Chapter 103
Smiling gently, Marcus replied, “We're going to the Regalia Hotel.”
Cordelia gulped, and the corner of her lips twitched.
“Regalia Hotel again? Every time we go out to eat, he will certainly go to the
Regalia Hotel.”
However, since he had just recovered from his injuries, Cordelia figured that she
should just go along with him.
After Cordelia changed her clothes, they went to the hotel.
Many people were going in and out of the Regalia Hotel, but strangely enough,
nobody sat at the table near the window.
As soon as they entered the hotel, the waiter enthusiastically led them to the
table beside the window.
“Honey, isn’t this where we sat for the last two times?” Cordelia said, “They're so
attentive. We've only been here twice, and they already know where we always
sit.”
Marcus smiled but did not say anything. He glanced at the menu and handed it to
the waiter while exchanging glances.
The waiter could recognize Marcus. Knowing that he had a great relationship
with Josiah, he hurriedly went to inform the chefs at the back kitchen.
Soon, all of the dishes were served. When Cordelia tasted the dishes, she was
amazed. She had a sweet tooth. Although every dish was sweet, they were not
too oily, and she liked them from the bottom of her heart.
“A big hotel is indeed different!” exclaimed Cordelia. “Their service is fabulous!
Does the chef remember the preferences of each guest so well?”
Marcus looked at her silently and alluringly.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Huh?” Cordelia was stunned. She did not know when he realized it.
Marcus put the peeled crawfish meat onto her plate.
“Yeah...” Cordelia smiled embarrassingly. “I'll be happy as long as there is good
food!”
Marcus squinted and chuckled. “You're so easy to satisfy.”
“Well, what else can I do?” She said with a pout, “Life goes on, and we shouldn't
dwell on our misfortunes. Anyway, I'd rather spend my days happy than
depressed!”
This was the correct attitude.
Marcus looked at her with a smile and slowly removed the fish's bones.
While Cordelia was eating, she told Marcus about everything that happened in
the company today.
“I think things like this will happen again in the future. I know her too well. Since
we were young, she has never liked the fact I am better than her. I've been
tolerating her all these years, so she thinks I'm a pushover.
“But starting from today, I'm done putting up with her,” Cordelia said as she put
down the fork, her eyes filled with determination. “She needs to know that not
everything has to go the way she wants it to and that she can insult me because
I'm an illegitimate child! I can’t choose my parents, but it isn’t the reason for her
to insult me!”
“That's right.” Marcus held her hand lightly. “No matter what you do, I'll support
you.”
Cordelia grinned and continued to eat the food.
“You might come into a lot of problems since you have to work with Yelena from
now on.” Marcus said sternly, “Cordelia, you shouldn't force yourself if you can’t
do it. If you really can’t take it anymore, you can just resign. After all, I can—"
“It's okay.” Cordelia smiled. “You can keep your money. You're a man. It'll be very
embarrassing if you don’t have any money when you go out with your friends.”
Marcus smiled dryly and said, “Honey, I...”
“I don’t have to pay when I go out with my friends!”
“I won't resign,” said Cordelia. “It took me a lot of effort to get to this position, so I
won't give it up so easily. Don’t worry. I'll control myself so that nothing will go out
of control. All of us are adults. When life throws us curveballs, we just have to
accept it.”
Marcus grabbed her hand even tighter. After a short while, he said, “It's my fault.
If 1 could earn more money, you wouldn't have to go through all this.”
“What are you talking about? I can handle this.” Cordelia smiled. “By the way, we
can’t work for other people for our entire life. We need to have our own
business!”
