“Why are you glaring at me?” Cordelia was exasperated by how he looked.

“Cordelia, you…”

Zephyr did not know how to continue his sentence. Should his tone be hard or soft? Should he act tough or negotiate with her? How was he supposed to be more indirect when he talked to her, and how should he mull over his word choice…

Zephyr pursed his lips, and his originally cold face looked darker.

“Alright, I know what you want to say.” Cordelia smiled and intertwined their fingers together as she looked at him innocently.

“This is your mom’s instruction. To sign Neil to our company no matter what. We have to agree no matter how harsh his conditions are.”

“Why?” Zephyr suddenly raised his voice.

Cordelia was startled and stared at him dumbly.

Zephyr coughed. “I mean… There isn’t just one award-winning actor in showbiz. Why must it be him?”

If it were possible, he would chase Neil out of the entertainment industry!

“Yeah, there are plenty of award-winning actors, but one who can act, has popularity, and has a huge amount of fans… There’s only him!”

Zephyr really wanted to roll his eyes.

“Before the company became Imperial Media, it hadn’t been doing much. It was under the Hamerton Group, but it wasn’t managed to its potential,” Cordelia said softly. “Imperial Media’s just starting to come up now, but it’s no rival against its peers…

“So we really need someone significant to represent the company!”

Zephyr stayed silent.

Cordelia knew that this meant he was angry but was holding it in.

Her voice was very soft. “Zephyr, I’m meeting Neil for work. You wouldn’t be so petty, right?”
