Chapter 685: Office drama unfolds
Heaven and her colleagues ignored the snickers and mocking looks from the other table. They continued to eat their lunch, talking about anything they could broach. But when they were almost done, the women from the other table suddenly approached them.
"Nice watch, Errand Girl."
Heaven and the other three women sitting around the table stopped. They slowly turned their attention to the group of women standing beside their table. The first woman with platinum hair smirked, arms crossed, glancing at the women until her eyes fell on Belle.
"Hello there, Bella," the blonde woman remarked with a hint of mockery. "I see that despite the rumors about the errand girl in your department, you’re still hanging out with her."
"Marissa." Belle rolled her eyes and then raised a brow. "The rumors aren’t true, and why do you care who I hang out with?"
"True. It’s not surprising that you’d hang out with someone like you." The blonde woman, Marissa, glanced at Heaven. "I heard you were called into the CEO’s office and investigated by the human resources. I’m surprised you’re still here."
"That’s because the rumors aren’t true," the other woman with Heaven scoffed. "Marissa, can you please stop acting like a mean girl? This is not high school where you can bully Belle whenever there’s an opportunity."
"Bully? That’s a big word." Marissa frowned. "I came here because I was just worried that it won’t be good for you if you keep hanging out with her."
"Hey!" Belle rose from her seat, confronting the other woman who had come to cause trouble for no reason. "You don’t talk about my colleague like that. Just because you’re in the finance department doesn’t mean you’re better than us in the art department."
