Chapter 112

When Autumn returned to the tech department, she noticed Claire was looking at her a little strangely, but she didn’t think much of it.

As she was organizing the documents on her desk, she turned and saw Claire standing behind her, looking like she had something to say but couldn’t quite get it out.

Amused, Autumn asked, “What’s wrong? You look like you’ve got something on your mind.”

She figured Claire wanted to say something.

Ever since Luna had shown up earlier, Claire’s demeanor toward her had shifted a bit.

It made her wonder if Claire had overheard something and misunderstood.

Claire hesitated, then stepped closer and asked, “I just wanted to know… are you and Mr. Sharp really… involved like that?”

The rest of their team quietly stopped what they were doing and subtly turned to look in Autumn’s direction.

Autumn stacked the papers in her hand, her expression calm as she countered, “So you all believe the rumors? Haven’t you already gotten a sense of what I’m capable of?”

Several faces looked awkward.

Claire scratched her head and said sheepishly, “We were just curious, that’s all. Don’t take it personally.

“It’s just… my friend’s cousin said she used to be your classmate, and that you didn’t exactly have the best reputation back then. So, I asked without thinking.”

Though Claire had known Luna from university, they were technically in the same grad school, he hadn’t stayed in touch after graduation.

He hadn’t expected her to reach out, claiming to represent the Lewis Group for a partnership. But things hadn’t gone smoothly, apparently because of Autumn.

He wasn’t sure why Luna had contacted him—he couldn’t do much to help with the business deal anyway. (1) But her cousin clearly held a grudge against Autumn and didn’t hold back in trash-talking her.

Combined with all the office gossip lately, Claire had made some assumptions.

That was why he’d come to ask.

Autumn just shrugged. “It’s fine. Truth speaks louder than rumors. I’ll prove I didn’t get this job through any

back door.

“I just hope you won’t be like the rest-don’t judge me through a lens of gossip.

“After all, we’re working together every day. I’d really rather not do that in a toxic atmosphere. Don’t you agree?”

Everyone nodded. They actually felt the same.

Even though Autumn had only joined a few days ago, her skills were already clear.

A mere undergrad with that level of talent-even the PhDs among them couldn’t help but feel a little humbled.

After work, Autumn planned to visit the cemetery.

In a few days, it would be the third anniversary of her mother’s passing.

Her aunt had told her that, in older generations’ eyes, the third anniversary was a significant farewell-a time to gather close friends and family for a proper memorial.
