Cordelia texted Marcus and dragged her feet to the Eterous Hotel. The moment she stepped into the room, she saw a handsome man sitting in the main seat, almost like a celebrity. She froze.

She had not looked carefully back when she was at the Bayer Group’s building, but now that she was seeing from such a close distance, Annie was right—the man was better looking than his photos.

Josiah did not expect Cordelia to be here either. He was surprised when he saw her enter before he felt chills down his spine. When he came in just now, Michael and Jesse hurried to pander to him and told him mysteriously that a beautiful girl would accompany him tonight.

‘If Z were to find out about this…’ Josiah sucked in a cold breath and sprang up, his eyes trained on Cordelia.

“Mr. Bayer?” Cordelia nodded. “I’m Cordelia Jenner, from the sales department.”

“Oh, oh.” Josiah nodded stiffly.

Michael and Jesse smirked inwardly. It seemed that no matter how successful a man was, he would barely pass up on a beautiful woman. Josiah would definitely be put in Cordelia’s hands!

“Cordelia, stop standing there!” Michael gave her a look. “Pour Mr. Bayer some wine!”

Cordelia approached Josiah weakly. Just as she was about to pour him wine, the latter anxiously stopped her. “No, no! Don’t… You don’t have to be so courteous…”

The two men were stunned.

Josiah chuckled awkwardly while fat droplets of sweat dotted his forehead, and he had no idea where to place his hands.

Jesse looked at Cordelia. “Propose a toast to Mr. Bayer!”

Cordelia could only pour herself a glass of wine and empty it as a courtesy.

Josiah felt chills to his core. How would he dare let his sister-in-law give him a toast? He poured a full glass for himself and guzzled it down thrice.

“Don’t just keep drinking!” Michael said again, “Hah, Cordelia, help Mr. Bayer with the dishes!”

Before Cordelia could pick up anything, Josiah was quick to cry, “I’ll do it myself! I wouldn’t dare trouble si— Ms. Jenner!”

Michael frowned, finding the situation not right, but he could not point out what exactly.

It was said that Josiah Bayer was a womanizer and had seen plenty of women. Even if he did like Cordelia, there was no way he should get nervous to this extent.
