"Enaryln, you finally admit it! How could you do such a shameless thing!"
"Yesseca." Enaryln raised her tear- stained face. "Please don't take it to heart. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."
"How could that do!" Yesseca decisively rejected Enaryln, "I never said anything when you were talking behind my back. But look how far you've taken it! I have to turn you in to the police. You have to pay for your mistakes."
After saying that, Yesseca increased the strength of her grip, forcing Enaryln to take a step forward.
A burst of fear engulfed Enaryln.
She would at most be detained for half a month for what she did. However, it would be a different story if the man behind Yesseca involved himself in this. She might be sentenced to prison. Would her life be ruined if a beautiful young lady like her be jailed?
No, she must not go to the police station.
"Yesseca!" Enaryln cried, "You can't take me to the police station. If you take me to the police station, what about my grandma? My parents are no longer around. I only have her. She brought me up, and I have to care for her now. If you take me to the police station, she will be devastated."
Yesseca was taken aback.
She could not help but loosen the grip on Enaryln's wrist a little.
Enaryln used her other hand to wipe away her tears as she added, "Yesseca, I did not come from a good family. My grandma has been working so hard to bring me up, so that was why I wanted to marry a rich man. That way, I could repay her. But it isn't easy for me to find someone worth marrying. I am pretty, but I don't have higher education, nor do I have a good background. You finding someone wealthy to support you has made me jealous. And in the spur of the moment, I did something I shouldn't have done. Please let me off this time. I won't do it again."
Yesseca did not speak, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes.
Enaryln made herself sound more pitiful, "Yesseca, my grandma is waiting for me to come home to make her dinner. If I was detained, who would fix her meals?"
Yesseca's heart softened.
She looked at Enaryln and said, "Well, I won't take you to the police station, but you must apologize to me in front of all the employees on our floor before I spare you."
Enaryln didn't want to apologize.
This was too embarrassing for her.
But she also knew that this was the best option, so she had to agree.
After a while, Yesseca went to find her supervisor and roughly mentioned this matter.
Because it was not a weekend, there were not many customers. The supervisor gathered them on short notice.
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Enaryln apologized to Yesseca and promised that she would never do such a thing again.
Because they were still at work, they couldn't stay for too long. After six minutes, everyone left.
But six minutes was indeed important.
Enaryln had been highly sought after among the staff due to her beauty, but her standing had plummeted drastically.
After the crowd dispersed, no one paid any attention to Enaryln. They all surrounded Yesseca.
Yesseca became the center of the crowd.
"Yesseca, Enaryln went too far. She's so mean."
"No wonder she was beaming just now. It turned out she was the one who posted it."
"She's just jealous that you have a rich boyfriend."
"To be honest, everyone is jealous of Yesseca and her boyfriend. But we're all also happy for you.
Only Enaryln would do such a despicable thing."
"I shouldn't stay this close to Enaryln. Now that I have seen her true colors, I don't feel like talking to her anymore."
They went on and on.
Enaryln returned to her station.
No one came to comfort her. She was surrounded by coldness.
She looked over.
