Some guests exchanged impressed glances, while others
Raymond, stung by the barrage of mockery, decided to fire back. "You all should be ashamed," he retorted, his tone sharp as he addressed the group. "Cordelia may have a lot of money, but let's not forget that I have more than that in my accounts. This is just my current balance.”Sensing the tension escalating, the woman intervened, her voice firm as she sought to restore order to the room. "Let's all calm down, please," she urged, her tone commanding attention. "Regardless of individual balances, let's remember that this is meant to be a friendly competition."With a calming presence, she continued, "That being said, it's clear that Cordelia has emerged as the winner of this round.”As the woman announced Cordelia as the winner, a round of applause filled the place, with each guest showing their appreciation for Cordelia's victory. The sound of clapping hands echoed through the space. However, amidst the applause, Raymond remained conspicuously silent, his arms folded across his che
The woman nodded in agreement, recognizing the practicality of Cordelia's proposal. With a few taps on her phone, Cordelia swiftly transferred the 1 percent contributions from each guest to the woman's account."This way," Cordelia explained, "everyone can keep their funds intact. We've all enjoyed the evening, and these contributions can help cover the expenses of the event, such as the food, drinks, and other arrangements."Her considerate gesture was met with nods of appreciation from the guests, who were relieved to avoid the additional financial burden. The woman, touched by Cordelia's thoughtfulness and consideration, expressed her gratitude with a warm smile. "Thank you, Cordelia," she said sincerely, her voice carrying genuine appreciation. "Your generosity and foresight in handling this matter is truly commendable."With a nod of agreement from the other guests, the woman continued, "Your selflessness has ensured that everyone can enjoy the evening without any added financia
Benjamin grinned in response to Cordelia's question, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes. "I wanted to keep a low profile," he explained with a playful shrug. "Plus, there's a certain charm to classic cars, don't you think?”Cordelia's laughter subsided as she looked at Benjamin with gratitude shining in her eyes. "Thank you for sending me the money to win," she said softly, her hand reaching out to gently grasp his. "I'll transfer it back to you soon."Benjamin's smile widened at her words. "You can keep it," he replied, his voice gentle.Cordelia shook her head, her expression earnest. "No, Benjamin, that's a significant amount of money," she insisted, her fingers tightening around his hand. Without hesitation, she quickly initiated the transfer back to him. After that, he started the car and they drove off. So as Benjamin was driving, Cordelia couldn't contain the smile that graced her lips. "I prayed you were by my side," she confessed softly, her gaze fixed on the road ahead.
Benjamin heard the gentle splashes of water echoing from the bathroom, signaling Cordelia's indulgence in her shower. A soft smile graced his lips as he patiently awaited her return. After what seemed like an eternity, Cordelia emerged from the bathroom, a vision of ethereal beauty with a towel draped around her waist, showing her well endowed tits. Droplets of water glistened on her skin, tracing delicate paths down her curves as she gracefully settled onto the bed, using another towel to dry her hair.As she finished tending to her hair, she made a move to retrieve her clothes, but Benjamin, reclining on the bed, seized her hand and gently pulled her onto his chest. Cordelia's breath caught in her throat as she found herself lying on top of him, their bodies pressed closely together.Confusion flickered in Cordelia's eyes as she met Benjamin's gaze, her heart racing. "Wh..what..whats.. What's wrong?" she asked.Benjamin shook his head, a tender smile playing on his lips as he wrapp
Cordelia could see his genuine response through his eyes. She hugged him happily, relieved that the man she loved was still pure.Benjamin laughed happily too and buried his head around her neck, trailing it with kisses. "I promise it will be you alone, you alone I'll do anything with," he said.Cordelia nodded and said, "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you at first, so sor..."Before she could complete her sentence, he locked his lips with hers, resisting her from talking.As their kiss deepened, Benjamin's arm wrapped around Cordelia's thigh, pulling her closer to him. Their bodies pressed against each other, igniting a passionate fire between them. Cordelia's hands roamed over his back. As Benjamin's hands traced the curves of Cordelia's thighs, a soft, involuntary moan escaped her lips, a testament to the pleasure coursing through her body. She found herself unable to form words, lost in the sensation of his touch. Then, with a sudden surge of intensity, she let out a deeper, sharp
"No, it's fine. I'll do it later. I'm going to sleep now," Benjamin stated as he began changing the bedsheet.Observing Benjamin's actions, Cordelia felt a pang of guilt. She hadn't intended to dampen the mood.After finishing, Benjamin noticed Cordelia's remorseful expression. He smiled and affectionately kissed her cheek, asking, "What's with that expression? I'm perfectly fine."Cordelia, biting her lip, tentatively inquired, "Are you not mad at me?”With a warm smile, Benjamin reassured her, "No, not at all." Cordelia nodded in relief, then fetched a night robe and settled beside Benjamin, resting her head on his chest.Meanwhile, Rose had returned home and found her parents still awake. "You both aren't asleep? It's very late," she remarked.Marshall smiled and explained, "I'm working, and your mom insists on waiting for me." He then glanced around Rose and inquired about Cordelia's whereabouts.Rose sighed and replied, "She's out with some guy named Benjamin. They claim to be ol
Marshall cleared his throat before continuing, "There will be a board meeting at the office, discussing strategies to elevate the company to new heights."Cordelia nodded, processing the information. "When does it start?" she inquired."At exactly 8 PM," Marshall replied. "Would you like a driver to come and pick you up?"Cordelia glanced at the time. It was only 6:45 AM. "No, don't worry about that," she replied. "I'll be there.”After hanging up, Cordelia turned to Benjamin and noticed he was awake, gazing at her."Hey, you're awake," she greeted, climbing onto him.Benjamin smiled. "Good morning, hun. Of course, you were making calls, so I didn't want to interfere. Is everything alright?”Cordelia nodded and said, "Yes, everything is fine, just my uncle.""What did he do?" Benjamin asked."Nothing big, he just wants me to be present at a meeting happening today at the company," Cordelia explained."Oh, I see. You're going, right?" Benjamin inquired.Cordelia nodded, adding, "He has
