Chapter 375
“Look at Miss Wade, she’s crying so hard.”
“Yeah, she used to have it all, you know. But now…”
“I heard that she and Mr. Wall were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together. Who would have thought—”
“Shh! Keep it down! Don’t let anyone else hear what you’re about to say.” Their comments cut deep, humiliating Kyla further.
Tina lurked among the crowd, and she had seen everything unfold before her eyes. Needless to say, she was astonished by this turn of events.
Her colleagues had told her that Kyla was Noah’s fiancée, and that they were to be married soon. But it was clear from Kyla’s outburst that that wasn’t the case at all.
Samuel turned to the secretary and gestured for her to help Kyla up.
“Please, Miss Wade,” the secretary said cautiously.
Kyla still said nothing, but she allowed herself to be taken away from the top floor.
As soon as she disappeared into the elevator, the busybodies gradually dispersed and returned to their desks.
This included Tina, who immediately grabbed her phone and called Sadie.
“Hey, Sadie! Guess what just happened?” She sounded all too eager to share some fresh gossip.
“What happened?” Sadie said in a weary voice.
“We just saw Kyla bawling her eyes out in front of Mr. Wall’s office. He didn’t even open the door! A secretary had to take her away.” Tina could barely contain her excitement as she recounted the event. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
“What?” Sadie asked in obvious disbelief.
“She was crying so hard, her foundation turned into mud, and her mascara was running down her cheeks. Oh, oh! And everyone was watching, too! Apparently, Mr. Wall refused to see her and instructed Samuel to tell her to know where she stands.”

“Know where she stands?” Sadie repeated with growing unease.
“Yes! Then my colleagues started talking about how they always thought Kyla was Mr. Wall’s fiancée. But now…” Tina lowered her voice before continuing, “It looks like Mr. Wall never saw her that way.”
Sadie’s grip tightened around her phone. She couldn’t bring herself to say anything at the moment.
“Sadie, are you still there?” Tina prompted. “Did you hear what I just said?”
“I’m here,” Sadie said, snapping back to the present.
Tina chattered away for a while longer, then they hung up.
Sadie put her phone down and gazed out the window, looking lost and confused.
Had Noah really treated Kyla like that?
She was the woman he used to cherish and protect with everything he had.
How could he be so cold to her now?
Sadie couldn’t quite wrap her head around it.

Sadie’s mind was swirling with unanswered questions that refused to go away. It was like a thick fog had descended over her, clouding her vision. She couldn’t understand Noah’s heart.
Soon, she became overwhelmed, struggling to breathe properly.
She shut her eyes and told herself to calm down.
Her office door suddenly opened, and Nanette walked in.
