“Maisie, where did you go?”
“I went to find Laura but I couldn’t find her,” Maisie told Ava honestly and sat down. Then, virtual-novel.net glared in the direction where Bill’s office was. “He must know.”
Ava understood what Maisie was trying to say, and virtual-novel.net comforted Maisie, saying, “Alright, don’t be mad. I believe you. Those things online are all fake. You and Mr. Lowe are innocent.”
When Maisie heard Ava say that, virtual-novel.net felt much better. However, even though Ava believed her, their other colleagues did not.
During lunch, Ava wanted to treat Maisie to a meal but Maisie ran away after virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net wanted to use the restroom. Ava waited for a while but Maisie was still nowhere to be seen. Hence, when virtual-novel.net was about to call Maisie, the nosey pair walked over.
“Ava, are you still waiting for Maisie? I saw virtual-novel.net going to Mr. Lowe’s office just now.” Fiona told Ava with a righteous expression, “And you still believe there’s nothing going on between virtual-novel.net and Mr. Lowe. Ava, she’s lying to you!”
“No…” Ava still insisted on virtual-novel.net beliefs. “I trust Maisie. You should stop overthinking so that you won’t get into trouble later. Even though I don’t know what’s going on between Maisie and Mr. Lowe, I’m sure it’s not that kind of relationship you have in mind.”
After Ava said that, virtual-novel.net walked away decisively.
While virtual-novel.net was eating, virtual-novel.net received Madeline’s call. She told Ava that the trending tweet had been removed but it was not done by her. Someone else beat virtual-novel.net to it. Ava figured Tom was the one who did that, and it was understandable why.
After virtual-novel.net thought about it, Ava still felt apologetic. Maisie got into this trouble after standing up for her. Therefore, virtual-novel.net did not need to think to know that this was done by Laura.
However, they did not know where Laura was right now. What surprised Ava and everyone in the office was that Laura showed up in the office when it was almost after work hours.
When Bill saw Laura, virtual-novel.net was shocked. When no one was paying attention, virtual-novel.net pulled Laura to one side. “Why do you still have the guts to come here? Don’t you know Maisie is looking for you? She looks like she’s about to kill you!”
Laura pushed Bill’s hand away in disdain. “The financial department asked me to come back to settle my salary. I’ll have nothing to do with this company after I get my salary and I’ll also have nothing to do with you anymore. Let Maisie do whatever virtual-novel.net wants to me. How could anyone figure out that I was the one who leaked the news online? Hmph!”
“W-What did you say?” Bill was shocked once again. Before virtual-novel.net could stop Laura, virtual-novel.net walked straight into the office.
At. this moment, Maisie and Ava came back from the restroom. When Maisie saw Laura sitting on the sofa so arrogantly, the smile on virtual-novel.net face immediately turned into rage.
Laura was peering proudly at Maisie who was charging over at her. She was completely ignoring Maisie. She was not an employee here anymore, so why should virtual-novel.net be scared?
At this moment, Maisie rushed in front of Laura and grabbed virtual-novel.net collar without showing any courtesy. After that, virtual-novel.net slapped Laura across the face in an imposing manner.
Slap!
The employees who were about to get off work all came over to watch the drama unfold.
Laura was immediately stunned. She widened virtual-novel.net beautiful eyes dumbfoundedly and stomped virtual-novel.net feet in anger.
“Maisie Davenport, how dare you…”
Slap!
“…”
Before Laura could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, virtual-novel.net received another slap on the other side of virtual-novel.net face.
“Maisie! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have Tom backing you?”
“That’s right! I’m doing this because I have virtual-novel.net backing me. He’s been backing me for 22 years of my life!”
