Dulcie chose to let Audrey dwell in her delusions.
She was well aware that Kysonâs heart belonged to Lucinda, making Audreyâs provocations feel insignificant to her.
He would never fall for Audrey.
Dulcieâs disinterest only fueled Audreyâs frustration further, as she took it to mean Dulcie didnât care about her provocations at all.
The other female colleagues quickly rallied to Audreyâs side, attempting to soothe her.
âLet it go, Audrey.
Just ignore her.
Maybe she wonât pass the three -month internship.
No point in arguing.
Kurt is just a special assistant; he doesnât have the final say here.
â
âThatâs right; sheâs just jealous of you, Audrey.
Remember how she was fussing over Kyson the day he visited? And what happened? He rebuked her harshly.
Then, he turned his attention to you.
Of course, sheâs bitter about it.
â
The group grew louder and more illogical in their gossip.
Dulcie, growing weary of the noise, frowned, pulled out her headphones, cranked up the volume, and laid her head down on the desk to nap, effectively blocking out the surrounding clamor.
Work was finally over.
Dulcie wondered whether she should head to the underground parking lot or not.
Kyson hadnât wanted to go out with her in the morning.
He probably wouldnât come to pick her up.
But there was a possibility that heâd actually show up.
Heâd probably be upset if he showed up only to find her absent.

The argument they had yesterday wasnât making things easy.
And they still had eleven months left before their marriage could finally end.
She had to see him every day.
Dulcie finally decided on sending him a message.
She would just ask him and use the opportunity to apologize.
Everyone had their own issues.
She and Kyson werenât even that close.
She had no right to ask about his past and she shouldnât have mentioned what happened between him and Lucinda.
She unlocked her phone and was about to text when Audrey suddenly showed up beside her.
Startled, Dulcie quickly locked her phone screen, stopping Audrey from seeing anything.
âThatâs suspicious.
Whatâre you hiding? Are you texting Kurt? Itâs time to get off work.
Is he coming to pick you up? Do you want him to pick you up? What kind of car does he drive?â
Dulcie let out an annoyed sigh.
âNo, I donât know what kind of car heâs driving.
I already told you, I have nothing to do with him.
Quit pestering me.
â
Audrey hummed and rolled her eyes.
Swaying her hips, she walked back to her desk.
Dulcie stared at her screen, considering if she should still text Kyson when the director suddenly called her.
âDulcie, I need to see you now.
I have a task for you tomorrow.
â
âOkay, sir.
â
Dulcie hurried over to the directorâs office.
He had noticed her skills and arranged some new tasks for her to work on.
They talked for twenty minutes.
Once they were done, Dulcie walked out of his office to find everyone gone; only a few people were working overtime.
