Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Social Ostracization

On the second day of work, Erin was swamped at the office. She was at every designer’s beck and call. Erin and her friends who had been transferred to the design department were currently being ostracized by others in the department.

However, Dana, Milly, and Ella were lucky. All three of them had been assigned an assistant position to head designers, so even though there were people in the department who did not like them, no one dared to actually order them around.

Erin’s case was different. She finally got some time to take a break and walked into the break room to get herself a glass of water. Dana also happened to be walking out of the break room and pulled Erin to the stairwell.

After she shut the door, she asked, “Erin, did your husband come to pick you up after work yesterday?”

Erin froze. She had not told them about her divorce, nor did she want to tell them that for now. After all, there was nothing glorious about having a cheating husband.

“No, my best friend came to get me.”

Dana nodded.

“That’s good then. Did you know when I went to get coffee in the break room just now, I heard people gossiping about you? They said that they saw you in an expensive car like a gold digger and that your transfer to the design department was because you know one of the higher-ups. They also said much worse things but I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

“Ah, just let them gossip. I am innocent! Though, with our design experience, we really aren’t qualified to be a part of Frost Corporation. I don’t know which idiot decided to let us join the team. I’m not surprised that the designers here don’t like us.”

Erin had an idea of her capabilities and where they would get her, but Dana clearly did not agree with her. She was immediately unhappy.

“Erin, how can you put yourself down like that? The four of us entered the company because we are capable and not because we had relations with the higher-ups! How can you look down on yourself like that!”

Seeing that Dana was upset, Erin decided that she should just stop trying to tell her the truth. She gave a light laugh.

“Yeah. Let’s just get back to work so they can’t say that we’re slacking off.”
