Anthony just wanted Zack to come forward and give her an out.
So, Zack followed along and said, "Mavis is in her first day of work today. It's excusable if she doesn't know the rules. It's better to wait until the internship period is over before deciding whether to let her stay or go."
Anthony's expression softened a lot, "Since you are all begging for her, then take it as a warning. Next time if she's caught on the spot, pack up and get out."
"Okay." Zack bowed his head slightly. Seeing no response from Mavis, he winked and reminded, "Thank him soon."
Mavis bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Mr. Callahan."
Anthony looked solemn. He stared at her for a while, then turned and walked away.
When Zack and him both got into the elevator, the entire floor of employees dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
Nyla cried because of it, sobbing and wiping her tears with a tissue.
An employee who was close to her immediately came over to comfort her.
She cried and complained to Mavis, "It's all because of you! You insisted on asking me so many questions, so that I was scolded by Mr. Callahan and almost fired! The salary deduction is for sure. Mr. Callahan's impression on me will be negative…”
Mavis really felt that it had implicated her and felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry. If this will cause you to be deducted your salary, when I get the internship salary next month, I will give you that part of the money."
Nyla was barely comfortable.
Seeing that Mavis was so good, she became unreasonable, "I was reprimanded by Mr. Callahan. How do you pay for the mental damage? Zack just defended you. Don't think you're very proud!"
Mavis turned around and sat upright, no longer argued anything, and continued typing on the keyboard.
Nyla got even more angry when she saw that she didn't speak.
"Why is your attitude like that?! I just kindly answered your doubts, but you made me get scolded. You just made a fake apology?"
Mavis sighed.
She obviously apologized sincerely. If Nyla insisted that she was hypocritical, then she had nothing to explain.
Her attitude angered the people who were helping Nyla.
In front of her, those people deliberately talked loudly.
"Some people just seemed to be particularly happy to show off."
"That's right. Mr. Callahan didn't even ask. She just said a lot, and she was about to get close to him."
"She's just an intern on the first day of work. Zack actually defended her. She won't have an affair with Zack, will she ?"
"I think it's possible... Zack is the most capable special assistant of Mr. Callahan. He has been with Mr. Callahan since he took office. If Mavis has an affair with him, she is a gold digger!"
A group of people was jealous.
But thinking of Anthony's attitude towards Mavis just now, and directly reprimanding her in front of so many people, it was estimated that Mavis had already been included in the blacklist of lazy employees.
A group of people was happy again.
The jeering sound was particularly harsh. Mavis stopped typing.
She turned around and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "I am really sorry for causing Nyla to be scolded today, but I don't have any improper relationship with Mr. Evans. Please stop spreading rumors."
Nyla was very disdainful, "Why are you pretending? Do you think Zack is a nice guy? And everyone will help you? You are a new intern. If you don't know him well, how can he defend you in front of Mr. Callahan?"
Others echoed, "Well, I remember it was Zack who helped her enter this company."
"And all this shit? Shouldn't she be... a mistress of Zack?"
The voice of discussion, not only did not stop, but also became more and more outrageous.
There was no need to argue with a group of gossiping people. Mavis was too lazy to deal with it, and continued to deal with the unfinished work.
Laughter surrounded her, and they were all jealousy of her, wishing to stab her to death.
"Mavis!"
Zack, who had just left with Anthony, was back with a clear goal this time.
The discussion stopped instantly.
Mavis looked up, "What's the matter?"
