"Director Kevin?" May screamed as if she had discovered a new planet. "Do you think this back looks like Director Kevin's?"
Karen was originally not interested in gossip from the entertainment world, but when she heard May's voice, she uncontrollably clicked on to Twitter.
Polaris' love life was on the main page of Twitter, with a few pictures attached.
The first picture was her quietly nestled in a man's arms. The second picture showed their backs that looked like they were kissing. The third picture was of the man carrying her into a mansion.
Although the shot was only the man's back, this back was so familiar. She had seen it just this morning.
But still, just a back view did not make it 100% sure that this man was Kevin, so she comforted herself with this excuse.
However, it was not only Karen, but all the people in the office thought it looked like Kevin's back.
Karen could finally confirm that the man was Kevin's because the woman had a silver-gray suit over her, which was his suit. Karen had known him for a while, and only he wore this color.
The others had already gathered together to discuss, "Could it be that this celebrity who just turned 18 is Director Kevin's wife?"
"18 is not the legal age for marriage. I don't think so."
"You don't necessarily have to get a marriage certificate to be husband and wife. Making love between a couple will do."
"True, true. Besides, some people get their marriage certificates, but they don't make love. They are just fake couples with a certificate."
The hot discussion between colleagues reached Karen's ears one by one, as if these words were targeted at her.
A bitter smile appeared on her face. Could it be that betrayal would never leave her?
In her opinion, even if they had no feelings for each other in this marriage, they should be loyal to each other since they were husband and wife.
Now that she had just been married for a month, he had already had an affair, it made her feel humiliated.
Karen suddenly felt as if the air in the office had stopped. Her heartfelt constrained, and her breathing became difficult.
She spoke to Sunnie and asked for a day off. She wanted to go out and have a good walk. She also needed to face the reality of her relationship with Kevin.
On the streets, people came and went. Everyone had their own destination. Only she walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go.
From the beginning of her arrival in California, she had always felt this sense of longing. In the past three years, she had been working hard to forget about the bad things in the past.
Those bad things would always appear in front of her suddenly, and she would experience the hurt and betrayal again and again.
Just as she was finally able to face that person again, another blow caught her off guard.
Karen even said to herself, "Anyway, it's a marriage without real love. Let's pretend nothing happened, and live our own lives like what we did a month ago."
However, she also had her own pride. She was obviously aware of this matter and trying to pretend like it didn't happen was something she really could not do.
"Karen..."
A powerful force suddenly grabbed Karen. She lost her balance and fell steadily into the man's arms.
