The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 157

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

At one in the afternoon, the company-wide meeting officially kicked off. Ronan began his speech. Cordelia sat in the massive hall, which could accommodate 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. The company 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 black suit dress, paired with a white blouse. As a newcomer, 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 dollars.

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

"Your collar's not done up properly?" Ronan muttered to Cordelia. Then, he adjusted her collar 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 and come 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 anything company-related 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 uncomfortable. 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.
