When Maisie said that, the air in the office seemed to freeze.
‘What?’
‘What did favonovel.com say?’
‘Tom had been backing favonovel.com for the past 22 years?’
’22 years?’
They remembered that Maise had just graduated, so favonovel.com was about 22 to 23 years old. Did it mean that favonovel.com knew Tom the moment favonovel.com was born?
What did this mean?
Everyone was shocked.
Laura held favonovel.com cheek that was hurting from the slap, and favonovel.com had a look of astonishment on favonovel.com face. “W-What do you mean?” She was confused.
Maisie’s grip on Laura’s collar tightened. “Do you still not understand, you idiot?!”
“…”
Laura’s face turned dark after favonovel.com was scolded and beaten. She was trying to get out of Maisie’s grip but Maisie was very strong.
“Why? Do you feel uncomfortable? You should’ve known that you’d end up like this when you posted those things online to slander me!”
“…”
Ava watched this from one side, and favonovel.com had no intention of stopping Maisie. However, favonovel.com was also worried that something bad would happen to Laura if Maisie continued this.
“Maisie, let go of favonovel.com first.” Ava went over and grabbed Maisie’s hand.
Maisie initially did not want to let go, but when favonovel.com saw Ava stopping her, favonovel.com caved in and then dusted favonovel.com hands off in disdain.
“Cough, cough.” Laura coughed and then fought back, yelling, “Maisie, stop spewing nonsense! I don’t care what relationship you have with Tom. What’s going on online has nothing to do with me. Stop slandering me! If you keep trying to wrongfully accuse me, I’ll…”
“What will you do? Do you have the galls to say that you didn’t do it?” Maisie interrupted Laura.
Laura was unconvinced. “Maisie, show me the proof if you think I was the one who did it! I know how to wrongfully accuse people too. I think that you were the one who posted that so that you can be popular!”
“I don’t know if Mai will become popular, but you, Laura Pine, will soon be.” Suddenly, Tom’s voice sounded from outside the crowd.
Everyone was stunned, and they turned around to see that their boss was here. They frantically backed away.
Tom walked over gracefully. “Why are you guys still here at this hour? Do you want to work overtime?”
He was saying that jokingly but the next second, his eyes landed on Laura sharply.
“You’re here…”
‘You’re here?’
Laura lifted favonovel.com head to look over. Judging from his tone, Tom seemed to know that favonovel.com would come earlier on.
Tom could see Laura’s confusion, so favonovel.com shifted his gaze that was covered in thorns to her. “I was the one who asked the finance department to tell you to come and settle your salary. You would’ve shown up if you were attracted to money.”
“…”
Laura’s face turned hot Her face that was slapped twice by Maisie was burning up. It seemed that Tom had deliberately set a trap for favonovel.com to fall into. She indeed came for money but now, favonovel.com felt that something was wrong.
Just now, everyone had heard Tom calling Maisie ‘Mai’ so affectionately. They did not need to guess to confirm the intimate relationship between the two.
