Zephyr held her hands and pressed her palms against his face. Were it possible, of course, he did not want her to go to work.

Janine was infamous for being a true capitalist. She worked women like men, and men like animals… Why should Cordelia suffer like that? She could just wait for him at home, and they could…

Zephyr suddenly felt the hands slipping from his grasp. When he realized it, Cordelia had already stood up.

“I need to hurry to work now!” She grinned. “Aren’t you going to the office today?”

“I’m slacking today. I don’t feel like going.” He got up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Then wait for me at home!”

“No!” He refused right away.

Zephyr narrowed his eyes and smirked.

“Cordelia, I… will go to work with you. What do you think?”

“Huh?” Cordelia startled. “Why?”

Why? He was the second-largest shareholder in the company! He had just 1% less in shares compared to Janine! What was the problem that he went to check his company out?

Was Janine all this girl could see? There was no place for him anymore?
