The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 46

After getting out of the car, Ronan, with an umbrella in his hand, walked into the villa.

Cordelia just came back from Barney's room to Ronan's bedroom.

"Haven't you gotten your stuff back yet?" Ronan asked her.

"Not yet. It's such a drag to always be lugging suitcases around if you keep sending me away,"

Cordelia replied, “Besides, there were diaries in the suitcase. It'd be safer to keep them in the

bedroom.”

"Take your umbrella back. Sleep in the bedroom next door tonight," Ronan handed the umbrella back

to Cordelia.

He saw Cordelia's puzzled and upset expression.

"You don’t want this umbrella anymore? I had my friend buy it for you from overseas," Cordelia looked

up at Ronan, "It sucks to get rained on."

Whenever Cordelia thought of the time her father got sick, she felt incredibly sad.

Ronan said nothing, but he had already put the umbrella on the bed.

His message was clear: he didn't want the umbrella anymore.

Cordelia didn't know what Deanna and Ronan had just talked about, but his attitude suddenly changed.

"Well, fine then!" Cordelia said, "You don't appreciate people's good intentions! You can just get soaked

in the rain."

Thinking that Ronan might have been influenced by Deanna, Cordelia's tone became somewhat cold

and bitter.

"Cordelia!" Ronan didn't expect Cordelia to say so, he called out in a low voice.

Cordelia ignored him, picked up her quilt, and headed towards the next room.

Sleeping separately was perfect, this way she could avoid his harassment and get a good rest.

That night, Cordelia didn't come downstairs for dinner.

She lay in bed half the day, not understanding why Ronan suddenly got so angry. She could

understand his impatience with her because of Logan, but today he suddenly returned her umbrella,

just what was he angry about?

After much thought, she guessed, could it be that Deanna was stirring up trouble, claiming that her

umbrella was a fake?

Thinking about this, Cordelia got angry. Why did he listen to everything Deanna said?

Was everything she said the truth?

The next day was a training session for "Lumos Star". As one of the newly selected staff members, this

was Cordelia's first time attending.

It just so happened to be Ronan's class.

Generally, he only held these kinds of classes once a month. He would discuss the company's

development and macroscopic matters. After all, those present were all potential future managers of

his company.

Cordelia sat in the first row, next to Brooklyn.

Ronan, in a grey suit, explained his topics in an in-depth and understandable manner, with a serious

demeanor.

Perhaps because he was the president of the company, the young colleagues were all very focused,

without any chatter.

Just two minutes into his lecture, Cordelia exaggeratedly sprawled out on the desk.

She fell asleep.

She was in the front row, right under Ronan's nose, and she fell asleep...

She did it on purpose to let him see. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

This was her response to his behavior the previous night.

She wanted to humiliate him in front of all his colleagues.

Although there were only about twenty people present, who were all chosen from this year's interns, it

was like having twenty megaphones, soon the entire company would know...

Brooklyn nervously jabbed Cordelia's arm, whispering, "Are you trying to stir up trouble by sleeping in

the president's class?"

No matter how much Brooklyn poked, she couldn't wake up the pretend-sleeping Cordelia.

Ronan stared intently at Cordelia.

But in the end, he maintained self-control and continued his lecture.

In this class, his attention was mostly on Cordelia.

He wanted to see just how long she could pretend to be indifferent.

Cordelia was sleeping through the whole class.

More accurately, she was pretending to sleep.

Throughout the class, she didn't give him any respect.

Fine, just fine.

She sure knew how to hold a grudge!

The colleagues at the back all had seen her, and they were all whispering, "Mr. Evans can't control

Cordelia."

Ronan's voice had changed a bit because he was suppressing his anger.

Sleeping in Ronan's class...

In the six-year history of Lumos Enterprises, Cordelia was the first!

Cordelia had made a new record that probably no one would ever break.

She had challenged Ronan's authority.

After class, Ronan knocked on Cordelia's desk and she sleepily opened her eyes.

"Come here," Ronan tried to maintain a good temper in front of all his colleagues.

After Ronan left, Brooklyn told Cordelia, "You're asking for trouble, you've pissed him off."

Cordelia then followed Ronan back to the office.
