Cherished By Seven Sisters

Cordelia was absolutely petrified and humiliated. After Emrys helped her gallantly, Cordelia had come to view him in an entirely different light. She was no longer averse to the idea of becoming friends with him even though he wasn’t her little brother. That was why she had talked to him. Never in her wildest dreams did she know he’d do this to her. She felt as if she had escaped from a pack of wolves but ended up in the tiger’s den. Cordelia struggled to free herself, but she stopped in shock at the sight displayed before her. Emrys had a secret. There was a birthmark shaped like a bolt of purple lightning on his inner thigh. Everyone in the orphanage knew about it, including his seven sisters. Upon seeing the bolt of purple lightning, Cordelia immediately knew that the young man was none other than Emrys, whom she had last met fifteen years ago. “I can’t believe it’s you, Rys! I thought I’d never see you again!” Cordelia leaped to her feet and flung her arms around Emrys, her b*dy shaking with emotion as tears streamed down her cheeks. Emrys’ nose stung, too. Nothing has changed. Delia is still the same person. Fifteen years later, we’re still as close as ever instead of growing distant. Feeling touched, Emrys swore to do his best to protect her. Something doesn’t feel right. Soon, Emrys realized what was wrong. He chuckled bitterly and said, “Delia, let me put on my pants.” Cordelia’s cheeks flushed red as she shot him a glare. “Why are you shy? It’s not like I haven’t seen you n*ked before.” “Delia, there’s someone else here,” Emrys reminded her. “Oh!” Cordelia belatedly realized that they weren’t alone. She hurriedly ran over to check on Simon and discovered he was still unconscious. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. Simon was completely oblivious to the fact that he had missed out on a priceless scene. The engine of the Porsche 911 roared to life again. This time, Emrys was the driver, while Cordelia occupied the passenger seat. It had been years since they last met, so they naturally had a lot to talk about. Cordelia was filled with a burning curiosity to discover how Emrys had managed to escape the fire and where he had been for the last fifteen years. Emrys recounted his past to her but didn’t mention anything about spending five years at war. Instead, he told her he had spent the last fifteen years cultivating with the elderly friar on the mountain. After listening to his story, Cordelia gave him a look. “Are you telling me a fairytale?” Naturally, she refused to believe his story, as it sounded ridiculous. Despite his best efforts, he could do nothing to convince Cordelia and was left feeling

deflated. Fortunately, Cordelia didn’t press on. She said excitedly, “I wonder how the other ladies will feel when they discover that you’re still alive and have grown into a handsome young lad.” Emrys chuckled. “Keep this a secret from them. I want to surprise them one by one.” “What a naughty boy,” Cordelia said as a knowing smile flitted across her lips. Time flew by quickly as they chatted nonstop. Before they knew it, they had arrived at Cordelia Group. Everyone was astonished to see the two of them entering the Cordelia Group building while cheerfully conversing with each other. They had never seen the ice queen being that intimate with another man. It was a heartbreaking sight. Countless people were destined to have sleepless nights ahead of them. The first thing Cordelia did after returning to her office was to fire Zachary, the HR manager. She never beat around the bush. That was how decisive she was. The position of HR manager was now vacant. Cordelia gave Emrys a wink and asked, “Emrys, are you interested in becoming a manager? It will be fun!” Emrys chuckled bitterly and shook his head. “No, thank you. I know nothing about managing a company.” Despite being Sky Devourer Lord, who was in charge of Thirty-six Sky Generals, he knew it was different from managing a company. One would only need to be exceptionally strong to manage Sky Devourer, but managing a company was different, as it involved various rules and systems. Emrys wasn’t good at that. Cordelia said, “It’s fine. You’re just the manager in name. If you need help, just let Angelina know.” Angelina Gardner was Cordelia’s secretary. They were close to each other. In the office, they were professional and respectful, but outside of work, they were practically inseparable friends. Hearing that, Emrys had no choice but to agree. After all, he could move on anytime if the job wasn’t to his liking. They were chatting when Angelina came into the office. Angelina was a stunning woman in her mid-twenties. She entered the room with her sophisticated, business-casual outfit emphasizing her curvy shape. Her legs were tastefully covered in sheer black stockings, and her pink sunglasses were the perfect accessory to cover the mole at the corner of her eye. Angelina was a gorgeous lady, and her looks were second to Cordelia in the company. However, Emrys merely glanced at her briefly before looking away. To him, no lady was comparable to his seven sisters. “Come in, Angelina. Let me introduce you to someone,” Cordelia said happily. “This is my younger brother, Emrys Lund. I was thinking he could be the new HR manager. What do you think?” Angelina glanced at Emrys with a thoughtful look on her face. A whileAll content is © N0velDrama.Org.

ago, Angelina had heard her colleagues gossiping about their CEO bringing a pretty boy to her office. Naturally, she had been skeptical of what she had heard. Cordelia was discerning and selective, so she refused to believe that she had actually succumbed to a romantic attachment. It looks like she has succumbed to her desires. “Ms. Youngblood, I don’t know if I should say this.” They might be best friends, but Angelina would always address Cordelia as “Ms. Youngblood” at work. Cordelia replied cheerfully, “We’re all friends here, so go ahead!” Angelina pushed her glasses further up the bridge of her nose and spoke firmly. “I believe it’s in the company’s best interest to maintain the vacancy in the upper management, specifically the HR manager. After all, we are in the process of becoming publicly listed. Taking on Mr. Lund in this role may be unwise, so I suggest we reconsider this decision.” “Oh? How so?” Angelina pondered over her question before eventually answering, “Reputation.” “Do you also think that Emrys is my toy boy?” Cordelia was smart enough to realize what she meant. “I’m not alone. That’s what everyone thought.” The company was about to get listed, so the company’s reputation would suffer if word got out that Cordelia had fired a seasoned employee just to let her toy boy take over the position. Cordelia knew that, but instead of offering any further explanation, she simply waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. “I have decided. Emrys is going to be our HR manager from this day forward. Angelina, why don’t you take him around?”
