Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart
Chapter 82
Chapter 82
Natalia thought she could shrug off the rumors like a light dusting of snow from her shoulders. But the whispers and stores that followed her through the office comidors all afternoon were enough to chill her bones. It was uncomfortable, to say the least.
Hamilton paused mid–stride, arching an eyebrow at her.
“Giselle’s getting the boot.” He promised.
A laugh escaped Natalia’s lips, “Good.”
That must be the biggest concession Hamilton was willing to make. He wouldn’t step forward to squash the rumors himself. After all, by doing so, he’d practically be confirming their relationship to the world.
Of course, that would also mean admitting that the real homewrecker was Eveleen all this long.
And when it came to Eveleen, Hamilton would never act against her.
So, firing Giselle seemed like the best solution; it would shatter the gossip without exposing their relationship.
Just perfect.
By the next morning, word of Giselle’s dismissal spread through the company like wildfire. The tongues that had wagged about Natalia now lay still.
Yet some things, once rooted in the heart, were hard to uproot. Especially for this kind of salacious rumor
Natalia knew that all too well. Though the chatter had ceased, she could still feel the weight of weird glances from her colleagues. But it seemed all she could do was pretend not to
notice.
After the morning meeting, as Natalia was gathering her reports to update Hamilton on their progress, Tess burst in.
“Boss, Giselle’s been canned!” She cried with excitement.
Natalia nodded in acknowledgment, “Yeah, I heard.”
“Now let’s see who dares spread lies about you,” Tess was puffing up with a triumphant air.
“Pfft, Eveleen’s cousin or not, she still got the axe. Boss, I’ve gotta say that Mr. Fowler’s a decent man.”
Natalia couldn’t help but chuckle, “Decent? Remember when he almost fired you?”
