The company at Erewhon didn't have a lot of employees. However, it was the headquarters' forum. So, quite a number of people had seen it.
The post gained traction, and a lot of people left comments. The foreigners were quite open-minded, and everyone treated it like another piece of gossip news.
It was a good thing that my face wasn't shown in the photos. With that said, people who knew me could recognize me.
Moreover, Willis was wearing what he had always worn—a checkered shirt.
"Come on. Really? I was wondering how Rinatta got to represent the higher-ups to sign the contract. It turns out she has connections with the HR department."
"This explains why she looks so smug in the office every single day. I'm telling you, you'd think she was the wife of the CEO if you didn't know better."
"Is this how messy it is at the company's Erewhon branch? Here I was, thinking about applying for a transfer. Looks like I can save myself from the hassle now."
Among all the vicious comments, there was one in particular that laid down the specifics of everything that happened after my arrival. Going by the tone of the comment alone, I could deduce that it was Anne.
It was made especially clear to me when I thought about how she kept wandering in front of me early in the morning. I knew she was up to no good.
After I compiled the design I came up with from my overtime work last night, I passed it to Mr. Finnley. However, he didn't even look at it before he tossed it aside.
"Have you seen the company forum, Rinatta? There are no rules in the company that explicitly forbid us from being in a relationship with our colleagues, but what you're doing is just too indecent."
Mr. Finnley was the person who secretly and inappropriately fondled a female colleague's butt. How dare he talk to me about indecency?
His gaze was laced with hostility when he looked at me. It looked like he wasn't going to let me off easily. In fact, it seemed like he and Anne had been gunning for me since the day I arrived at the company.
