Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 499 Let Me Go Just This Once

When I went back to my workstation, everyone turned their gaze to me. I was aware that they would think that I was a pain in the neck after what happened that day.

Mr. Finnley and Anne were in his office, talking about something for a long time. Eventually, she ran out with reddened eyes. It led me to think that he was serious about giving her the boot this time, which would mean he was an utter and complete scumbag. Anne might've resorted to petty and dirty tricks because she didn't like me, but she could only do what she did after she got permission from Mr. Finnley. After all, he wanted to get me, his competitor, out of the picture.

I wouldn't deny that cutting off his losses was the best way to keep himself safe. However, Anne was just a pawn in the power grab. If he didn't give me a satisfactory explanation, I wouldn't let him off that easily either.

The next morning, Mr. Finnley called me to his office. "We've found the person who slandered you, Rinatta. It's the security guard who worked his shift that day."

This was completely unexpected.

Not a lot of people in Erewhon liked to work overtime, and Anne had been hanging out with her friends at the bar then. So, it was impossible for her to have sneaked back to secretly take photos of me. The security guard was the only one who knew that Willis and I didn't leave, but he was also just a pawn.
