Weird Coworker Spread Marriage Gift-Money Rumors, I Raged

After the engagement, I went back to work and handed out celebratory candy to my coworkers.

Amid all the congratulations, one voice cut in out of nowhere.

"There's no point marrying a man you don't love."

Marrying a man I don't love?

I didn't get it, and I looked over at the coworker who'd said it.

He wore a smile that wasn't a smile.

"You want the car, the house, the wedding gift money before you'll agree to marry him and be with him."

"And after the wedding, with that marriage certificate, you could walk away with more than half of everything he owns in a divorce."
