No one here is stupid enough to believe such a thing.
So, Rian is rigging the game by coming in second place every time?
Such a rumor slowly spread among the crowd and the whispers became louder with each passing second.
From mouth to mouth, the rumor reached Tibbath - who was working at the canteen and thus was basically at the center of gossip point - and from him it reached Cyril's ears.
He frowned and looked at Mr Fraer who was at a distance from him. He saw the cold smirk latched onto his lips and his frown deepened.
"Mr Cyril, how do you want to deal with this rumor? If this continues, I don't know how the customers would react later. We won't be able to handle them all by ourselves, you know?" Tibbath asked in worry.
He did not try to extricate himself from the issue just because he heard there is a problem on Cyril's end. He always included himself about how 'we' would deal with the problem.
