The Secretary Wanted To Gossip About Me
Chapter 1
At the company’s annual meeting, explicit private photos suddenly popped up on the screen.
The boss rushed to unplug the power cord, but the secretary stopped him.
She had always resented my promotion and kept suspecting I had climbed the ladder through physical favors.
As everyone looked on, she moved in to click play.
I desperately tried to stop her.
“Winika, you’ll regret clicking that!
“Let’s talk about this outside now. Don’t delay everyone’s awards!”
Winika Clark sneered coldly. “You dared commit such acts, but you’re blanching at the idea of showing it to the world?
“Our colleagues are all gathered here today. I can’t think of a better time for all of us to enjoy watching how you climbed the ladder!
“Since it’s an awards ceremony, let’s evaluate whether you deserve the ‘Easiest of the Year’ award!”
I froze. But the photos… were hers?
At the company’s annual party, I was preparing the raffle system for the grand prize draw.
However, Winika Clark suddenly shut down the raffle webpage. She grabbed the microphone and stood before the projector screen.
“Since it’s the company’s annual party, we should make it livelier! Does everyone want some juicy gossip?”
Suddenly, a folder named after me appeared on the big screen.
It was a file my boss, Zoran Lane, had accidentally sent me when transferring materials. It was filled with all sorts of racy, private photos.
Fearing his fiancee would find out, he had threatened and bribed me to delete every trace of it from my computer.
I did not care the least about his personal life, so I brushed it off.
When Winika moved to open that folder, I grabbed her hand.
“Winika, what are you doing? This is the company’s annual party! Don’t delay the raffle! We’re talking about the grand prize! There are so many people here! Stop this! If you have any issues with me, let’s resolve them privately!” I tried to reason with her calmly, but she yanked her hand free.
“Resolve them privately? What’s there to resolve? About how you climbed the ladder by sleeping your way to the assistant manager position? I think everyone here would want to hear the juicy gossip!”
With that, she shoved me aside and faced our colleagues below the stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, with the year ending and everyone in a festive mood, don’t you all fancy some explosive gossip? Watch closely. Let’s see how our so-called ‘upright and virtuous’ assistant manager secretly seduced Mr. Lane!”
The crowd below had already grown restless.
“We need this scoop! Hurry up and spill it!
I frantically glanced at Zoran, who stood by the door. He was chatting with his fiancee with a fawning smile on his face.
The next second, I received a message from Zoran. [Stop her now!]
Winika ignored my protests and immediately started the slideshow.
A shockingly explicit photo instantly filled the large screen.
It showed a bunny girl in crotchless black stockings, kneeling on a bed.
A man’s bare legs could be seen lying beside her.
Everyone was stunned.
Winika shouted, “Can’t you all tell?! That’s our newly appointed assistant manager, Aurora Jones! It looks like Mr. Lane promoted you not for your work skills, but for your bedroom prowess!”
That skinny body did not even remotely look like me!
Just as I was about to defend myself, her eyes glinted manically.
“Stop it! That’s not me!”
Fearing she would reveal more photos, I tried to appease her.
However, she remained utterly reckless.
“I don’t think these photos are convincing enough! Let’s look for more dirt!”
She clicked open another photo.
“What do you have to say about this one? Do you still deny it?”
The scene looked eerily familiar.
Behind that unmistakable silhouette lay Zoran’s office!
The banquet hall erupted in an instant.
Several vice presidents exchanged glances.
“Isn’t that Mr. Lane’s office?”
“Yes, yes! I go in there every day to report on my work! I even placed those documents on that desk!”
“The files beside it are mine!”
The room erupted in a cacophony of voices.
Winika froze.
As Zoran’s secretary, she naturally recognized his office.
