556: Ruth Digs Her Own Grave!
556: Ruth Digs Her Own Grave!
Nora frowned, her displeasure at its maximum.
She had disliked Ruth very much ever since the first ti they had t.
Not only did she use Black Cat to hype herself up, but she had also used Y to make the others like her… She sure was flattering herself a lot.
To think she had actually stolen the credit for the good deed that Nora had done anonymously the night before, though?
Hah.
Nora cast her eyes down, feeling a little displeased.
However, she had always been easy-going in nature, so she didn’t say anything.
After all, she couldn’t possibly just go up to everyone all of a sudden and say that she was Q.
She still had to keep her identity a secret.
But despite her not making any trouble, she never expected that her conflict with Ruth would co this quickly!
At two to three o’clock in the afternoon, just as she was about to leave and go ho out of boredom, she ran straight into Ruth!
Ruth, who had her head lowered and was carrying docunts in her arms, walked over hastily and collided with Nora!
Nora imdiately stepped back and quickly avoided the impact of the collision.
However, as Ruth was in high heels, she fell onto the floor.
Thud!
A loud collision rang out in the hall.
Upon hearing the sound, the others all rushed out.
“Are you alright?” “Ruth, are you okay?” A look of pain ca over Ruth’s face.
As she massaged her lower back and got onto her feet, she looked at Nora and sighed.
“Ms.
Smith, why didn’t you grab just now?” Nora: “??” She frowned and stared at Ruth.
Then, she replied unhurriedly, “I didn’t react in ti.” Ruth’s sweet and pretty facial features scrunched up into a look of pain, making everyone feel bad for her.
She massaged her lower back and sighed again.
“Never mind, I’m alright anyway, I won’t bla you for it.” Nora’s mind was full of question marks again.
What was she blaming her for?
Her brows drew together.
When she turned and got ready to leave, Ruth suddenly said, “Ms.
Smith, you look rather free to , can you do a favor?
I need to photocopy these docunts, but I think I may have to sit for a while.
Can you photocopy them for ?” The look in Nora’s eyes turned cold at once.
She turned to Ruth and imdiately replied, “I’m not free.” Was she making her do chores?
Ruth was clearly trying to take her down a notch!
When she was about to leave after her reply, Damon suddenly lost his temper.
He said, “That’s enough, Ms.
Smith!
There should be a limit to everything you do.
Just because we aren’t holding it against you, it doesn’t an that you can behave so brazenly!” Nora: “???” Damon shouted furiously, “What did you an when you said you didn’t react in ti?
I saw with my own eyes that you took a step back.
You obviously could have caught Ruth and prevented her from falling, yet you didn’t reach out.
I’d wager it doesn’t even occur to selfish people like you to help others, right?” Damon continued yelling out his thoughts.
“Q obviously works in the Smith Corporation.
Now that the team has run into problems, all you need to do is say the word and he would help, yet you are unwilling to help us out!
In contrast, look at what Ruth did.
She waited until the middle of the night yesterday for Y to co online to solve the huge problem for us!” Nora’s gaze suddenly turned frosty.
“Q doesn’t receive a single cent of remuneration from the special departnt.” So why should he think that Q should provide her services to the special departnt?!
Moreover, never mind that she had done a good deed anonymously, and never mind that Ruth had stolen all her credit—but now they were actually using the credit of what she had done to make things difficult for her?
Hah, then there was no way she could let this go so easily anymore!
The mont she said that, Damon choked on his breath.
To be honest, Damon was actually aware that his resentnt toward Nora was unjustified.
Q was a network consultant that the Smiths had externally hired, so why should he provide his services to the special departnt?
But the scariest thing among humans was direct comparison!
Before Ruth joined the departnt, Nora’s attitude would only have given people the impression that she was haughty and beyond one’s reach.
However, after Ruth joined the team, she had personally helped to contact Y and even straight-up fixed the special departnt’s network issues for them.
Comparing one to another would only pointlessly vex oneself.
Now that they had soone to compare her with, it made Nora seem too selfish and callous!
With that in mind, Damon cheered himself on and said angrily, “Yes, the special departnt has certainly never paid Q a single cent, but the special departnt serves the people!
If even Ruth can approach Y and beg him for so long to help us out, why couldn’t you approach Q?” He was twisting reason and resorting to fallacious argunts now.
Nora ignored him.
Instead, she turned to Ruth, let out an icy sneer, and then said, “So, it’s thanks to you that the IT Departnt’s network was fixed?
You were the one who went to Y and asked him to fix it?” Ruth sighed when she heard what she said.
To be honest, she hadn’t seen Y co online at all even after waiting the whole night the day before.
She’d originally been planning to make up an excuse to gloss things over, but unexpectedly, the mont she reached the special departnt, Damon had rushed up to her excitedly and thanked her for her efforts.
Soone had gone online and hacked into the system the previous night, and also helped them repair the system.
Ruth had been dumbfounded at the ti, but because Damon kept thanking her, causing all the other colleagues around them to also thank her, she had tacitly admitted to it.
After all, according to Damon, Y and Q were the only people who could soundlessly infiltrate the special departnt’s network and fix their bugs!
It was impossible for Q to be the one who had done it.
After all, the special departnt had already approached Q so many tis, but he had completely ignored them.
In that case, it could only be Y.
Y must have seen her request and co over to help.
Seeing that Nora had adopted an attitude like that, Ruth sighed and said, “Ms.
Smith, there’s no need to focus on whose credit it was.
I’m just helping out my colleagues.
Just like Damon said, we’re all serving the people here.” Her choice of words simply couldn’t get any prettier!
Nora narrowed her eyes and asked once more, “Did you or did you not ask Y to help the IT departnt with the bug fixes?” Ruth narrowed her eyes.
Faced with such an aggressive inquiry, she could only bite the bullet and answer, “Yes, I did!” Damon and their other colleagues imdiately spoke up.
“Ruth, you are so impressive!
We thank you on behalf of the special departnt!” “Yeah.
You’ve only just joined us, yet you’re doing so much for the special departnt and being so concerned for us.
You’ve done the IT departnt such a big favor.
You’re setting such a good example for us all!
We need more comrades like you in the departnt!” “Good employees like you are so rare these days~ So people just can’t be compared to you!” “…” Ruth, who was being showered with complints, adopted a very humble attitude on the surface.
She gave them an exceptionally sincere smile and said, “No, these are things that I should be doing.” Damon imdiately said mockingly, “To you, these are things that you should be doing, but for so people, even though they obviously just needed to lift a finger to help out… People shouldn’t be too selfish!
Especially people in our line of work.
If everyone decides to be selfish, then how are we going to protect the society and keep the peace?!” Nora cast her eyes down frostily as she listened to what they said.
She had really beco angry this ti.
She slowly shifted her gaze to Damon and asked coldly, “Who says Y was the one who fixed the bug?” Damon was stunned to hear that.
He replied, “What do you an?
Who else could it be if not Y, Q?”
