Articles, interview requests. She put her phone on mute after the fifth ding, with only a few exceptions on a white list.One of those on the white list was Lyla Orwell, her employee at her boutique, Meadow Lane.“Mrs. Beckett, are you okay?”Sophie chuckled. Twice she was asked the exact same thing.“Thank you for asking,

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. Her not coming to work would be an

    “Do you need to do all that, Sophie?” Adrian barged as they walked to the parking lot. “Must you say all that in front of everyone? In front of the Whitakers?

She turned, tilting her head. “Then explain it to me.”Adrian exhaled. “Julia is gone. I transferred her out of New York. Whatever happened between us is over.”“Is it?”“Yes.&rdquo
