318: Annie Sutton seeks Lydia Shire_2
And today, it was simply a slip of the tongue.
As soon as Lydia Shire spoke, some people began to snicker knowingly: "I agree, President Robinson has never had a woman by his side all these years. If he really had an ex-girlfriend, his forthright nature wouldn't allow him to hide it."
People began to agree with what Lydia Shire had said.
Even though they said as much, everyone knew deep down that this gossip might be true. They just didn't dare to speak it out loud.
Lydia Shire had really shot herself in the foot this time.
That last sentence was what really hit her the hardest.
Mr. Robinson's forthright nature means he would not hide anything.
That hurt.
That sentence really hurt.
The afternoon tea did not last long that day.
When it was time to leave, some made the excuse of having to pick up their children and left early.
When June Julian came in to clean up the tea set, she saw Lydia Shire sitting there, lost in thought, with her coffee half-drunk.
