Female NovelChapter 2323
Stella said coldly, "I'm not Jaylene. Don't try your flattery on me, and don't blame me if my words get harsh."
Julia's face turned a mix of green and white. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't get a word out.
The elevator arrived at the seventh floor, and Wren, Julia, and the others stepped out. Stella, expressionless, closed the elevator doors.
Once the doors were fully shut, Julia looked up, her face openly showing her resentment. "She just got lucky being born into the right family. People call her Ms. Hall and she really thinks she's something!'
A colleague quietly cautioned, "Stop it, someone might hear you."
Julia dismissed the warning, "Let them hear! Everyone in the company knows Caline belongs to Ms. Arnold. We're just humoring Stella by calling her Ms. Hall. Even Wren knows who to listen to. Doesn't she get it?"novelbin
The colleagues exchanged glances but said nothing.
Last month's paychecks showed that employees in Stella's department received a bit more money. The surprising part was that her department often finished work earlier than others. Rumor had it that Stella changed the bonus distribution. Previously, the supervisor's bonus was calculated separately, with the rest divided equally among the staff based on attendance. Now, Stella included her bonus in the pool, resulting in her taking less but raising the overall wages for her team.
In the end, everyone works for their paycheck. Who cares if Stella knows anything about perfumery? What mattered was that she genuinely improved their income, and this was evident to everyone.
Especially with the buzz around the "blind date group" she started. She really used her connections to introduce people! The latest sensation was the photo of a guy named Skylar Sadler.
What bad intentions could Ms. Hall have? She just wanted to help every sister find a home!
Julia glanced at Wren with a sneer. "You have quite the skills. Even after all that, she didn't take it out on you."
Wren kept her eyes down, silent and unresponsive.
A colleague tried to defend her, "Come on, Julia, you know what Wren's like," which only irritated Julia more.
A pathetic pauper acting all high and mighty!
Julia suddenly smiled, finding a target for her frustration.
"You think she's so noble now, but she's just an ungrateful wretch. When her salary wasn't paid, and her grandmother needed hospital care, it was Ms. Hall who asked Kiara to transfer a hundred thousand to her account, saving her from
desperation. Such a lifesaving favor deserves more than just thanks, but what did she do? When Ms. Hall stood up for her, she stabbed Ms. Hall in the back. I was just standing up for Ms. Hall earlier." Read the latest
chapter there!
Stella had kept this quiet, respecting Wren's dignity, so this revelation changed how everyone looked at Wren.
Ingratitude is always despised, and even those who had defended Wren fell silent.
Moments ago, Wren was too
ashamed to look up, but now she stared directly at Julia Goldly saying, "I've already repaid the hundred thousand. I never asked her to help me, and I don't owe her anything. If you want to curry favor with Ms. Hall, don't use me as your stepping stone!"
Julia was taken aback, her intentions
embarrassingly exposed, and she lashed out "Ungrateful wretch! Shut your filthy mouth! Who's currying favor?'
"Whoever responds to me is the one."
Julia, enraged, was about to hit Wren when someone stepped in, stopping her. "What are you two doing?"
