Chapter 58 Two Troublemakers Are Finally Gone
After her leg had healed during a period of rest, Stella could not wait any longer and hurried back to work without getting a follow-up examination at the hospital.
Annie was pleasantly surprised to see her. "You're back at last! I've been lacking motivation at work without you around during this time!"
Stella smiled. "Seems like your words have become sweeter after not seeing you for a while!"
"Come on. I genuinely feel guilty about what happened to you! If I had insisted on going with you to that dinner, you wouldn't have been set up..."
Stella's expression shifted, and she swiftly pulled Annie into a quieter corridor.
"Has this incident... become widely known?"
Annie glanced around and spoke in a hushed tone. "Not exactly. Nobody in the company knows why you suddenly went on sick leave. The director stated that it was due to you accidentally injuring your leg. At that time, everyone wanted to visit you at the hospital, but he prevented them from doing so."
Stella nodded in silence, understanding that the director was not malevolent. He simply knew how to look out for his interests, often choosing to overlook various matters and hesitating to take the lead.
"So even if some people have doubts, they won't voice them directly." Annie glanced at her. "Don't worry. This issue is in the past. Just stick to the story that you accidentally injured your leg!"
"Okay."
She understood that the director's approach was wise. As a woman, her reputation was valuable, and these matters were not something she wanted to be widely circulated.
"By the way, Stella, there's some great news I have to tell you!"
Stella was surprised by the joy on Annie's face. She could not help but chuckle. "What's making you so happy?"
"It's about Benjamin and Daniel. Those two troublemakers have left the company!"
