Marcus chuckled a little bit over the phone.

However, the meaning of it was unclear. Josiah could not figure out why he did that, so he braced himself by asking, “Mr. Z… Why did she come to me? For work?”

Marcus paused. Upon recalling Cordelia had been researching Josiah the entire night, the uneasiness he felt came rushing back.

“Because you’re good-looking!” He hung up the phone after saying that angrily.

Josiah spent the entire day in fear.

In the end, he decided to wait. He would wait to see what Cordelia would do next and would play it by ear then.

Later on, Cordelia waited at the Splendor Dynasty’s entrance on her own.

The building, as magnificent as a castle, was lit bright tonight. It was extraordinarily lively. There were luxury cars parked everywhere on the property. Some people landed their private helicopters on the helipad behind the hotel.

Those who were invited were of high status.

Cordelia’s plain outfit did not fit in the event at all.

She tried her best to hide behind the pillar to avoid the crowd. Nevertheless, she would look around every now and then, worried that she may have missed Josiah.

However, everyone dressed in elegant dazzle here, while all luxury cars looked almost the same. It was rather tough to find someone among them.
