Thepany at Erewhon didn''t have a lot of employees. However, it was the headquarters'' forum. So, quite a number of people had seen it.


    The post gained traction, and a lot of people leftments. The foreigners were quite open-minded, and everyone treated it like another piece of gossip news. It was a good thing that my face wasn''t shown in the photos. With that said, people who knew me could recognize me.


    Moreover, Willis was wearing what he had always worn-a checkered shirt.


    "Come on. Really? I was wondering how Rinatta got to represent the higher-ups to sign the contract. It turns out she has connections with the HR department." "This exins why she looks so smug in the office every single day. I''m telling you, you''d think she was the wife of the CEO if you didn''t know better."


    "Is this how messy it is at thepany''s Erewhon branch? Here I was, thinking about applying for a transfer. Looks like I can save myself from the hassle now."


    Among all the viciousments, there was one in particr thatid down the specifics of everything that happened after my arrival. Going by the tone of thement alone, I could deduce that it was Anne.


    It was made especially clear to me when I thought about how she kept wandering in front of me early in the morning. I knew she was up to no good.


    After Ipiled the design I came up with from my overtime workst night, I passed it to Mr. Finnley. However, he didn''t even look at it before he tossed it aside.


    "Have you seen thepany forum, Rinatta? There are no rules in thepany that explicitly forbid us from being in a rtionship with our colleagues, but what you''re doing is just too indecent."Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Mr. Finnley was the person who secretly and inappropriately fondled a female colleague''s butt. How dare he talk to me about indecency?


    His gaze wasced with hostility when he looked at me. It looked like he wasn''t going to let me off easily. In fact, it seemed like he and Anne had been gunning for me since the day I arrived at thepany. "Willis and I aren''t a couple. The angle at which the photos were taken makes it look like something more is going on between us."


    I didn''t think it should be a big issue even if what was portrayed in the photos was true. After all, the people in Erewhon were very open-minded. Jack wasn''t a boss who would pick on his employees either.


    However, Mr. Finnley suddenly flew


    into a rage. "What are you talking


    about? If you two aren''t a couple,


    then why did he look for you in theet


    office at 11:00 pm? I''m aware you know someone in thepany, Rinatta. That''s how younded a job you can


    here, but that doesn''t meaQ


    mess around in the office."


    Mr. Finnley turned theputer screen to me. Sure enough, I did see thements that belittled me. They used me of being a whore and a bitch. Some even said that I would prostitute myself when I didn''t have anything better to do.


    Most of them thought that there had to be something wrong with me. After all, they hadn''t heard of me in the past, but I was suddenly representing the higher-ups to sign the contract.


    I nced at the ounts and sneered internally. The public opinion warfare here wasn''t anything to write home about. They were all newly registered ounts. It only took one nce to see that I was being maliciously targeted. These foreignpanies probably didn''t have a dedicated team to manage things like this. That was why nobody registered and maintained several ounts for years.


    The whole ruse was so poorly crafted that it failed miserably at intimidating me.


    I shrugged helplessly. "Yeah. So? Shouldn''t you be criticizing these people for spreading false rumors? You''re the supervisor. Naturally, it''s your job to think from your team''s perspective. I''m a victim, and I''m your subordinate. Don''t you think you should stand up for me?"


    I had a pretty good guess about the people behind these photos. All it took was a simple investigation, and we''d be able to track down the people behind thesements and ounts.


    Anne had been typing away at her keyboard for the entire morning. It was like she wanted to get caught.


    Mr. Finnley put on a dry smile and looked at me. "This is very serious, Rinatta. Public opinion has affected our department. Instead of figuring out ways to resolve it yourself, you''re expecting thepany to clean up your mess.


    "If public opinion gets worse and you fail to give us apelling exnation, your ass is going to be fired. You''ve been warned!"
