"Want to hear some juicy gossip?" Aoi asked Yoriko, during a break from work.

Yoriko's face lit up. "I always want to hear juicy gossip," she said eagerly.

Aoi whispered in Yoriko's ear. But then, Yoriko's face suddenly fell.

"What's wrong?" Aoi asked. "Did you already hear that rumor?"

"Actually," Yoriko said sadly, "I started that rumor myself, earlier today."

"Goodness," Aoi said. "Well, I suppose we've learned an important lesson from this."

"Yes!" Yoriko exclaimed. "In order to meet this office's thirst for gossip, I must start even more rumors!!"

Aoi sweat-dropped. "Don't look at me and say that."
