The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 152

Ronan impatiently lit a cigarette during the meeting. Sensing Ronan's bad mood, Emerson asked,

"Ronan, should we postpone the meeting until tomorrow?"

"No need, let's continue," Ronan replied.

Emerson continued explaining the Finance Department's restructuring plan and how it would affect

other departments.

By the end of the day, the entire company knew about the argument between Cordelia and Ronan.

Cordelia's voice was particularly loud, so colleagues said Cordelia threatened to divorce Ronan. No

one knew the specifics of the threat.

Cordelia was the first person in the company's history to argue loudly with Ronan in the CEO's office.

Brooklyn sent a message. [Cordelia, you really have the guts to argue with Mr. Evans. If he gets really

angry and decides to divorce you, what will you do?]

Cordelia was busy working and didn't reply. She thought to herself that her divorce from Ronan was

inevitable anyway.

But just before leaving work, Cordelia suddenly realized that she needed someone to accompany her

and her mother back to Roseville. Ronan was definitely not an option, so she had to find someone else.

She messaged Brooklyn. [Brooklyn, do you have any plans for Halloween?]

Brooklyn replied. [Nothing special, probably just watching TV dramas at home. There's been no

progress between Edwin and me. It feels like his heart is frozen, and I can't get through. I can't find an

excuse to go on a date with him either.] Brooklyn also sent a crying emoji.

Cordelia replied. [For the Halloween, my mother wants me to accompany her to Roseville, my

grandmother's house. But my mother has trouble with her legs and can't make it to the bus station on

her own. Can you ask Edwin...?]

Cordelia originally wanted to ask Brooklyn to be her driver because she couldn't drive. But seeing that

there was no progress between Brooklyn and Edwin, Cordelia made this request, hoping to find an

opportunity to help them connect.

Brooklyn replied, [I understand. I'll ask him. It's only natural for me to accompany you and your mother

since she has trouble with her legs.]

At the end of the workday, Cordelia and Brooklyn walked and discussed their plans for going to

Roseville. They reached the entrance hall. Coincidentally, Ronan's car passed by the company

entrance with Emerson in it.

Emerson was Ronan's employee, and after work, they usually went for a drink.

Ronan saw Cordelia at the entrance and then shifted his gaze, closing his eyes briefly.

Emerson couldn't help but ask, "Hmm, Mr. Evans, have I seen that girl somewhere?"

Ronan followed Emerson's line of sight and looked at Cordelia again. He said, unsure of what she was

talking to Brooklyn about, "I think her name is Cordelia."

"Oh, she's your..." Emerson felt awkward. "I almost got misled by you. Isn't she going home with you?"

"No, she's going to her mother's place." The car passed by, and Ronan saw Cordelia waiting for the

bus. Her brows were furrowed the whole time.

Ronan sneered in his heart. She was probably feeling upset and worried about Jamie.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

With that thought, Ronan sent a message to Adrian. [Has Jamie's news been released?]

Ronan's phone rang a few times. Adrian replied. [It has been released and will hit the headlines soon.]

[Also, are there any vacancies in the sales department?]

Ronan smiled. Adrian probably thought he had done him a favor and would start asking for conditions.

But since Adrian had just helped him, Ronan naturally wanted to repay him. He had learned Adrian's

self-interest well.

[There are.]

Ronan knew that Adrian's friend had low qualifications, and he probably just wanted a grassroots sales

position. Such positions had vacancies every day.

[Well, I have a relative named Samantha. She currently works in sales at the Roseville Paper Mill and

wants to work at Lumos Enterprises. Can you help arrange it? We're family, after all.]

[Sure. Have her start after Halloween.]

[No interview needed?]

[Not necessary.]

[Then, after Halloween, I'll have her come to Millstone.]

[Alright.]
