Chapter 122 Scheming

I know you guys drove here today, so I won’t urge you to drink alcohol. Instead, Delia, use this drink as a substitute and raise a toast to Mr. Gage,” Penny said, pulling out a large bottle of orange juice from under the table and pouring a glass for Cordelia.

Cordelia rose from her seat without hesitation and addressed Philip with a respectful tone, “Allow me to offer a toast to you, Mr. Gage, and express my sincere gratitude for this valuable opportunity.”

Philip acknowledged her gesture with a nod. He had a strange expression as he watched Cordelia finish

Penny’s face immediately lit up with excitement. She had been hoping for Emrys to suggest that.

There was clearly something wrong with the drink.

In fact, when Philip first saw Cordelia’s profile, he had instantly gotten perverse thoughts. A woman who looked so beautiful in minimal makeup would surely be even more stunning in person.

Reality had proven his assumption to be correct. However, Philip decided to be strategic. Instead of immediately expressing his interest in her, he cleverly declined Cordelia’s initial request for a meeting, opting to set a test for her instead.
