Smiling gently, Marcus replied, “We’re going to the Regalia Hotel.”
Cordelia gulped, and the corner of her lips twitched.
‘Regalia Hotel again? Every time we go out to eat, he will certainly go to the Regalia Hotel.’
However, since he had just recovered from his injuries, Cordelia figured that she should just go along
with him.
After Cordelia changed her clothes, they went to the hotel.
Many people were going in and out of the Regalia Hotel, but strangely enough, nobody sat at the table
near the window.
As soon as they entered the hotel, the waiter enthusiastically led them to the table beside the window.
“Honey, isn’t this where we sat for the last two times?” Cordelia said, “They’re so attentive. We’ve only
been here twice, and they already know where we always sit.”
Marcus smiled but did not say anything. He glanced at the menu and handed it to the waiter while
exchanging glances.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe waiter could recognize Marcus. Knowing that he had a great relationship with Josiah, he hurriedly
went to inform the chefs at the back kitchen.
Soon, all of the dishes were served. When Cordelia tasted the dishes, she was amazed. She had a
sweet tooth. Although every dish was sweet, they were not too oily, and she liked them from the bottom
of her heart.
“A big hotel is indeed different!” exclaimed Cordelia. “Their service is fabulous! Does the chef
remember the preferences of each guest so well?”
Marcus looked at her silently and alluringly.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Huh?” Cordelia was stunned. She did not know when he realized it.
Marcus put the peeled crawfish meat onto her plate.
“Yeah…” Cordelia smiled embarrassingly. “I’ll be happy as long as there is good food!”
Marcus squinted and chuckled. “You’re so easy to satisfy.”
“Well, what else can I do?” She said with a pout, “Life goes on, and we shouldn’t dwell on our
misfortunes. Anyway, I’d rather spend my days happy than depressed!”
This was the correct attitude.
Marcus looked at her with a smile and slowly removed the fish’s bones.
While Cordelia was eating, she told Marcus about everything that happened in the company today.
“I think things like this will happen again in the future. I know her too well. Since we were young, she
has never liked the fact I am better than her. I’ve been tolerating her all these years, so she thinks I’m a
pushover.
“But starting from today, I’m done putting up with her,” Cordelia said as she put down the fork, her eyes
filled with determination. “She needs to know that not everything has to go the way she wants it to and
that she can insult me because I’m an illegitimate child! I can’t choose my parents, but it isn’t the
reason for her to insult me!”
“That’s right.” Marcus held her hand lightly. “No matter what you do, I’ll support you.”

“You might come into a lot of problems since you have to work with Yelena from now on.” Marcus said
sternly, “Cordelia, you shouldn’t force yourself if you can’t do it. If you really can’t take it anymore, you
can just resign. After all, I can—”
“It’s okay.” Cordelia smiled. “You can keep your money. You’re a man. It’ll be very embarrassing if you
don’t have any money when you go out with your friends.”
Marcus smiled dryly and said, “Honey, I…”
‘I don’t have to pay when I go out with my friends!’
“I won’t resign,” said Cordelia. “It took me a lot of effort to get to this position, so I won’t give it up so
easily. Don’t worry. I’ll control myself so that nothing will go out of control. All of us are adults. When life
throws us curveballs, we just have to accept it.”
Marcus grabbed her hand even tighter. After a short while, he said, “It’s my fault. If I could earn more
money, you wouldn’t have to go through all this.”
“What are you talking about? I can handle this.” Cordelia smiled. “By the way, we can’t work for other
people for our entire life. We need to have our own business!”
