The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

When Ayla entered the office, she immediately felt the strange atmosphere, and she knew that those unfriendly gazes were cast upon her.

Had she accidentally offended them again? Linda came over to her side, and said, "Ayla, don't think you can come to work only when you want just because of your relationship with Mr.Clark."

Displeasure was evident in her tone.

Ayla was shocked.

How could Linda say something like that? It was like she was trying to accuse Ayla of being Brian's mistress.

All the rumors in the office yesterday were about Linda, but Ayla didn't want to get involved.

"Don't look at me like you're innocent.At the morning meeting, Mr.Clark mentioned it himself.He said you wouldn't be able to come to the company today.I think only an idiot wouldn't figure out what he meant.Don't even think of telling me that you didn't sleep with him last night!"

Linda's blatant words humiliated Ayla.

What was more, she said it to her in front of everyone in the office.

Ayla now realized that it was Brian who prevented her from having a foothold in the Clark Group.But she wasn't going to let him have his way.

"Miss Linda, you need to have evidence to prove your claims.Yesterday, all our colleagues were talking about you and Mr.Clark, and now, you're telling me that I was having an affair with him? Who are you trying to shame, me or you?" Ayla smirked at Linda.

"You...Whatever!"

Linda walked away and went back to her desk.

‘Don't look down on me just because you're a talented designer.As long as I'm here, I'll make sure you won't have a good future!’ Ayla hardly cared about the whispers in the office, but she was going to talk about this with Brian.

If he kept acting like this, she would have no choice but to leave.

The Smith family villa was busy at the moment.

Toby accompanied Molly to the hospital for a checkup.

It turned out that she had been pregnant for a month.
