With the exposure of Kenny Clarke, the normal life of Gloria Taylor was affected as well.
Especially her colleagues, who would talk with Gloria because of the disabled Kenny. But now, the mental balance was off, the envy would naturally come back. Some of them flattered Gloria while some despised her. However, Gloria never minded it.
“We treated her well out of pity, and now it turned out all those things were just fake. She was such a liar.”
“Maybe she wasn’t fully aware of his situation?”
“Come on, how can she didn’t know her husband.”
“Well, never mind. Oh! Check this out! Si Chengyu was...”
Standing in the toilet cubicle, Gloria heard them out of the toilet, and then she went out to wash her hands. Gloria did not want to waste her time and energy on some random guys.
There were always a part of people in this world liked to think of others with malice.
But, it was the truth that she covered up the situation of Kenny. Anyway, they were just colleagues but not friends.
Just when she was wiping her hands, anxious footsteps sounded outside just like someone was smashing her heels on the ground continually.
The sound became closer and louder. It was obvious that the ower's destination was the bathroom.
Anne Taylor kicked the door open.
“Gloria Taylor! How dare you! First, you keep me from the truth about Kenny Clarke, and now, with Si Chengyu?”
Anne said these words like a dragon was breathing fire, but Gloria did not bat an eyelid.
Getting no explanations from Gloria, Anne took it as confirmation and she raised her hand, going to slap Gloria.
But this was not the same old Gloria anymore.
She grasped Anne’s hand hard and she held it tight.
“With that skinny weak arm, you can’t hurt anyone, so why don’t you stop being a bitch and try to be reasonable?” Gloria looked into Anne’s eyes and said in disdain.
“Who the hell you think you are!” Anne Taylor struggled to get rid of Gloria but failed.
“Shut you goddamn hole tight!” As Gloria spoke, she noticed Anne held a cellphone with the other hand, which reminded her that some of her colleagues were talking something about Si Chengyu, so she reached her hand and took it.
The screen still lit, and Gloria saw news titled with the mysterious girlfriend of Si Chengyu.
She rolled the page, and a picture showed up. That was the day she got back from a business trip and ran into him at the airport.
In the picture, Si walked with a suitcase and Gloria followed.
Their faces in the picture were fuzzy, but acquaintances could easily recognize them. There were no physical contacts but they looked like a couple.
That was not what Gloria wanted, She threw the cell on Anne, let go of her hand, pushed Anne aside, and moved.
Anne Taylor caught her phone in a hurry and then followed Gloria out.
Gloria texted Si while walking because it could be easily clarified once he came out and explained to the public.
After a couple of seconds, Si texted her back with an address and told her to went there to discuss it with him.
“Don’t walk away from me!” Anne caught up her and yelled.
But Gloria ignored Anne, for she got something much more important to take care of now, so she just took her purse from the office and left the building.
Gloria took a cab and told the driver the address. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
It was a nice fancy tea house. Before she got off the car, she saw Si Chengyu just went out of there and he looked quite upset.
“Miss, here is your change.” The driver handed Gloria her change.
“Thank you.” She took the change and opened the door but found he was gone.
She called Si, but he did not answer.
Thinking of his pale face she just saw, Gloria dialed the number of Kenny.
After two beeps, the deep voice came out of the phone.
“Yes, Gloria?”
“Did you saw the breaking news?” Gloria asked.
“What news?” Kenny just finished a meeting.
“Kenny! Si and your wife were on the news!” Gloria heard the sound of the door opened and the loud voice of Carl Cook.
Kenny Clarke went silent for a few seconds and said to Gloria.
“Well, now I know.” He sounded jealous.
“No Kenny, it’s not what you think. It’s that day at the airport. Paparazzi took the picture of me and Si there.” Gloria explained.
