Everyone looked at each other, not sure what to say.

Rebecca was a total pro; no one could ever doubt her work skills.

All eyes turned to Derek, and suddenly, everyone realized just how much one passing comment could shape their opinion of Rebecca.

“I just said it offhand. Why are you taking it so seriously?” Derek never really got along with Jane anyway. “Besides, wasn’t I just thinking of Rebecca’s best interests?”

“Why don’t you ask them if this is actually good for Rebecca?” Jane said, glancing over at the other women in the office.

They all shook their heads in unison.

Derek choked back her retort.

“No matter who Rebecca is or who greeted her tonight, she’s still just Rebecca,” Jane said, shutting down anyone looking to stir up drama. “She’s our Rebecca from Team Eight.”

Rebecca had no idea how much Jane had done for her.

If it weren’t for Jane, all her dedication and talent would have been erased by Derek’s words.

Everyone would’ve forgotten how outstanding she was, and instead remembered her only as someone with a privileged background who was just here for a taste of ordinary life.

“Come on, sit here,” Jason said, guiding her over to Stephen.

Rebecca glanced at the open seat beside Yannie and instinctively said, “I can just sit over there.”

Before she could react, Jason practically planted her right beside Stephen. He leaned in and whispered, “Stephen’s here to back you up. Just stay put.”

Rebecca could only pause, momentarily lost for words.

‘Back me up? For what?‘ she wondered. Stephen and Jeffrey had never seen eye to eye.

Rebecca was about to speak, but as soon as she glanced up, everyone at the table was watching her. Yannie and a few others were giving her curious looks.

Sitting next to her, Stephen looked both classy and distant in his gray suit, his silver–rimmed glasses adding a refined touch. Leaning back, he softly called her, “Rebecca?”

“Huh?” Rebecca felt a bit weirded out by the way he addressed her.

“Did anyone give you a rough time just now?” Stephen’s tone was soft, but his gaze swept across the table with a silent pressure. “Just say the word. I’m backing you up.”
