Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 28
“Certainly!” Jesse’s eyes flitted about, but his gaze was constantly on Cordelia.
She was usually quiet and soft as a pushover, but she had been like a thorny rose when she’d argued with Karine just now. The contrast was refreshing to Jesse, and he was even more captivated.
“It’s almost noon.” He smiled. “I’ll buy you lunch, Lia. Consider it an apology. Don’t say no!”
“It’s fine.” Cordelia looked at him impassively. “I’ve brought my own lunch. I don’t want to go out.”
“Leftovers from last night?” Jesse lowered his voice with a smirk. “Lia, a pretty girl like you shouldn’t be eating leftovers…”
“I’m only eating my own food.” Cordelia stared straight at him. “Mr. Ford, I’ll excuse myself now. You should head back to the office too lest Ms. Carmichael kicks up a fuss again when she sees us talking alone.”
“Lia, are you this reluctant to talk to me?”
Jesse was shameless and hard to shake off, clinging to Cordelia. When he realized that what he was doing was ineffective, he had another idea and told her with a grin, “I won’t be having lunch alone with you. There’s actually a client here!”
Cordelia paused and looked hesitant.

Cordelia stayed silent.
“The client’s supposed to arrive tomorrow, but the flight was changed last minute. The interpreter I hired is fully booked today, so… can you do me this favor, Lia?”
Cordelia wanted to refuse, but the company had a limited pool of foreign clients. The client had to be a quality resource since Jesse was on it. A potential client could be lost if she did not go.
Besides, Jesse was petty. Not going meant defying his orders, and he might pick on her in the future.
