Chapter 124
When she got to the living room, Cassian was already whipping up breakfast
She was seriously impressed with this guy! No matter how late he went to bed or how exhausted he was, he always managed to get up and make breakfast
It totally melled her heart. Honestly, she would’ve been fine just grabbing a granola bar or something.
But Cassian took it seriously. He felt like since work kept him so crazy busy, he couldn’t take care of her in other ways, so at least he could all the breakfast game.
Morning sleepyhead. Comme ent. Cassian said
“Coming,” Charlotte smiled and sat down at the talic.||
They chatted while eating together [
After breakfast, Charlotte hended to work
But the second she walked into the office, she could tell something was up.|||

Charlotte froze, wondering if she looked like a hot mess
Especially remembering how Cassian had been all over her neck last night, she felt a surge of panic.

“Hey, thats not fatr, I’m being objective–Ana’s not that kind of person
“Same. You’re just jealous,” someone else shot back
The two women talking shit about Charlotte got pissed. “Jealous? As if
The group started getting heated, arguing back and forth ||
When Charlotte came out of the bathroom, she frowned. She’d caught fragments of their conversation.]
Were they talking about her?]
But she’d just done a thorough check in the mirror–everything looked normal []
So what the hell were they gossiping about?
Someone spotted Clone and quickly cleared their throat to warn the others]
Everyone immediately scattered back to their desks. Holy shit, that was close
Getting busted talking trash was mortifying
They hunched over their computers, pretending to work while internally freaking out about whether Charlotte had heard them Sharlene had missed the whole thing–she’d herät 11 supply room []
When she saw Charlotte, she asked. “Hey Ana, want me to grab you some coffee?||
Charlotte nodded. “Yeah, thard be awesome.”
Sharlene rushed off to make coffee but came back almost immediately, her face full of genuine concern. “Ana, have you have you seen what’s blowing up on Twitter?”
