Thank goodness they had not left! The reporters would miss their exclusive headlines otherwise!
There was no doubt that Cordy and John's appearance immediately sent the journalists into a frenzy, and they quickly surrounded the couple.
Cordy's four bodyguards were actually all waiting outside the courthouse throughout, but they kept their distance since they were not that tactless they would interrupt her tender moment with John.
When they hurried forward to help when they saw Cordy being mobbed by the journalists, Cordy gave them a look, stopping them.
Today, she actually wanted to have a proper talk with the press.
"Mr. Levine, seeing that you're leaving the courthouse while holding hands with Ms. Sachs… could this mean what we think it means?"
"Mr. Levine, it was a beautifully executed reversal at the trial. Could you give us a word on how you feel right now?"
"Mr. Levine, are you in a relationship with Ms. Sachs? What about Jessica Stuart?"
They were so rowdy John and Cordy had trouble hearing their questions, though Cordy spoke before John could. "Please, calm down for a moment. We'll answer any questions you have, so there's no rush. Also, please keep your distance—John's health has been deteriorating prior to this trial, so please step back and give him some space."
Even as she spoke, she moved to stand before him, shielding him.
The journalists heard her and politely took a step back.
After setting enough distance between them and the couple, one of the journalist joked, "You're certainly protective of your better half, Ms. Sachs."
Everyone laughed, and while Cordy blushed a little, she did not deny it either. "I guess so."
The journalists were left in an uproar.
"So you're saying that you two are dating, Ms. Sachs?" one of them asked loudly.
