The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 686

At that moment, everyone in the office watched as the CEO strode straight into Mr. Vesper’s office—their stares practically glued to the scene.

“Told you, the CEO and Mr. Vesper definitely have something going on.”

“Did you see the CEO’s face just now? She looked pissed. They must’ve had a fight.”

“She’s probably in there demanding an explanation. Looks like Mr. Vesper really got under her skin this time.”

“Come on, couples argue all the time. It’s normal.”

“I just wish we knew what they’re fighting about!”

With the scent of gossip thick in the air, the company employees settled in, cracking open bags of chips and sunflower seeds, munching away as they speculated.

Citrine stormed into Sebastian’s office, her face thunderous—so angry she didn’t even bother knocking.

Sebastian set his paperwork aside the moment he saw her, his eyes softening. “What brings you here today? No classes at the university?”

Citrine didn’t answer. She just stared at him, searching his expression for any hint that he might be the type to spread wild rumors behind her back. No matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t see it.

Noticing the flush on her cheeks, Sebastian assumed she was overheated. He poured her a glass of water, then poured one for himself.

After a tense silence, Citrine finally calmed down a little. She looked at him, testing the waters. “So… I heard you’ve been telling people I’m your girlfriend?”

Sebastian choked on his water, coughing so hard it echoed through the room. Then, suddenly, he let out a low laugh.

He glanced at her, amused. “Who told you I said that?”

“No one. I just overheard the staff talking.” Citrine hesitated, but ultimately decided not to throw Carlotta under the bus.
