Chapter 137

An hour after the boss left, the workgroup issued two notifications.

The first notification roughly stated that Aurelia had violated employee unity, damaged the company’s

reputation, and would be penalized 1,000 points. She had to submit a self- reflection of a thousand

words and read it aloud at the Friday staff meeting.

The second notification announced the promotion of Kimberly to the vice director of the Marketing

Department.

There was one punishment and one reward, leaving Aurelia’s efforts in vain.

Immediately, congratulations for Kimberly filled the air.

“I knew Kimberly would be the vice director.”

“Of course, Kimberly has a wide network and abundant resources. The boss isn’t stupid. He knows

who is important.“.

“No matter how hard others try, they can’t have Kimberly’s good fortune. They’re just born without the

luck to make a fortune.”

Kimberly stood up with a smile. “Alright, everyone, that’s too much. The boss chose me because he

valued my abilities. People without abilities naturally won’t catch the boss’s eye.”

Hearing this, colleagues unconsciously turned to look at Aurelia with disdain.

Aurelia sat at her desk in silence.

Kimberly glanced at Aurelia and continued, “I’ll treat everyone to celebrate my promotion and pay

raise.”

“Yay!”

The cheerful voices of the crowd echoed, piercing Aurelia’s ears.

She clenched her fist to maintain her composure, but Kimberly had no intention of letting her off.

Kimberly approached Aurelia gracefully. “Aurelia, I’m not even angry with you. Why are you sulking?

Tonight, I’ll treat you to something good…”

She paused, then slowly leaned on Aurelia’s desk. “Oh, I forgot. You still have to write that self -

reflection. I won’t waste your time then.”

“Sure.” Aurelia nodded, her expression emotionless as she looked at Kimberly.

Seeing that Aurelia remained unfazed, Kimberly snorted.

“Just acting tough,” she muttered under her breath and left.

In less than half an hour, the entire building knew about Kimberly’s appointment as the vice director of

the Marketing Department and about Aurelia’s plagiarism and penalty.

After work, others followed Kimberly enthusiastically to celebrate.

Aurelia calmly tidied her desk when her phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

Without much thought, she answered. On the other end, Seth’s triumphant laughter echoed

“Aurelia, how did you end up this way? Where’s your husband, the one who only knows how to hide?

Why hasn’t he come out to help you make things right?”

“Aurelia, no one else would treat you right aside from me. Wake up!”

“Now, if you divorce and beg me to marry you, I promise not to hold grudges. I’ll treat you well…”

Frowning, she didn’t wait for him to finish to finish his sentence and hung up.

Seth was in the building’s chat group as well, so it wasn’t surprising that he knew what happened.

However, what made him think that she would get back together with him when he came to mock her

for her failure?

Who did he think he was?

She set her phone down and prepared to get off work.

Just then, someone stood by her seat.

Glancing at the blue dress before her, Aurelia felt nothing but disgust.

“Aurelia, I …

Aurelia didn’t give Millie a chance to speak and walked straight past her.

Millie was momentarily taken aback and caught up to her. “Aurelia, why are you doing this to me?

Haven’t you embarrassed me enough today?”

Aurelia stopped and glared at her, wondering where she got the nerves to blame her.

“Millie, you need to get it through your head that I didn’t embarrass you. You embarrassed yourself.”

“Why you!” Millie’s expression darkened and she said with displeasure, “I’m sorry. I was being too

blunt. But you knew I was dressing up today, so why would you steal my thunder?”

“Is that your excuse for scheming against me? Do you really think that I’m supposed to forgive you just

because you said you are sorry?”

“What else do you want me to do? Do you have proof that I did something?” Millie asked nervously.
