SWNOVELS Chapter 152
Chapter 152
Every day when she passed by Carlos‘ office on the way home, she always paid more attention.
It seemed that she could find Carlos if she paid more attention to his company.
But that was not the case.
In the office, her relationship with colleagues worsened. Even when she went to the canteen for dinner, she was excluded.
Others thought that Carlos didn’t pick her up and merely abandoned her.
All of them mocked her out of malice.
She suddenly recalled her dream,
She thought, “These people stand by coldly and mock my miserable situation.
This dream seems like a precursor to everything else that happens today.
He told me how to deal with this kind of problem.
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. I can’t show mercy.
I understand these words but cannot apply them in practice. It is cruel.
I want to work hard and succeed in this company!
But I also need protection.
Who doesn’t want to be cared for and loved?”
She took a deep breath to clear her thoughts.
She was having lunch alone when she heard someone talking about her behind her.
“Tut–tut, tut–tut, she is so pitiful now. I haven’t even seen that luxury car these days. Has she been dumped? Does she want to marry into a wealthy family? She must be dreaming.”
“Hey, why are you talking so loudly? Isn’t it obvious that you make her heartbroken? Did she show off before? Now can she crack a smile? Can she?”
“We are qualified to work here. But look at her. She actually relied on a man to get her position. How shameless.”
A heated discussion was on the way.
Summer, who was eating by the side, couldn’t stand people’s gossip and sat down opposite Edith with lunch.
Summer put down the lunch box heavily and glared at them. “It’s so noisy when you’re having a mea “teen is not
Edith was surprised by Summer, who always looked tender but now behaved imposingly.
Shocked by these words, the others were speechless.
Summer sat down to eat and then said, “Leave them. Don’t mind about their gossip.”
“Wow, awesome! I thought you would never lose your temper!”
“Everyone has their limits. It’s just a matter of when they will lose their temper. I believe you are not the culprit.”
“I’m touched!” Edith held onto Summer’s hand tightly.
Edith thought. “I can’t believe you’re willing to stand up to support me. It’s a blessing to have a friend like you.”
private space.”
“By the way, hasn’t Mr. Lpson contacted you yet? What have his friends been doing recently? It seems that they are plotting something serious. Robert, a playboy, doesn’t flirt with other women.”
Her questions rendered Edith’s face stern.
Edith thought, “Robert is still in Caurtine and could be connected. However, I have not heard from Carlos for a long time. There’s no trace of him at all. I’m almost going crazy.
Robert didn’t tell me why Carlos left and only mentioned that Robert would return soon from his business trip.
But half a month passed.
Why hasn’t he texted me?”
“Let’s not talk about this. Anyway, I’m not very familiar with him.”
Summer restrained from laughing when hearing these words that went against Edith’s heart.
Summer thought, “People in love always say thing one thing and behave another.
They talked about work and sent over lunch boxes after lunch. Unexpectedly, Summer was kicked in the front and fell to the ground awkwardly.
Chapter 152
Edith immediately went up to help her. “Summer, are you alright?”
Summer shook her head and told Edith that she was okay. It was just that Summer’s clothes were smudged.
Edith glared at the colleagues, who had made trouble for Summer.
“Don’t bully her!”
“Bully? So what if we bully you? Your sugar daddy has abandoned you. Who supports you? We took exams to work here. Sarah just introduced you; you don’t need to undergo so many assessments. Instead of working as a junior assistant, you became a designer. Why?”
“You got your job by pulling strings, but now you ruined our work that took over half a month to complete. If someone plagiarizes my work, I’ll hold you responsible!”
One of them raised her hand angrily and pointed at Edith.
Edith thought, “It is offensive.
My teacher once taught me not to scold others while pointing at them. Such rude behavior will just aggravate the conflict.”
Edith mustered the courage to grab the colleague’s fingers and tighten them.
The girl screamed.
“It hurts… It hurts… Let go of me,”
.you bitch…”
The girl raised her hand angrily to slap Edith, but unexpectedly, Edith grabbed her wrist, and she was flung aside.
The girl also fell to the ground in a mess.
Edith retaliated against the girl’s offense.
The others rushed over. Edith knew the slim chance of winning.
“Try hitting me If you dare!”
Edith straightened her back and looked aggressively, saying in a resounding voice.
They paused and stopped.
“Of course, a big shot has supported me and is Mr. Britton’s friend. Do you dare to offend such a person?”
“Just nonsense. That rich man has long abandoned you! Otherwise, why haven’t you dated that man these days?”
“You’re really stupid! Though you have believed I am the culprit, the boss didn’t punish me, which means the big shot has been protecting me. I just didn’t go out for lunch these days. How do you know that I didn’t live with him at night? He’s very busy now and will have lunch with me in a few days. Are you afraid that I will ask him to punish you guys?”
“Try hitting me now. How about my revenge on you and asking him to kick you out of Simpledux?”
These words made everyone panic.
They realized that someone must be supporting her so Emma, the typically strict boss, didn’t investigate her.
Others finally knew that someone had been preventing her from any punishment.
At that moment, no one dared to step forward or mock her.
At the thought of what they had said, they were ashen–faced, afraid that Edith would take revenge on them.
Noticing their scared expressions, Edith slowly let go of her hand.
The moment Edith pulled out the nails which dug into her palm, it hurt a little.
Edith thought, “Fortunately, these guys are frightened by my words. Otherwise, Summer and I would have suffered.
I don’t mind being mocked by them, but Summer is innocent.”
Mindless of those people’s pale faces, Edith directly helped Summer up and turned to leave.
Summer looked at her in shock. “Oh my god, you were so awesome just now!”
