I told Shannon everything that happened yesterday and in Joen.
Shannon was furious when she heard it. "What the hell? Harriet is just disgusting. Forget Joen, she dared provoke you yesterday and is now making a countercharge against you. What kind of person is she?!"
"Are you angrier than me, the actual person involved?" I raised my eyes and smiled slightly.
She looked at me. Putting her hands on the table, she leaned in closer to me. "You’re still smiling? If I were you, I would have clarified the situation by now."
I shook my head and asked, "How will you do that? Tell them you didn't bully her? Will they listen?"
I understood very well that I could not bring down an elephant's leg by myself.
Harriet bore the label of the number one supermodel, and her fans were now criticizing me. If I were to make my stand this time, I would probably get cussed out even more.
"Are you going to just keep silent like this then? Green Orange is in the title. This will likely affect our sales."
"It doesn't matter."
My indifference and carelessness made Shannon's face crumple. "Wanda, are you giving up? We managed to increase our sales, yet you..."
She was too agitated to say anything.
I poured a glass of water and handed it to Shannon. "Don't worry. It doesn't matter if we fall down to the bottom of the well. We’ll bounce back."
"What the hell are you saying? It’s Harriet! She’s our former spokesperson. Do you know how many of our customers bought our products because of her? You didn’t bully her, but now that the news is out, everyone will only believe what they see. This isn’t good for you and is an extremely bad influence on the company. Yet, you still want to duck out?!"
Shannon was right to be worried.
It would have been fine if Harriet had not been our spokesperson, but she was and attracted our first batch of customers, thus laying the foundation for our brand.
If this group of people were to jointly suppress us, it would be a big loss.
However…
