Janet returned to the Larson Group’s headquarters the next morning .She heard some people laughing inside the design department. But the second they saw her come in, an ominous silence ensued in the room Everybody else in the office realized that there was a tension in the room, so they all glanced at the door
“Hey! Shut up! Can’t you see that Janet is here already?”
“Wait… Is Janet the one who’s secretly married to Mr. Larson?”
“Who else could it be?”
Janet could hear them whispering among each other, and they all sounded surprised.
Deciding to ignore them, she went to her seat and sat down as if nothing happened.
When Gerda saw Janet, she poked her head out and went to the latter’s seat Visibly excited, she said, “My queen! You’re finally back! Everyone in the company is shocked to hear the news about you and Mr. Larson!” Janet could tell from the look on Gerda’s face that the latter was excited.
“Who spread the news?” she asked.
Gerda had no idea either.
“When I arrived at the company yesterday, everybody was already discussing that you’re the CEO’s wife. Someone even took a video of Mr. Larson chasing after you!”
When Janet looked around, the people inside the department fell into deeper silence. The air felt tense and it get worse with every passing second.
