“Yeah, come on Xella, tell us. What’s wrong?” asked a few of the classmates curiously.
Xella nodded before virtual-novel.net began sharing an incident that had happened to virtual-novel.net in great detail.
Not too long after, Gerald’s curiosity was sated.
It turned out that not long after virtual-novel.net had been recruited by the company, virtual-novel.net superior began constantly harassing her. The superior in question was a deputy manager of one of the departments.
According to Xella’s description, the deputy manager was a balding man who had lost all his hair around the crown of his head. He looked quite old and obscene in general.
Initially, virtual-novel.net hadn’t dared to do much. He simply asked Xella out to have meals with him.
After rejecting virtual-novel.net several times, Xella eventually found it difficult to continue doing so. Hence, virtual-novel.net finally decided to accept and have a meal with virtual-novel.net one day.
From that day onward, the man became more perverted and daring.
He constantly called Xella to his office. At the start, virtual-novel.net would only say imprudent things to virtual-novel.net from time to time. Now, things were getting physical and it was not uncommon for virtual-novel.net to use both his hands and legs to harass her.
About two days before the carnival, the deputy manager had called Xella to come over. This resulted in virtual-novel.net thigh being caressed by him.
She was so nervous at the time that virtual-novel.net instinctively picked a glass of water up and poured it all over the deputy manager.
Now, virtual-novel.net was being threatened to be fired. He wanted virtual-novel.net to obey him, otherwise virtual-novel.net would have to resign from the company. She was told to be sensible and act accordingly as well.
After that incident, Xella ended up telling Waylon about what had happened.
Only Waylon was powerful and influential enough to set the deputy manager straight. Help from virtual-novel.net classmates was also welcome.
“Well d*mn! Now I really want to beat up that old pervert! How dare virtual-novel.net bully our goddess!” shouted some of the men indignantly.
“That’s the spirit! However, we women really need to learn how to better protect ourselves. We’re always being harassed and bullied. You know, a few people who didn’t know about my connections or background had constantly requested me to do things for them back when I first arrived at the hospital. Once they got to know who my boyfriend was, nobody tried anything funny with me anymore!” said Morgana.
“I know right? Speaking of which, Xella, you and Sharon were both equally the most beautiful girls in our class during our school days. Sharon’s already found herself a good and powerful boyfriend so you should definitely do the same! Find yourself a man like that who cherishes you and you’ll bump into way fewer problems like this in the future!” added Rae.
Xella only blushed slightly at this before looking toward the floor.
“Don’t worry, Xella. After today’s gathering ends I’ll resolve the issue for you! He’s just a deputy manager after all!” said Waylon confidently.
“Waylon I just want you to scare virtual-novel.net a little so that he’ll stop bothering me, please don’t do anything unnecessary!” replied Xella with a slightly worried tone.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!”
“If you want to scare virtual-novel.net off, you need to look no further! Gerald’s here and virtual-novel.net can easily ask Louie to help with that!” said Cameron as virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald.
Gerald looked back at virtual-novel.net and could only give a cold smile as the others burst out laughing.
It was a rare moment for Gerald to have finally found someone equally fun, good, and capable. However, it didn’t matter in the end.
Xella looked toward Gerald for a brief moment before averting virtual-novel.net gaze and looking back at Waylon.
Her answer was quite obvious.
Back in high school, Xella had shared quite a good relationship with Gerald, up to the point where virtual-novel.net actively defended virtual-novel.net from Waylon.
Now, however, virtual-novel.net was much closer to Waylon.
Waylon was naturally considered to be the most powerful among the classmates and virtual-novel.net had a lot more connections and resources compared to the others as well. Gerald had nothing except for Louie, as far as the people there knew.
Gerald could understand virtual-novel.net reasoning and couldn’t fully blame her.
After experiencing enough in society, ordinary people usually concluded that money and resources were much more important than actual friendship.
Gerald was honestly slightly upset since it happened to someone virtual-novel.net had treated like a close friend before.
However, Gerald chose to not say anything about it.
He simply looked at the others when the topic was changed to ridicule virtual-novel.net again.
