Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 204: The next day, as Allison entered the lab, it didnt take long for her to sense that something was off.

Her colleagues acted as though she were invisible, deliberately avoiding eye contact.

It wasnt until Aimee quietly slipped into her office, when no one was looking, that Allison got a clue.

Frowning deeply, she asked, Ms.

Clarke, have you crossed someone lately? Without lifting her eyes from the files she was skimming, Allison responded, A few too many.

Allison arched an eyebrow at the flowers.

Now, after all this time… He was in full showman mode, and despite his outlandish claims, a few of her colleagues were whispering among themselves.

Clarke, with him? Hes, what, like half her height? And look at him, another added.
