It was not until lunchtthat Jrealized that something odd was afoot at the office.
She had overheard a few of the senior designers talking about her in hushed tones at the canteen She couldn’t, however, clearly
make out what they seemed to be gossiping about Just then, Gerda suddenly flung open the glass doors and burst into the
design department She rushed to Janet, struggling to catch her breath all the while.
She placed her hands on Janet’s table for support and said in less than a whisper, "I heard that you was rude to Ronald Williams
when you had dinner with him last night? And you even went on to physically strike him? It turns out that you are extremely hot-
tempered, like a raging bull.I didn’t expect that from you in the least bit!"
Jwas more confused than ever when she heard this.
"What on earth are you talking about? How could I ever hit someone?"
Gerda smacked her lips and pulled Jup to her feet.
"Forget it.I don’t think I can explain properly for you to understand the gravity of the situation.Cwithand see what’s going
on with your own eyes!"
After saying that, she pulled Jtowards the stairway in the office.
Then she whispered in Janet’s ear, "I overheard them talking about you just moments ago."
Jcarefully peered down the stairwell only to be met by the sight of several senior designers, the very sones who she’d
seen at the canteen.
They were complaining in a wholly unimpressed tone and clearly apportioning full blame.

"Oh, my God! How can she ever be so selfish? Now she offended the client and the result is that the project was
canceled.Everyone’s bonus is in jeopardy and it is all her doing!"
"She probably did that because the man is not handsor rich enough for her, so she doesn’t want to sleep with him.
After all, she is the kind of woman who sleeps with others for benefits she can get from them.
Jwas utterly dumbstruck for a moment.

"Wasn’t Patty the one who offended Ronald? Why are they saying it was me?"
Gerda seemed to have discovered a big secret.
Her jaw dropped to the floor with surprise at this new information.
"What did you just say? So it wasn’t you that insulted the client, but Patty?"
Jmanaged to keep her wits about her.She patted Gerda on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for this.I don’t know what
happened that it has cto this confusion.I have to talk to Tiffany about this immediately."
Tiffany was occupied in her office.
When she saw Jcin, she sighed heavily and said earnestly, "Patty has toldeverything.She said that you were
harassed by Ronald and you hit him in response.It’s not all your fault, so she didn’t put the blsquarely on you.She thought
that you might feel embarrassed to talk about it, so she toldin private, first thing this morning."
After a pause, Tiffany continued, "Lind, I know you just graduated and you lack social experience, but regardless of everything,
Ronald is still a major client of ours.Even if you encounter such a situation, you should deal with it in a more sophisticated,
diplomatic manner.If every designer in the company took the sstance as you, and hit our clients whenever they feel
offended, how can we run the company?"

Jwas so livid that her voice trembled with the inner rage.
She tried her best to keep her anger under control, and said, "Miss Fisher, this matter has nothing to do with me.The person who
offended Ronald is Patty!"
She had never thought that Patty was so devious, conniving and downright despicable.
Last night, Patty defended herself so fiercely when Ronald had harassed her.
But now she didn’t want to take the responsibility for what she had done, and she even put the blon Jinstead.
When Tiffany saw how righteous Jwas being about her version of events, she no longer knew who to believe.
With a frown, she said, "I’ll ask Patty to chere right now.You can confront her, face to face"

When Patty cto the office, she pretended to be very surprised "What’s the matter"
Tiffany gave Patty and Ja meaningful look before she opened her mouth "Is there any misunderstanding between you two
about what transpired last night? Patty, you should keep in mind what you informedof just this morning But just now, Janet
toldthat she wasn’t the one who hit Ronald She said it was you who had conflict with Ronald and you put the blon her
intentionally."
There was no flaw in Patty’s expression at all.She covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes were wide with astonishment
and mock innocence.
After a few seconds, she asked in disbelief, "Janet, how can you ever try to put the blonfor your actions? Miss Fisher, I
didn’t lie to you.It was Jwho hit Ronald.Perhaps it was because she had been harassed by Ike before, so she overreacted
when she encountered the ssituation again."
Filled with fiery fury, Jretorted, "What happened last night was that Ronald touched you, and then you shattered the glass
on his head!"
With an innocent look on her face, Patty said, "I didn’t hit him.It’s your fault.I tried to persuade you to keep calm during the meal,
but you didn’t listen toand calleda coward.I knew you were in a bad mood, so I didn’t take it to heart.But how can you lie
when the truth is simple and in black and white?!"
