"Ha! What girlfriend? This woman has no background, and she's just… okay-looking. The president must be bored and wants to try something different. She's nothing more than a bed warmer,definitely not his wife or serious girlfriend."
"She's acting so proud now. She doesn't even look like she's coming to work, more like she's just passing the time. She's only been at the company four days, and only one day was normal work. Second day, she left early; third day, she took leave; today… who knows if she'll be late or skip again."
Rachel rushed in, nearly out of breath, having missed the earlier conversation.
All she caught was someone saying, "I wonder if she's going to be late or take the day off today!" As soon as she walked in, every pair of eyes turned toward her.
Holly, who noticed Rachel first, smiled warmly. "Hey Rachel, you're here! What would you like to drink? Let me pour you one."
Rachel shook her head, a cheerful smile lighting up her face. "Thanks, Holly."
