“What!?” Jesse gnashed his teeth. “Cordelia, you—”

“You’re good-looking, Mr. Ford. You’d definitely look better than me The company will rely on you for its sales then!”

The people around them who heard it chuckled behind their hands as they whispered about Jesse’s loss.

Cordelia smirked and left.

Jesse stood rooted, dazed for a long moment. The sharpness that gleamed from Cordelia’s impassive gaze was chilling and exactly like Marcus, who had beaten him up the other day.

Cordelia looked up information on the computer right after returning home and having dinner.

Marcus was curious and peeked behind her only to see Josiah’s photo on Cordelia’s screen!

Cordelia studied the information and photo the whole night, memorizing Josiah’s preferences and such.

Marcus’ gaze darkened, and he silently went to the balcony, closing the door. His sandbag and boxing gloves were there, and he spent some time boxing. The longer he did it, the more frustrated he felt. He glanced inside the house and saw that Cordelia was still focused on the computer.

He punched the bag and went to stand at a corner of the balcony. He pulled out his phone, gave it a thought, and called Josiah.

“Z?” Josiah was at the bar, surprised at receiving the call. “How may I help you?”

The other end of the line was silent.

Josiah checked his screen. The signal was fine, and the call was connected, so he asked again, “Z, what’s up?”

Marcus was still quiet.
