“He and Joanna have been married for years, while Yelena has been with the company for many years too, never having had any say in HR and finance. So what makes me deserve that position?”

Zephyr said nothing, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

“There are two possibilities.” Cordelia continued to analyze. “He’s either testing me to see if I covet the Jenner Group or… he’s trying to sow discord between Yelena and me.

“As soon as I agreed, Joanna and Yelena wouldn’t let me go. The more we fight, the happier he is!

“So, I won’t get myself into trouble.” She took a bite of the spaghetti. “At least not now!”

Zephyr chuckled. He pulled a piece of tissue to wipe the corner of her lips. He had an alluring look on his face.

His voice was husky as he complimented, “My wife is so smart.”

That came from his heart completely. He had assumed he had married a soft-spoken wife, and never had he thought Cordelia would surprise him over and over again.

She was not a trumpet vine that needed support but a cotton tree that stood tall with him. Her roots grew sturdy underground while her leaves touched the sky.

However, the more she was like that, the more he worried about their future.

Cordelia smiled coquettishly at him. There was some pride in her big, beautiful eyes.

“You realized that you married a trophy now, yes?”

Zephyr smiled and remained silent.

He played with her hair. “Wifey, you’re wasting your talent to be working for the Jenner Group when you’re so smart! Maybe you should be your own boss.”

“I’d love that…” Cordelia sighed and finished the rest of her food. She then lay on the couch while caressing her bloated belly.
