Chapter 114
It was the secretary of the company's general manager— the famous and beautiful Louisa Brock. The way she spoke coquettishly could cause goosebumps all over someone.
She was an unmarried beauty. Thus, she was loved by everyone in the company. However, Alicia surpassed her in all aspects. Not only was she gorgeous and had a nicer figure, but she was also very talented. She was well-known for being friendly and having good connections with everyone. Therefore, the two of them did not like each other. Also, Louisa always had the intention to make Alicia's life difficult.
Fortunately, they weren't working in the same department in the company, nor were they each other's subordinates.
At this time, Louisa stepped into the office with eight- centimeter high heels, saying, "This is the company's report for the month!"
Alicia took out a booklet and tossed it on an empty table.
It was unconventional for someone to make an appearance, speaking in such a manner. For a moment, there was a moment of silence and it was a little awkward in the office. Alicia was also dazed as she thought, "Who spread such rumors about me?" "Wow, this is new knowledge for me! Can such a surgery leave so many scars on the abdomen?" Alicia retorted.
She then raised her hands to lift her shirt. A small part of her lower abdomen was exposed. In order not to create any friction between the shirt and the wound, her wound was still covered with gauze.
"Why are there so many people who can't have children now? Are they blind or stupid? There's no need to pity such people. They deserve it!"
Alicia not only proved her innocence but also sneered at Louisa's lack of common sense when she struck back.
She took out the proof of diagnosis from her bag. She waved it in her hand and said to Louisa, "The company provides staff benefits, right? Can I claim it for my operation fee, Miss Brock?"
Louisa showed an ugly face while she reached out her hand to grab it. "I'll check it out for you!"
Glancing around, she curled her lips with a look of disgust and complained in surprise, "One thousand and nine hundred dollars? It's less than two thousand dollars, yet you don't want to pay it with your own money? It's so troublesome for me to go to a few departments just to get it signed and approved!"
Alicia smiled and without feeling ashamed at all. "I'm poor. With a thousand dollars, I could have a few meals with tons of dishes! Thank you for helping me, Miss Brock!"
"Humph!"
Turning around, the woman stormed on her high heels and left while feeling furious.
At this time, Daisy Michaels poked Alicia's arm and whispered, "Alicia, shouldn't you be a little more polite?"
If she indeed offended Louisa, she might cause Alicia some trouble.
Alicia burst out laughing.
"Don't worry. Miss Brock is not only beautiful but also kind-hearted. I am pretty sure she won't get angry, right? It's just a joke after all!"
Alicia purposely shouted the last two sentences as she raised her hand and waved at Louisa.
"You won't deduct my salary, right? Miss Brock? I will be waiting for your good news!"
Turning around, Louisa was enraged. She snorted before whirling around and strode away.
Behind her, a group of colleagues gave Alicia two big thumbs-up as they praised, "Great job!"
With Alicia's remarks, even if Louisa wanted to cause her trouble behind her back, she would probably be too embarrassed to do it! Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When the crowd dispersed, Daisy and Miriam approached Alicia with some candies in their hands. "Alicia, you are really fearless! She is cherished by the general manager!"
"That's because she spread rumors about me."
After sitting down, Alicia waved her hand in the air and replied, "Don't worry. She is such a smart person. I am pretty sure she won't cause any trouble for me!"
Perhaps, she might do some petty actions behind her back, but in the end, everything would be settled without being biased. Most of the time, women were not as important as a career and money to men in the company! Besides, the decisions in the company were not made by the general manager alone! Plus, she was making money for the company too.
As for whether Louisa had a flirtatious relationship with the general manager, she was not aware of it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done so.
The worst case scenario was that she would be forced to leave the company, wasn't it?
Unlike last time, Alicia had experiences and connections at present. Although she needed this job, she wouldn't be afraid to resign.
"Speaking of this, Alicia, you've blamed the wrong person!"
After Daisy finished speaking, Miriam, who was beside her, nodded and started speaking.
"That's right! It's all Mr. Callum's fault! He's the one who likes to flirt with women in nightclubs and insists that we call him by his first name 'Callum'! He told everyone that you behaved coquettishly. Also, he said that you were unwilling to be alone hence you hooked up with him secretly. He also mentioned that you took leave because you lost a child. I heard that you guys texted and you said it yourself..."
"Yeah! I don't know how he got your picture but his display picture was your photo! Everyone in this building was talking about it yesterday!"
"That d*mned hooligan!"
Alicia gnashed her teeth angrily and regretted instantly as she had misled him when they were talking. Fortunately, Frederick had witnessed it in the hospital. Otherwise, she would be so dead!
"Alicia, you don't have to be angry! No one will take his words seriously. If it wasn't that he has a beautiful sister and an ugly brother-in-law who runs the company, he would not be able to be this successful! But, thank goodness, he has been taken away!"
"Huh? He has been taken away?" What did that mean?
Miriam made a "cuff" gesture secretly.
Alicia was dumbfounded and her eyes widened with doubt. "He was arrested? Why?"
Was it because of karma? She didn't think so!
"He hired prostitutes and was suspected of kidnapping an underage girl to take some kind of explicit video. He even shared some disturbing videos... The police went to his office in the morning, thus everyone in the building knows about it now. He even shouted that he was wronged. Not to mention
he is a drug addict too. When he was dragged away, he was bawling nonstop. It was extremely shameful!"
"Yes! I saw it too. Two days ago, everyone was discussing it! Anyway, we have always known that he is a disgusting man! Didn't he tell everyone that he would sleep with different ladies every single day? All of us actually laughed behind his back and joked that he has never seen a woman! Now it seemed that some girl had reported him as it appeared she wasn't from the nightclub. In short, she was not 18 years old yet, and it was not a voluntary act. If he is convicted, he would be sentenced for at least three years!"
"Karma! He is so unlucky as he recorded what he said and there were other pieces of evidence too..."
"However, some people say that he may have been wronged. But in fact, he is just not very good at it! He needs to take some medicine all the time. That's why he hasn't had any children since he got married." "Anyway, it's very troublesome. Even his brother-in-law can't bail him out! Maybe he has offended someone!"
Listening to their conversation, a trace of suspicion suddenly flashed across Alicia's mind. "Does this have anything to do with him?"
