As soon as the crowd stepped out of on call room, all gazed at no one but Naomi Fisher. There was no pity, no envy in the eyes of watchers. Instead, there was disgust, aversion, mockery, and also disbelief.
Now all the false facade fell realizing Naomi was just making them seem like they were a couple and always had a reason to define why she wasn't with Aaron.
'He likes to stay professional,' when he was passing by them without looking at her. 'We would like to keep a low profile,' when Aaron was in any simple company celebration parties. 'No distraction while on duty,' when he never took her as his assistant. 'No bias.' When he gave her no special treatment but scolded her if she made a mistake.
They couldn't believe Naomi fooled them for three whole years. But thinking further, she got to lie because they had encouraged her to do so by giving their attention.
