"He spoke up for , and as a result, he was fired by the company." Florienna Ellis’s expression revealed a trace of guilt on her face.
The crowd suddenly had an epiphany at this mont.
Back when Florienna joined the company out of nowhere, many people knew that she had Teddy Carter backing her.
But whenever they inquired about it, Teddy never gave a straightforward answer, and Florienna rely said Teddy was just a distant relative of hers.
Even so, there were plenty of whispers in the company about the true relationship between the two, and over ti, it gradually beca an open secret.
Now that sothing like this had happened to Florienna and Teddy stood up for her imdiately, didn’t this essentially confirm everyone’s earlier suspicions?
As for Teddy’s departure from the company, the reason behind it naturally sparked deeper thoughts among those in the crowd.
"So it really is like that. I’ve been saying there’s no way Team Leader Carter would resign for no reason!"
"Oh my god, the company is just too much. What are they planning to do about Charlotte Thompson?"
"What else can they do? With the Thompson Family backing her, us small-ti employees could never..."
But before the conversation could finish, soone knocked on the break room door, reminding them that they shouldn’t be slacking off during work hours.
The group exchanged glances before gradually returning to their respective workstations to continue their tasks.
Returning to her seat, Florienna pulled out her phone.
The discussion earlier had jogged her mory; Teddy had indeed been fired because of her, and, of course, Florienna was well aware of the real reason behind it.
To her, Teddy no longer held any value, but he had been quite nice to her most of the ti, not to ntion that set of design plans...
Nevertheless, Florienna had long since stopped seeing Teddy as worth her attention.
Moreover, after finding out earlier that Justin Battleson might secretly have feelings for her, she felt an even greater sense of elation.
However, when Florienna saw the ssage she’d sent to Teddy and saw that there was no response on his social dia profile, she felt a faint displeasure rising in her chest.
As such, she sent him another ssage.
Yet, just like last ti, her ssage sank like a stone into the sea. Florienna waited for a long ti but still didn’t receive a reply.
Normally, it was she who didn’t reply to Teddy’s ssages, so this role reversal left her feeling deeply dissatisfied.
Glancing around, Florienna made up an excuse to head to the restroom, when in fact, she was trying to call Teddy.
After a long series of ringing tones, Teddy finally picked up Florienna’s call. By now, the prolonged wait had drained what little patience Florienna had, and she almost failed to suppress her displeasure when she spoke.
"Why didn’t you answer my call?"
But in the next instant, Florienna realized her tone had been inappropriate, so she imdiately softened her voice and asked with feigned concern,
"I heard from Human Resources that you resigned voluntarily. What’s going on? Did sothing happen?"
On the other end of the line, after a long silence, Teddy’s voice finally ca through slowly:
"The reason I left the company... aren’t you the person who understands it best?"
Teddy’s voice was so unnervingly calm that Florienna didn’t pick up on anything unusual in his tone.
However, when she heard Teddy shift the topic onto her, Florienna quickly responded,
"I didn’t expect that just for saying one word on my behalf, you’d end up being targeted by Charlotte Thompson. I’m sorry, this is my fault for dragging you into it."
