The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 405

Dispirited, Janet went back to the company.

At this time, Gerda was busy sketching some designs. "Tiffany wanted to see you. She said you should drop by her office once you're back," she said.

Janet glanced at Tiffany's office for a few seconds, stood up, and walked over reluctantly.

"Back so soon? Seems like you didn't find any evidence." Tiffany was reading a document while speaking. She didn't even raise her head, but she knew that Janet was the one who came into her office.

Janet replied, "I'll need a few more days, but I'll get you the evidence you need."

Tiffany let out a sigh. "I'm inclined to trust you, but you each put your own spin on what really happened last night. Since there isn't any concrete evidence, as your superior, I have to stay objective about this. I can't make my judgment based on personal biases. Just try your best to find an evidence to support your claims."

Janet fell silent for a moment. 'It seems that Tiffany is saying that no action will be taken against this matter unless I find evidence.'

"Okay. I understand." Tears welled up in Janet's eyes when she left Tiffany's office.

*******

After that interaction, Janet worked in the company like normal.

Sadly, the matter hadn't blown over yet. Because they lost the quarterly bonus, all of her coworkers in the design department held a grudge against her and they vented their anger towards her.

Though there wasn't any evidence to prove which one of them was lying, most of their coworkers were on Patty's side.

The main reason was because Patty was the girlfriend of the Larson Group's operations manager. And now, she and Janet were at odds. None of the employees dared to offend someone more influential and powerful than they were.

Patty didn't have a falling out with Janet because of this. She even acted like she was the bigger person by saying, "We're all colleagues here. I think it's better if we all be nice. I understand that there are many rumors circulating about Lind. Though I'm not surprised that she'd do something like that, let's all just let it go and move on."

Gerda sat at her own station, craning her neck to get a better look at Patty. Patty spoke so loud that everyone in the office must've heard her.

Pouting, Gerda lowered her head and said to Janet, "What a hypocrite she is! I once heard her speaking ill of you behind your back. She told our coworkers that you have a screw loose and that you're too proud for your own good."

It was a call from Ella Davian, her old college classmate.

Janet pondered for a moment. She rarely had ever contacted her college classmates ever since they graduated, let alone someone she didn't get along with like Ella.

Ella used to be her roommate in college. They had some conflicts in the past, so their relationship wasn't very good.

Janet wanted to ignore this call. But out of politeness, she picked up the phone.

"Why'd you take so long to answer the phone, Janet?" Ella, as always, was short-tempered. She couldn't bear the idea of others ignoring her.

"Sorry, I was too busy to notice it right away," Janet replied insincerely.

"It's fine. I heard from another classmate that you're now working for the Larson Group. Does that mean you're doing pretty good for yourself?" Ella spoke rather warmly over the phone. "There's going to be a reunion party of our old college class on Saturday night. You should come! Don't forget it."
