I Quit Being a Stepmother (Cypress Gem) novel Chapter 533

Kate didn't get angry. She smiled and said, "Lauren, I'm getting engaged next month. You have to come. We're colleagues, after all. There isn't a grudge between us that can't be resolved."

Lauren was shocked.

Surprised, Gisselle asked, "Wait, you're getting engaged? With Mr. Burton?"

Kate nodded. "Yeah, Ms. Bowman."

"Congrats!"

"Congratulations!"

One by one, everyone offered their well-wishes.

Kate smiled shyly. "I hope you all can make it."

"Of course we will!"

"Definitely!"

Lauren narrowed her eyes. It was no wonder this bitch had been walking around all morning with that smug little look. It turned out that she had found a new guy to latch on to.

She pitied Sawyer at that moment.

She ignored Kate and headed to her desk.

At lunchtime, Lauren left the office to pick up some medication. The prescription from the hospital had run out.

"Yes, Mr. Burton."

Lauren frowned, looking serious. "Mr. Burton, do you believe in geomancy?"

Her question came out of nowhere. Fortunately, Sawyer knew that she wasn't crazy. From past investigations, he knew that she was simply malicious, not mentally ill.

"Miss, what exactly are you trying to say?" Sawyer asked, unusually patient.
