It was indeed quite awkward for women to encounter this kind of situation.
I pushed open the door and walked out, handing the sanitary pad in my hand to the woman who was waiting outside.
She looked at me in a daze, obviously not expecting to see me here.
I did not say anything and left the washroom quickly after washing my hands.
Honestly, I was not angry because I was used to gossip by now. Besides, there was no way I could control what a person said. Even if I chided them, they would still say what they wanted to say next time, so why should I waste my effort?
I went downstairs to the front desk to check the customers who had made a booking for this afternoon. As I was looking through, I tried to find a chance to bring up the subject of my resignation to Fred.
"Um..." The somewhat awkward voice of a woman rang out beside my ear. "Thanks for that!"
After that, a glass of milk was placed beside my hand.
I looked up at her. I knew without thinking that this
was the woman who got her period in the washroom just now.
"You don’t need to thank me." I had a cold personality, so I said that almost subconsciously.
However, after thinking about how unfriendly I sounded, I quickly added, "It's no big deal. We're colleagues and should be helping each other out."
She lowered her head and bit her lips while saying," I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."
She seemed to have a hard time finishing her sentence and looked somewhat awkward.
I figured she was trying to say that she should not be talking behind my back.
I stopped what I was doing and looked at her with a mild gaze. "You don't have to apologize. I didn't take it to heart."
I indeed did not take those words to heart, because if I did, I would have been hopping mad a long time ago.
