“What other schedule is there today?”
“There’s a talk with two variety show celebrities at 1:00 p.m., an internal company meeting at 2:30 p.m., and a
meeting with several important media companies from 3:10 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to reach a collaboration agreement.
“There’s also dinner with agents at 7:00 p.m. The hotel is booked at the city center, the top floor revolving
restaurant.”
Cordelia was well-organized and clear. It had only been days since she started working, but she was meticulous, all-
rounded, calm, and composed. Not only was she able to make appropriate arrangements for everything, but she
also crafted excellent proposals and was recognized for her skills.
Janine smiled in comfort, feeling that she had not chosen the wrong person.
Zephyr took a glance at Cordelia and felt bad.
She would leave hurriedly in the morning and often would not have time for breakfast. She would also stay up late

She could handle such a heavy workload but not him.
Zephyr coughed and said, “Mom, look at how tired Cordelia is. I will take her to the signing ceremony so that she
can relax a little. She’ll be able to work for the company better when she’s relaxed and rejuvenated, right?”
Cordelia was moved. She looked at Zephyr and smiled upon meeting eyes with him before quickly looking down.
Despite that, Janine had only heard half of what he said, up to “how tired Cordelia is”.
She asked softly, “Cordelia has work been tough?”
“No!” Cordelia answered with a smile, “I feel productive!”
Janine held her hand with an affectionate gaze. “My dear child, I work fast and hard, and I’m used to centering
around myself. I don’t quite care about what others feel sometimes. If you feel wronged somehow, don’t hold it in.
You’ve got to tell me!”
Cordelia shook her head with a smile and repeatedly assured her that she liked the working environment here and
had learned plenty of things from her.
Zephyr simply looked shocked.
Where did the Janine Baker, who frequently scolded her subordinates to the point of tears, go? Was she possessed?
Janine asked again, “Cordelia, do you want to go to the signing ceremony?”
Cordelia wanted to because she knew Nelly would be attending too. Once she was there, she would surely pester
Zephyr!
She bit her lips and found it hard to speak.
It was a surprise that Janine seemed to read her mind and looked at her like she was looking at her obedient,
adorable, precious daughter.
If her precious daughter wanted to take a breather from her busy schedule and had the urgent task of fending off a
love rival, how could she not let her go?
“Which day is the ceremony?” Janine asked with a smile.

“I don’t have much on Thursday. Go ahead!”
Cordelia widened her eyes.
Janine patted her head gently and grinned bright.
“Go, go. Have fun! Besides, the signing ceremonies of the Hamerton Group are usually quite elaborate in scale. It’s
good for you to be exposed too!”
“Mm!” Cordelia smiled.
Zephyr was dumbstruck.
Who was it who had said that half an hour off work was disallowed too? Who!? Why was Cordelia standing there
without saying anything more effective than him speaking so much?
“Huh? When did I turn the AC on? The fan’s too strong…” Janine looked at the ceiling and talked to herself.
Zephyr was standing just below the air vent, and his hair was messed up due to the cold wind.
“Take good care of Cordelia, you hear me?” Janine ordered him like usual, “Don’t stick so close to the Tanners!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless. He knew that retorting was useless and could only nod. When he looked up to see
Cordelia beaming with crescent eyes, he smiled as well. Anyway, he was happy to accept that he was not his
mother’s favorite!
