The next day.

When Nelly went to work, she found everyone's gaze on her became weird.

Since she had few friends in the company, she could only integrate information collected from the fragments of her colleagues' conversations. When she heard such remarks as "Nelly is a hussy" and "what dumb luck she's got", she put a hand on her head and sighed, "Mrs. Dou E (a Chinese story character who suffered injustice), you can rest in peace now, because you have me to continue your story."

Soon, she found her workload became heavier than usual. If an errand could be done once, the female colleagues would make her do it twice with an excuse of being forgetful.

Nelly tried to explain that the relationship between Benjamin and her was not what they thought, but in vain. "The ugly duckling is about to turn into a swan. Why does she bother to pretend innocent? Could it be that the boss asked her to cultivate good relations with us and supervise our daily work?"

The wavy-haired woman holding a mirror and brushing her eyelashes was a group leader called Jasmine Wilson. Her greatest hobby was to make trouble out of nothing. So usually, keeping silent was the best way to face her slander.

"What a vivid imagination you have!" Nelly didn't believe silence was a good way to handle defamation from the wicked. Instead, counterattack was her strongest weapon to defend herself. She showed the file in her hand to Jasmine. "Look at what this is."

Jasmine raised her eyelids lazily and had a glance at the file. "You asked me what this is? Isn't it the report for this season? Don't show off this to me. I've stayed much longer and learned much more in this company than you!" It was she who had written this report overnight. Why was Nelly so foolish to ask such a question? How ridiculous!

"Good to know that." Nelly wore a polite smile, but her words then stunned Jasmine greatly. "I looked through it and found at least three mistakes in it. If I were really a spy sent by Mr. Longman, you couldn't have sat casually here to wear makeup. You would have been called to the office and slagged off!"

Eyes opened wide, Jasmine didn't believe she would be defeated by this nobody in the first round! "Go and snitch on me if you want! I'm not afraid of you!"

Although her voice was loud, her eyes were filled with fear. Lynne Davis, who was sitting next to Jasmine, rose hurriedly to take the file from Nelly's hand. She tried to mediate, "Jasmine can correct the mistakes, right? Why tell Mr. Longman about this and make everyone unhappy?"

Nelly shrugged, showing her innocence.

Seeing Nelly's friendly response, Lynne Davis then tried to persuade Jasmine, "Jasmine, it's kind of Nelly to tell you the mistakes, or you would be scolded by Mr. Longman..." Then, she warned in a low voice, "Don't put on airs. Nelly is favored by Mr. Longman now. What good it will do to offend her?"

Hearing that, Jasmine still pulled a long face. Only after a push by Lynne did she say reluctantly, "Thanks!"

"My pleasure!" Nelly smiled with satisfaction and added, "We should think twice before doing one thing to avoid some ridiculous mistakes. Do you agree, Miss Wilson?"

Then, she went back to her seat directly, leaving Jasmine's sour face behind.

After that, the sarcastic voice finally stopped around her. They might be afraid that she would really tattle on them. When her eyes ran down the office deliberately, those who had been looking secretly at her all lowered their heads at once.

The gossipers still talked about her behind her back. But at the same time, the lickspittles also took action.

For example, Lynne Davis, who had just mediated the dispute, showed 200% of kindness to Nelly. She had lunch with Nelly, chatted with her at a noon break, and even went to the toilet with her. Nelly felt more than uneasy being followed like this. "Aren't you afraid that Jasmine would be angry seeing you with me?"

As far as Nelly knew, Lynne had a good relationship with Jasmine, or she couldn't have persuaded Jasmine to compromise.

"She won't be angry. We're colleagues who should help and support each other." Lynne didn't care much about that.

Nelly thought, "Could you be more hypocritical when saying that? Why didn't you help and support me before?"
