Everly was stunned and confused at their words.
But she could sense their hostility.
She could figure out the reason.
Everly had no interest in participating in the intrigue and forming cliques among colleagues. She also did not want to waste her time and energy to explain or refute.
She looked completely indifferent.
Everly looked away. Just then, the elevator door opened with a ding. Everly was going to get on the elevator. The woman thought that Everly was arrogant when she saw Everly's indifferent expression.
She didn't like Everly, and now she thought that Everly was arrogant. She wouldn't let Everly go.
Everly stepped forward and tripped over the woman. She was caught off guard and staggered forward. Her forehead almost hit the elevator door.
Fortunately, she quickly put her hands on the door to avoid the embarrassing situations happening.
However, Everly was not a pushover. Usually, she couldn't be bothered to waste time arguing. The woman had already bullied her, so she couldn't pretend that she didn't hear anything.
Everly was going to give the woman a taste of her own medicine.
She steadied herself, and without waiting for the woman to become complacent, she also pushed the woman.
The woman did not expect that Everly would fight back.
She was unprepared and her head slammed into the elevator door.
Two colleagues were standing by the side, and they were stunned.
Everly crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "I don't care what you say behind my back. Anyway, I can't stop you from speaking. But don't be shameless in front of me. Don't think that people are all as bad as you."
"What a joke. A shameless woman who relies on sexual relationships to get the promotion dares to be arrogant in front of us!" With Everly's hard tone, these women couldn't let her go easily.
This time, the war of words was completely triggered.
However, Everly didn't want to be like a shrew cursing on the streets. She didn't want to argue with these women, but she definitely couldn't hear them gossiping about her.
How could they say that she was relying on sexual relationships to get the promotion?
Although she was intimate with Maverick, she was not relying on their relationship to get the promotion.
She had a son and Maverick also had a daughter.
They were not married.
In other words, today she accepted Maverick. No matter they were together for a sexual relationship or love, they were not unfaithful. What were they shameful about?
Everly was not the one to be trifled with. She couldn't stand others talking about her like this.
She was annoyed and her face clouded over.
"Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, I can sue you for defamation. Now you could defame as long as you have a mouth, right? The cost is low. You talk nonsense when you are bored and not working. Now you dare to say this in front of me. Believe it or not, I can make you unable to work here," Everly stared at the woman and said.
Her tone was not very harsh.
However, she said clearly and firmly.
These people had already been clear about Everly's background.
Of course, they also knew that Everly had a brother called Hendrix.
But who was Hendrix?
