Karine passed her by and peeped at the ring.

Her eyes lit up. Although the ring had an old design, it was obviously good stuff with history. However…

How did Cordelia obtain such a precious thing?

She scoffed and commented with a snicker, “Don’t tell me it’s fake?”

The office suddenly fell silent. They had awkward looks on their faces as they returned to their desks.

“Cordelia, we came from the same school, after all. As your senior, I feel the responsibility to tell you this.” Karine rolled her eyes. “The ring is old and used. You can tell from a glance that it’s glass that has been dyed. What emerald? Hah! Your husband must have deceived you. You’re convinced by a toy?”

Cordelia caressed the ring and responded flatly while staring directly into her eyes, “I’m wearing a ring just to prove I’m married. Nothing else. I don’t care if it’s glass or precious stone. It makes no difference to me.

“Also…” She smiled calmly. “As long as it’s given by my husband, I don’t care if it’s made of bronze or iron. It’s the heart that matters. I’d love it no matter what!”

“Hah!” Karine mocked, “That’s what a poor person would say!”

Cordelia did not take it to heart and dove into her stressful work.

As she was drafting the sales plan in the afternoon, she heard Annie mumbling softly, “She must be dying to close sales to be bringing just anyone to the office!”

Stunned, Cordelia turned her head to look.

Annie pouted, directing Cordelia to lift her head. She then saw Karine leading a bunch of people in and out of the office.

If she were not mistaken, it was the fifth batch of clients the latter hosted this afternoon.
