Married a Secret Billionaire

“There are a lot of unpredictable things in the workplace,” said Janine. “I went through it and have lots of experience. I’ll teach Cordelia so she can explore her own career in the future!”

Cordelia felt like a free lunch was just thrown right to her from the sky, and she nodded profusely.

Janine looked at her lovingly. “Besides, I think that Cordelia’s a capable, determined, and smart girl. She’ll do well!”

“Aunt Janine…” Cordelia felt a sob. No one had ever complimented her like this.

Her mother was ill all the time in the past and rarely said things like this to her. It had caused her to assume she was stupid and did not deserve anything good. It was after growing up that she slowly corrected the thought, but the inferiority complex planted deep within still pricked her occasionally.

Janine rubbed her smooth hair. “My dear child, will you become my assistant and work with me?”

“Of course!”

“I’ll teach you well then. But I don’t have a good temper and am quite merciless at work. Can you stand it?”

“Yes!”

Janine looked at her with a grin.

“I knew it. You’re your mother’s daughter. You wouldn’t be weak!”

Cordelia did not understand what it meant. In her impression, her mother had always just been a regular housewife and had been ill. Why did it seem like she was someone impressive to Janine?

Maybe it was because they were best friends like she was with Linda—they thought that each other was the best too.

“Alright, enough of this.” Janine came back to herself. “Resign from your current work and complete the handover as soon as possible. Try to report yourself next week. What do you think?”

Cordelia agreed immediately. “No problem!”

Both of them chatted in glee, completely ignoring Zephyr, who was at the side.

The next second, Cordelia seemed to recall something and looked at Zephyr with a troubled expression.

Zephyr jolted. Did she finally remember that he was here?

Cordelia said after a pause, “Aunt Janine, can you… do me another favor?”
