Everyone exchanged glances before crowding around the person holding the phone. Even Lillian, despite her initial disdain, moved closer.
The moment she saw what was trending, her expression froze. Without hesitation, she snatched the phone from the person's hands and quickly scrolled through the post.
There it was, blazing in bright red on the trending page: #JensonToTheRescue—BreakingNews!
Lillian tapped on the post, and the headline expanded into a detailed gossip piece. The story described how Jenson had come to Suzanne's rescue, complete with a full nine-photo collage.
The comment section was pure chaos. Jenson's fans were losing their minds.
SunshineRain said, "OMG, my little Jen, you're so handsome!"
FishyNotHome commented, "This is why I stan this man! He's an absolute legend!"
BlushingCloud also chimed in, "Am I the only one who noticed the woman he saved is stunning? They look amazing together!"
The entire design department fell into silence, especially the ones who had just been trash-talking Suzanne. So, she hadn't slept her way to the deal, after all. She got the contract because of Jenson.
Macey pulled out her own phone, and the moment she saw the trending post, she smirked. "I told you. She'd never do something like that."
She had sensed it from the moment she met Suzanne—this woman wasn't the type to use her body to get ahead. And now, the proof was right in front of them.
Lillian scoffed and rolled her eyes at Macey. "All this proves is that Jenson did a good deed. It doesn't clear Suzanne's name."
For all they knew, Suzanne had offered herself up, but Jenson just happened to walk in and misunderstand the situation.
Macey's face turned red with anger. "You—"
Lillian wasn't done. Smirking, she crossed her arms. "Oh, don't act so innocent, Macey. We all know why you're defending her—it's because she's Mr. Yates' daughter."
Her eyes flashed with mockery. "Try using your brain a little. Some people are worth sucking up to, and some aren't."
Between Suzanne and Seline, anyone with common sense knew which one had more power in the company.
