Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 292

Suzanne chuckled as she added, "Come on now. I need to get to work now. You should also get up and take a walk outside. Don't just live on your bed."

She was able to tell from the tone of Marsha's voice that she was surely still in bed.

Marsha rubbed her swollen eyes and grumbled, "I'm tired and sleepy. I was up nearly the whole night again yesterday."

Staying up late was a norm for people from their industry. It was inevitable.

Suzanne knew it was pointless trying to talk her out of staying up late, so she comforted Marsha gently, saying, "Then maybe just nap for a while more. Remember to eat something."

Marsha yawned and replied, "Sure."

She could barely finish her sentence before Suzanne heard long, deep breathing noises from the other end of the phone.

Suzanne frowned slightly. Was she really that tired?

She hung up the call and went to the office.

…

An hour later, Suzanne parked her car inside Yates Corporation's parking lot.

She had just gotten out of the car when she overheard someone in the corner saying in a low voice, "Did you see the news from yesterday? Suzanne is such a shameless whore for dating several men at the same time."

Suzanne scanned around the empty parking lot and headed toward the direction from which she heard the voice.

In the corner, Lilian, who had done a full-glam makeup look, was smoking in a corner. As white smoke curled from her mouth, she spat in disgust. "I told you she was up to no good. You believe me now, right?"

The other two women looked unfamiliar. They were probably from another department within Yates Corporation.

They chimed in after Lilian, saying, "She looks pretty good, but I didn't expect her to be so shameless."

Lilian scoffed with disdain. "She probably attracted many of those men with that face of hers." Especially when everyone knew how lustful men could be.

Suzanne stood behind Lilian with her hands crossed in front of her chest and said with a cold voice, "Pray tell, how did I use my face to attract men? Do you have any evidence of that?"

Lilian raised her head abruptly, and her gaze fell on Suzanne's face. She was so shocked she took a few steps back, and the cigarette she had between her fingers fell to the ground.
