"Do you mean that I copied your work and then came up with a proposal even better than yours?"
Before Janet could refute it, Lena continued, "Unfortunately, I made a mistake in one of the data while working on this proposal, which led to several consecutive errors later on."
Lena went into great detail, outlining every mistake and explaining the reasons behind them.
Listening to these details, everyone understood the truth.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Janet.
Feeling a sense of panic, Janet pointed towards Debra. "It's her fault! She brought the proposal today and said she was willing to let me present it. I had no idea it was Lena's proposal!"
Debra was stunned because she never expected Janet to throw her under the bus at this moment. She looked at Janet in shock.
"It was you!" Debra, with a hint of a sob, pointed at Janet. However, before she could say more, the president interrupted.
"Enough! Sort out your issues later. We'll proceed with Lena's proposal for this project. Meeting adjourned!" The president angrily pointed at Janet and Debra, then shot a fierce glance at the human resources director before leaving the room hastily.
The human resources director, also caught off guard by the turn of events, angrily scolded Janet and Debra, wishing they could both disappear.
Lena, having no intention of despising them, confirmed the selection of her proposal and returned to her office.
Subsequently, someone kindly informed Lena of the aftermath Debra being fired and Janet being demoted three levels and required to post public apologies online.
