Our law firm soon had a new rumor flying about. It said that I was a two-timer who had seduced Brandon and led William on. They also said I used my skills in bed to win Brandon over. Otherwise, with how ordinary I was, how could I win over Harriet?
Everywhere I went, people were talking about me behind my back. Ashley was the only one who was willing to speak to me. "Don't let it bother you. They're all just jealous. Ella, only children make choices. You're an adult. You can have both!" she chirped.
Brandon heard her words and asked, "Have what?"
Ashley quickly ran away. Brandon called me into his office and asked, "Have you heard the rumors going around the office recently?"
"Huh? What gossip? Oh. Yes, I did."
"Noelle, I'm curious, too. Between me and that brat, who would you choose?"
Huh? What? Was he kidding me?
