Seeing Levi's smug attitude, I could only chuckle before stepping on the gas. "Alright. Let's go."
Along the way, Levi and Eric bickered as usual. I listened silently, not bothering to get involved. After a while, they both suddenly stopped talking and stared at me.
I blinked in confusion. "Is there something on my face?"
Eric said first, "You seem a bit down today."
Levi, surprisingly, agreed with a nod.
I was surprised that such a small shift in my mood was noticed so quickly. After some thought, I decided to tell them what happened at work today. While Harvey's behavior wasn't exactly a threat to me, I had to admit that it did put me in a low mood.
It was not because I was being ostracized but because I hated seeing Brown Group filled with employees like him.
After listening, Levi was furious. "That bastard actually dares to mess with you? Jane, you should teach him a lesson!"
"How reckless," Eric said with a scoff, rolling his eyes at Levi. "There's no point in confronting him now."
I nodded. "A long game catches the bigger fish. I want to see just how far Harvey thinks he can go."
…
Much to my surprise, Harvey gave me an opportunity sooner than I thought.
After about a week in the company, other than Heather, who messaged me daily, no one else spoke to me.
As for work? There was almost none.
Harvey didn't assign me a mentor, and the others were too afraid to interact with me. I was being completely sidelined.
