Chapter 584

Helen tightened her fingers into fists and stepped out of the pantry. The murmured gossip came to an abrupt halt. "What's this? You have surveillance on me? Watching everything I do?" Helen's voice was calm but icy. "If you're so concerned about my private life, why don't you just ask me directly instead of making things up?" The two colleagues were stunned, clearly not expecting to be caught in the act. The awkwardness was palpable. Ethan Jones, the male colleague, stubbed out his cigarette and scratched his head before quickly walking away without a word. Hannah Rivers, his gossip partner, was left to face Helen alone. She bit her lip, struggling for words before managing, "It's just a misunderstanding… really, a misunderstanding…" Helen wasn't someone who sought conflict. Since starting at the firm, she made every effort to work diligently, avoid unnecessary drama, and maintain good relationships with her colleagues. But despite her efforts, the rumors about her never stopped.
