Cindy sighed heavily, unwittingly following Kent to the staff cafeteria, her chatter non-stop. “I was gonna add that girl on WhatsApp to get the lowdown, but she wasn’t having it, so no luck there.”

“It’s normal. After all, it’s personal stuff,” Kent responded without any judgment, “Having a bit of guard up is no biggie.”

“I get it,” Cindy said, still a bit bummed out, “But she doesn’t know me, and I don’t know her, so who am I gonna talk to?” Kent let out a dry chuckle.

Brandon quickened his pace to distance himself from the chatterboxes. He really wasn’t a fan of the never-ending buzz in his
