Chapter 22

I got home. Antonio bought me scald ointment online.

"Grace, don't be oversensitive. Stop being gunning for Ruth. You'll see each other often in the future. I hope you two get along."

Did he think he could make me compromise with a box of scald ointment? Then, he could have both Ruth and me?

I applied some ointment and didn't reply to Antonio's message. That night, he didn't come back.

The next morning, I went to work and sensed my coworkers' weird stares at me.

After I sat at my desk, Amber Morgan, who was close to me, told me what happened.

She whispered, "Grace, they say you seduced Mr. Kaufman, and his girlfriend caught you in the act. The whole company knows..."

She handed me her phone, and I took it.

It turned out some of my colleagues were also at the restaurant yesterday. They established a group chat overnight to discuss how I failed to seduce Antonio.

Before I could explain, Antonio came to the office with Ruth.

"Everyone, this is your new department manager Ruth Eldred."
