The four women were chatting in front of the sink while applying foundation and makeup. The laughter fell into silence when they saw Mikayla coming out from behind.
There was no expression on Mikayla's delicate face. However, it emitted invisible pressure.
The four women hurriedly packed up their things and were ready to find an excuse to leave.
Mikayla said, "You were talking about me, weren't you?" Actually, this was not a question, but an affirmation.
"No! We didn't say anything." One of the women shook her head wildly.
Mikayla washed her hands and turned to look at the four women with their heads down. "Who said that I was caught cheating before marriage?"
After a few minutes of silence, a woman stepped forward. "It's me!"
"Who told you the rumor?" Mikayla asked briefly in a light voice.
"I... I don't know! I heard it when I was gossiping." The woman stammered to explain.
"Give me your work cards and go back to work." Mikayla's words were very ruthless.
Although the four women were reluctant, they didn't dare to resist.
After all, Mikayla was not only the head of the company's marketing department but also the daughter of the Salvatore family.
The women put their work cards on the sink and left.
Mikayla looked at the cards and picked them up. Then she went back to the marketing department without lingering.
She went directly to Quinnlyn and put the four cards on her desk. "Inform the heads of these four people that the four want more work because they are bored."
Mikayla would never tolerate those who loved to chat and gossip during working hours.
She added, "Ah, check who spread the recent rumors about me in the company and which department he or she belongs to!"
"Okay, Ms. Salvatore." After finishing her work, Quinnlyn began to dial the numbers as soon as she found out who was in charge of the four women.
After a nutritious lunch delivered by Carlos, Mikayla rested in her office.
Mikayla was woken up by a sudden phone call.
Seeing the number that she still remembered, Mikayla really wished to have a bad memory.
Mikayla hesitated and hung up.
She had nothing to say to Jaxon, and she didn't want to have any other contact with him except that he was her cousin's husband.
The phone didn't ring again, but there was a text message.
Jaxon: [It's for business!]
Mikayla wondered, 'What kind of business could we have? I'm mainly engaged in Internet-related products, but he is in real estate... It's completely irrelevant.'
Mikayla wasn't given too much time to guess it before the phone rang again.
Mikayla picked it up.
"Mikayla!" The long-lost voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"What's up?" Mikayla's voice was obviously distant.
"Mikayla, are you so strange to me now?" Hearing Mikayla's voice, Jaxon was no longer as excited and anticipating as before. His heart seemed to be grabbed by something, which made him uncomfortable.
"Jaxon, you are my cousin-in-law now! Do you still want me to be passionate about you?" Mikayla smiled sarcastically and said, "If that's all you want to say, I'll hang up."
