Rylan couldn’t answer. He really didn't have any clues. When he inquired about it to David, he wasn’ ttold anything.
David just shook his head. "Rylan, I told you not to meddle in this matter is for your good."
"For my good? I know you are close to Stella, but you can't favor her because you like her. You used to like Lucy. How can you let her be wronged?"
In Rylan's eyes, David helped Stella just because he liked Stella, and set Lucy up.
The office became alive as gossiping sounded. Although there was no rule to ban office romance, it was subtle to the workers.
David and Stella did not go too far. Now Rylan exposed their relationship was for protecting Lucy.
"Rylan, don't fall out with people because of me. It's my fault." Lucy's pitiful look attracted others' attention. "She must be wronged." They thought.
David took a deep breath and asked, "Lucy, why do you always act so uncouth? I didn't want to expose you for saving your dignity. But you wasted my kindness yourself."
"Don't say that!" Lucy was unwilling to leave. She wanted to mess up the matter for the last try before she left and made Stella being misunderstood.
David glanced at her, still telling the story slowly. People were stunned by the truth and couldn’t believe in their eyes that Lucy was so vicious.
"Lucy, how can you do this, you clearly know that we have been working hard for the promotion for half a month!"
"Correct, how did we offend you?"
"Oh, you are seemingly a well-educated gentle girl, but actually a mean girl."
Everybody’s criticism suddenly surged over, which made Lucy unable to bear. She thought David was weak and he would never tell the truth.
However, David had been far away from what he used to be in college, now he had a woman to protect.
Lucy did not argue anymore. Being fired was the best evidence. Without packing up, she left directly with her bag.
Rylan was also very disappointed to see Lucy's true color. David patted his shoulder and left without saying anything.
With Lucy's bad quality exposed, nobody became sad about her leaving but felt lucky to send a hazard or time bomb away. If she was forgiven this time, maybe she would really ruin something next time.
After the perfume promotion, the company's cohesiveness was unconsciously enhanced, and everything had gradually gone on the right track.
Tracey not only received perfume orders now, but also began to promote other products. She wanted to borrow the perfume fever to boost overall selling.
A new round of busy work had begun. When it was close to off time, Adam gave her a call and said he couldn't come to pick her up.
Adam was much busier than her. No matter how good their relationship was, Tracey wouldn’t like him to sacrifice his work because of her.
Both of these two people were the birds belonging to the sky. They should fly free and shouldn't delay each other.
Tracey called Mark to come. There were twenty minutes left until he arrived. Tracey had gone downstairs.
It was late in the winter, and the cold wind was blowing. There was still much time, and Tracey went opposite the street to buy hot drinks.
The warmth spread from the cup to her hand, which was similar to being held by Adam. Tracey couldn't remember from when Adam had fully penetrated into her life and reminded her of his existence at any time.
As thinking, she smiled gently. But this smile soon disappeared when she found a gaze fell upon her.
