It was Cordelia’s off day today. Even though it was her rest day, she was still busy. Proposals and reports surged into her email like a wave. Her phone and laptop were never free since early in the morning.

Helen brought her breakfast that had been heated up for the third time.

“Ms. Cordelia, have breakfast first!” Helen was anxious. “It’s already 9:00 a.m. It might as well be lunch if you keep delaying it!”

Cordelia’s eyes were on the screen as she replied in passing, “Mm… I know. Leave it here first. I still have a few words in the agreement to edit…”

“You said the same the last time I brought it up!”

Helen pouted and passed the congee to her, standing in front of her.

“Mr. Zephyr told me personally to watch you finish it this time!”

“Huh?” It took Cordelia a while to tear her gaze off the screen. “Zephyr… isn’t home?”

“No!” Helen smiled. “He told you when he left. He had an emergency in the office, so he had to go and take care of it!”

“Oh, I forgot…”

“You didn’t forget. You were just too busy that you didn’t hear him!”

Cordelia chuckled in embarrassment. Her ears did tend to mute themselves when she got busy.

She took the congee from Helen. It was just nice in taste and warmth, fragrant with chicken and grains. She actually felt hungry and slurped it down.

Helen then passed her some waffles, which she wolfed down instantly.

Hellen smiled, watching her from the side. “Your appetite’s great… Is it good news?”

Cordelia choked from the question and coughed violently.

“Aunt Helen, not funny!” She winced. “I just had my period! No good news!”
