“Of course, I can. I saw everything myself!” Lisa retorted, full of confidence. Now that things had gone this far, simply watching the drama wasn’t the same anymore.

Those who had just been gossiping shifted their eyes back to their computer screens, but whether they kept listening in was anyone’s guess.

“I even went and asked Andrea about it. She personally told me there’s something going on between you and Mr. Hanson,” Lisa said, taking Rebecca’s silence as a sign of fear and pushing further.

“She even said that, off the clock, you two were really close.”

“Then go on believing whatever Andrea says,” Rebecca replied, not bothering to defend herself. “Just don’t regret it if she tricks you one day and you lose out on your severance.” With that, Rebecca buried herself back in her work.

Everyone had their own theories about what was really going on, but Rebecca’s straightforward attitude made it pretty clear to everyone–she was definitely not some homewrecker.

As for what Lisa was spouting, nobody took her rumors seriously anymore.

But after everything Lisa said, people started looking at her differently. Everyone remembered how buddy- buddy she used to be with Rebecca, and now she was talking trash without a shred of evidence.

The switch–up was hard to ignore. Honestly, nobody wanted to mess with someone like that anymore.

“What are you all looking at?” Lisa barked, unable to stand the stares. “I’m not the one playing the homewrecker here.”

The group immediately shifted their eyes away, pretending to focus on their own screens.

But Lisa still couldn’t shake the feeling that everyone was sneaking glances at her when she wasn’t looking. It was suffocating. She felt like she was about to explode, but there was nowhere for her to vent.

At noon that day, Rebecca left the office and took the subway to the hospital.

Lisa, not far behind, followed her quietly. When she saw Rebecca walk into the top–tier private hospital owned by Hanson Group, it only confirmed what she already suspected.

Rebecca had no idea she was being followed. She chatted with Amelia just like she always did, having a relaxed conversation about life.

She talked about what she’d been up to lately, everything that went down yesterday, and mentioned that she’d be heading out soon for a training trip.

She knew Jeffrey had set it up for next Monday on purpose, since Samuel was off to summer camp for 18 days that weekend, and it had been on the calendar for months. But Rebecca wasn’t sure how she felt about this work trip.

Rebecca was still lost in her own thoughts lunch
