"I didn't expect that Linda is not only beautiful and academically proficient, but also sings so beautifully! It would be a shame if she didn't participate in The Voice!"

"Yes, I heard that Linda is not only the most beautiful girl in the surgical department, but also the most beautiful girl in the entire hospital. I heard that someone compared that old woman Rachel to her, and I almost died of laughter!"

"Rachel? The woman who is suspected of plagiarizing Linda's paper? How shameless!"

I felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words. Just when I was thinking about whether to leave, someone said, "Kevin, you and Linda are such a perfect match, when will you hold a wedding banquet and invite all of us?"

"That's right, we have prepared the money for the gifts in advance, and we are just waiting for that day!"

" Of course! You two are a perfect match made in heaven, give me a kiss!"

Others followed suit: "Give me a kiss!"

Kevin looked at me awkwardly and explained, "You misunderstood. Linda and I are childhood sweethearts. She is my girlfriend."

The others were stunned for a moment, and someone said, "No way, when did your vision become so bad? It's very ordinary."

"Compared to Linda, one is in heaven and the other is in hell. Are you kidding us?"

Linda looked at me with a smile and added: "How come you don't know her? She is a beautiful doctor who is outstanding in both surgery and orthopedics in our hospital, Dr. Rachel !" Everyone was surprised when they heard my name.

" She is Rachel?" someone couldn't help asking. Kevin didn't respond, which was considered as a tacit agreement. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very strange, and the eyes of others looked at me with contempt.

"She was the one who plagiarized Linda's paper? How shameless! She dared to embarrass herself in public!"

"Linda is a kind-hearted person, so she is willing to let bygones be bygones. If it were me, I would have poured a glass of cold water on her a long time ago."

Kevin was about to say something but stopped talking, and finally drank a glass of wine in silence to ease the awkwardness. I felt the hostile gazes from all directions, and I just wanted to escape.

Just as I stood up, Linda suddenly fell down beside me, and the document bag in her hand fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor.

"What's wrong with you? You must have done it on purpose!" Someone yelled at me after helping Linda up.

" You are so petty!"

"Ugly people are more likely to do weird things!"

I immediately became the target of public criticism. Linda picked up the cardboard box on the ground and said with an aggrieved look: "Rachel, if you want to see these manuscripts, just say so. Don't push me."
