Seeing her, the people who had been talking stiffened and sat up, glancing at her instinctively.

Rebecca ignored them completely. The lounge was silent except for the gentle hum of the coffee machine.

“Hi, Rebecca.” Lisa, one of those who had spoken earlier, didn’t know if Rebecca had overheard their conversation, so she tentatively spoke up.

Rebecca nodded coolly.

Lisa got nervous, feeling a little guilty. “Do you want to join us? You’ve been working all morning. You must be exhausted.”

Ella said bluntly, “No. If she doesn’t get back quickly, her team will think she’s slacking and using her connections to get away with it.”

“No way. Rebecca, we all know what kind of person you are. We won’t let them make false accusations against you.”

“Exactly. We’ll make sure everyone knows the truth.”

“Don’t worry. We’ve got your back.”

Rebecca hadn’t intended to dwell on their earlier words; she had planned to make her coffee and leave. However, she was surprised by how shameless they were.

She stopped, turned to face them, her usual courtesy and gentleness gone. “Weren’t you the ones spreading false accusations about me?”

Her words stunned them all. Lisa forced a smile. “I’ve always considered you a friend. I could never say something like that about you.”

The others quickly played along. “Yeah. Maybe someone is trying to start drama.”

Rebecca ignored them, grabbed her cup, and walked out looking completely indifferent.

The colder Rebecca acted, the more Lisa felt lost. She would have preferred an outright argument rather than
