She had been hanging out in the mall for a while. Although she was not a fan of socializing, she had to show up for occasions like this.
After chit-chatting with a few familiar ladies, Brittany felt a bit off because of her pregnancy, she couldn't stand the smell of alcohol.
Hannah noticed Brittany's discomfort.
"Bri, you okay?"
"Just need a bit of a breather. I’ll go to the restroom."
Hannah wanted to accompany her, but Brittany shook her head, "Nah, just chill here. I'll be back."
Hannah hesitated a bit, but someone else caught her attention. Brittany seized the chance and asked a servant to guide her to the restroom.
The garden was huge, the restroom situated on the other side. Along the corridor, Brittany walked slowly, the servant respectfully keeping pace.
On reaching the restroom, Brittany dismissed the servant, "I see it, thank you, you can go."
"Alright."
After the servant left, Brittany entered the restroom. Just as she pushed open a cubicle door, she heard footsteps.
"Did you hear, Mr. Salter's here too!"
"He's not as the rumors describe, even with the mask on, he's got a striking aura, is he really that ugly?"
"Don't kid yourself, the Salters aren't your everyday folks. I heard Shona Bennett got shot down when she tried to date him!"
"But isn't Mr. Salter married?"
"So what if he is? You really think he has genuine feelings for his wife? I bet he's just messing around."
A lady chimed in, "I did some digging, apparently Mr. Salter has a complicated history with other women... Haven't you guys seen the news? It might be a marriage of convenience!"
"Was Shona really dating Mr. Salter?"
"Totally, just recently. Heard she's quite smitten with Mr. Salter..."
The gossip hit Brittany like a bolt from the blue.
Right, Mr. Salter was married.
Then why was he involved with Joie? And even secretly dating Shona behind his wife's back?
As the gossip continued, Brittany couldn't help but shake her head.
