Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 41

“Linda? What’s wrong?”

Cordelia was afraid that Linda had accidentally burned herself as she took so long in the kitchen, so she got up to check on her. Unexpectedly, Linda was giggling at the pot of soup like a mad woman.

“This is…” Cordelia froze. This was the scent she had been smelling since she got up in the morning!

Linda held back her laughter and looked at her with a meaningful gaze. “Don’t react too badly if I tell you, okay?”

“What’s the matter?”

“So all these are herbs…” Linda picked up some ingredients and explained, “These are ginseng slices, this is black fungus, these are fennels…

“The rest are common. You know them too. Goji berries, ginger…”

Cordelia was confused. “What are these for? Why did Marcus make this soup for me?”

“These enhance women’s libido!” Linda kept giggling. “Lucky, you haven’t consumed any. One bowl and I promise you’ll be insatiable like a starved wolf. Marcus wouldn’t be your rival!”

Cordelia was stunned before she blushed.

“So, what’s up with him?” Linda hooked an arm around Cordelia’s neck. “You’re having your period, yet he wants you active and wild at night?”

“Linda!” Cordelia glared at her and stopped her from saying more.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop.” Linda helped her back to bed.

Whatever Marcus’ intention was, the bowl of nourishing soup was not Cordelia’s to take. Linda made her some honey water.

She was just a meager salesperson and had not met a higher executive like Michael much. She did not know what he was like either. Despite that, she had often heard the seniors in the office saying that the man was cultured and polite. He was easy to get along with and was not completely biased in favor of Karine.

“Maybe Mr. Johnson values those capable and not those who are family?” Linda looked at her. “Two veterans in the sales department left and took many clients with them. This is the time the company needs talented people. Cordelia, maybe this is an opportunity!”

Cordelia pressed her lips together and stayed silent.

She remembered what Marcus had taught her. When she was unsure about something or someone, she could put herself in their shoes to consider the matter.

“Linda,” Cordelia uttered softly. “If you were a big shareholder in the company and your niece got hit by an employee, would you promote that employee without a care of what happened?

“If that employee is capable, do you think they’ll be your niece’s ally or enemy?”
