Married a Secret Billionaire

In addition, she would be closer to the hospital by being in the city, and it would be more convenient for her to take care of her mother.

They rented a small place, and despite its size, Cordelia tidied the place up and bought new blinds and sheets.

The dining table was covered with a checkered apple-green tablecloth, and there were a few stalks of tulips in the glass vase by the window.

Marcus looked around and thought of the life he used to have.

The Hamerton mansion, which was tens of thousands of square meters, had been built along the hill. It was lofty as a castle, with luxury oozing from each corner. Each of the meals he had there used to come from the best chefs from different countries.

Nothing about that could compare to this, though. Those things were nothing compared to this clean, warm nest and the meals Cordelia cooked for him.

“What’s up?” Cordelia looked at him with her bright eyes. “Is the food not to your taste?”

Marcus smiled. “It’s alright.”

“Have more then,” she told him. “Oh, Linda got me a job. It’s a sales job at the company she’s currently working at. I can start tomorrow.”

“So fast?” Marcus glanced at her. “Is the company listed? How much is its annual sales volume? Who runs the company?”

The bombarding questions stunned Cordelia. She had not asked so much about the company, as she would be only an entry-level saleswoman who would work on commission. Who cared about the person running the company…

“Uh… I’ll ask when I start work.”

In spite of this, she had never imagined that her superiors would actually be Jesse Ford and Karine Carmichael.

Jesse was her university senior, who had once pursued her fervently, but she had made her rejection clear. Firstly, her mother had still been ill and she had to take care of her family, so she’d hardly had any time. Secondly, Jesse was too calculative. He used to be a snob back in the student council, and Cordelia did not like that.

As for Karine, she was someone Jesse had gotten together with only after failing to pursue Cordelia. That was why Karine had always resented Cordelia.

It was unexpected that they would actually meet in the same company.
