Chapter 41


    “Linda? What’s wrong?”


    Cordelia was afraid that Linda had identally burned herself as she took so long in the kitchen, so


    she got up to check on her. Unexpectedly, Linda was giggling at the pot of soup like a mad woman.


    “This is…” Cordelia froze. This was the scent she had been smelling since she got up in the


    morning!


    Linda held back herughter and looked at her with a meaningful gaze. “Don’t react too badly if I tell


    you, okay?”


    “What’s the matter?”


    “So all these are herbs…” Linda picked up some ingredients and exined, “These are ginseng


    slices, this is ck fungus, these are fennels…


    “The rest aremon. You know them too. Goji berries, ginger…”


    Cordelia was confused. “What are these for? Why did Marcus make this soup for me?”


    “These enhance women’s libido!” Linda kept giggling. “Lucky, you haven’t consumed any. One bowl


    and I promise you’ll be insatiable like a starved wolf. Marcus wouldn’t be your rival!”


    Cordelia was stunned before she blushed.


    “So, what’s up with him?” Linda hooked an arm around Cordelia’s neck. “You’re having your period,


    yet he wants you active and wild at night?”


    “Linda!” Cordelia red at her and stopped her from saying more.


    “Alright, alright, I’ll stop.” Linda helped her back to bed.


    Whatever Marcus’ intention was, the bowl of nourishing soup was not Cordelia’s to take. Linda


    made her some honey water.


    “Oh yeah, I have something serious to tell you.”

    Cordelia grew nervous seeing Linda reel in her smile and put on a serious expression. “What’s the


    matter?”


    “I passed by Mr. Johnson’s office this morning and heard him talking to Karine. You were


    mentioned.”


    Cordelia’s face fell.


    Michael Johnson was Karine’s uncle, a major shareholder in thepany. She had hit Karine the


    other day, and thetter must haveined about her to her uncle.


    She would not get to stay in thepany now, but she had yet to send out her resume. She also


    had a few cases on hand…


    “Don’t get nervous now.” Linda patted the back of Cordelia’s hand. “I was quite surprised when I


    heard the conversation. Karine kept badmouthing you, but Mr. Johnson said nothing. He praised


    your capabilities at work instead and sounded like he wanted to promote you to the sales team


    leader!”


    “What did you say?” Cordelia widened her eyes and was instantly puzzled.


    She was just a meager salesperson and had not met a higher executive like Michael much. She did


    not know what he was like either. Despite that, she had often heard the seniors in the office saying


    that the man was cultured and polite. He was easy to get along with and was notpletely biased


    in favor of Karine.


    “Maybe Mr. Johnson values those capable and not those who are family?” Linda looked at her. “Two


    veterans in the sales department left and took many clients with them. This is the time thepany


    needs talented people. Cordelia, maybe this is an opportunity!”


    Cordelia pressed her lips together and stayed silent.


    She remembered what Marcus had taught her. When she was unsure about something or


    someone, she could put herself in their shoes to consider the matter.


    “Linda,” Cordelia uttered softly. “If you were a big shareholder in thepany and your niece got hit


    by an employee, would you promote that employee without a care of what happened?


    “If that employee is capable, do you think they’ll be your niece’s ally or enemy?”
