"At that? What is it?"
At first, everyone else couldn't understand the underlying meaning of her words.
"You know, that. I heard some women pick up men with their seductive skills. Don't you know that? These women are usually not pretty and don't have any ability. However, they are especially good at that and can captivate men." The woman explained.
Hearing that, Yulia subconsciously wanted to deny it!
The reason for that was, in her impression, Quill was not a superficial person. He would never fall in love with someone because of her appearance, and it was even more impossible for him to lose his head because of it.
Therefore, Yulia became more confused. What on earth did Quill like about Vera?
"Gosh, what you said makes sense. Although there are many people in our company who like President Hanover, they would only admire him secretly or create occasional encounters. No one has ever used such underhanded tricks. If this woman uses those dirty tricks to lure President
Hanover, perhaps..."
At this point, the women were enraged, and they felt aggrieved.
Then they all looked at Yulia.
"You are President Hanover's fiancee; you can't just turn a blind eye to this, can you?"
"That's right. The mistress is shameless. You have to teach her a lesson."
"President Hanover is yours, after all. Yulia, you can't give away your fiance like this,"
Everyone stared at her expectantly, but they didn't see the slightest bit of anger on Yulia's face.
Not only was her expression the same as usual, but she was even smiling faintly. "Ladies, it's working hours now. I think you'd better not talk about these."
"A-Aren't you mad at all? Your fiance is..."
Yulia replied with a gentle tone, "You have no evidence to prove your words at all. Why should I believe you? Moreover, all I want to do now is work hard. As for President Hanover... It depends on fate. If he really likes that person, then... There's nothing I can do about it."
After that, Yulia nodded to them. "Alright, I have work to do. I'm leaving; you should too."
After Yulia left, the women stood rooted to the ground, looking at each other in dismay.
"Can you believe that woman?! Is she President Hanover's fiancee or not? How can she remain so calm when her man has been stolen from her?"
"I know, right? She even said she only wants to work hard. Is she serious?"
"I think she's splendid. She probably thinks President Hanover and the mistress are true love, so she quit voluntarily."
"If Yulia knows the mistress is not President Hanover's true love, would she..."
"The problem is, how do we know if Vera used any underhanded tricks to seduce President Hanover?"
The group was still chatting, but Yulia had already gone far.
She only stopped after she had walked a long distance. Then, she turned to the washroom, washed her face, and looked at herself in the mirror.
At this moment, she didn't have any makeup on her face.
She didn't even have money to buy cosmetics. The exquisite, elegant, and proud Miss Maxwell was long gone. How could she compete?
She had nothing.
Moreover, Yulia was well aware that the group of colleagues was definitely a bunch of busybodies. If they picked up something, they would dig for more. Did they want to help her?
No, they were just jealous of the woman by Quill's side.
Judging from their gaze, tone, and expressions, it was obvious irritation flashed across their eyes when they talked about underhanded tricks.
Thinking of this, Yulia smiled faintly.
She was sure, for a moment, they wondered why they didn't use those dirty tricks.
