After being scolded by Maisie like this, Fiona gritted virtual-novel.net teeth. She glared at Maisie and Ava fiercely.
“Ava, you’re really underhanded. Whoever dares to be your colleague in the future will have to worry about being framed by you and being left with a criminal record. People like you will face retribution!” Fiona cursed angrily before virtual-novel.net turned and walked away.
Maisie sneered contemptuously in the direction Fiona left.
“Who does virtual-novel.net think virtual-novel.net is? She has sticky fingers and stole your bag because virtual-novel.net doesn’t have limits. But now she’s pushing the blame to you. I think virtual-novel.net not only has a personality problem but also a brain problem.” Maisie complained before turning virtual-novel.net head to comfort Ava again.
“Ava, don‘t pay attention to such people. She was detained because virtual-novel.net stole something. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Maisie, thank you.” Ava smiled and thanked Maisie, but virtual-novel.net was not affected by what Fiona said.
The other employees in the office did not speak. Instead, they all sat quietly in their seats. However, as soon as Ava and Maisie left, they started talking.
Kendra was desperately emphasizing that it was Ava’s mother, Raegan, who took the initiative to give them gifts. She was trying to distance herself from this whole kerfuffle.
Ava was not a fool. She also noticed that virtual-novel.net colleagues were looking at virtual-novel.net strangely, but virtual-novel.net did not care much about it. In this world, there were too many moments that virtual-novel.net could not understand anyway, so virtual-novel.net did not care. She only cared about the people close to her.
Just as Maisie had predicted, the decision to promote Ava as the design department manager came quickly. Great, more malicious remarks began to spread around in the office. It was not yet time for work, and those who arrived early had already raised various questions about this matter.
“See? I told you it’ll be Ava!”
“Miss Lowe already gave the answer long ago. Ava has such a good relationship with her, so she’d definitely tell Mr. Lowe to promote Ava!”
“This must be it!” Kendra also chimed in and affirmed.
“I didn’t expect Ava to be so backhanded. She used virtual-novel.net means to get rid of Fiona first so that no one in our office would compete with virtual-novel.net for this position!”
“No way! I don’t think Ava is that kind of person.”
There were also employees who disagreed with Kendra‘s statement. “She has the ability and qualifications for this position.”
“Oh, Penny, you’re still too young and inexperienced.” Kendra looked arrogant as if virtual-novel.net was the only one sober among drunkards.
The girl named Penny glanced indifferently at Kendra. “Aren’t you the same age as me?”
“…”
Kendra looked embarrassed. When virtual-novel.net was about to refute, virtual-novel.net saw Ava and Maisie coming in from the office door together.
Kendra curled virtual-novel.net lips in secret. In fact, virtual-novel.net envied Ava very much. She envied Ava for having such a rich mother and also envied virtual-novel.net friendship with Maisie, someone who could help virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net career. Hence, virtual-novel.net would try to slander Ava bit by bit every chance virtual-novel.net got. However, Ava had already seen through Kendra’s plans. She was just too lazy to deal with her.
Ava sat in virtual-novel.net seat and quickly entered virtual-novel.net working zone. However, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a strange sigh from one side.
“Sigh, some people are truly blessed. They don’t need to take any exams before getting promoted. They could be promoted by just being friends with a certain someone. I’m so envious.”
“That’s right, some people are just that lucky,” Kendra also chimed in.
