Recognition of a relationship status

"I will answer your questions. Alright, this time I'll say it, my relationship with Mr. August. He and I are a couple." I was forced to say that because the employees in the office started to attack and terrorize me about what was happening between us.

Previously, I was sitting comfortably at my desk, working on all the tasks assigned by my superior, without looking around. Eventually, I realized that several people in this division were gathering near my desk. They were talking while occasionally glancing in my direction.

I was sure they were talking about what happened this morning when Mr. August and I arrived at the office together. Then, I saw Mina among them, looking at me with questions in her eyes. After one of them said something to Mina, they called me over and asked about the recent events.
