Chapter 9 You Look Like A Mistress (Part One) (2/2)
'How idle she is!' thought Ashley.
”Look at her! She must be a home wrecker! Ha ha!”
The smile on Ashley's face froze.
”What do you think she looks like in her investor's bed? She always pretend to be righteous in front of us.”
The people outside didn't know at all that the person they were talking about was sitting in the bathroom. They were still presuming recklessly, and the more they said it, the more obscene it was.
Ashley knew that rumors never stopped at those who were witty. The wise man was few and solitude. However, people were always good at making mischief and spreading rumors. The most effective way was to strangle the rumor before it expanded!
Moreover, it was not just a matter of bad words. It would be difficult to explain it clearly after two days' spreading. Once it was confirmed, it was difficult for her to stay in this company, let alone in the industry. This was the moral bottom line!
The door of the compartment was opened!
The two girls who were beside the wash basin, looked at Ashley who was going to wash their hands. Both of their faces were pale and red.
”Who said I was a mistress?” Ashley stared at them expressionlessly.
They looked at each other awkwardly without saying anything.
”You coward! Dare you do it and don't dare to say it in front of me!”
One of them couldn't help but retorted, ”I said that you were a home wrecker. If you are rich, how could your parents let you to be a paparazzo!
The quarrel in the ladies' room drew the attention of people from other departments of the company. A manager came to mediate and said, ”How interesting it is to stay in the ladies' room! Go back to your seat and work. Just leave here.”
The girl who quarreled with her was eager to leave as soon as possible. But Ashley blocked her way and asked, ”How do you know that I am a mistress?”
”Ashley, do you mean to quarrel with me?”
”Why did you say that? Am I being mean or you just being mean? You think that I am a mistress, and you are only being mean when you speak ill of me. Why, I've been falsely accused. To make things clear is to quarrel?”
”Get out of my way. I don't want to talk to you.”
