When Emily arrived at the office, Carla was already waiting for her. "Emily," Carla called out as she walked in. "I saw your calls from last night. Sorry, you know I'm a heavy sleeper. Is everything okay?" Carla explained, her tone urgent.
"Yes, everything is fine," Emily assured her.
"What happened?" Carla asked curiously.
Emily took a deep breath and began recounting the events, explaining how Alex had been drugged by Olivia. Carla's expression shifted from concern to fury.
"How could she?!" Carla exclaimed angrily.
"And also, it wasn't her who saved his life," Emily continued.
Carla narrowed her eyes, developing a curious frown. "What do you mean?"
"It was me," Emily said quietly.
Carla's eyes widened in shock, her mouth dropping open. She was speechless, overwhelmed by the revelation. It was too much for her to digest as early morning gossip. She stared at Emily, trying to process the bombshell she had just dropped.
