Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 278

'Ugh, why is he so fierce again?'

Cordelia looked at his terribly grim face and secretly teased.

Was he not usually well-mannered before? He had been moody lately and would glare at her and complain out of nowhere.

She pursed her lips and leaned on him as if she did not have a spine.

Zephyr smelled her faint fragrance and slowly lost his rage. He was no longer mad now.

Cordelia said softly. "Indeed, Neil asked about us. It was Mr. Smith who brought me in, after all. He's your subordinate, so we talked about the Hamterton Group investing in movies."

Zephyr merely gave a short response.

He had gotten Mr. Smith to say that.

Firstly, it was to raise her status so that the people at the studio would not dare to look down on her.

Secondly, it would hint at their relationship.

Neil was experienced. Naturally, he understood the hidden meaning. Therefore, he had asked her that during the interview.

And what did this lady say?

"I said nothing when he asked me that..." Cordelia smiled shyly and fended for herself. "Although I didn't admit it, I didn't deny it!"

"Oh." Zephyr looked at her as if he was in deep thought. "You didn't admit nor did you deny?"

"Mm-hmm!" Cordelia shoved her head into his embrace. "I gave him space for imagination!"

"You..."

Zephyr widened his eyes again.

What kind of a sugar-coated excuse was that!? She gave him space for imagination?

Cordelia realized that the situation was off, so she quickly grabbed his arm coquettishly and lay next to him. She apologized softly, "Okay, okay. I'm sorry... I admit that I have my pride. I don't want people to know that I got to interview Neil because of you."

She laid her head low and looked down, looking shy. She was especially beautiful in this angle.

Given her soft and sweet voice, Zephyr's heart melted.

He finally revealed a smile on his cold face and played with her hair.

"But I think it's not good for you for him to know too much. That's why I didn't tell him!"

His hand paused. The smile that had just risen dropped, and he frowned. "What do you mean?”

Cordelia revealed a playful and sly look as she said softly, "You keep a low profile in Centrolis. The media can't find you. If Neil seized the opportunity to get close to you, how could you stay low profile again?" Zephyr could not fight back. He looked at her while squinting a moment later. He had a look that made it uncertain whether he was smiling or not.

"So, you did that for my own good?"

"Mm-hmm!" Cordelia kept nodding.

“But I'm upset that I'm not acknowledged!" The man looked grim again.

Cordelia was careful as she read the atmosphere. "So, what can I do to make you feel more comfortable?"

Her soft voice and her innocent big eyes charmed him again.

He smirked, and a trace of gentleness flashed deep in his eyes. He looked at her for a while and suppressed the emotion he was feeling. He coughed and said. "Buy me something."

Cordelia nodded and smiled. "Okay!" She had promised to buy him leather shoes before.

"We'll buy leather shoes next time." He grinned. "I saw a tie at DL."

"What!?" Cordelia felt as if her head was hit by something.

DL was DreamLand, the number one shopping mall in Centrolis.

Not only was it sophisticated, but the decorations were dreamy, and the items they sold were expensive.

She had passed by the place a few times but never had the courage to go in.

"What's wrong?" Zephyr raised his eyebrows. "You said you'd take care of me for the rest of my life, yet you won't even buy me a tie now?"
