Chapter 103
Megan’s POV
I heard the commotion outside my office before I saw her. The sudden
drop in conversations, followed by whispers that grew louder. I looked
up
from my desk through the glass walls of my office and felt my
stomach clench.
Iris Stone. Back at work like nothing happened.
I rose slightly from my chair, moving closer to the door to listen. The office had gone eerily quiet as she spoke.
“If I had gone through an abortion, do you really think I’d be back at work the same day?” Her voice carried clearly across the open floor
plan.
My fingers dug into the doorframe. This bitch was publicly calling me
a liar.
I watched the faces of my colleagues–my subordinates–as they processed her words. The logical inconsistency in what they’d heard from me earlier today. Their expressions shifted from surprise to understanding, and several of them glanced toward my office.

Chapter 103
My wolf, usually so controlled in the workplace, was furious. How
dare she come in here and make me look like a fool?
I quietly closed my door and sank back into my chair, my heart pounding with rage. This was supposed to be my territory. My department. I’d worked for years to become design director, and this… this nobody thought she could waltz in and challenge me?
I pulled out my phone and opened our department chat group. The messages were already flooding in:
【Did you hear what Iris just said?】
[So Megan was lying about the abortion?]
【I knew something seemed off about that story]
[Early said Megan had something against Iris from day one】
I scrolled faster, my face growing hotter with each message.
[I said it before – she’s not a good person. Now she’s the one who
looks like a joke】
My fingers tightened around my phone. Who wrote that? I checked
the username: Lisa from accounting. I’d remember that.

Chapter 103
[Having that much hostility toward an intern? I really don’t
understand what Megan’s thinking】
I bit the inside of my cheek so hard I tasted blood. They were all
turning against me. All because of her.
【Let’s be honest, she’s just jealous of Iris】
The phone creaked in my grip. “Jealous?” I whispered to the empty
office. “Me? Jealous of her?”
I slammed my fist on the desk so hard my coffee mug jumped. “That’s
fucking ridiculous!”
I took a deep breath, trying to regain my composure. I couldn’t let them see me losing control. I was the design director. I was Sebastian Grey’s ex. I was supposed to be above this petty bullshit.
A notification popped up on my screen–the department head
intervening:
[Let’s keep the chat professional, everyone. Back to work.]
“Finally,” I muttered, feeling a small relief that someone was
maintaining order. But the damage was done. My credibility was shot, and it was all because of Iris Stone.

Chapter 103
I stood up, smoothing down my designer skirt and checking my
reflection in the small mirror on my wall. I looked perfectly put
together as always, though my eyes betrayed the storm brewing
inside me. I practiced my most professional smile before opening my
office door.
The moment I stepped into the hallway, I felt it–the shift in
atmosphere. Conversations died down as I walked past. People who
usually greeted me enthusiastically now gave tight–lipped nods or
suddenly found their computer screens fascinating.
