CHAPTER 23

Serena thought she has misunderstood Elliot’s words as a result of stress.

She simply couldn't believe what he just said.

“I ... People are going to make up new rumors out of it” she pulled her hair behind her ear trying to find a way to reject him politely “and spread the fuss that we have an external treatment outside the professional”.

“Tell me Ms. Jean” he stocked his hands in his suit trousers and took a step forward “will they be far from the truth?”

Serena gave a step back. There was definitely something in the water and she could tell the crowd in front of her door and her boss ingested it.

“We both know the truth, don’t we?” he continued “it's our secret” he whispered; Serena’s pulse raised.

“What do you mean?” she asked fighting the spell that those eyes could cast her.

“I mean, the truth is solely known by us but they have still drawn their conclusions”

Meaning, whatever move they make will be misinterpreted anyway.
