Chapter 157


    The next day, Cordelia put on some light makeup and dressed appropriately.


    At one in the afternoon, thepany-wide meeting officially kicked off. Ronan began his speech.


    Cordelia sat in the massive hall, which could amodate ten thousand people, but she didn''t stand


    out.


    On the stage, however, Ronan was the center of attention, and all eyes were on him. Watching Ronan,


    full of confidence, Cordelia felt a bit dazed. Was this man once her husband?


    Ronan then gave a special shout-out to the Audit Department, saying they had made significant


    contributions in the process of restructuring the Finance Department.

    Cordelia thought to herself, “If she were still in the Finance Department, she probably would have been


    restructured too. Ronan had moved her to the Audit Department due to some issues. He really had an


    eye for talent.”


    All along, he had been quite nice to Cordelia.


    Cordelia felt that the disagreement with him had been going on for a while now. Thepany hadn''t


    suffered any substantial losses, nor had it gone under, so, Cordelia thought, if she had the chance, she


    should resolve this disagreement as soon as possible.


    Then came the time for the awards. There were over twenty people in the Audit Department, and they


    all stood on the stage.


    Cordelia was wearing a ck suit dress, paired with a white blouse. As a neer, she stood at the


    end of the line.


    Ronan started giving out the awards from the other end, one trophy per person. Additionally, each


    person in the Audit Department got a bonus of a thousand dors.


    Finally, it was Cordelia''s turn. Ronan looked into Cordelia''s eyes as he took the trophy from the


    hostess.


    "Your cor''s not done up properly?" Ronan muttered to Cordelia. Then, he adjusted her cor for her.


    Cordelia looked up and saw Ronan''s eyes. His voice, it had been a while.


    Seeing the way she was looking at him, Ronan was a bit annoyed. "Stop being mad ande home!"


    Ronan said, and then he stepped down from the stage.


    Emerson sat next to Ronan. After Ronan stepped down, he said to Ronan, "I can see it. She''s indeed


    different from the others."


    Ronan didn''t say anything. His eyes were fixed on Cordelia, who was walking down the stage.


    Down below, Samantha was dumbfounded. She had been working in the sales department of Lumos


    Enterprises for over a week now. But for the past week, no one had discussed anythingpany-


    rted with her, and since sales often required traveling, she wasn''t often in the office, so it wasn''t until


    today that she found out that Cordelia was actually in the Audit Department of Lumos Enterprises.


    Seeing Cordelia receiving an award made Samantha feel very ufortable. It was as if she hadn''t


    met the standard, but Cordelia was already outstanding.


    What she didn''t know was that Cordelia''s husband was Ronan. Because no one had told her.


    The reason was this.


    On Samantha''s first day at work, she had cleaned her desk. Originally, the desk was piled high with


    items that others didn''t need, but Samantha had thrown all of these things into the trash, which had


    upset her colleagues. Moreover, Samantha didn''t understand teamwork and often tried to snatch


    business for herself, which gave her a bad reputation in the office. Everyone kept their distance, never


    sharing any office gossip with her. Lately, there hadn''t been any interaction or scandalous rumors


    between Cordelia and Ronan.


    Therefore, it wasn''t until today that Samantha discovered Cordelia also worked at Lumos Enterprises.


    Samantha thought to herself, “This is a perfect opportunity to embarrass Cordelia.” As long as


    everyone knew her husband was the man involved in the office indecent photo incident, Cordelia''s


    good mood after winning the award wouldn''tst.


    After thepany event, Samantha went up to the top floor, where it was eerily quiet. She found


    Cordelia.


    "Cordelia?" Cordelia was tidying up her work badge, getting ready to go home. Seeing Samantha, her


    heart fluttered.


    She kept thinking about the scene where Samantha had furiously torn up her test paper.


    "Cordelia, so you really do work in the Audit Department?" Samantha said. "You told me before that


    you worked in a smallpany."


    Cordeliaughed awkwardly.


    "Let''s go, we''ll go home together," Samantha said. "Where are you headed?"


    "I''m going to my mom''s house. Where do you live?"


    "I rented a ce." Adrian wouldn''t allow Samantha to say that he had helped her find the job.


    Samantha actually lived at Adrian''s house, but Cordelia didn''t know that.


    "How much is the rent?"


    "The rent...is one hundred twenty dors a month. I share the ce with someone else. Let''s take the


    bus together. I don''t have your contact, let me add you on Facebook. It''ll be easier to contact each


    other in the future."


    Cordelia felt like she couldn''t refuse, so she epted the friend request.


    The two got into the elevator. It was already past ten in the evening, there was no one else in the


    elevator.


    "Cordelia, is the work in the Audit Department tiring?" Even though Samantha harbored deep


    resentment towards Cordelia, she had to pretend to be friendly with Cordelia in order to embarrass her.


    "It''s okay."


    The elevator reached another floor, and the doors opened. Ronan and Emerson walked in.
