Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 47

There had been no progress on the project the past few days. Cordelia and Annie could not even get into the Bayer Group.

The latter was discouraged. She squatted by the road, defeated.

The scorching sun was burning. The heat was enough to agitate.

Cordelia fetched her a bottle of water with a smile. “Let’s have lunch somewhere. We’ll try again in the afternoon.”

“It’s useless, Cordelia.” Annie’s voice sounded dispirited. “Seems like Jesse was telling the truth. It’s hard to conquer the Centrolis market. We’ve been here for so many days. Mr. Bayer aside, we haven’t been able to meet the mere person in charge!

“I suggest that we give up…” Annie pouted. “I don’t know how long we will have to wait if this goes on!”

“Don’t say that!” Cordelia was optimistic. “You've been in sales for two years now. You should know that closing the sales from one meeting is impossible. As soon as we have the slightest chance to deliver our proposal, it’ll be a big step for us!”

“But we don’t even have the chance to do that!”

Just as Annie was done complaining, she saw a black luxury car driving toward the building’s entrance. Some ten security guards lifted their spirits as they ran over to welcome the person.

A young man got out of the car. He looked like a celebrity. He had the arrogance coming from a prestigious family.

Annie recognized that he was Josiah Bayer and patted Cordelia’s arm in excitement.

“It’s Mr. Bayer!” Her eyes lit up. “Wow, he’s even more good-looking than in pictures. He’s so handsome and cool… Hah, seems like Jesse was truthful about that as well!”

Cordelia rolled her eyes at her.

She was not a fanatic like Annie. She knew she could not miss this opportunity!

If they could hand the proposal to Mr. Bayer directly, it would be more useful than scheduling hundreds of appointments.

Cordelia gnashed her teeth and sprinted forward!

However, the tall security guards around blocked her right away. They were used to these fanatic girls. They assumed she was some fangirl throwing herself at their boss again, so they made a wall and blocked Cordelia out.

“Sir, I have something urgent to talk to Mr. Bayer about…”

“Miss, everyone who comes for Mr. Bayer says the same thing!”

“That’s not it!” Cordelia flushed as she panicked. “I have a sales proposal. It won’t take too much of Mr. Bayer’s time. I only need five minutes… I can do it in three minutes. I can explain it if he doesn’t want to look at it!”

The guards looked at each other and smiled. They worked perfectly together as they held Cordelia on each side outside of the building. They let go simultaneously, almost dropping her on all fours.

Annie got up immediately to help her up. She reasoned with the guards in rage.

“Miss, please stop this!” The guards were rendered speechless. “This trick is so old. Can you come up with something new?”

“All girls are trying to get ahead by marrying rich men nowadays!” Someone teased. “Hah. Miss, if you really want to marry rich, the Hamertons are doing a wife search tonight. There will be rich men at the dinner. Our boss will be there too. Don’t miss it!”

“Eh, can they get in? Haha…” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Cordelia was stunned. She went over, limping. “Sir, where is the dinner?”

The guards gave her a helpless and scornful look.

“The Splendor Dynasty! Hah, all the best, young lady!”

Cordelia ignored their disdain and memorized the hotel's name in all seriousness.

She squeezed the proposal in her hand. The confident and optimistic smile appeared on her pretty face again.

Josiah heard the commotion behind faintly. He instinctively turned his head to look the moment before he stepped into the building.

Forget it that he did not look. Now that he had, his mind went blank, and he froze where he was.

“W-What happened?”

“I think the two ladies wanted to see you,” the assistant said softly. “But the guards chased them out.”

Josiah had his eyes widened, feeling a chill on his back. He was getting goosebumps.

He took out his phone to call Marcus right away.

“Mr. Z, your wife is in Centrolis. But I don’t know why she came here to see me… Umm, should I meet her or not?”
