She even laughed at Deirdre.

"Come on.You can’t seriously not know anything about that, right? Okay, so here’s the gossip.Mr.King and Brendan are actually really close.They’re so close they won't mind lending underwear to one another if the other needs it.

Deirdre was stunned.

The young woman in question blinked in confusion.She broke out a smile.

"Okay, why so serious all of a sudden? I really thought I must have said something really wrong for a sec.But I don’t think I got it wrong.This stuff is practically branded into my head.I don’t think I can even make a mistake about that!"
