"I never would've guessed Mr. Shaw was that kind of person!"
"There's a lot you don't see. How do you know Ms. Grant didn't try to seduce Mr. Shaw behind the scenes? Where there's smoke, there's fire!"
"But Ms. Grant doesn't seem like that kind of person…"
Evelyn Grant didn't listen to the rest.

Evelyn Grant had worked for years to become a lawyer. She couldn't let something like this tarnish her professional reputation.
But it would be a lie to say she wasn't affected at all.
