Tracey arrived at a restaurant with Ben. Ben's face was a little tired. "Tracey, you know that, don't you?"
"Is there anyone in the company who doesn't know it?" Tracey took a sip of orange juice and asked calmly.
Tracey seemed to not angry at all. "Tracey, it has been spread in the whole company, how can you be so calm The rumor maker was too abominable!"
Tracey smiled. "What should I do if I am not calm? Go to kick those who are spreading the rumor? Well, there are so many people in the company, I will be exhausted if doing that."
Now the priority is not to be angry, but to find out the truth as soon as possible and put it to rest.”
"You're right. Recently, my emotion is unstable and I've almost lost my mind." Ben said.
"I can understand, after all, so many things had happened recently. Dad, in fact, I already know who did this." Tracey said slowly.
"Do you know who it is?"
"Yes, I just heard she admitted she did it. You know this person. It was Ruth, who made a fuss in the canteen and was almost fired two days ago."
"It's her? Is it because she holds a grudge? This woman is so hateful!"
Tracey had already learned from Carmen what a vicious woman looked like. Ruth's was far less to it, so Tracey didn't feel strange about her tricks.
"Yes, she almost got fired because of me that day, so she had been holding a grudge. This matter is related to both of us, however, those people outside don't know about our relationship, so they spread the rumor.
This matter will not only affect me but also you, and it will even impact you more. If it is true, you will be impeached by the board of directors.
They may ask you to resign for you bringing in bad influence. Who would be the president if you quit?
Edgar is Ruth's lover. If you leave, the new president will be choosing between Reg and Edgar. Edgar has a great chance of winning because Reg is an outsider."
"Ridiculous! How vicious is she! Does this matter have anything to do with Edgar?" When it came to this man, Ben was full of anger. He had not made Edgar pay for Carmen's affair yet, here came a photo scandal!
Naturally, Ben would make Edgar pay. But he also worried that if this embarrassing thing was exposed, others may saw him as a joke.
What a man hated most was being cuckolded, so he planned to swallow this anger.
"No, it has nothing to do with Edgar. Edgar came to our home last time and he knew my identity. Even if he made a rumor, he won't rumor us like this. I think it was Ruth who planned all this.
On the one hand, it's for her revenge. On the other hand, it's good for Edgar. Of course, it was mainly good for herself. She is smart, but what a pity, she used her smartness in the wrong way." Tracey said.
"I'll fire this woman right away!" Ben was furious.
"Wait, Dad, what reason do you have to fire her now? On the contrary, it will arouse another wave of gossiping. Tell me, do you want to take revenge?"
"Of course I do! But this matter is not good for anyone's reputation." Ben said. He was also very helpless. Why did he get involved in these things?
"Dad, I know what you're worried about. Leave it to me. Just pretend that you don't know anything." Tracey chuckled.
