Cordelia was stunned. Confused, she looked at Annie.

Annie sighed and whispered next to her ear, “I’ll just lay it out for you. The news has been spread all over the office, saying that you’re married to a thug who was put behind bars…

“They also said that your husband was the one who beat up Jesse yesterday! The stories were vivid, saying that he was often arrested due to fights. He was imprisoned for years and was only released recently.”

Cordelia was not sure whether to laugh or cry. She momentarily fell silent.

Annie was shocked to see her saying nothing. “Are you really married, Cordelia? Is your husband as they described?”

“Yes, I’m married.” Cordelia was honest. “Also, he indeed doesn’t come from a glorious background.”

Annie stepped back when she heard that, staring at Cordelia in disbelief.

“But he treats me well.” Cordelia’s voice was soft, but each word she said was as clear beads falling onto the ground.

“I never planned to hide my marriage from all of you or not tell anyone. There’s no need to hide. Instead, none of you asked. There’s no rule in the company that says it doesn’t hire married individuals, right?”

Annie frowned. “True, but…”

“No matter what, my husband is a nice person.” Cordelia had a calm face. “Perhaps he was put behind bars for fighting in the past, but ever since we got married, he has never done anything like that again. The past is in the past. Hand in hand, we venture into the present and future together.”
