Chapter 3

During lunch break, I went to the break room to heat up my meal.

As I was catching up on a show, I overheard two girls chatting nearby.

“Did you hear? Our manager just said there's a weirdo in the marketing department who added her mom to the work group.”

“Ha! That’s gone viral! Her mom even said her kid can’t use the toilet, so everyone should take care of her.”

“That’s hilarious! I’m going to stroll around the marketing department this afternoon to see who this giant baby is.”

I suddenly snapped back to reality; I had turned on do not disturb for the Marketing Work Group and missed the exciting drama.

Sure enough, when I opened the chat, the latest message was from Clara Bloom.

“Luna can’t even use the toilet, so you all should take care of her.”

But the only response was an awkward silence.

Clara didn’t give up and @mentioned everyone.

However, she wasn’t an admin, so she had to type “@everyone” herself.

In my previous life, her mom had only acted up in our small group.

This time, I wouldn’t go easy on her; if she wanted to embarrass herself, let it be in the big group.

The office was buzzing with a strange atmosphere in the afternoon.

Luna, however, seemed completely oblivious to her mistakes.

Her qualities as a mama’s girl were evident.

“My mom says women shouldn’t wear short skirts; that’s just asking for trouble.”

“My mom says women who get their nails done are vain; only plain girls get noticed.”

“My mom says just get by at work; women should focus on getting married—marriage is a woman's true career.”

“My mom says women who wear makeup lack confidence, unlike me; I’m naturally beautiful.”

“My mom says…”

So that entire afternoon, the office was overshadowed by “my mom says.”

What she didn’t realize was that while we appeared calm, the Marketing Hub was already in a frenzy.

“Seriously, does this person have a brain? Did HR hire her while asleep?”

“Ugh, we’re so unlucky that she’s in our department during her internship.”

“Well, it’s me who’s really unlucky! During lunch, she pulled me aside to teach her how to use the toilet! Even with a smart toilet, there are instructions on it! Did she really miss nine years of education?”

“Just endure it; she looks like she’s struggling to get hired anyway.”

I watched the lively chatter in the group and joined in the roasting.

In my previous life, I thought Luna was just starting out in her career.

Out of kindness, I tried to look after her.

But unexpectedly, she turned around and accused me of workplace bullying.

That deadly black coffee wasn’t even given to her by me.

She had sneakily taken it when she heard I bought expensive black coffee while I was on leave.

But no one expected that cup of coffee to cause her miscarriage, which indirectly cost me my life.

I had seen Luna’s greedy nature in my previous life.

She was a genuine journalism graduate.

She appeared low-key, sincere, and humble in daily life.

But at 3 PM, during afternoon tea time, Luna turned into a ravenous beast and rushed to the break room.

In full view of everyone, she returned to her desk with a bag of snacks and yogurt.

While others took a little at a time, she made a spectacle by taking a whole bag.

Even the admin raised an eyebrow when passing by.

As a result, that afternoon, the company group sent out a notice banning employees from taking large amounts of snacks at once.

It was clear to everyone that this was aimed at Luna.

But she seemed completely unfazed.
