Chapter 2190


    Ste nced over at her, gave a slight nod, and went back to eating with her head down.


    As Jaylene fetched utensils, she engaged Sonia in conversation, "Sonia, our team leader mentioned


    she assigned you some tasks yesterday, but you didn''tplete them. What happened?"


    Sonia responded, "I finished the tasks she assigned to me. That particr one wasn''t on my list."


    Jaylene sighed, "Sonia, I understand you''re new here and might not enjoy these mundane tasks. But


    you were exempted from the regr process to join, which was already a special treatment. With


    everyone watching, certain tasks still need to bepleted. If you find them too challenging, I can ask


    your team leader to assign simpler ones. However, leaving tasks undone without informing anyone isn''t


    eptable. How can your team leader manage others if this happens?"


    Sonia pursed her lips and reiterated, "She didn''t assign me to handle that form. Ipleted the tasks


    she gave me.”


    Jaylene frowned, lightly tapping her fingers on the table, and whispered," Sonia, you''ve never lied


    before."


    Sonia''s fork slipped from her hand and ttered to the floor, her face paling slightly.


    Bang!


    Ste mmed the napkin onto the table, startling Jaylene. She turned to face her, a hint of


    displeasure in her eyes.


    Ste remarked casually, "Do you have to talk nonsense even during break time? Are you getting paid


    extra for this?"


    Jaylene''s expression darkened. "I was just chatting with Sonia. Why are you making such insinuations?


    Just because she''s someone you support, does that mean others can''t voice their opinions?"


    Jaylene''s voice grew louder, drawing attention from other cafeteria patrons.


    Ste looked up at her. "Is that what you call chatting? You''re insinuating that Sonia didn''tplete the


    tasks assigned by her team leader, but she''s stated twice now that she wasn''t assigned that task. Yet


    you use her of lying. Do you have any evidence to support that im?" "But her team leader said-"


    "Does her team leader''s words always represent the truth? Have you investigated this yourself? Are


    you biased? If you believe in trusting whoever you want based on your feelings, then I choose to


    believe Sonia. Can I then suspect that her team leader didn''t finish her own tasks and, fearing me


    from management, pushed the tasks that should have been hers onto Sonia to take the fall?"


    Jaylene''s expression soured. "You''re distorting the facts. Do you have evidence?" "No," Ste calmly


    lifted her gaze and said, "but do you have evidence to prove that Sonia was indeed assigned that task


    by her team leader?"


    Jaylene couldn''t respond, and at that moment, she spotted Sonia''s team leader. She was about to call


    out when the person took advantage of themotion and slipped out of the cafeteria.


    In this situation, the truth couldn''t be clearer.


    With a stiff expression, Jaylene dropped her fork and muttered " unbelievable" before leaving.

    The onlookers dispersed as well.


    Ste stood up, picked up a fork, and handed them to Sonia, saying softly," Let''s eat."


    Sonia looked at the fork in her hand for a while before whispering softly," I''m not lying."


    Ste was taken aback, then nodded. ì believe you."


    After finishing their meal and going to the pantry to get water, Kiara waited until they were alone to


    speak, "Ms. Hall, actually, you don''t need to argue with Ms. Saun about this. By standing up for her like


    this, you might actually make Sonia''s situation in the Perfume Blending Department even more


    difficult."


    Ste was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
