoid Lionel when she saw him, but Lionel had already spotted her, his eyes filled with mixed feelings.

"Cordelia, wait for me!" Lionel said, staring straight at Cordelia.

The last time Lionel harassed Cordelia, Ronan had someone teach him a lesson. But that didn't make him back off. Instead, he found Cordelia even more fascinating. She was tough and unique. She made it hard for him to suppress his thoughts, leaving him feeling a bit miffed. Plus, Cordelia was really pretty; if he could date her, he'd be the envy of everyone.

After seeing Lionel, Cordelia was reminded of the last time she was taken away by the police. That time, Ronan was furious.

On Monday, the Audit Department released the list of people who entered the secondary test, and Cordelia's name was on it.

But she suddenly didn't want to go to the Audit Department anymore.

She emailed Wyatt, stating that after careful consideration, she felt that she was better suited for a job in the Finance Department, thanked Wyatt for his support, and apologized for the trouble she had caused.

Wyatt went to Ronan and asked. "Ronan, did you know your wife has turned down the job at the Audit Department?"

"I had no idea." Ronan was also surprised; after all, the Audit Department had always been Cordelia's goal.

"Could you ask her why? Her test results were excellent, and I don't want to lose this talent." Wyatt said.

From what Ronan knew of Cordelia, she would prefer the Audit Department over the Finance Department.

Could she be thinking of going to Jamie's company?

He checked the time and saw that it was almost quitting time, but she finished work at the same time as the mall, at ten o'clock.

He went out for a meal, stayed in the office for a while, and then drove to Lumos Plaza without telling Cordelia in advance.

At about ten past ten, Cordelia walked out of the mall, looking worn out and still holding a cup of coffee.

She was wearing a white shirt paired with jeans and carrying a canvas bag, looking like a college student. But at this moment, maybe because she was tired, her eyebrows were drooping, looking a bit pitiful.

When Cordelia got to the entrance of the mall, Ronan's car honked a few times.

She reacted slowly and then got into Ronan's car, still sipping her coffee.

"Are you drinking coffee again?" Ronan looked at the coffee in Cordelia's hand and frowned.

Cordelia was very sleepy, and her mind was a bit fuzzy. She glanced at the coffee in her hand. "It's from your mall; I'm not the only one drinking it."

"I don't have the right to control what other people do; they're not my wife." After saying that, Ronan started the car.
