C100 The Blurred Girl From Photos

The moment the office doors closed behind us, the entire department exploded into discussion.

“I told you something was strange.” “But she called him brother!” “Maybe they’re really related.” “No way.” “Then explain why she waits for him every day.”

Alex rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “I think she’s the blurred girl from those photos.”

The office instantly became noisy again. Bright crossed his arms. “We’ll find out on Monday.”

Meanwhile, outside the building, Chris was already waiting near the bicycle racks. The moment he saw us approaching, a grin appeared on his face.

“See? You two work in neighboring departments and somehow always leave together.” He paused before suddenly laughing. “Oh, and Brother…”

He pointed at me dramatically. “Today you’re not sweating.” Alicia immediately laughed. I rolled my eyes. “That’s because somebody made my colleagues stare at me all afternoon.”

Alicia folded her arms. “Are your colleagues always this free? Why do they talk so much?” Chris chuckled. “Trust me. Compared to the Administration Department, they’re amateurs.”

Chris suddenly remembered something. “Oh, right.” His expression became serious. “I heard from my colleagues you were trending today.”

He looked at me carefully. “What exactly did you do this time?” Alicia immediately remembered the same thing.

Earlier during the day, she had seen the post while scrolling through Weibo. The accusations were ridiculous. Yet thousands of people seemed willing to believe them.

She had also noticed the photograph from the café. Fortunately, her face had been blurred. Otherwise she would have been dragged into the drama too.

I couldn’t help laughing. “My big day somehow became even bigger.” Chris waited. I continued. “First salary.” “Then a company reward.” “And finally…”

I pointed at myself proudly. “They gave me a girlfriend.” Alicia burst out laughing.
