Chapter 334


    PrimeBuild Contractors needed to bnce their books, and they knew that Cordelia handledst year’s


    ounts.


    Those ounts were from her previous job, and if Cordelia released them, she would be viting


    professional ethics, and possibly even leaking corporate secrets. It couldnd her in hot water.


    Still, Cordelia found it hard to believe that Will and Hunter, who had practically groveled when they


    handed over the ounts to Lumos Enterprises, would use this to threaten her.


    Cordelia dialed up Ronan.


    "Mr. Evans," she began.


    "It''s only been a few minutes, and you miss me already?" he teased.


    "No, is it true that PrimeBuild Contractors always wanted to coborate with Lumos Enterprises?"


    Cordelia asked.


    She remembered from her visit to PrimeBuild Contractors the previous year how fawning Will had been


    over Ronan. They were both in construction, but PrimeBuild mostly handled subcontracting work. They


    had been keen to score projects for Lumos Enterprises but had always been left hanging.


    "Yes, they weren''t qualified enough, so I rejected them."


    "Got it." With that, Cordelia hung up.


    Now she understood why PrimeBuild Contractors were acting this way. They were likely hoping to use


    this information as leverage to secure a coboration with Lumos Enterprises. It was child''s y, really.


    "Mna, tell them we don''t havest year''s financial data. If they want aparison, let them pull up


    their own statements. I can''t release the ounts I prepared for themst year at a differentpany.


    It''s against professional principles," Cordelia said.


    "See, I knew there was something fishy going on. We need to get to the bottom of this. I''ll call them


    now." With that, Mna dialed up Hunter. If they wanted topare, they would need to provide their


    own ounts.


    Hunter sounded apologetic. "Oh, oh, oh, I forgot Cordelia is now working at Lumos Enterprises."


    Hunter then called Will, who berated him. "You''re the one who came up with this rotten idea! You


    couldn''te up with a legit n, so you tried to exploit someone else! I hope Ronan doesn''t see


    through our scheme. Otherwise, dream about coborating with Lumos Enterprises! I''m docking you a


    month''s pay!"


    Hunter could only swallow his frustration. He could only hope that Cordelia wouldn''t see through their


    scheme. If she did, she would definitely tell Ronan.


    "I''ll call Mr. Evanster and exin this mess! You''re more trouble than you''re worth!" Will grumbled at


    Hunter.


    Hunter was left to swallow his bitter pill in silence.

    Meanwhile, Cordelia heaved a sigh of relief.


    Mna had pulled Cordelia in because of the PrimeBuild Contractors issue. Once it was resolved,


    Cordelia was free, and Mna didn''t assign her any further tasks.


    It was alreadyte in the month, and she didn''t dare to assign more.


    Cordelia nned to head home with Ronan that afternoon, so she settled down on a couch and started


    scrolling through her phone.


    After making a call, Mna asked Cordelia, "What time are you leaving this afternoon?"


    "I''m not sure. Why?"


    "I was hoping to hitch a ride with you to the set of ''The High Society.'' I remember it''s on your way


    home. I didn''t drive today. I took a cab," Mna exined.


    "No problem, I''ll go with you. I''m done with my tasks anyway," Cordelia said, thinking, “I''ll have Tristi


    drop me off at home first. I won''t go home with Ronan today.”


    Just then, a message from Ronan popped up. [Come down.]


    "Mna, he''s looking for me. I''ll be back," Cordelia told Mna.


    "Him? Who?"


    "Ronan."


    Mna chuckled, "Cordelia, you always refer to Mr. Evans as ''him.'' It always takes me a moment to


    realize who you''re talking about. Okay, just let me know when you''re leaving."


    Cordelia nodded in acknowledgment.
