Chapter 648

“I heard a waitress here had previously fallen down the stairs for no reason, and she is still lying in the hospital now.”

“It’s horrible! How did that happen?”

“It was said that it was an accident. But I don’t believe it. How could she fall by herself for no reason at all? Someone must have pushed her, right?”

Natalie listened to their conversation in silence and noticed the colors draining from Vivian’s face. She also looked a little absent-minded.

The gossip was getting increasingly intense, and everyone was speculating about what had happened.

Suddenly, Vivian pounded the table and stood up. She looked at them coldly and scolded, “Why are you gossiping about this at the company’s party? It really ruins my appetite.”

Everyone was shocked by Vivian’s sudden outburst, but they didn’t dare to argue because her position was higher than theirs. The short hair woman muttered to herself begrudgingly, “Mrs. Larson isn’t even complaining. What right does she have to scold us?”

“Suck it up. It’s best to avoid trouble,” another colleague whispered, and everyone ate in silence.

Natalie glanced at Vivian’s exasperated look and said gently, “It’s after working hours now. It’s not a big deal to discuss something other than work. Sit down and enjoy the meal.”

“I was just afraid their gossip may affect others’ appetite.”

Vivian smiled faintly before sitting down awkwardly to continue eating. She knew the waitress who had been pushed downstairs was still ina coma.

The waitress’ family had brought her home to take care of her. She would never appear in front of Vivian again for the rest of her life.

Vivian didn’t worry about being discovered, but now she was a little disturbed by these female colleagues’ words.

Brandon was walking over to their table after finishing a discussion about some business with several shareholders when he heard the ruckus. He placed his hand on Natalie’s shoulder and whispered, “Is everything alright? What just happened?”

“It’s nothing. We were just having a heated discussion,” Natalie replied with a faint smile.

Suddenly, she remembered the wine she had prepared and said excitedly, “Brandon and I have brought several bottles of good wine today. I’ll get the waiters to bring them over. Let’s get drunk today””

Everyone cheered and expressed their gratitude.

Only Vivian remained expressionless.

For some reason, she felt increasingly uneasy.
