My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 139

Jordan could tell that Cory, as a businessman, had little in common with a jobless man like him.

However, he wanted to get to know Victoria through Jordan.

Jordan said, "No problem. When are you coming back to Orlando? I'll invite you and Miss Clarke for a meal together."

Cory said, "Give me a moment while I check my schedule. The earliest I can return is the day after tomorrow."

Jordan said, "Cory, can you not tell your wife about your return to Orlando for now?"

Baffled, Cory asked, "Why? I'll have to report to her in advance every time I come home from a business trip. Otherwise, she'll be upset."

"My wife loves me very much, and she'll come to the airport to pick me up whenever I'm back. She said that she enjoys the feeling of welcoming her husband home."

Jordan sneered. 'Oh Cory, you fool, you've been kept in the dark for so many years, and you're still clueless!"

'Why did your wife ask you to tell her in advance?'

'That's because she has a lover in Orlando! She's afraid that you would make a surprise appearance and catch them red-handed!'

At this moment, Jordan was reminded of himself in the past. Back then, he was just as foolish as Cory.

He had obviously been betrayed, but he still believed

that his wife loved him.

He worked hard to earn money to support his family while his wife fooled around with men!

Jordan said, "Here's the thing, I have a set of Baccarat Crystal glasses that was launched in France a few days ago, and it's currently not available in the country yet."

"1 know Rachel has always liked Baccarat Crystal, and she enjoys hosting cocktail parties too. She'll definitely like this gift box set of Baccarat crystal glasses."

"You can take it home and give her a surprise. She'll surely be thrilled."

In fact, Cory had also long thought of giving his wife a surprise.

Cory thought about it and said, "Jordan, how thoughtful of you to bring me a gift, is there something you need my help with?"

"Actually, we've known each other for three years. You don't have to be so formal with me. I won't look down on you just because you are not the president of a company now. I'm not such a snob."

Jordan smiled and said, "Let's talk about the details when we meet the day after tomorrow."

Two days later, Cory flew to Orlando without informing Rachel in advance.

He headed straight to a restaurant after coming out from the airport.

On the other hand, Jordan and Victoria were already waiting in the private room.

"Thank you for being willing to come out for a meal with me and Cory, Victoria."

Jordan deliberately invited Victoria here because his current status wasn't enough for Cory to be willing to meet him for a meal.

Victoria was wearing a very ordinary white T-shirt today, probably from H&M, and a pair of shorts and flats.

She was dressed like a teenager today and thus didn't seem as aggressive or domineering as usual.

She had deliberately dressed like this because she didn't want to steal the limelight.

Otherwise, if she were to dress the way she normally would, she would stand out and make Jordan seem like nothing more than just an accessory since she was older than him and was now the president of a company.

Now, she looked like his girlfriend.

Victoria drank a mouthful of tea and said with a smile, "I'll dine with anyone. I have to thank you for the treat."
