That night, Derek didn't go back to the Xaviers at all. "Perhaps, he doesn't want to see me," Meredith thought to herself.
By coincidence, she didn't want to see him, lest she remembered something she shouldn't have.
After a while, someone called her.
Meredith picked it up and realized it was Ava.
"How's it going? Are you enjoying your life in the new company, sister?"
In the middle of filming, when Ava was having free time, she suddenly remembered that she had sent someone to Meredith's company to "accidentally" spread the truth that Meredith had been in prison.
She thought that her useless sister who knew nothing should have been scared to death by the hurtful rumors.
"How do you know where I work... It's you?" Meredith instantly understood what had happened and gripped the phone tightly. Because of the force, there were even veins on the back of her hand.
How much did her sister hate her? She even spread that in her new company, making her restless.
"It's me, but so what? Just enjoy it. Let me guess how long you can insist on working in that company? I'm afraid it won't last more than a month. Trash!"
"Stop caring about me. Don't worry. I won't let you succeed." Meredith gritted her teeth and hung up the phone.
If she heard Ava's voice again, she would be so angry that she would smash her phone.
Trying to calm her breathing, Meredith finally calmed down, but suddenly remembered something.
It turned out that Derek didn't do those things at the company, so she misunderstood him...
Thinking about it, Meredith was a little embarrassed. She took out her cell phone and called Derek. She wanted to say sorry, but the phone rang and then was hung up.
It seemed that he hated her even more, but no wonder...
Meredith shook her head helplessly, but she didn't call again. If she always called Derek, she was afraid that he would be impatient.
...
In the next day.
As soon as Meredith arrived at the company, she found her desk in a mess. Everything was turned upside down, as if her desk had just suffered from a theft.
Although she knew that she had offended Rachel and it was hard for her to continue working in the company, the behavior of her colleagues still made her a little angry. "What have you all done?"
This was the first time Meredith had spoken loudly to these colleagues.
"Since you're leaving, we need to check if you've taken anything that you shouldn't have. If we lose something and you have already left, where can we find them?"
Meredith felt aggrieved when everyone saw her as a thief.
To be fair, although she could only do some trivia in this company, she was very conscientious in everything and never dared to neglect her work. She smiled and agreed to whatever her colleagues asked her to do.
But in the end, they only treated her like a thief.
Was it true that once others knew she was sent to prison before, she could only live under their prejudice forever?
"Are you done checking?" Meredith tried to hold back her grievances and helplessness, pretending that nothing had happened.
The colleagues didn't find anything and were somewhat ungratified. They looked at the things on her desk and found her USB flash disk. "This one needs to be checked too."
Of course, Meredith had nothing to be afraid of. She always behaved with integrity, so how could she leave something behind?
However, after a while, a few colleagues suddenly began to discuss seriously, "Meredith, why are you so insidious that you have copied the files of our company's customers? Are you going to poach our customers after leaving?"
Meredith's eyes widened in disbelief. It was impossible.
Not to mention that she didn't have such an idea, even if she did, normally, she would not have access to such important documents, how could them be copied?
Someone must be setting her up!
"I never copy them. You guys don't usually show me these files," Meredith argued.
"But you can secretly copy them while you are helping someone, right?"
"Exactly. I think it's possible. No wonder she's so diligent. She has planed for this from the beginning."
"She is such a bitch."
A few colleagues did not listen to Meredith's explanation at all. They chattered and quickly settled her charge. They were also going to drag Meredith to see the general manager and asked him to deal with her properly to let others know that what she had done was illegal.
