Chapter 8 by Gehrman Gehrman

Who is it?

Lock, a coworker.

Huh?”

A confused male voice entered Caitlyn’s ears, prompting her to open her eyes.

The person that entered her eyes was Lock, a coworker. He had black hair that was slightly messy and brown eyes that complimented each other. He was a head shorter than Caitlyn. His complexion was also fair, his skin shining more than women even, and his features were defined as well, but his face still gave an immaculate vibe.

In conclusion, he was not someone who could be mistaken as a model in the looks department, but he was not far from reaching that threshold either.

He was in his early twenties, apparently being a fresh graduate straight into his first job. Despite that fact, in the short while he had been here, he had managed to mesh in very well with everyone and had also become the most famous worker, in both males and females.

All in all, he was friendly and easy to approach, but for Caitlyn who wanted to stay as far away from the spotlight as possible, he was someone she couldn’t – didn’t want to – handle.

“Ah, if it isn’t Miss Caitlyn!”

Caitlyn heard the innocent-sounding voice in her ears and shook her head internally.

‘This guy doesn’t even know he’s that popular.’

Right, that was the kind of person Lock was. An innocent yet dense young man with charisma.

Without waiting for a reply, Lock continued, “I heard you got into trouble with the Boss. Don’t take it to heart.” He then said in a hushed voice, “I heard things aren’t going that well with his wife, so he gets grumpy. Haha.”

Caitlyn looked at the man laughing. Although he was backbiting, he did so with a pure expression, he didn’t seem to be aware of it. She couldn’t hate someone like that, even if he was a little hard to deal with.

It also helped that the target of that backbiting was the boss she so didn’t like.

“No, it’s fine. Don’t worry. It’s not like it’s the first time that happened.”

Caitlyn smiled in response, however that smile soon froze up after hearing what the man had to say next.

“By the way…Why are you coming out of there? Isn’t your cubicle the next one to it?”

Technically, Caitlyn had done nothing, but she felt like a criminal for various reasons at the moment.

She managed to not break her act.

“I just had some work with Sabrina, but she isn’t in there right now.”

“Sabrina…” Lock looked like he was remembering something and continued, “Ah! I just crossed her on my way back from the break room.”

‘Right.’

Sabrina must be heading there to look for the vibrator, but she won’t be finding it because it was no longer there.

Something else also clicked at that moment in her mind.

‘The man from before must be Lock then.’

Before, since she was much distance away from the door, she couldn’t hear the voice clearly.

“Do you want me to call for her-”

Caitlyn immediately interjected.

“No.”

“But…”

“I will tell her myself, you don’t need to worry.”

She really couldn’t have Lock go tell Sabrina, after all, she had nothing to back her roughly cooked-up excuse. A frown unknowingly appeared on her face but disappeared instantly.

After seeing the frown, Lock flinched before laughing sheepishly and scratching his head.

“Well, tell me if you need any help. I will do my best.”

“Okay, I will. Now go and work.”

Lock stopped and turned around, “You have to tell me, alright?”

Caitlyn just nodded her head, while watching Lock go.

‘Why is he acting like that?’

She sighed and entered her cubicle before Sabrina could come back.

She thought about the information she had acquired, Sabrina’s OnlyFans, and debated whether to check it out right now, but her gaze landed on the pile of documents on her desk, and an even bigger sigh escaped her lips.

What's next?
