Chapter 69 The Comments Are Completely Off-topic.

At my most awkward moment, Jason showed up. His face was cold and a bit ticked off; guess he saw that tweet too.

"Mr. Foster, need something?" Alice's face lit up with a smile when she saw Jason, totally different from how she treated me earlier.

Jason glanced at me, then at the computer screen, pointing at the photo. "That's me."

Alice was floored. She looked at me, then at Jason, totally in disbelief. I knew what Jason was trying to do, but his words just made me feel even more embarrassed. "What the heck are you talking about?" I shoved Jason out the door.

As I was leaving, I turned back to the still-stunned Alice and said, "Don't worry, I'll resign."

After closing the door, I looked at Jason. "It's bad enough I'm humiliated. You wanna trash your rep too?"

Jason had his hands in his lab coat pockets, his brow furrowed. "Emily, it's not that hard to figure this out. Just report it to the cops, and they'll trace the IP address of the rumor." Thinking of a certain possibility, I didn't have the guts to dig deeper. I lowered my eyes and shook my head gently. "It's fine. You go back to work. I'll just take this chance to chill." As I turned, Jason grabbed me and said worriedly, "Shouldn't you get your foot bandaged?"

I thought, 'My injury isn't in my foot but in my heart.'

"No need."

"Where you headed? I'll take you."

I turned back and gave a faint smile, probably looking worse than crying. "No need, I'm good. I told you, someone with nothing has nothing to fear."

People in the hallway kept glancing at us. I didn't want to drag Jason into this mess. "You go back to work. I got stuff to handle."

After a moment of silence, Jason said, "If you need help, call me anytime."

Hearing his serious tone, I suddenly laughed. "I probably won't need it. You make it sound like we're about to have a gang fight."

As I walked out of the hospital, more people gave me weird looks. I wanted to escape their stares quickly, but my feet wouldn't cooperate, so I could only walk slowly, step by step.

I got a call from Bella at the hospital entrance. She was worried about me. I told her I got fired, and she immediately comforted me. "It's okay. Your next job will be better."

She asked me to meet her at the Taekwondo gym.

So much had happened since last night, and it all felt like a conspiracy. I was exhausted and needed someone to help me think things through calmly.

The Taekwondo gym wasn't far from Grace Hospital. When I got there, Bella was nowhere in sight. A bunch of folks in Taekwondo uniforms were practicing, and some were just chilling nearby.
