Love Unspoken

"No clue. He used to make late appearances with Getty, but now that she's absent, it's anyone's guess," a coworker mused in a hushed tone.

"Getty must have stumbled upon some good fortune to catch Alexander's eye. She doesn't even hold a candle to Ruby in terms of beauty," another chimed in.

"Indeed, and she doesn't possess Ruby's competence either."

This subject had been the fuel for countless gossip sessions among them, yet it remained an enigma. Regardless, it didn't deter them from envying the situation or occasionally sparking a lively debate about it.

I have a rather wild hypothesis." "And what might that be?" a curious voice inquired.

Lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper, Maria responded, "What if there's something going on between them? Could Getty merely be a diversion?"

"Watch your words! Do you want to lose your job?" One of their colleagues, clearly unnerved, swiftly retreated to his desk.

"Oh, lighten up, we're just having a friendly chat. But haven't you noticed the way Ruby gazes at Alexander? There's more to it than meets the eye." "And what does that prove?"

"But Ruby's standing remains unchallenged. With Getty warding off the competition, perhaps they have a chance?"
