William Cole approached the elevator, but noticed Ruth Dawn hadn't followed him, so he returned to the lobby.
There, he caught sight of the standoff between Jackie Stone and Ruth.
"What's happening?" William asked.
Jackie gave him a dismissive glance, "Who are you?
What's it to you what I say to her?"
"I'm her husband," William said, moving to stand next to Ruth.
"Husband?
Ha, birds of a feather!" Jackie scoffed, raising her voice for all to hear, "Everyone, come look."
"This woman was my college classmate, she's the one who has been causing a stir these past days by selling subpar cosmetics, kicked out by the Dawn Sect."
People in the company lobby gathered around.
Pointing and whispering at Ruth and William.
"It's them!"
"This is outrageous!"
"They've tarnished the cosmetics industry!"
"Making money off harmful products, causing people's faces to deteriorate, how are these people supposed to live going forward?"
