Chapter 14
“Lianne has an innocent look, but it turns out she’s promiscuous”
“God knows how many men she has slept with Maybe she hooked up with someone for the transfer to the headquarters
“The CEO’s executive assistant is the face of the company. She should be fired”
The comments brought her back to the past
It was easy to ruin a pretty girl trying to move up in life.
The public would put a girl through a witch hunt for her supposedly questionable morals
Lianne was brought back to the time she was jumped on by a group in her home
People pulled her hair and beat her up, while others got their fingers up her nose and came down hard on
“Look at that vulgar face of yours. For someone so young, you sure engaged in shameless act
“Get lost and never come back.”
Lianne tried to explain the truth to everybody, but no one would believe her. They would only believe they wanted to
That day, her grandmother had gone to a rural area to visit her student’s home, so the only person she could ask for help from was her uncle
Despite her pleading look, her uncle slapped her on the face instead of coming to her aid “The Simpsons do not have an immodest girl like you in the family. Your father would turn in his grave if he knew what you did
“Is it true, Lianne?”
Liam’s voice pulled Lianne out of her dark memory
The little over a month-long of working together did not give Liam a lot of insight into Lianne, so he remained neutral on the matter
Lianne was grateful that Liam was not quick to judge, unlike the others. He even came to verify with her
She forced a smile is Mr. Atlas here yet?”
Liam replied, “He just arrived”
Rubbing her cold hands together, Lianne grabbed her laptop and came to Zane’s office
Zane stood behind the window, smoking with his back facing the office door. His face was not visible to
Lianne, and all Lianne could see was his slender back
She gently put down the laptop on his desk. There’s a rumor going around the office about my debauchery, Mr Atlas Can i take two minutes of your time to explain myself?”
Without looking back, Zane said, “Your personal life doesn’t interest me, but I’m sorry to say that you have no place in the Atlas Group if your personal matter reflects poorly on the company”
Lianne’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach as Zane poured cold water in her attempt to clear the air. To
her blood was already running cold “Mr. Atlas, please hear me out…
Zane callously interrupted her mid-sentence. “Show me the proof if it’s a rumor as you said. You have two
hours to sort it out. Otherwise, I won’t be able to trust your abilities.”
That was all she needed from Zane “Thank you, Mr. Atlas”
Zane was right. How was she supposed to perform well as the CEO’s executive assistant when her personal life was getting in the way?
Lianne acted fast by going to Zane before his preconceived notion took over from reading the post
Otherwise, she would not only be losing her job. It would leave a stain on her professional record too.
She was powerless to fight back against the malicious slander and insults then due to her young age.
Now, Lianne was no longer someone people could walk all over.
