For the rest of the day, Annabelle's matter was being hyped in the company. And the story changed from being a divorcee to a seductress trying to plot for a better position by taking advantage of Alistair. The rumors were snowballing.
But Annabelle didn't mind at all. When she came down with Covi, they saw that manager Lee was speaking about her with someone else.
"Hmph, I hadn't thought that she was such a pretentious woman!"
They didn't hear anything but that sentence.
And actually, they didn't need to and they knew what was manager Lee saying.
Covi and Annabelle stood shoulder by shoulder. The moment she heard that, she couldn't contain her rage anymore, "what did you say?!"
Once manager Lee and other colleagues heard Covi, they turned their heads over. The moment manager Lee saw Annabelle together with Covi, his expression changed a little.
Annabelle simply stood there and watched them expressionlessly.
"Manager Lee, just because you couldn't court her you felt humiliated and started to spread rumors? Don't you think you are very repulsive?" Covi couldn't help but jeered at the man.
Once manager Lee heard that, he frowned, "what are you talking about?"
"Isn't that so? You confessed to Annabelle and she rejected you. Therefore, you started to spread rumors about her, don't you think you are stooping too low?" Covi asked back.
"What nonsense are you spewing?!" Manager Lee roared furiously at Covi.
At that time, Annabelle couldn't suppress her anger anymore and she stared at him, "manager Lee, did Covi say anything wrong?"
The moment Annabelle spoke, everyone averted their attentiveness towards them.
"Manager Lee, did you personally saw that I seduced president Mu? Or did you witness that I had been sleeping around with anyone else? If you do, please provide the evidence!" Annabelle stared at him and enunciated.
"if it was all because I rejected you yesterday and you couldn't handle it, and started fabricating rumors as revenge, then I have nothing to say. Yes, you are not wrong that I was divorced. But so, what? Is it so unacceptable to be divorced? Or are you telling me that those that were divorced must be disdained? Then how about manager Lee yourself?"
