Chapter 405 Being Isted


    Dispirited, J went back to thepany.


    At this time, Gerda was busy sketching some designs. "Tiffany wanted to see you. She said you


    should drop by her office once you''re back," she said.


    J nced at Tiffany''s office for a few seconds, stood up, and walked over reluctantly.


    "Back so soon? Seems like you didn''t find any evidence." Tiffany was reading a document while


    speaking. She didn''t even raise her head, but she knew that J was the one who came into her


    office.


    J replied, "I''ll need a few more days, but I''ll get you the evidence you need."


    Tiffany let out a sigh. "I''m inclined to trust you, but you each put your own spin on what really


    happenedst night. Since there isn''t any concrete evidence, as your superior, I have to stay


    objective about this. I can''t make my judgment based on personal biases. Just try your best to find


    an evidence to support your ims."


    J fell silent for a moment. ''It seems that Tiffany is saying that no action will be taken against this


    matter unless I find evidence.''


    "Okay. I understand." Tears welled up in J''s eyes when she left Tiffany''s office.


    *******


    After that interaction, J worked in thepany like normal.


    Sadly, the matter hadn''t blown over yet. Because they lost the quarterly bonus, all of her coworkers


    in the design department held a grudge against her and they vented their anger towards her.


    Though there wasn''t any evidence to prove which one of them was lying, most of their coworkers


    were on Patty''s side.


    The main reason was because Patty was the girlfriend of the Larson Group''s operations manager.


    And now, she and J were at odds. None of the employees dared to offend someone more


    influential and powerful than they were.


    Patty didn''t have a falling out with J because of this. She even acted like she was the bigger


    person by saying, "We''re all colleagues here. I think it''s better if we all be nice. I understand that


    there are many rumors circting about Lind. Though I''m not surprised that she''d do something like


    that, let''s all just let it go and move on."


    Gerda sat at her own station, craning her neck to get a better look at Patty. Patty spoke so loud that


    everyone in the office must''ve heard her.


    Pouting, Gerda lowered her head and said to J, "What a hypocrite she is! I once heard her


    speaking ill of you behind your back. She told our coworkers that you have a screw loose and that


    you''re too proud for your own good."

    J, on the other hand, just continued sketching her designs at her workstation in silence.


    Because of this matter, she saw Patty''s true colors.


    "Sooner orter, I''ll find the evidence to support my ims. For now, let''s just ignore them and focus


    on our work, shall we?" J replied nonchntly.


    Gerda let out a sigh. ''J is such a pushover,'' she thought. Because of Patty, J had now


    be the most hated person in the design department.


    Although the others weren''t openly saying it, they really hated J. Even someone as carefree as


    Gerda could clearly see that J was being isted by everybody else. It wouldn''t be an


    exaggeration to say that J had been caught in a terrible predicament.


    Throughout the entire design department, Gerda was the only one willing to talk to J now.


    J was pretending like it didn''t affect her, but in truth, it dampened her spirit.


    Just as her mood soured, her phone vibrated on the table.


    J stared at the caller ID nkly for a few seconds.


    It was a call from E Davian, her old college ssmate.


    J pondered for a moment. She rarely had ever contacted her college ssmates ever since


    they graduated, let alone someone she didn''t get along with like E.


    E used to be her roommate in college. They had some conflicts in the past, so their rtionship


    wasn''t very good.


    J wanted to ignore this call. But out of politeness, she picked up the phone.


    "Why''d you take so long to answer the phone, J?" E, as always, was short-tempered. She


    couldn''t bear the idea of others ignoring her.


    "Sorry, I was too busy to notice it right away," J replied insincerely.


    "It''s fine. I heard from another ssmate that you''re now working for the Larson Group. Does that


    mean you''re doing pretty good for yourself?" E spoke rather warmly over the phone. "There''s


    going to be a reunion party of our old college ss on Saturday night. You shoulde! Don''t


    forget it."
