Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 280

Waiting around for Enoch was turning out to be a real drag. It seemed like they still had stuff to hash out, and Drusilla decided to use the moment to visit the ladies' room.

Inside, she overheard a gaggle of girls from their company gossiping. "Did you hear? Ms. Larkin's expecting, and Mr. Taylor's handed all of Mr. Stanton's projects over to Derek."

"Man, I envy Ms. Larkin! It must be nice being treated like royalty just because you're pregnant. The whole world seems to cater to her."

"Some folks think Mr. Stanton rubbed Mr. Taylor the wrong way, and this is Mr. Taylor's way of getting back at him."

"No way!"

After washing her hands, Drusilla left the restroom, catching a glimpse of Harlan standing outside, lighting up a cigarette.

There was a clear bitterness in his voice.
