The moment Laura stepped into the office, the quiet murmurs began.
Several employees exchanged knowing glances, their eyes following her as she walked toward her desk.
"Is that her?"
"I heard she was with Mr. Villafuerte."
"Really? The CEO himself?"
The whispers grew from one desk to another, spreading across the office like wildfire.
Some tried to hide their curiosity behind computer screens, while others openly glanced at Laura before leaning closer to their coworkers.
"They kissed at the company ball."
Another employee immediately leaned closer.
"I saw it myself. Everyone did."
"So the rumors are true? Laura and Mr. Villafuerte are really together?"
"I don't know," another whispered. "But why else would the CEO himself be dancing and kissing with the secretary last night?"
