Cordelia had just taken her shower, and her hair was still wet. When she came out of the bathroom, she smelled nice. Cordelia smiled at Zephyr, and the latter felt that his world had turned so much more radiant.

"Why are you back so late?" Cordelia went to him and circled her arms around his hips. "I'll make some supper for you!" "No need, I'm not hungry." Zephyr's gaze was deep, while his voice was deep, husky, and captivating.

Cordelia's clothes draped over her softly, and the fabric looked velvety under the light.

Zephyr was slightly dazed, feeling like a small beast was awakening within him.

"What's wrong?" asked Cordelia.

He smiled without a word. Seeing that her hair was still dripping water, he went to the bathroom for the hair dryer and asked Cordelia to sit down comfortably on the couch before he stood behind her to blow her hair.

The pair of hands that was powerful and strong in fights was always endlessly gentle when it came to her.

Cordelia was slowly lulled to sleep due to the warm wind. She closed her eyes lightly and felt Zephyr's hand on her shoulder when the hair dryer stopped.

She grabbed his hand with a smile, and both intertwined their fingers when their hands touched.

Zephyr pulled her up to hug her.

"Sleepy?" His smile was warm and indulging. He gently carried her bridal style back to the bedroom and laid her in bed. He then got on top...

Cordelia's face was red like a ripe peach, taunting Zephyr to pluck it. He was just going to kiss her when she suddenly remembered something and shoved him away. Before Zephyr could react, the person in his arms was gone!

"Cordelia, you..."

"I have something to show you!" Cordelia's mind was clearly not on the same page as his.

Zephyr punched the bed with a sigh and forced a smile when Cordelia turned around. "Show me what?"

"This!"

Cordelia passed a document to him with a triumphant smile.

Zephyr paused. It was Chad's details when he went through it.

"You investigated him?"

"Yeah!"

Zephyr did not expect her to act faster than him.

"Look closely," Cordelia asked him to flip to the last page. "I didn't think much into it when I asked for him to be investigated, but I actually got something!"

The last two pages of the document were a whistleblowing letter. Seven people had signed it-young directors who had not gone famous-and they were reporting on the film Chad won an award for. Many scenes from Chad's film had come from editing and joining the works of these people!

"This guy..." Zephyr scoffed.

Even if he was stealing, he should at least change it up and be more technical about it! Chad here had just used them straight.

The judges abroad were also dodgy. Did they not look into the films before they judged?

Zephyr closed the document and snickered.

"I've long suspected that something's wrong with Chad." Cordelia sat down beside him. "Mr. Smith said that he got lucky to win the international award. Hah, lucky? More like bullsh*t!"

It was extremely rare for Zephyr to hear something like this coming from Cordelia, so he could not help laughing.

"Darling, how did you think of looking this guy up?"
