e you going to become a stepmother?” Benson asked.
Layla replied, “Benson, you should consider a career change. Not even Tiffany could spin a story like you do.”
Benson shot back, “So, you knew that Tittany was the one spreading these rumors?”
Layla answered, “Since I joined this company, she’s been the only one who’s shown me unnecessary hostility. Who else could it be?

Just then, Tiffany, who was sitting by the entrance, approached them. “Hello. Are you here to look at houses?”
The elderly man nodded. “Yes, we’re here to look at houses. There was a young woman here before who was very attractive and helped me…” Tiffany smiled and said, “Aren’t I attractive as well? You can talk to me too. Please, come over here and register.”
