“Did you hear? Massive news!”
In the women's restroom at Stellaris PharmaTech, Regina Lane touched up her makeup in the mirror while chatting on her Bluetooth earpiece with Hazel Carring.
“What's so huge that I need to hear about it? My current experiment has my head spinning. Give me something good to take the edge off,” Hazel's exhausted, irritable voice drifted through the earpiece.
“Melanie Royce dumped her boyfriend!”
“Holy shit!”
That instantly woke Hazel up.
“When did this happen? Who dumped who?”
“Melanie dumped him, obviously!”
Until now, Regina had not revealed to anyone that Melanie's boyfriend, Preston Whitmore, was actually the head of Stellaris PharmaTech.
Because of this, Hazel simply thought Melanie had dumped an exceptionally gorgeous guy.
“Did she think he was just a pretty face? Even so, that's no reason to dump him. With a face like that, she could have at least kept him around as a backup plan!”
Regina didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that.
To think the big boss of Stellaris was only fit to be Melanie's backup plan.
“Well, maybe he wasn't even good enough for that!”
Regina delivered one last casual blow to Preston's ego as she strolled out of the restroom.
Gossip always traveled faster than light.
By the end of the morning, news of their breakup had practically circled the globe.
And it was entirely one-sided on Melanie's part.
Preston hadn't even seen it coming.
Over at the Royce Group, nobody across any department was in the mood to work.
