Adelaide unwrapped the paper, popped the chocolate into her
mouth, and sighed, “I offended Mr. Thorton’s fiancee!”
Knowing that Laney had a good relationship with Reginald’s
mother, she wondered if Laney would go back and tell on
Reginald’s mother.
She had only been working for a few days, is she going to be
quietly fired?
Mara’s eyes flickered and she said, “Ms. Pierce, Ms. Walton is not
the boss’s fiancee.“”
Adelaide lazily nibbled on chocolate, lost in thought and
unaware of her abnormality. But she still responded, “Yeah, it
hasn’t been officially announced. But she can come and go as
she pleases here, so it’s kind of like an unofficial
announcement.”
The more Adelaide thought about what she had just done, the
more worried she felt.
She propped up her chin, tilted her head to look at Mara, and
said, “Ms. Ortega, do you think I might be the first employee to
get fired for offending the future boss lady?”

And that watch told Adelaide who the owner of the watch was.
Adelaide choked, her scalp starting to feel tight and taut.
Is it that bad?

Got caught yesterday, and got caught again today?!
Someone leaned in close to her.
The familiar scent of incense really hit her nose, and her
colleagues once again tacitly lowered their heads pretending to
be busy working.
“Adelaide, come in with your tablet,” a low, chilly voice
whispered into her ear.
Reginald dropped the mic and walked away.
Adelaide came again with a poker face.
She picked up the tablet, and Mara across from her said, “Ms.
Pierce, I’m sorry.”
Adelaide sighed, “Let’s not talk about Mr. Thornton next time,
let’s talk about someone else.”
Mara nodded and gave a thumbs up. Anyway, she still has a lot
of other gossip.
Walking into the office with her tablet, Adelaide glanced over
and saw Reginald sitting on the sofa this time.
