Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 72

When Cecilia opened the glass door and walked in, the flattery and admiration she had expected did not appear.

A few colleagues were gathered at the pantry entrance, whispering among themselves.

When they saw her enter, their voices immediately dropped. The looks they threw her way carried an indescribable, subtle meaning.

Cecilia didn't know what was going on. She wondered if they were jealous of her for securing the project with Maeve, and came to that conclusion.

She thought they were just a bunch of useless nobodies who were only good at envying someone else's success.

Cecilia inwardly rolled her eyes. Heels clicking, she strutted to her workstation and set her luxury bag down with a defiant thump.

The pointed noise went completely unnoticed. Instead, her colleagues' whispering continued to buzz around her ears like flies.

"Things were so much better when Annie was still here. Our studio was doing so well back then," one colleague whispered.

"Exactly," another chimed in. "Even a large company like EVL came knocking on our door for a collaboration. Now that's what you call capable."

"And now? Ms. Hudson has been sidelined, and the studio's half-dead, surviving only on its former glory."

Then, one of the junior designers scoffed, her tone thick with scorn. "Seriously, the nerve of some people. Who knows what kind of lucky streak they're on? Big deal—being the spare girlfriend of a Frost. Does she really think that makes her somebody?"

"Right? And all that bragging about securing a major deal with Maeve. We even bought into it for a moment."

"Well, guess what? Early this morning, Ms. Brown had someone from her end to terminate the contract. They said that the project was canceled."
