"Maggie, do you think I am not pretty?" Gwendolyn tilted her phone, examining her reflection like it held the answer to life itself.
"...." Maggie stared at her, face blank, her expression screaming - what is wrong with you?
"Come on, just say it!" Gwendolyn whined, her voice dipping into a childish pitch.
Maggie sighed. She wasn't in the mood for Gwendolyn's theatrics today.
Instead of indulging her, she decided to steer the conversation elsewhere. "Before I answer that, can we talk about how you keep calling Regal 'junior' or 'dear junior'?"
Gwendolyn blinked, confused. "Huh? What is wrong with that?"
"It's spreading rumors." Maggie replied, her tone matter-of-fact.
"Rumors? What kind of rumors?" Gwendolyn leaned frowned, her curiosity piqued.
Maggie set the file down, locking eyes with her. "I overheard some staff gossiping. Apparently, they think you both shared some history back in college. They are assuming Regal dumped you."
