Suddenly, her phone buzzed. Becky glanced at its screen and saw that Jessie had sent her a link.
Becky picked up her phone and tapped on the link, only to find an error message. So typed out her reply to Jessie, asking, “What did you just send me?”
However, to her surprise, Jessie didn’t answer her question. Instead, she asked, “Did Devin go to your apartment last night?”
Becky didn’t want Jessie to know what happened last night, so she said casually, “Devin had something to tell me.”
“Your relationship with him is being discussed online. The link still worked when I sent it to you, but now I guess someone has had the news deleted.”
Then, Jessie sent another text. “What did Devin want to tell you? It must’ve been important, or else he wouldn’t have gone to your apartment. Becky, is he your secret boyfriend now?”
“Nonsense,” Becky replied with a laughing emoticon.
If she was in a relationship with Devin, she would not feel the need to hide it.
Plus, she was focused on work and making money—not finding a boyfriend.
Jessie sent her a barrage of messages, but Becky didn’t reply.
The news that Devin went to Becky’s home was taken down three hours after it had been posted, but many people had seen it already. They wondered if Devin and Becky were in a relationship.
Of course, Rory wasn’t left out of the picture.
After all, Rory was connected to both Becky and Devin. The former was his ex-wife, while the latter was his competitor in the business world.
“Amazing. Becky divorced Rory just a few months ago, right? Now, she’s Devin’s girlfriend. To be honest, I’m a little jealous!”
“Although I want to say that Devin’s nothing but a playboy, I’m a little jealous, too. I mean, he’s rich and gorgeous. What more could a woman ask for?”
The two well-dressed women gossiped excitedly in the corridor to the bathroom.
