Chapter 35: rification
Pam eyed J warily.She never would’ve thought that J would dare to make a scene in public.
"You lunatic! How dare you record me? I was having a private conversation with a colleague! This is an
invasion of my privacy!"
She was so anxious that her voice turned shrill.
As she berated J, she tried to grab the phone from her.
But J acted quick and dodged her advance.
Looking at Pam sharply, she said, "You defamed me first.I’m going to call Mr.Lyman right now.We
can confront each other in his presence."
Then she strode out of the tea room and went straight to the director’s office.
She knocked on the door politely and announced, "Mr.Lyman, it’s Lind."
I snickered, thinking that J hade around so soon.
"Come in.What’s up?" he asked, feigning a concerned expression.
J opened the door and smiled slightly.
"Mr.Lyman, could youe out here please? There’s an emergency you need to deal with."
Was she actually asking him for help? Awesome! I cleared his throat and smiled greasily.
"Of course!"
He then followed J out and found a group of people waiting outside his office.
Pam was among them, looking nervous with eyes darting around and fists clenched tightly.
"What happened?" I looked around him in confusion.
"Mr.Lyman, somebody here has been spreading a rumor that we have an affair.She even went so far
as to tell people that we went to a hotelst night."
J’s voice was calm yet powerful.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at her.
As she spoke, she took out her phone and held it up.
In fact, I’s flirtatious hints were borderline harassment, which annoyed J.She wanted to put a stop
to this, so she took this as an opportunity to make him give up on her.
After he listened to the recording, It’s expression immediately darkened.
Now that J had spoken out about him in public, his n to win her over suddenly seemed lI wishful
thinking.
He never thought that J, who seemed to be a meek push-over, was actually a tough, capable
woman.He had no choice but to snort as though the rumor waspletely ridiculous.He cleared his
throat loudly and announced, "Everything that was mentioned in the recording is purely unfounded.I
had a meetingst night that ran all the way until midnight.If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask
my wife to testify? Lind and I are not involved with each other except in matters regarding work."
The crowd immediately burst into whispers now that the rumor was dispelled.
Since I even dared to mention his wife, it meant that there was really no affair between him and J.
With a serious look in his eyes, I pointed at Pam and frowned deeply.
"Since you have so much extra time to gossip, why don’t you focus on work instead? If I hear that a
rumor this spreads again, I’m going to report it to thepany leader."
All the color drained from Pam’s face.She knew that she was doomed this time.
No boss would ever tolerate a subordinate ndering his name.
The next day, as soon as J arrived at the office, the colleague sitting opposite to her suddenly
winked at her.
"Did you hear? Pam was demoted and transferred to an insignificant department."
J cocked her head to the side slightly.
After a short pause, she asked, "Was it Mr.Lyman’s doing?"
"Of course! You can’t just spread a rumor about your superior.In fact, I think Mr.Lyman actually showed
her mercy.At least he didn’t fire her.But I have a feeling that Pam won’t be staying with the Larson
Group for very long," the colleague said in a sing -song voice.
J smiled slightly.She figured that the real reason why I didn’t notify the authorities was because the
matter would also smear his name.

"Lind, I think you did well.Pam isn’t that capable a worker, but she can get really jealous.She was
always stirring up trouble and trying to put her other colleagues down.Now that she’s gone, I think our
department will be more peaceful."
Another colleague handed a little pastry to J and patted her on the shoulder.
"I support what you did.You were so brave yesterday."
A faint, warm smile pulled at the corners of J’s lips.
