The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 93

The guilty and displeased feelings toward Ronan had carried over till the next day.

By noon, Cordelia had arranged to have lunch with Brooklyn, but to her surprise, they bumped into Ronan and a group of high-level executives returning from the outside.

They seemed to have had a site visit in the morning.

When their eyes met, Cordelia inevitably felt awkward. Given her complicated feelings towards Ronan, she lowered her head and deliberately hid behind Brooklyn.

As Ronan walked past her, he said, "Why are you always avoiding me? And no junk food allowed."

Cordelia and Brooklyn froze. Just one sentence from Ronan had stopped them in their tracks. No junk food allowed, so they should eat something else. But in the end, they chose junk food. At the restaurant, Cordelia spoke more cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I have no idea how he knew about those things. It's making me feel very defensive." Cordelia said.

Brooklyn also felt guilty, because she betrayed Cordelia before. She could only try to lighten the tense mood, "So, if there's anything else you haven't told him, better spit it out now. Honesty is the best policy. Resistance only makes things worse."

At this point, Cordelia suddenly remembered, "That day he gave me a book and told me that I could only carry this book in my bag. No other books are allowed. Do you think he already knows about the book Jamie wrote?"

Brooklyn nodded quickly, "He must know. This is not a hin. It's a clear message. I'm also curious how he found out."

Then, Cordelia mentioned the message that Deanna sent yesterday. At the mention of this, Brooklyn got excited, "Let's get Edwin. Get him to wear the shirt Deanna sent, and we should sent her a warning. She's just a mistress. What's there to be so cocky about?"

However, Cordelia felt that it wasn't a good idea, as Deanna was his first love and they were bound to get together someday. As for her and Ronan, they were just a couple by agreement and would eventually separate.

"We'll see." Cordelia ate her meal slowly.

When they got back to the office, Brooklyn told Cordelia, "You must confess to Mr. Evans."

Although Cordelia was reluctant, she knew that if he exposed the matter in an ungraceful manner one day, she would feel even more embarrassed.

So, she took The CPA Success Blueprint that Jamie gave her along with his notes, and went to Ronan's office.

"Did you have junk food again?" Ronan frowned at Cordelia's lips.
