After She Turned On Me, I Watched Her Fall

Chapter 3

Lucia's chest had gotten a lot fuller recently. From what I could tell, she was already a C cup. Her plump, full cleavage was so deep you could lose your gaze in it.

Pretty much every guy in the office could not tear his eyes away from her killer curves.

But the more Lucia's body filled out, the more perfume she doused herself in. That cloying, throat‑closing scent left Faye on edge every single day.

Faye said, "Lucia, can you stop spraying so much perfume? The whole office reeks of it. I am literally about to throw up."

Faye had tissues stuffed up both nostrils, and she looked absolutely furious.

Nina was not far off from blowing her top either.

She turned to me and said, "Yeah, Lucia. Nobody here can stand this. Felicity, don't you agree?"

I lifted my masked face, doing my best to ignore the thick, suffocating perfume fumes wrapping around me.

I replied, "Maybe you could switch up what perfume you use next time, and spray a little less. If you rotate different scents every day, we can at least breathe a little easier."

Lucia had been shrinking back a moment earlier, but she misread my comment as support, and her confidence immediately bounced right back.

She said, "See, only Felicity gets me. Are you guys just mad that my body got better, so you are picking fights with me for no reason?"

She continued, "What is the big deal if I switch to a different one tomorrow? This scent is not even that strong. Probably your noses are just extra sensitive."

With a loud huff, she plopped back down into her seat.

Faye saw me taking Lucia's side and rolled her eyes hard at me.

Nina just stormed straight out of the office, and when she came back, she had a mask pulled on over her face too.

A few days later, it was time for the monthly company team‑building outing.

Lucia went out of her way to dress up very maturely this time.

Back at past team‑building events, she had always thrown on the most basic plain clothes and showed up without even a lick of makeup.

But this time, she slipped into a brand‑new dress that pushed her chest together to make her cleavage even fuller and more striking.

She had even done up her face with a flawless, polished makeup look.

This team‑building outing was held at a barbecue restaurant.

Halfway through the meal, I excused myself to use the restroom. When I stepped back out into the hallway, I spotted Leo with two other coworkers, one scrawny and one round, leaning against the wall smoking and chatting casually.

The whole corner was thick with swirling smoke, so acrid it burned my throat just to breathe.

Leo did not know who I was. He flicked a cold, indifferent glance my way, let his eyes drag slowly over every inch of my body, lingering a little too long on my chest, then shifted his gaze away like nothing had happened at all.

I curled my lip into a frown and forced that twist of disgust down deep.

That was when the skinny guy spoke up to the other two.

He said, "The other day I saw this total bombshell with huge boobs over in the next department. I had never seen her before. I thought she was a client or something."

He added, "Turns out she works here, same company as us. Have you guys seen her yet?"

The fat guy took a deep drag off his cigarette, a drunk, creepy leer spreading across his face.

He said, "Yeah, I have seen her. Her name is Lucia. I even went out of my way to dig up her info, figured I would get her number and chat her up."

He continued, "That slutty b***h just turned me down flat. Acts like she is some hot prize every guy is dying to get with. I even gave her the honor of wanting her. What more does she want?"

He added, "And do not even get me started on that body of hers..."

All three of them stood there in the hallway, completely unbothered, talking casually about Lucia's body.

I had heard enough. I was just about to hurry past and leave when Leo finally opened his mouth.
