“Alright, it’s settled,” the bald man said coldly. “Charlotte, learn from your seniors, both in conduct and in work!”
Before leaving, he gave Charlotte a meaningful look.
The factional struggle in the office was indeed terrifying, and since Charlotte was under Deandre’s wing, she belonged to Deandre’s faction. He wouldn’t show mercy.
And Bella getting this order was advantageous and harmless for them!
Moreover…
They had caught Deandre by the tail. Let’s see how he handles it when I report to the manager later!
Bella smirked, “Charlotte, don’t pretend to be wronged here and make a fool of yourself! A thief is always a thief!”
“You can’t wash away your guilt!”
“And also…”
“Remember! This time I let you off, but there won’t be a next time. I won’t be lenient! Got it?”
“This order is rightfully mine. Remember for the future, don’t take what isn’t yours, or you might lose your hands!”
Charlotte’s eyes turned red, and she turned and left, heading straight for the restroom.
She turned on the tap, cupping her hands to wash her face. The cold sensation flowed over her skin, and she couldn’t tell if it was water or tears…
She couldn’t help but choke up. She had never been so wronged in her life, accused of being a thief! And nobody trusted her! They were all stabbing her in the back!
How could she survive here in the future?
She couldn’t face anyone anymore…
She couldn’t compromise like this; she had to clear her name!
After returning from the restroom, Charlotte glanced at everyone and found that they were all looking at her with distant eyes.
Full of disdain, contempt, and disgust!
She smiled self-deprecatingly. Although she didn’t need their approval, being falsely accused and isolated felt terrible!
Bella sat at her seat, looking at her with mocking eyes, as if looking down on an ant, extremely proud and smug.
Charlotte gritted her teeth, stood up directly, and walked towards the supervisor’s office, finding Deandre.
She couldn’t bear it anymore!
Deandre looked up, rubbing his face. “Miss Pittman, what’s the matter?”
To be honest, he didn’t want to deal with this mess. He couldn’t afford to offend Charlotte’s husband, but the things she did… he couldn’t protect her either!
“Mr. Chandler, I request to check the surveillance footage,” Charlotte said firmly. “I didn’t steal her necklace; I’m being falsely accused.”
Seeing Charlotte’s determined look, Deandre paused and said, “If we check the surveillance and something happens, you’ll take responsibility?”
“I will take full responsibility!”
After a moment of thought, Deandre realized that Bella might indeed have framed her earlier…
“This is not easy to handle. Only the core higher-ups in our company can access the surveillance. Even our manager doesn’t have that authority.”
“I need to consult the manager!”
“Thank you, Mr. Chandler,” Charlotte smiled, feeling relieved.
As long as she got the surveillance footage, she could prove her innocence!
Deandre sighed inwardly. Well, seeing her in such a pitiful state, he’d help her out!
Moreover, if it turned out that Bella had indeed framed her this time…
If it got exposed, Bella would be finished too!
This woman always opposed him, and she belonged to the factions of the other two supervisors.
Pulling her down would show those two that he wasn’t to be trifled with!
“You can leave now; I’ll go find the manager.”
Deandre hurried to the manager’s office. As soon as he walked in, he saw the two supervisors sitting in front of the manager, spraying spit, seemingly complaining about something.
