Chapter 124 Gossip


    Ophelia signed secretly. She thought thispany would be a better ce in which she could at least


    had friendly colleagues. It turned out that she took it too simple. Survival in the workce was a pretty


    precious skill, and wherever there were people, there will be disputes.


    A person who greeted you with a smile wasn''t necessarily treating you with sincerity. Sometimes it was


    hard to read people because their emotions always hide behind their faces. Most people in this


    company were friendly to her because she had a connection with Tassach. She knew there were lots of


    people who envy her good luck. She skipped the probation period and got the chance to Shanghai so


    easily that she was sure people would speak critically of her.


    No wonder people would believe in Gracie that she had an affair with Tassach. Tassach had given her


    too much privilege in thispany, which had be very unfair to other staff. If this went on, the


    gossip would be much more hurtful.


    Ophelia thought these were just nder, and they wouldn''t believe it even if they heard about it.


    However, how it seemed that her colleagues had believed in it.


    Ophelia heard her colleagues talking about her in the bathroom. She loved gossip, but she didn''t like


    the feeling of being gossiped about.


    It was two colleagues from her department that Ophelia once trusted and had a nice rtionship with.


    She was shocked that they would one day nder her with such mean words.


    One of them said, "I never thought she would be like this. She was hooking up with Mr. Conduibh


    during pregnancy? I heard that beautiful women have low moral bottom lines, and the prettier they


    were, the sluttier they would be. They will have a foot in several camps even if they are married. I didn''t


    believe this before, but now I''ve been convinced."


    The other one said, "But she''s pretty! Women like me didn''t even have the chance to set a foot in two


    camps. I can only find a stupid man to get married to and let him father a few children for me. We don''t


    have a lucky life like hers. She was dripping with gold and silver, beloved by a man like Mr. Conduibh.


    I''ve seen how seductive she is, I think Mr. Conduibh might not be her only one. There must be other


    senior executives that have been under her skirt."


    "Your words were a bit harsh, but I agree with it. She looked so seductive that I think that was exactly


    something she would do. She always seemed so unsatisfied... well well..."

    The two talked andughed in the bathroom for quite a while, and then they left together.


    Ophelia''s eyes were rimmed with tears. She felt so sad because she thought she had been getting


    along with her colleagues very well. Those words were so unexpecting and harsh. She couldn''t believe


    that these people believed in it without any proof.


    She felt bitterly disappointed.


    This reminded her of the nightmare that happened about four years ago. She was set up by a


    colleague that she thought she could trust. The woman used Ophelia of selling a contract to their


    company''spetitor. Thepany withdrew its charges against Ophelia atst, but she ended up


    with a one-million debt. She had no way to find that money until Zach approached her.


    The debt was paid atst, at the expense of her marriage with Zach.


    Over the years, she had been wondering what her life would be like without Zach.


    She might have ended up in a strip club, but that was just her hypothesis. Sometimes when people


    have left no choice, they would take the risk. They would rob the bank, or go astray.


    She didn''t have the guts to rob the bank, but she had a pretty face and a curved body that could earn


    her enough money.


    Ophelia had aplicated feeling after she heard what the two colleagues said about her. She had


    been through lots of things in the past few years, and she had grown strong enough to stand against


    gossips, but she still felt annoyed being talked about like that.


    She got out of the toilet cubicle and then refined her makeup. After she was sure everything on her


    face was fine, she walked out of the bathroom.


    When she was back to the design department, Elisa walked over and said, "Are you OK? What has


    taken you so long?"


    Ophelia shook her head and obviously didn''t want to talk about it.


    Elisa was rarely considerate and stopped asking.


    Everyone was working quietly. Just by then, Tassach opened the door and pped his hand. Then he


    said, "Everyone, can I have your attention, please?"


    Everyone in the design department raised their head.


    Tassach''s eyes skimmed over everyone, and then he continued, "Rumors have been spreading like


    crazy in thispany within just one day. I was to make this clear: this is our ce to make profits, not


    gossips. I''m the legal representative of thispany, if you keep spreading those gossip, it would ruin


    the reputation of me and the other person involved."


    He paused and added, "First, Ophelia from the design department are old friends. I take care of her


    because of our friendship. I don''t know who said that we had an improper rtionship. She was


    married and was pregnant, I don''t want this to set her and her husband against each other. Second, the


    director of the design department and I are friends, too. Our parents have known each other for


    decades. She has just started this work in mypany, but I think you''ve all seen her as a well-


    educated and talented person. That was why she was promoted so quickly. I''m not his boyfriend, and


    there''s no way that we will get engaged. I hope you won''t speak or act on hearsay."


    Gracie was standing behind him. She had heard every word of his.
