Ana remembered this was also from the conversation in the stairwell that day!
Josephine's face flushed.
-In terms of qualifications, in terms of strength, naturally I'm the most suitable! If KiKi hadn't parachuted in, I would have been the head of department 2.
I would not have been team leader in department 2 for two years!
A chorus of laughter rang out from the floor.
-Yoo-hoo, I've seen a lot today!
-Yeah, the height of self-recommendation!
-Does he think we don't exist?
-Who gave you the confidence?
...
-Josephine, when you took my sketch you gave it to Mr. Berganza in the first part, didn't you?
Micaela, without questioning, but affirming, continued knowingly.
-What is your relation to Mr. Berganza, that he would allow you to do this for him?
-We are not related! -Alonso suddenly exclaimed.
Josefina stopped violently, looked at Alonso Berganza, thought about what he had said and resisted the impulse to speak.
-Josefina and Mr. Berganza? It can't be!
-Yes, they don't usually cross paths either.
-Well, they rarely communicate, Micaela, you may have misunderstood.
-Mr. Berganza and Josefina, they seem like two people who can't be related in any way.
...
Alonso Berganza is not a top-notch hottie, but his friendly demeanor is still very popular among women. And he's still a minor name in the design world.
Josefina, meanwhile, is a long-time Nubcancion employee and has some noteworthy designs, but she's not very pretty and doesn't stand out in anything.
And Alonso Berganza, who has always been very demanding, would not like Josefina!
That's what his colleagues thought.
Satisfied with what everyone had said, Alonso Berganza turned to Micaela and said.
-Micaela, you stole my designs and are trying to frame me? Josefina and I are mere colleagues, why would I steal your designs from me for no reason?
"You will continue to suffocate until you present evidence."
Micaela looked at Josefina and for a moment felt a little aggrieved by her.
She stepped in front of Alonso, pulled out her phone and played the recording.
-Don't be afraid, there's no way they can restore the surveillance video!
-KiKi said she would keep chasing him, what to do, it's your fault!
-Blame me? Who said in the first place that she would become the head of department 2 if she drove KiKi away?
-Me... but it occurred to me that Micaela could still make designs even without sketches.
-Okay, didn't you say that sketch didn't have a signature? We can still go on with the original plan.
-I'm still scared...
-Honey, don't be afraid, it's ok, we'll get married when you're the manager of department 2...
...
The whole room erupted.
-Fuck, what did I hear?
-This content is so powerful!
-So they had planned this!
...
-Ana and I were upstairs while you were talking in the stairwell! -You think it's foolproof because there's no surveillance? You don't want people to know if you don't do it -Micaela looked at Alonso and Josefina and spoke calmly.
KiKi also continued.
-The only reason I didn't pursue this at the time was because after listening to this recording I was sure you would end up doing something.
Josefina was already trembling with fear.....
