Amy impatiently rapped her fingers on her leggings covered thighs. She was currently on her way to the gym with Ste who was currently driving. The older woman watched Amy who looked troubled from the get-go.


    "Is everything okay dear?" There was evident worry in her tone.


    "I''m fine", she responded absentmindedly.


    Ste thought Amy was in a mood due to pregnancy hormones so she didn''t push the matter and focused on driving.


    The previous day''s incident had thrown Amy off. Ian was a healthy neen year old young man but never in a million years did she think he would disrespect his grandmother like that. He was mostly quiet but very kind, like Ste, but not that.


    After hearing his name from the lewd sounds, she went back to her workstation. From there, she watched from the CCTV a young brte, probably seventeen or eighteen exit the storeroom after Ian. Amy nned to privately talk to him since he was a young adult but the boy disappeared after walking out the girl. Ste hadter told her he left the library saying he was unwell.


    Odd. He didn''t know that she knew so why run away? What changed now? Is Ian really that type of boy or could there be something more to the story?


    "Ste?"


    p "Hm?"</anda>


    "I know this is random but does.... Ian have a girlfriend?"


    Ste was taken aback by the question but still responded truthfully. "As far as I know, no. He may be a looker and attract girls but he never pursues them. He prefers to keep to himself because he''s awkward around them."


    Amy''s brows rose from shock. But that didn''t seem to be the case from the day before, Amy wanted to shout. Ste chuckled when she saw Amy''s expression.


    "It''s true. He may have taken a lot after his grandfather, but he''s nothing like what Richard used to be: a yer." Ste grimaced when she reminisced of the past. But a beautiful smile appeared as she quickly added, "Until he met me."


    Amy only smiled and left the matter. She decided to talk to him about it. Should he not change since she''ll obviously be watching him, she would bring the issue forward to Ste.


    Soon, they arrived at the gym and went to their respective sses. The exercises were instantly a source of calm; it was probably because they pushed her flexibility to a new limit. Pedro was more attentive to his students since he was introducing new moves.


    Like most, Amy could not keep her legs still when doing the teaser. They were shaking so much she felt the urge to put them down. When Pedro saw this, he went to stand in front of her before holding her legs.


    "Now sit up", he gently instructed. Amy''s face contorted in pain but she did as told. "Breath through the stretch. Breath in, and out. In, out. In, out."


    Amy followed his instructions and felt the pain slightly lessen. She was so focused on achieving this position she did not notice someone was watching her at the moment. The person''s face pulled into an ugly re from watching the scene. They took their phone and quickly snapped some photos before going away.


    "Good job everyone. Now let''s move onto another position", Pedro instructed as he moved away from Amy.


    Two hourster, the ss came to an end. She went to find Adrianne and Ste who would be waiting for her by the exit. She was in such happy spirits that she had a bounce in her step only for it to slow down. Likest time, there were three women surrounding Adrianne and Ste. Both parties looked like they were ready to fight.


    "Are you going to keep defending her?" One ck-haired woman asked aggressively.


    "She didn''t do anything", Ste shouted.


    "Ha! How much did she pay you? With a stay at home husband, you must have been desperate for money! Despicable!" The brte woman attacked.


    But, as soon as she finished speaking, her face violently swung to the side, her ears rung and her cheek burned. The sound of the p was so loud it drew the attention of passersby in the gym. Ste''s eyes were bloodshot red after delivering the p.


    "You do not talk about my husband like that! You don''t know anything about him!" Her re was fierce.


    Whispers bloomed among the audience and pointed at Ste as they spoke. Ste could tell they were mocking her but she put on an indifferent fa?ade.


    "That just proves it to be true!" The brte taunted while holding her cheek. There was fear in her eyes after feeling the strength in Ste''s p. She would not dare fight her.


    "And how much did you receive Adria-" The blonde one spoke but was quickly interrupted by Adrianne.


    "Oh! Don''t you go there or I will fuck you up!" Adrianne red at her.


    "So you can silence me? Not today! I will expose you all! Everyone! We all know the rules of the cardio and ptes sses! We are all expected to be professional especially after the Louise case", spoke the blonde woman.


    Everyone knew of the Louise case. The woman joined the cardio sses to seduce Enzo but after being turned down by him, she joined the ptes ss to seduce Pedro. The woman was so obsessed with the two men she wanted to have them. She would try little tricks to get them to touch her. When they both turned her down, she used them of sexual harassment. But luckily, they used the security footage to clear their names.


    Louise was banned and everyone at the gym was expected to be professional if not they would be banned too. When the women saw this, they started to piece things together. It seemed the pretty woman had paid Adrianne and Ste to help her. Now everyone looked at the two in disdain who were currently ring at the women.


    "Are you still going to deny it? Well, it just so happens I have evidence! Everyone! I have pictures of the new woman in action! Have a look!" The blonde quickly fished out her phone, unlocked it and raised her hand to show the pictures she took earlier.


    The people gasped when they saw what was on the phone. Ste and Adrianne remained quiet, wracking their brains on how to clear Amy''s name before the said womanes back. The three woman looked at the two in disdain along with everyone.


    "Let''s see you refu- ah!" The blonde''s smug smile quickly turned into a pain filled scream when her phone suddenly flew out of her hand before a fair hand swiftly caught the device.


    Silence.
