"Maybe the CEO wasn't happy last week," someone answered. "I heard a ton of employees got fired and arrested."
"Damn," the first one hissed.
"But it could also be cause of her." I just knew they were pointing at me.
"The pregnant woman?" someone asked.
Yup, definitely me.
"Why would she be a concern?" the initial person asked.
