Kingston looked at Eevonne with a confused expression. "This matter has been clarified, but could it be that they still blamed you?"
Eevonne nodded. "Not only did they blame me, but none of the people present apologized to me. On the contrary, they kept accusing me."
"Assholes!" Kingston shouted.
After crying for a while, Eevonne had already calmed down. She then recounted softly and calmly, "The thing that was missing from the company was a small art piece
of a famous tower. It had been gifted to the company by a client from abroad.
Originally, the art piece had always been placed on my boss' wife's desk. However, that morning, the tower was suddenly missing. The following day after I went against the entire company because of this matter, it so happened that another client wanted to take a look at our new products. My boss and the lady who was in charge of the company logistics then took the key and went to open the door of the showroom. In that instant when the door opened, both of them saw that the art piece was actually on a table in the showroom upstairs. It was truly ironic at that time. My boss immediately brought the art piece down and then said, 'The tower has been found. It's in the showroom upstairs.' When I saw that he found the tower and had brought it down from upstairs, I immediately burst out crying. To be honest, even I felt that I sounded harsh to the ears at that time. I was wailing like a ghost and was particularly not sensible. I shouted at the top of my lungs in the office asking everyone in there to apologize to me."
She sobbed. "My boss said to me at that time, 'Have you gone crazy! It's still business hours now. Can you be more aware that you're in a public space? If you're truly unwilling to work here, you can resign immediately. The company would approve your resignation immediately!' My boss' remark made me calm now immediately like a rubber ball that was deflated. I went back to my desk dejectedly and I didn't even dare to lift my head. At that moment, I felt extremely, extremely, extremely, aggrieved. However, I did not dare to lash out because I needed the job and the money very much at that time. When my colleagues saw that I dejectedly sat down, they criticized me.
Kingston, you probably have never expected that something like this had actually happened. You might ask me how I was able to stay in that kind of environment. In fact, since the matter happened a long time ago, I, myself, also don't understand how I could be so weak back then. Why could I just listen to those words?"
At that moment, when Kingston was listening to her recounting these matters, he indeed did not understand. "That's right, Eevonne. Since you were already so passive, why didn't you just quit your job? I know that you needed the money for your mother's treatment, but it was not that hard to find another job. Randomly finding another job would also be better than suffering the grievances in that kind of situation, right? You actually did not resign and you continued working here?"
