Before she replied, the chat was relatively calm since it was all just speculation.
The moment she confirmed it was her, the group chat exploded!
[Vivica, your family is insanely rich!]
[I only knew your husband was a lawyer and assumed he made good money. I had no idea he was old money!]
[Is it just like the movies? Do you have a garage full of supercars and a line of maids bowing to you when you walk in the door?]
Reading her coworkers' messages, Vivica—sitting completely alone in her bed—felt so embarrassed she literally facepalmed.
This was exactly what she had been afraid of.
She hated being flashy, which was why she made a point to dress and eat just like everyone else at the office.
Aside from the luxury cars that occasionally dropped her off, her lifestyle didn't look any different from before.
Now, her entire background had been exposed to the world.
[I just got really lucky, that's all. Thank you guys for always helping me out at work.]
Vivica tried to pivot the conversation, but the moment she mentioned "work," her coworkers became even more direct.
[Vivica, with your husband's status, he must have insane connections! You have to get him to throw some corporate clients our department's way!]
Once someone said it, a chorus of agreements immediately followed.
Vivica facepalmed again.
Not knowing how to respond, she took a screenshot and sent it straight to the "hero" of the hour.
Joseph had just instructed Fannie to release the statement when his phone buzzed with his wife's message.
He opened it and instantly chuckled.
Not being a fan of texting, Mr. Baird closed the app and called her directly.
Vivica had just gotten out of bed and was heading to the bathroom.
Hearing her phone ring, she turned back to answer it.
"Hello?"
