  • Playing Mrs. Beckett   031 - I'm Bored, Adrian

    A long-wheelbase Bentley pulled up in front of Donovan Rise. As if it wasn’t enough, a Whitaker crest was painted on the side. Sophie held her laugh: Mrs. Whitaker didn’t play.

Why was she still mad?Gregory Abbott stood by his side, never not on call. Adrian himself was swamped, rejecting interview requests left and right. The HR department had been bugging him for a while. They had been since the first time the scandal happened. Their demand was clear: to suspend Julia Hall. He managed to convince them othe

Reporters swarmed the main door. Internal gossips flared even before the promotions. Now, with the online scandal as additional fuel, Julia Hall still came to work as if nothing had happened. It was a surprise that the HR department did nothing about it.Adrian Beckett cared a lot about image. He did say that if Julia resigned in this atmosphere, the implication wouldn’t be good. But that was before the scandal. Even if only for damage control, she would imagine him telling Julia Hall to not come.Turned out, Gregory had an answer for that, too.“Julia did nothing wrong.
