Astrid handed her a neatly wrapped gift box. “Happy New Year.”

“Wow, what a beautiful gift! Thanks boss!” Selena held the package in delight. “Oh, Astrid, guess who I saw just now? Fannie Santos!”

“I’m not sure if she’s here for a show, but I saw her and the TV station’s boss talking, they were even holding hands. They looked pretty close.” Selena lowered her voice as someone walked by, “I heard the boss is getting a divorce because of Fannie!”

“Really?” Astrid was a sucker for gossip. Hearing this, she perked up immediately.
