They should have been dealing with the aftermath of the Sylmark projects. After three rounds of drinks, a few men were slightly tipsy.Josie played cards with the wives. She didn’t know how to play and kept making mistakes. The women sneered at her when they saw her flustered. Josic took a deep breath and restrained her emotions.“Alright, Mrs. Russell is a nice woman. Do you think she sits around and has nothing to do all day, just like you? Let’s stop playing” Mrs. Langman smiled and came to Josie’s rescue. She looked at Josie. “Why don’t you tell us how you got together with Mr. Russell? We want to hear about it.”Josie opened her mouth and glanced at Russell. He didn’t intend to come to her rescue. He held a cigarette in his hands.At this time, someone interrupted softly. “Isn’t Mrs. Russell the other woman who was promoted? While the daughter of the Olsen family wasn’t in the country, she shamelessly got married.”The air turned tense. Josie’s face paled before her cheeks flushed. One of the men at the main table quickly smoothed things over. “What do women know? Don’t talk nonsense about things you know nothing about. Don’t take it to heart, Mr. Russell.”
