Chapter 875: Chapter 875: Are You Deliberately Watching to Mock and Slap My Face?
After leaving Director Hopkin’s office, Catherine Ford was in good spirits and was about to go talk to Grace Clarke about the situation, but after looking around, she couldn’t find her anywhere. She asked Lewis who was nearby, “Where is Grace?”
“So people from Universal just ca and took her and Rita Pansy away. Do you need Grace for sothing?” Lewis, who was about to head to the venue, answered listlessly.
Catherine Ford nodded, “Yes, I need to talk to her about sothing.”
“Chances are she won’t be back to the departnt today. Maybe you could try the venue later, they are rehearsing there, and Grace will definitely head there after she’s done,” Lewis explained.
Catherine Ford nodded again, thinking that Carol’s application still needed a reply from the upper managent and would take so ti, so she responded to Lewis, “Alright.”
After finishing speaking, she thought about it and still sent Grace Clarke a ssage telling her not to rush with the mask matter.
After completing these tasks, Catherine Ford headed back to her station to revise the host script.
But not long after, Rita Pansy returned furiously and threw her bag onto her desk with a loud thump, a disturbance so significant that Catherine Ford couldn’t help but look up.
Regrettably, the mont she looked up, she caught Rita Pansy’s gaze. Slightly stunned, she planned to continue with her work, but Rita Pansy was not about to let her be, heading straight towards her desk, “Are you laughing at ?”
Catherine Ford, “…”
This question ca so suddenly that Catherine Ford was completely bewildered!
“Still playing dumb? You’re so close with Grace Clarke; I don’t believe you don’t know she is… she is… ” Rita Pansy subconsciously glanced at the office, checking to see if there were other people around.
Seeing that she stopped mid-sentence, Catherine Ford grew even more curious, “She is what?”
“You!” Rita Pansy was infuriated by Catherine Ford’s utterly confused look, her eyes swirling as she thought of sothing, “You can’t possibly also be unaware that Grace Clarke is Lawyer Jones’ girlfriend, can you?”
Catherine Ford’s breath hitched, what even is this!
And her reaction, in Rita Pansy’s eyes, confird the thought, followed by a scoff, “So your relationship is really just like that.”
Catherine Ford frowned, knowing that Rita Pansy had been flaunting around pretending to be Lawyer Jones’ girlfriend for a few days. How did it suddenly reverse to being Grace Clarke? What exactly is going on!
“Grace Clarke is not Lawyer Jones’ girlfriend. Don’t talk nonsense, she doesn’t have such intentions.” Catherine Ford thought about it and decided she should not let Rita Pansy misunderstand, as it could cause trouble for Grace Clarke later, and she already had an answer regarding Benjamin Jones’ issue, not wanting such misunderstanding to occur again.
However, upon hearing her words, Rita Pansy mocked even more vehently, “She told you she’s not Lawyer Jones’ girlfriend? And that she doesn’t have such intentions? I think you’re the one who’s really out of the loop!”
After speaking, Rita Pansy went to her own station to pack up her things. Catherine Ford couldn’t help but frown and decided to send a ssage to Lewis, “Do you know what happened to Rita Pansy?”
Lewis, who was busy, saw the ssage and was puzzled—what could have happened to Rita Pansy? He muttered to himself before he was about to respond to Catherine Ford, then heard other people from other departnts discussing Rita Pansy. Curiously, he moved closer, “What happened to Rita Pansy?”
“Aren’t you from the logistics departnt? How do you not know?” soone asked Lewis back.
Scratching his head naively, Lewis replied, “I really don’t know, what happened exactly?”
“Tsk tsk, Rita Pansy from your departnt was publicly humiliated by Secretary Noah from Universal!” the person whispered mysteriously into Lewis’s ear.
Lewis was puzzled, “Secretary Noah hit Rita Pansy?”
That’s a bit too much!
The person stared at Lewis speechlessly, “It ans she was taphorically slapped, not physically. Didn’t your departnt’s Rita Pansy claim to be Lawyer Jones’s girlfriend? Lawyer Jones’s secretary has already clarified the rumors; Lawyer Jones doesn’t even know Rita Pansy.”
“This… can’t be, right?” Lewis was bewildered. This sort of thing could still be faked, and Rita Pansy even said Lawyer Jones would co to the annual eting. How could that be fake, that she isn’t Lawyer Jones’s girlfriend?
“Why not? It’s said that Secretary Noah clarified it personally. Tsk tsk, she dared to lie about such a thing, it serves her right to be taphorically slapped!” The person sneered at the end, completely forgetting how they had tried to please Rita Pansy just the other day.
Lewis, sowhat sighing, sent the news he just heard to Catherine Ford.
After hearing this, Catherine Ford felt strange about why Benjamin Jones would go out of his way to clarify such a matter, and why Rita Pansy stated that Grace Clarke was actually Benjamin Jones’s girlfriend was another question.
With various doubts in mind, Catherine Ford dialed Grace Clarke to ask what was happening, but the call couldn’t go through. After thinking, she sent a ssage to the man at ho, “Did you have soone clarify it?”
She had just brought up Rita Pansy last night, and today Secretary Noah had debunked the rumor. She always felt that this might be sowhat related to her questioning Benjamin Jones yesterday.
Benjamin Jones replied quickly on the other end, “Yeah, I don’t want unnecessary misunderstandings to arise.”
Catherine Ford stared at the man’s reply for a while before putting down the phone. She deserved Benjamin Jones doing this; Rita Pansy had been using the ‘girlfriend’ claim to seek benefits for herself. Although it wouldn’t cause substantial harm to Benjamin Jones, it would have so impact on his reputation.
He did the right thing.
Catherine Ford wouldn’t bla Benjamin Jones for behaving like a saint, but she did feel sowhat sorry for Grace Clarke. Rita Pansy must have misunderstood her, and this ti Grace Clarke was taking the bla for her.
With a light sigh, Catherine Ford tried calling Grace Clarke again, but it still couldn’t connect and she had to give up for now.
…
At Universal Law Firm.
Seamus Noah received a call from Boss Jones in the morning, who asked him to clarify an unnecessary scandal to prevent negative implications. This prompted him, while communicating with LG staff on the details of the upcoming banquet collaboration, to subtly warn Rita Pansy. Unexpectedly, the girl’s face changed dramatically and she imdiately found an excuse to go to the restroom.
He didn’t care much originally, and continued discussing work-related matters with Grace Clarke. Unlike his previous oversight, this ti Seamus Noah was much more cautious, subtly inquiring from the side and also adding Grace Clarke’s Facebook. It was this action that confird his suspicions.
Because the lunch Grace Clarke posted in her Facebook Circle almost matched Boss’s exactly, and the lunchbox was clearly a couple’s set, there was no stronger evidence than this.
“I made a mistake before by mixing up your identity with Rita Pansy’s, Miss Clarke, please don’t mind. Lawyer Jones values you very much, and you can co to anyti if you need cooperation in work,” Seamus Noah sincerely apologized to Grace Clarke, then politely added.
Grace Clarke was still puzzled. Rita Pansy, having composed herself at the door, suddenly banged into the glass door and then angrily pointed at Grace Clarke, “So you are actually Lawyer Jones’s girlfriend, are you feeling quite smug now? You intentionally let act that way before, didn’t you, just to mock and see get taphorically slapped?”
“I didn’t, I…”
“Hmph, Grace Clarke, you really make people see you in a new light!” Rita Pansy dropped that line, not discussing work further, directly turned, grabbed her bag, and left.
Grace Clarke hurriedly chased after her to explain, but after going downstairs she failed to catch up with Rita Pansy and instead ran into Anna Ford. She couldn’t help but frown and was about to avoid her when Anna approached her.
