This was how the world worked. Everyone had looked down at Yesseca based on how plainly she dressed. Later on, when they'd noticed her coming and leaving work in luxurious cars, they'd thought that she had become a mistress to a rich old man and looked down at her even more.
When they found out that her boyfriend was handsome and young, they became jealous of her. At the same time, they wanted to get in her good graces.
All except Enarlyn.
Right then, Yesseca's head was hurting from the voices of her colleagues surrounding her.
She said, "Enough. We should all get back to work. Otherwise, we would be punished if the leader sees us gathering around."
After she said that, everyone left.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Cassie came over.
Yesseca was happy to see her.
After all, she knew that those people were not sincere, unlike Cassie. Cassie was the only one who'd helped her when she was in trouble just
now.
Yesseca poured Cassie a glass of hot water.
Taking the glass from her, Cassie whispered, "They came looking for you, didn't they?"
Yesseca nodded.
Cassie face was full of disdain. "People like them only care about power and would go to anyone who has it. Look at how they were currying favor with you when they found out you have such a rich, handsome boyfriend."
Yesseca blushed. "Cassie, he isn't my boyfriend."
Cassie said, "It's just a matter of time!"
Yesseca did not know what to say.
Helplessly, she thought to herself, "Although Cassie and Kyi in have only met a few times, they hit it off well. Even their words were the same."
"What are your plans?" Cassie asked again.
However, Yesseca was not planning to do anything about this matter. "Nothing. We're all colleagues. Let's pretend that nothing happened."
After thinking for a moment, Cassie said, "Are you going to let Enaryln get away with this too?"
Yesseca didn't say anything.
She did not intend to let it go.
Because Enaryln had gone too far.
When Walden was still there, Enarlyn had been fanning the flames.
Seeing that Yesseca had gone silent, Cassie added, "Yesseca, now that I think about it, someone must be behind this. Or else, how was that man able to find you and know about you?"
Then, she gestured discreetly at the counter where Enaryln was located and said, "Well, the happiest person here must be the one who was behind it."
Her thoughts were the same as Yesseca's.
Since she had nothing to hide from Cassie, she told her,
"Cassie, I think so too. But we need proof. So I will investigate it."
"You can ask your boyfriend for help. He will be able to get find out who was behind it for sure for sure," Cassie said firmly.
Yesseca blushed. "Cassie! I told you he's not my boyfriend!"
However, Cassie poked Yesseca's face and said, "I know you're just being shy."
Kylin acted quickly.
An hour later, he called Cassie.
