“Didn’t they say that the boss’ ex-wife passed away?” someone muttered.

“Well, she’s well and alive, isn’t she? I heard she’s the new sales director in the company,” someone else said.

“Gosh, are they rekindling old flames?” A series of voices came from the office. For some reason, the words ‘rekindling old flames’ rang loud in Amber’s ears. She dug her fingernails into her palms as she clenched her fists, and her gaze dimmed as she thought about Rachel. So, this is the reason you’re back.

Rachel knitted her brows as her gaze turned cold. “It was all thanks to your fiancée, of course.”

“Don’t you dare accuse me!” The look on Amber’s face was one that was twisted with indignance. “Ignore her nonsense, Justin. I didn’t do anything. I just came here to bring you soup, and Charlotte said that she wanted some, but she was the one who intentionally overturned the bowl of soup!! would’ve been burnt if I hadn’t dodged the hot liquid.”
