Chapter 2442
Their envy and jealousy were palpable.
However, Kyson publicly scolded Dulcie harshly, confirming she was already on his list of lazy employees.
They took satisfaction in that realization.
Their mocking tones were particularly cutting, causing Dulcie to stop typing.
She turned around and spoke in a calm yet assertive tone.
“I apologize for causing trouble for Audrey today, but there is no inappropriate relationship between Kurt and me.
Please refrain from spreading rumors.
”
Audrey sneered, “Stop pretending.
Kurt rarely defends anyone.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
You’re just a new intern.
Why else would he speak up for you in front of Mr.
Shaw?”
The others chimed in, one of them saying, “Exactly.
I remember she only got this job because Kurt intervened with personnel.
”
“Really? Is she… kept by Kurt?”

Instead of ceasing their discussion, they crossed a line.
Dulcie chose not to engage with them; they were impossible to reason with.
She focused on her remaining tasks.
Their laughter surrounded her, their eyes sharp with envy.
Some even wished ill upon her.
“Dulcie Burton!”
Kurt, who had just left with Kyson in the elevator, returned purposefully.
Instantly, the room fell silent.
Dulcie looked up, asking, “What’s going on?”
“Pack up your things and come with me.
”
She was taken aback.
“But I haven’t finished my work…”
“It’s your first day.
It’s okay.
There’s something urgent.
Let’s go.
”
With no other option, Dulcie saved her work, shut down her computer, and followed Kurt out.
Kurt told Dulcie to head toward the elevator first, and then delivered a stern warning to the gossiping employees.
“Concentrate on your tasks.
Stay out of others’ business.
Mr.
Shaw detests such unprofessional conduct.
If he hears you, you’ll all be fired.
Consider yourselves forewarned.
”
Silence followed his words as they remained seated.
Once Kurt departed, their mocking resumed.
“See? We were merely speculating, and Kurt was already defending the new intern.
He clearly favors her!”
