Chapter 42

An all–too–familiar profile picture and name popped up in the chat group.

He scrolled through the conversation, and his fingers hesitated when he read Stanton had introduced Cordelia as Louie’s good friend

He snorted softly then continued reading

The last message from Cordelia in the group was a greeting from five minutes ago, left hanging without a

response.

Her gaze darkened.

Sure, the group was all mavericks, leaders in their fields, with a bit of pride, which was understandable.

But his girl being ignored? That wasn’t going to fly

After five minutes without a reply, Stanton tried to figure out how to suggest to Cordelia that she might leave the group without hurting her feelings when suddenly his direct messages exploded.

[What’s going on? Who is this person?]

[Who is she?]

[Is she some hidden big shot?]

[Stop keeping her identity a secret from us!]

Stanton had no idea what to do.

Puzzled, he read through everyone’s messages and saw someone had finally posted in the group. With a sense of curiosity, he checked the group chat only to find a message from

NoInterruptions, saying. [Welcome to the group. Let’s learn from each other.]

The message from this particular member left Stanton stunned, almost dropping his phone. This person had spoken only twice since the creation of the group, and each time he appeared, someone would disappear from the group the following day, never to be heard from again.

And at this moment, the big shot had spoken for the third time, only to welcome Lia to the group.

Since when did new members get the welcome like this?
