Since knowing that Sophia had knelt before Dorothy, Eugenia had been watching for a chance to taunt her.
Jamie didn't like Sophia and often spoke ill of Sophia in front of Eugenia. Therefore, Eugenia also disliked Sophia.
She wanted to find a chance to make Sophia feel little. Seeing her in the cafeteria unexpectedly, Eugenia said proudly, "Why are you pretending to be aloof Miss Lo?"
"For you!" Sophia responded to her casually.
"Oh! Why do you pretend to be a big shot in front of us? All of you may not know that! In order to take her ex-boyfriend back, Sophia knelt before the Lien's Deputy General Manager!" Eugenia's last words were followed by sounds of astonishment.
"Really? God! Kneeling! How currish can you be Sophia?"
"Yeah, just for a man? Was it worth it? Is Sophia so empty and alone?"
"Ha ha ha, maybe you're right!"
……
Eugenia's statements encouraged her female colleagues to taunt Sophia.
Although Sophia was the President's secretary, she was too ordinary.
Everyone thought that she was silent and could be bullied easily. Over time, their insults only got harsher.
Sophia was puzzled. She didn't seem to know these people. Why would they want to embarrass her?
Did she have a look that invited other people to bully her? Dorothy bullied her, Payne bullied her, Jamie bullied her and now... even irrelevant colleagues were bullying her!
"Do all of you want me to put in a good word for you with our president?" Sophia had to mention Colin.
Everyone knew that she was the President's secretary. She was the closest to the President. It was not difficult for her to complain.
As expected, a few female employees immediately lowered their heads and started eating. But Eugenia continued to taunt Sophia fearlessly. "Didn't you say that Mr. Li is married? Mr. Li hasn't confirmed it. How can you spread such a rumor? You must have been telling a lie to deceive the colleagues who adore Mr. Li so that you can have him all to yourself!"
"Sophia, you went too far! I can't believe how people like you can qualify to be the President's secretary!"
"Yeah, I heard that she didn't graduate from college! Who knows if it was because she pulled strings by having an affair with someone?"
"Well, think about it. Is there anyone here who doesn't have a college degree or higher qualification?"
......
Hearing that, Sophia did not get mad. Instead, she smiled. She approached these female colleagues, and said coolly, "Do you know why Jamie's face is swollen?"
Everyone looked at her curiously. "How did it become swollen?" Come on, tell us, Miss Lo."
"Yeah, tell everyone!"
Sophia smiled, "It was I who hit her on the face. If you continue to treat me like this, I promise that I will do the same to each of you and that your faces will be more swollen than hers."
Sophia's colleagues stopped eating and looked at each other in surprise.
Although skeptical about what Sophia had just said, Eugenia believed her. There was no need for Sophia to admit to something awful.
Immediately she lowered her head and began eating her food. She was going to ask Jamie whether her claim was real or not after work.
Seeing that Eugenia didn't dare to contradict Sophia, the remaining female colleagues continued eating as well.
Birds of the same feather flock together! Sophia shook her head and left the cafeteria.
At the end of the day, Sophia looked at Colin's schedule in a daze. Colin was scheduled to visit the company in A country in two days. She also wanted to go with him.
