The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1048

Blake thought, 'They say to tell me fresh gossip? They had set me up. I wouldn't have come if I knew they were taking advantage of me. Never have I ever let someone take advantage of me.'

Blake nudged the person beside her with her elbow, "Hey, isn't my boss who approves my salary here? With him around, I don't have to treat for this meal today."

Christina Hartwell was the top performer in the Sales Department. She had a melodious voice with a sweet Taiwanese accent. Many people in the company were fascinated by her. With her beautifully manicured fingers under her chin, she blinked her big eyes at Kevin. The male colleagues around her were stunned by her state.

Christina said, "Blake, from what I'm hearing, it seems like there's something between you and Mr. Harrison. Are you two in a relationship?"

"No way! The company prohibits office romances. If they find out, the couple could get fired. However, I don't think Mr. Harrison would be the one to lead in breaking company rules, right?"

Kevin drank his glass of water quietly without eating any grilled food on the table.

While Blake was earnestly having her meal, her phone suddenly vibrated. To her surprise, she received another transfer of five hundred dollars and a message from Christina, [Let's switch seats.]

'I'm going to be rich! A thousand dollars in hand!' Blake thought. She quickly replied, [Sure, no problem.]

Blake pretended to have a stomachache and excused herself to the restroom, allowing Christina to sit beside Kevin. Blake saw Kevin and Christina were having a spirited chat as soon as she left.

'I had never seen him talk so much even though we commuted together.' Blake thought to herself.

Blake suddenly lost interest after seeing her colleagues had not finished eating. She found a less smoky spot to freshen up herself. Suddenly, someone walked over, sat beside her, and asked, "Had enough to eat?"

Blake looked up in surprise as Edison Langley handed her a can of beer. Without much thought, she took a sip, and her face contorted. "Urgh, it's tastes awful."

"Have you never drank alcohol before?" Edison asked.
