As Maya was leaving the room, she gave a side glance to Lucas. He was sitting there as if he had just lost the biggest battle of his life; so defeated. "Well it is true, he indeed was defeated by me, huh!" Maya thought as she said, "Ashely, meet me in my office and bring that report."
When she walked out Maya could still feel the stares of people, it felt a bit uncomfortable, she still did not know that was wrong... But one stern stare from her and no one could look at her.
...
"So I think it was because of that call in the morning that now everyone is talking about you being unfaithful and Lucas being the poor little guy." Ashely explained to her.
"What a joke! Only if they paid this much of attention in their work. But no one can blame them, everybody loves gossip. Leave it, it's nothing important."
"Do you want me to deal with it? You know PR, I am an expert in that!" Ashely said with excitement.
