Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 39 Malicious Rumor

'Hiram, if you really want to keep a low profile, you should try harder. Though the car you bought is just

a Volkswagen, it still cost a lot.

Or, is this car's price already cheap for you?' Rachel thought to herself.

Rachel thought carefully and said, "Well... Just give me the key later. I will drive it myself. It would be a

hassle for you to pick me up all the time."

Then Carl answered, "Okay… But I need to ask my cousin first. I'll go home now. I'll come back here

later to pick you after your work."

"Well… Fine." Rachel replied, and waved her hand. Then, she walked towards her workplace.

Rachel walked all the way to her office that was upstairs. While going there, she noticed that there

were people who pointed at her and whispered as if they were gossiping.

She felt confused; she couldn't hear what they were saying.

Some of Rachel's team members stood up together immediately when they saw her enter the office.

"What's up? Is there something wrong?

Please say your thoughts and speak honestly! We have been working together for almost three years,

so there is absolutely no reason to hide anything." Rachel put her bag in the cabinet after she said

those words.

Then, she pulled a chair and sat in front of them.

Fiona and Michael looked at each other, and kept quiet. They thought that the rumor that was spread

by others was too malicious and they just could not say it out loud.

Later, Celine came in angrily, sat on Rachel's desk and said, "Where did that rumor come from? It is

widely spread all over the company and people are talking about it! I really want to shut them up!"

"Tell me! What did they say?" Rachel moved back a little bit, and decided to listen carefully. She tried to

figure out what was the rumor about.

Celine took a glass of water and answered, "It's this silly trick played by the team B. They hold a

grudge against our excellent work. But how dare they spread that slander! They said that we got the

customers by sacrificing our dignities! Go the hell!"

"What's the exact content of the rumor? Be more specific, " Rachel asked as she thought who the main

culprit was.

"They... They said that we managed to get Manager Zhang back so easily because you seduced him."

Celine understood what Rachel meant. So she answered her honestly.

Fiona slammed the desk in anger and exclaimed, "I really can't understand why those people think that

way. We, as a team, achieved such results because of our capabilities. Why would they treat it so

maliciously?"

"Whatever they say, we believe in you, Rachel. We have worked with you for a long time and we know

that you won't do such thing." Michael stood up and agreed.

"Yes! That's true. Rachel, don't worry. We all trust you, and so do the company leaders." Then their

team members stood up one by one to show their support to Rachel.

After hearing those words, Rachel had a grasp of what was really happening. 'I seduced manager

Zhang?

I know who really did. I know it was her.

She was afraid that I would reveal the truth, so she accused me of doing that so I can be forced to

leave the company. And if she succeeds, she will have no problem anymore.

But everyone is thinking of me as a shameless woman now, and telling the truth would just be useless.

If I do that, they will just think that I am telling a lie to defend myself.

Moreover, it is just my speculation. I have no evidence to prove that there was really something

between Manager Zhang and Sandy.

Would anyone still believe in me?' Rachel thought to herself.

"That's fine. Let's go back to work. I believe that our leaders will help me with this." Rachel clapped her

hands twice and encouraged her team members to do their tasks first. She knew that they were still in

the critical period. She couldn't let what was happening ruin the final results.

She thought that if they achieved an impressive result, the company leaders would help her with her

problem.

"Rachel? Are you here? The sales manager wants to talk to you!"

The manager's secretary came and informed her. All team members looked at her anxiously.

Then, Rachel immediately went to the sales manager's office.

"Rachel, do you know why I invited you here?" The sales manager, Walter Wang, drank his tea and

asked her.

Rachel sighed. Though she knew that she was totally innocent, she couldn't avoid answering his

straightforward questions.

"Sir, I have worked here at the company for three years, you know how I do my job, " She answered.

"I know. You're definitely excellent. But why would such rumor exist? There should be a reason. Did

you go to manager Zhang of the XX mall?"

Walter asked. What was happening would have negative impact to the company. Once it's spread,

people might think that their company did things unethically.

"Yes. I did. But I was only doing my job. I went to him for sales business only." Rachel answered

honestly.

"Did manager Zhang accept your proposal?" Walter asked again.

Rachel looked down, and replied earnestly, "Yeah. That's because my plan was more effective for their

mall. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Is that really true?"

"Yes! Of course!"

"So, tell me. Why did someone say that Manager Zhang went into a hotel with one of our company's

female employee? And how did you successfully make him accept your proposal?"

A series of straightforward questions from the manager made Rachel uncomfortable. Then she asked

him, "Sir, do you have any evidence to prove that I went to the hotel with Manager Zhang?"

Walter slammed the table and scolded her. "I am your manager.

And I am here to find out the truth! What proof do you want from me?"
