Caught red-handed talking behind their backs.
As Lauren quickly turned around, there stood Herman and Victor at the door. Her mood instantly plummeted. The two people she'd just been badmouthing had heard every word.
If it was just Victor who heard, Lauren wouldn't mind so much. But the problem was that Herman had heard too. He was her former crush.
Lauren quietly turned back around, covering her face, too embarrassed to look at anyone.
Anastasia also felt the awkwardness of the situation, looking at Lauren's "I wish I could disappear" reaction, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Lauren, could you go buy some fruit for me?" Understanding Lauren's embarrassment, Anastasia gave her an excuse to leave.
Lauren immediately caught on. "I'm on it."
Covering her face, she lowered her head and squeezed between Victor and Herman. "Excuse me!"
After Lauren left, Victor came in with some health supplements.
"Anastasia, are you feeling better? I feel pretty bad about what happened to you. I bought you some supplements. Take them when you can."
All the things that Victor bought were expensive; he had spent a fortune.
"Mr. Victor, you're too kind," Anastasia quickly replied. "I'm the one who should feel embarrassed. I've been lying here for over a month, holding up a lot of work."
"Work is not important." Victor glanced at Herman's expression and quickly said, "Just focus on recovering, don't rush back to work. Don't worry, you'll still get your salary. As long as you get better, everything else can wait."
The more he said this, the more embarrassed Anastasia felt.
Herman sat next to Anastasia and said, "See, I told you to focus on recovering. Victor and I go way back. With you in this state, it's already generous of me not to blame him. Would he dare deduct your salary?"
Victor quickly responded, "Of course not." He wouldn't dare. Herman still paid his salary.
