"All I'm saying is that she's young and has two little kids, and I know for a fact that she isn't married because she signed up to the doctors... just her and the other two," Lauren said snidely as she stood up and went behind the counter.

Honestly, it was always like a competition in this place.

Who had the best gossip, who's shacked up with who, what so and so had for dinner and if it was burnt or not.

You couldn't even change your panties in this town without someone knowing what style and color they were.

Although I'd lived in this town all my life, I hated it sometimes, but that's what you get I suppose, for living in a place this small.

No one had anything better to do with their lives, so they gossiped, spread rumors and caused hell.

"Lauren, I know you only work part-time with my husband, but that doesn't exclude you from patient confidentiality. You have no right to gossip about who does or doesn't go into his office," I said sternly.

Her face dropped for a moment before smiling sweetly back at me.

"Of course, Mrs. Cullen, I'll be sure to remember that," she turned her back on me to serve the next customer.

Bitch.
