The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 285

The next day, Ronan was already out of bed when Cordelia awoke. He called her around eleven in the morning. "Still in bed?" He asked.

"No, I'm up. What's up?" Cordelia asked.

"I left some merger paperwork in my room, along with a flash drive. Can you grab them for me?" Ronan requested.

"Can't someone else do it?" Cordelia, heavily pregnant and feeling lethargic, wasn't particularly keen on moving.

"No, Janice wouldn't know where to look." Ronan said.

Cordelia messaged Tristi and then went to retrieve the documents from Ronan's room. She arrived at Lumos Enterprises and asked Tristi, "Could you take this up to him?"

Remembering a previous conversation she had overheard in the restroom, Cordelia wasn't exactly eager to go up herself. Plus, she had no intentions of working at Lumos Enterprises in the future, so there was no need for her to make her presence known just yet.

"Oh, ma'am, Mr. Evans specifically asked for you to deliver it personally. I'd accompany you, but I have to fetch something from elsewhere." Tristi said.

Left with no choice, Cordelia took the documents and went up herself.

Ronan was in the middle of a meeting. The boardroom was filled with executives. Cordelia knocked on the boardroom door. A stern "Come in" ushered her into the room.

The gaze of the room's occupants fell on her. Cordelia felt a pang of discomfort, made worse by her prominent belly.

Ronan sat at the head of the table. Cordelia handed him the documents, "The paperwork you forgot."

Noticing the look on Cordelia's face, Ronan gave her a light slap on the backside, "Still sulking over last night?"

"No, not at all." Cordelia hastened to say.

"Tristi's left. Go wait in my office. We'll have lunch together." Ronan said.

Cordelia frowned slightly, wondering what was Ronan playing at. She suspected Ronan had purposely asked her to come to make a point to everyone., to show them that the baby was definitely his! Otherwise, he would've discarded Cordelia by now. Instead, their relationship seemed to be going strong. This was his way of clearing his name.

Moreover, he emphasized the phrase last night in front of everyone. This sent the executives' imaginations running wild.

After leaving the office, Cordelia thought to herself that, with Tristi gone, she had no way of going back to Garden Estates alone. Even taking a taxi didn't seem safe to her.

His office door was unlocked, so Cordelia went in.
