Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 753

Chapter 753: Whispering about me

"What is this, Juniper?" the manager snapped as soon as she stepped into his cabin. "You were supposed to get this right. This is the third time you’ve messed it up."

Juniper stood there, holding the file tightly, trying to remain composed.

"I’ll correct it," she said calmly. "But could you please point out where the data is mismatched?"

The manager frowned at her, clearly unimpressed.

"If I have to point it out for you, then what exactly are you being paid for?" he retorted sharply.

Juniper lowered her gaze slightly.

"I’m sorry," she said quietly.

There was nothing more to say.

She turned and walked out of the cabin, closing the door behind her.

Letting out a soft sigh, she returned to her desk and sat down, immediately opening her laptop again. Despite everything, she forced herself to focus.

A colleague sitting at the adjacent desk leaned slightly toward her.

"June, the manager is very particular," she said in a low voice. "You’ll have to impress him somehow."

Juniper rubbed her temple lightly, her eyes still scanning the screen.

"I don’t understand what he’s not liking," she murmured. "He mentioned the graph, but I’ve already recalculated the growth projections multiple times." A hint of frustration crept into her tone.

"June, you could always ask your ex for help," a male colleague said suddenly, leaning back in his chair. "I’m sure Prince Dominick would solve it for you in no time."

The words landed like a sharp blow.

Juniper’s expression darkened instantly, but she said nothing. She kept her eyes on the screen, choosing silence over reaction.

The colleague beside her frowned and nudged him lightly. "Stop it," she whispered. "That’s not appropriate."

He shrugged carelessly. "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Juniper’s fingers paused over the keyboard.

She slowly turned her head and looked at him with her sharp gaze. "Yes," she said curtly.

The single word carried enough weight to silence him.

Without adding anything more, she stood up from her seat and walked away, heading straight toward the pantry.

The moment she stepped inside, the noise of the office faded behind her.

She moved to the counter and began preparing herself a cup of coffee. As the machine hummed softly, she closed her eyes for a second and took a deep breath.

’Ignore it.’ That’s what she had been telling herself every day. ’For how long do I have to do that?’ She gripped the cup a little tighter.

’I never imagined things would turn out like this... people whispering about me, about my personal life.’ She lifted the cup and brought it to her lips.

"Ahh!"

She winced sharply, pulling the cup away as the hot coffee nearly burned her lips.

A faint sting spread across her mouth, breaking her thoughts and pulling her back to the present.

"Gosh!" Juniper muttered under her breath, still wincing slightly from the burn.

Before she could recover properly, her colleague’s voice interrupted her.

"June, the Director is here," Sarah said hurriedly, stepping into the pantry.

Juniper’s eyes widened.

"What?"
