Murphy took a deep breath and nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Zephyr. I’ll get this done properly!”
“Mm, I believe that you’re a wise man, Mr. Tanner. Then…” Zephyr sat back down with a sharp gaze. “Do it now!”
“What? Now!?”
“Yes.” Zephyr smirked. “Make the call before me and get your subordinates to do the job. If it’s not done today, I’ll have to ask you to stay the night in this club!”
…
Carter went back to studying at the University of Centrolis.
Cordelia appeared before Zephyr gloomily after she had tried every way she could and failed to secure an appointment to interview Neil.
Zephyr took her to the theme park.
The big place was cleared in advance, so the couple were the only ones there. All the rides were open only for her.
Zephyr held Cordelia’s hand to the merry-go-round. As she rose up and down on the back of the horse, accompanied by the dreamy music, she cheered up significantly.
The man hugged her from the back, and warm breaths puffed against her ear.
“Hard time at work?”
Cordelia nodded honestly.
Zephyr replied with a smile, “Tell me about it.”
Cordelia leaned her head against the wooden horse and looked at the faraway Ferris wheel with bright eyes. She chuckled bitterly after a moment of silence.
“I stayed up late to draft the interview outline, waited three consecutive nights at his filming location, and asked the seniors to recommend me… I did everything I could, but…”
“Neil Harris still refuses to see you?”
His gaze was loving as he tucked her hair behind her ear.
“How fierce is his assistant? Take me there, and let me see!”
…
In the afternoon, Cordelia took Zephyr to Neil’s studio.
The reception assistant did not know who Zephyr was but could recognize Cordelia and mocked her. “Here again, dear reporter? Hah, you brought a bodyguard with you this time?”
Cordelia did not mind and asked with a smile, “Is Mr. Harris still busy?”
“You’re really something!” The assistant rolled her eyes. “I told you, he’s busy, very busy! Do you not understand?
“Besides, someone of Neil’s status isn’t for you to interview! Take a look in the mirror. Know what you are first!”
