Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1342

"There's none!" The one who disclosed the information smiled. "Said she's a distant niece of a friend of a friend of Ms. Thompson's. Well, you can barely call that a connection, basically!"

Lena stood at the doorway, and her lips pursed lightly.

She knew Lina had said that to protect her, to keep her low-key so she would not become a target the moment she stepped into the workplace. Staying discreet would also give her more time to focus on studying and learning so she could make a remarkable debut in the future.

It was just that people often tended to put those in power on a pedestal or belittle ones deemed to have no value, especially the hypocritical individuals in the sales department.

If one had a background, they would be respectful and polite but also backstab them—just like Jacquelin.

Rumor had it that she was the trusted aide of a high-ranking executive on the board. Although she seemed arrogant and people were nice to her superficially, she was the go-to source for a few sales elites, who intercepted a considerable share of her resources.

If one had no background, everyone could step on them—just like Lena.

When that person said she could barely be connected to Lina, a burst of quiet laughter erupted in the break room.

Then, people started to make malicious remarks.

"When she first came in, I only noticed that she looked good and thought she was a big shot. Turns out she's like a mute and sat there motionless all morning!"

"And she's dressed so plainly, in all black! Anyone who doesn't know might think her family died!"

"Hey, don't be so mean..."

"It's not like she can hear us saying this here... Hey, don't you think she seems quite mature for her age? Maybe we should call her 'Granny Harding' from now on! Hahaha!"

Lena's gaze was cold.

In truth, she did not care what others said. She had heard much worse before. She just found this group of people annoying.
