Chapter 116 I'll Handle It For You
Seeing that Janet was absentminded, Gerda nudged her with concern. "Why don't you take the rest of the day off and go back home? It's big news now. Everyone's been discussing it from the morning. I heard that people are complaining and reporting your misconduct to your superiors because they feel what you did was unfair to your adoptive parents."
"I'm fine. In fact, I already anticipated this result." Janet shook her head and smiled bitterly.
She had thought that everything would come to an end once her adoptive parents gave her the money. Regardless of what Fiona and Bernie did, they took Janet in and gave her a home after all.
But Fiona couldn't just let go and let Janet have the money. The woman wanted to make trouble for Janet.
Gerda knew every family had a skeleton in its closet. But she didn't expect such a reserved, calm person like Janet would encounter such unfortunate things. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"How about you explain it to Ms. Fisher? You should at least fight for it. You still have to build a good rapport with your colleagues in the future. A bad reputation would only ruin your career.
Janet smiled but didn't say anything, for she knew that was precisely what Fiona wanted.
She wanted to ruin Janet's reputation once and for all.
But Janet made up her mind not to let that happen. Although she was a little grateful to her adoptive parents for giving her a home, she couldn't allow Fiona to slander her like that.
"Don't worry about me." Janet patted Gerda's shoulder. "Thank you for rooting for me."
"It's no big deal." Gerda smiled and went on with her work.
Just as Janet wracked her brains, thinking about how to explain herself to her superior, she received a message from Brandon.
"The company has been receiving complaints about you. What happened?" Brandon cut to the chase.
Janet swallowed as her face flushed with embarrassment.
She was a little afraid of Brandon. After all, he was the boss of the company; Janet didn't dare to neglect him. She quickly briefed him about the conflict she had with her adoptive parents.
She didn't know whether he would believe her or not.
Brandon didn't question her morals and character. Instead, he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to clarify everything but haven't figured out how to do it yet." Janet read and reread her message for a long while before sending it.
After all, she felt so stupid for not coming up with an idea yet.
Instead of condemning her for being stupid, Brandon sent a message that surprised her.
"Don't let this matter affect your work. I'll handle it for you."
Janet was terrified that she dropped her phone.
How could she bother her boss by asking him to help with her personal issues?
"Thank you, Mr. Larson. But I can handle it myself. This is my private affair," she quickly replied.
However, Brandon's profile picture turned gray, and her message was read, but she didn't receive a reply.
