There was apparent mockery as well as jealousy in their tones, in their laughs. They all despised her. Brianna heard pretty much all that they said, yet she remained quiet and pretended that she had not heard anything.
When it was about clock out time, it suddenly went quiet in the office. Brianna was working on an interior design sketch when she realized the sudden silence. She looked up from her laptop and saw Scott coming. Everyone greeted courteously, "Good afternoon, Mr. Scott Anderson."
Brianna stood up immediately and accidentally bumped her knees at the leg of the table. "Ouch." she cursed quietly.
Scott stood by the door, a hand in his pocket, and looked at Brianna coldly. No one dared to look at him directly except Brianna, and Brianna noticed the awkward silence and intention. She opened her mouth as if to say something but didn't know what to say.
Scott beckoned Brianna and turned around to leave.
