Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Let Piper Reveal Her True Colors! Several female employees instinctively moved to one side of the elevator, maximizing the distance between themselves and Robin. The atmosphere inside the elevator instantly becawkward.
It wasn't until they reached their department's floor and exited the elevator that the women finally breathed a sigh of relief.
One woman turned back to look at Robin and quietly asked her colleague, "Who is that man in the elevator? He looks really familiar." "Hmph! He's pretending to be all suave while harassing female colleagues!" "We need to stay away from people like him in the future..." Watching the backs of the women, Robin couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that if they knew who he was, they wouldn't say that. As soon as he got to the office, Piper's call cin.
Robin didn't want to deal with her, so he turned off his phone.
A message from Piper popped up on his computer's Discord.
"Robin, even if you turn off your phone, you can't escape! I'm asking you one last time, do you want to accept me?" Robin chuckled to himself. Accept you? What a ridiculous woman.
He replied, "Do whatever you want!" Piper replied, "Okay! Robin, I hope you won't regret it! "I will send the photos from last night to the middle and senior management video conference at the company!" Robin couldn't be bothered to argue with her anymore and closed Discord.
Shirley was lost in thought on her way from Vista Lake to Eastvale Development Group, reflecting on what had happened last night.
The moment she thought about Robin witnessing her embarrassing situation, she felt extremely frustrated. She had given Robin the key to the villa before, but how could she have not anticipated that he might suddenly decide to stay there one day? How awkward would it be to see Robin again after this incident? With her head down in contemplation, she didn't even notice when Amber knocked and entered the office.
Amber saw Shirley's cheeks flush as she sat lost in thought at her desk, shook her head, murmuring to herself, and continuously mumbling something. What's going on with her? Amber stood in front of the desk for five or six minutes, but Shirley still didn't notice.
Finally, she had to speak up, "Ms. Dunn...
|| "Ah!" Shirley jumped in surprise. "Amber, how could you walk in without making a sound?" Amber pouted. "Ms. Dunn, it seems like you didn't hearknock. What are you so engrossed in thinking about?" "Is that so?" Shirley hurriedly opened her computer. "Oh, what do you need from me?" Amber looked at the somewhat dazed Shirley and asked, "Ms. Dunn, are you okay?" "I'm fine. Go ahead," Shirley replied as she turned on the coffee machine to brew a cup of coffee.
"Ms. Dunn, it's about the recent financing for Southvale." Amber took out an investment report related to the Southvale business project.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Currently, there are many capital firms wanting to bid for financing. Jonah has specially compiled a list of these investors for you to review and finalize a few." Shirley set down her coffee and took the list from Amber.
She stared at the table, but her mind was blank, muttering to herself, "This is so embarrassing!" Her strange comment left Amber confused.
"Uhm, embarrassing? What do you mean, Ms. Dunn?" Shirley glanced at Amber, then at the office door. "Go close the office door; I have something to discuss with you." Amber didn't know what Shirley wanted to say.
With a heart full of suspicion, she closed the office door, feeling a bit anxious.
Shirley waved her over. "Chere, I want to ask you a question." "What question?" Amber asked nervously.
Shirley hesitated for a moment and then, feeling embarrassed, asked, "Amber, if ... if you found yourself in a very awkward situation in front of a guy you like, how would you make up for it?" Amber shook her head. "I don't have a boyfriend yet, Ms. Dunn.
"Ms. Dunn, what do you mean by an awkward situation?" Shirley thought for a moment and said, "This awkward situation means... it's something you wouldn't want him to see but he accidentally saw it, and it's really embarrassing. What should I do?" "I don't know." Amber shook her head, muttering to herself, "What kind of things shouldn't be seen? Personal diary? Or maybe not having makeup on? "That's not right. You look even better without makeup than with it..." Shirley's face turned bright red. "Go away! Asking you is like asking for nothing. I won't talk to you anymore." Amber stuck out her tongue, looking at Shirley's flushed face, unsure of what she was trying to express.
"I don't have a boyfriend..." Shirley pouted in grievance.
Shirley laughed. "I was just asking you; look how flustered you are! Alright, go back to work." "I won't participate in the 9 AM video conference with that company. Please inform the executive vice president to host today's meeting with the middle and senior management." At the stime, as Shirley and Amber were talking, an explosive piece of news broke on the company intranet. Ambiguous photos of Robin with a female employee from the marketing department were posted online.
The publisher even attached a few remarks behind the images, implying that Robin was using his position in the company to harass her! In an instant, this news caught everyone's attention and beca hot topic of discussion in various departments of Eastvale Development Group.
Rosalie, who was working, also saw the ambiguous photos of Robin and Piper on the intranet.
She was immediately stunned.
What on earth is going on? What kind of person would do such a despicable thing? After a brief moment of confusion, Rosalie realized that Piper must have done this! Last night, Piper had used her phone to trick Robin into going to Graceview Apartments.
It was all part of her schto coerce Robin into submission, and she had intentionally set up the camera in advance.
Today, she even took a portion of the photos out of context and posted them on the company intranet-how vile! As she watched her colleagues whispering about the incident, many of them were disparagingly cursing Robin, which infuriated Rosalie.
How could Piper do something so disgusting? Isn't she trying to ruin Robin's life? Thinking of this, she quickly ran toward the marketing department.
Just as she arrived at the elevator, Amber called.
Earlier, after seeing the news posted on the company intranet, Amber had immediately informed Shirley.
Shirley was very angry.
She believed that Robin would never do such a thing.
The room in the photos should be the one Robin had lent to Rosalie.
She instructed Amber to bring Rosalie in for questioning.
This was Rosalie's first tin Shirley's office, and she felt quite nervous.
"Rosalie, you've been with the company for a while now. I heard it was Robin's recommendation that got you into Eastvale Development Group.
"Your department head mentioned that you complete all your tasks exceptionally well." Rosalie nervously nodded. "Ms. Dunn, the company payssuch a high salary, so I can only work hard to live up to this position." Shirley nodded in approval. "It seems Robin's recommendation was very good." "Rosalie, has something been going on in your life lately? Robin lent you his Graceview Apartments, right?" Rosalie broke out in a cold sweat. "Ms. Dunn, yes, yes. But I'm only staying for a few days because I didn't have anywhere else to go and was planning to move out ..." "I'm not here to discuss that with you," Shirley said coldly.
"I brought you in to understand the situation regarding Robin, Piper, and you from last night. hope you can tellthe complete truth about what happened." Only then did Rosalie realize the real reason Shirley was calling her in.
She recounted everything that had happened last night.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShirley was very angry.
She had to help Robin clarify the facts! She didn't want to deal with someone like Piper, who was beneath her notice.
However, given the despicable actions Piper had taken, Shirley was determined to make this clueless woman pay the price! Robin was a benefactor to her and the Dunns.
For someone like Robin to be framed and slandered within the Dunns' company was something Shirley and the Dunns could not tolerate! So, she gave Rosalie instructions on what to do.
After Rosalie left, she went to Robin's office.
At that moment, Robin was idly playing a game.
Seeing Shirley arrive at his office at this tsurprised him greatly.
Could it be... could it be about last night in the villa bedroom?
Before she could speak, he blurted out, "Uhm, about last night... I was at Vista Lake because was there to catch a thief and ended up in your bedroom... Anyway, don't worry. I didn't see anything." Shirley was stunned. She had nearly forgotten about that incident, and here he was, bringing it up! Suddenly, she felt awkward standing in his office, unsure whether to go in or leave.
She stamped her foot in frustration, exclaiming angrily, "I'm not here to talk about that!" "Huh?" Robin was a bit bewildered.
Shirley took a step closer. "Piper posted the photos of you and her from last night on the company intranet. Now the entire company is talking about you." "Talking about me?" Only then did Robin recall Piper's previous threat.
He opened the intranet, looking at the suggestive photos with amusement, and said, "This kind of baseless gossip do you believe it?"
Seeing his indifferent expression, m Shirley grew anxious. "Of course, don't believe it. Rosalie jusftoldeverything that happened. "But... aren't you concerned about this at all?" Robin scoffed. "Why should I care? I didn't do anything, so let her make a fuss if she wants." Shirley sighed. "This isn't just about you anymore. This situation could severely impact the company's entire management.
"If someone leaks this outside, it could damage the reputation of the Dunn Group as well.
"Robin, for your personal reputation and the company's interests, I have to handle this properly." Robin paused for a moment. "Will it really have such serious consequences?" "Yes!" Shirley shook her head. "Speople always think they're clever! "Don't worry I've already asked Rosalie to gather evidence. Soon enough, Piper will reveal her true colors!"
