Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 283

Cordelia found a comfortable couch and planned to rest for a bit, only to see someone sitting at a nearby table and playing cards in concentration. She focused and saw that it was actually… Neil? Why was he here!?

While she was dazed, Neil spotted her as well and smiled at her. He then got up, approached her, and sat down next to her directly.

“Hi!” Cordelia sat up straight, looking a little nervous.

There was a nice fragrance on Neil. Coupled with his gorgeous features, it accentuated his grace.

“Hello,” Neil greeted with a smile. “I didn’t expect to meet you here. Are you here for interviews today too?”

“It’s enough that Mr. Thompson is there.” Neil smiled and pulled a card from her hand, looking at them. “Put this down first, and I’ll tell you what to do next.”

Cordelia followed what he said and went step by step. His explanation was unlike her mother’s. When he explained it in simple terms, she actually felt enlightened.

“So, I should put this down now?” Cordelia tried.

“Correct!” Neil nodded in approval.

Encouraged, Cordelia thought hard about the next step.
