Wearing a grim expression on his handsome face, Artemis took the phone from Dwayne, got up, and left the conference room.
Victoria nudged Stephen and asked in a low voice, “Stephen, since you and our domineering CEO are close, do you have any first-hand information? Share it with us.”
The latter glared at her as he replied through gritted teeth, “You better stop gossiping. I got wind that Ms. Rhonda drugged Mr. Luther at noon, but he did not fall for her tricks and chased her out of the CEO's office.”
“What happened after that?” Victoria asked eagerly.
D*mn! How can I miss out on such an exciting piece of gossip?
“After that...” Stephen glanced at her and asked a question instead of answering, “That designer from the Archulea branch office, Bailey Jefferson, is your friend, right?”
Victoria narrowed her eyes slightly, asking with a frown, “We are talking about Rhonda, that pretentious woman, so why are you shifting the topic to my bestie?”
Stephen gave her a somewhat sympathetic look and sighed. “The second Ms. Rhonda left, Bailey went to the CEO's office. If Mr. Luther truly couldn't restrain himself from sleeping with a woman, he must've slept with your bestie because she stayed in his office for half an hour.”
“My gosh!” Victoria jumped up from her chair. “Something like that happened when I made a trip to the recruitment agencies?”
After sensing her colleagues' scrutinizing gazes that were directed at her, she abruptly stopped the conversation.
Dang! I nearly sold my bestie out!
“Come with me and explain everything outside.”
After Artemis left the conference room, he returned to the CEO's office.
“Tell me. Who told you about it?”
