Chapter 198


    Once she arrived at the Audit Department, Cordelia looked around, checking for cameras, but saw


    none. She even asked Mna if there were any cameras.


    "Are you kidding me? Installing cameras would be a total invasion of privacy. Why would Mr. Evans


    ever do that?" Mna replied, "Wyatt reports everything to Mr. Evans."


    "So he''s like the town crier?" Cordelia was surprised.


    "Didn''t you notice how Wyatt was trying to calm things down when Manda came looking for trouble?"


    Mna asked Cordelia.


    "I wasn''t paying attention."


    "Then what were you preupied with?" Mna asked casually, already getting back to her work.


    Cordelia thought to herself: she was probably thinking about Jamie.


    Having been in the Audit Department for a while, she got the vibe that everyone knew everything, but


    they were all discreet and didn''t pry into other people''s business.


    "Mna, in your opinion, what kind of person is Ronan?" Although people from the Audit Department


    didn''t like prying into other people''s privacy, Cordelia''s question wasn''t about snooping. It was just a


    simple inquiry.


    "Do you think I would ever badmouth Mr. Evans right in front of you?" Mnaughed, "But he really is


    an excellent businessman. He is decisive, wise, steady, and very strategic. If he had a kid, they would


    definitely be amazing."


    Thest sentence was directed at Cordelia, which made her blush. Cordelia felt that the entire


    She documented the day''s happenings for future reference. At least she knew that others saw Ronan


    as a good guy.


    Around noon, before she had lunch, Cordelia received a message from Barney: [Cordelia, Ronan''s


    parents have arrived home. You might want to let Ronan know.]


    Cordelia wasn''t sure if she should tell Ronan about this. She also wasn''t sure how he might react.


    After some thought, she decided to tell Ronan in person.


    [Let''s have lunch together, honey.] Cordelia texted him.


    Probably Ronan knew something was up when Cordelia texted him like this. Soon after, the phone on


    Cordelia''s desk rang.


    "Come to my office."


    "Okay."


    Cordelia went downstairs.


    The assistant had already prepared a hearty meal for Ronan. He sat on the couch and motioned for


    Cordelia toe over.


    "Have they arrived?" Ronan asked Cordelia.


    Cordelia felt cornered, how did he know everything? She nodded, "Yes, how did you know?"


    "I guessed. Have you eaten yet?" he asked.


    "Not yet."


    "Come eat with me."


    Cordelia quietly went over and sat next to him. She felt that Ronan was a bit angry and didn''t speak.


    The two of them were silent for a long time; the atmosphere was a bit awkward.


    Among the dishes he ordered, there was a corn sweet soup that was very tasty. Cordelia kept drinking


    this soup, but he didn''t. "This soup is really good." Cordelia said, hoping to break the awkward silence.


    "Is it that good?" he asked.

    "You''ll know if you try it yourself." Cordelia pointed at the sweet soup and replied.


    Instead of getting the soup, Ronan slowly leaned towards Cordelia, gently lifted Cordelia''s chin, and


    started kissing her. He kissed her for a very long time. When he let go of Cordelia, he said earnestly,


    "This sweet soup is really good."


    Cordelia was stunned by his actions.


    "Is it not good?" Seeing Cordelia''s stunned expression, he asked Cordelia again.


    "It''s good." Cordelia finally responded as if she just snapped back to reality. She waspletely thrown


    off by Ronan''s kiss. His flirting skills were just too powerful. She even forgot why she came to his office


    in the first ce.
