Everyone med when they heard the voice, and when they realized it was Andres their reactions were of a bit complicated

Back then, they didn’t know Rebecca was Jeffrey’s wife, so no one really paid much attention to how the and Andrea interacted. But now, it looked like Andrea definitely had something up her sleeve.

Every morning, she shows up by Jeffrey’s side as his secretary, acting all polite and friendly to Rebecca, even though Rebecca–didn’t like her. To everyone else, the whole scene just felt really strange.

But since no one really knew the truth, they just greeted her as usual. “Hi, Andrex”

“I heard you were in the hospital, someone asked politely, out of workplace manners. “Are you feeling better now?

“Much better.” Andrea said, then walked over to Rebecca’s desk with a sweet smile. She leaned on the desk with both hands, looking innocent. “Rebecca, why don’t you care about me? You didn’t come visit me all time. I was so sad”

Rebecca shot her a sideways glance, thinking about how shameless she was.

“Stop ignoring me, okay? I was miserable enough to end up in the hospital.” Andrea grabbed her hand, like she was making up with a friend after a fight.

She was sure Rebecca was too quiet to tell anyone about what had happened between the three of them. As long as Rebecca stayed silent, her indifference would just look rude to everyone else.

“Don’t touch me.” Rebecca said, pulling her hand back and grabbing some sanitizer from the side. “Seriously, you’re kind of gross.”

Andrea froze, embarrassed. The others quickly jumped in to smooth things over.

“Hey, Andrea, have you had breakfast yet? I’ve got some cake here.

“Rebecca, what did you learn on that business trip? Were the big shots at the Hanson Group really as amazing as people say?”

With all the questions flying around, Andrea took the chance to step away from Rebecca’s desk.

Though the colleagues only asked those questions to ease the tension, Rebecca still answered them politely.

Before long, more people started showing up, and every single one of them gave Rebecca a second look. Thankfully, there was a meeting scheduled for the morning, so no one had time to gossip too much.

For the rest of the day, though, people treated Rebecca way better than before.

Seeing this, Andrea grabbed Lisa and dragged her over to the lounge. “Seriously, what’s up with everyone? Why are they treating Rebecca like royalty all of a sudden? Don’t tell me you told them about her and Jeffrey?”
