Car Borrowing Controversy
Chapter 2
Because my mood was affected by Lana, my work efficiency was not great. By the time I finished my work, it was already an hour after get off work.
I tidied up simply and went to the parking lot. Lana was waiting for me with a big belly.
As soon as she saw me, she immediately greeted me with a smile. She was no longer as arrogant as she had been in the company. "Jolene, why did you come down so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up, let's go home."
Some people could be so shameless.
"Lana, I've made it clear to you. How can you be so shameless? If you want to take my car, you have to pay."
Lana's face froze. "Okay, I'll pay you. It's only two dollars to take the bus. I'll give you three dollars, okay? You've made a fortune."
The journey from the company to my house was more than six miles, and she made it sound like they were close, just taking the subway would cost more than three dollars.
I didn't want to talk too much with her. "Get lost. I won't let you take my car."
I wanted to leave, but she stood in front of me and grabbed the handle of the car tightly.
Since she was pregnant, I couldn't fight her. I had to lock the car and take a taxi home.
As soon as I got home, I saw Lana's husband, Alaric Ramsey, standing at my door of, glaring at me. He rushed over and questioned me, "Lana is pregnant, but you left her in the parking lot. Why are you so mean? If anything happens to her, I won't let you go!"
He left in a huff.
A moment later, an alert appeared on my phone indicating that my car was being vandalized.
I knew it was Alaric and Lana who did it. I called the police right away.
I first checked the surveillance to collect evidence, and then took the police to Lana's house. They were happily eating and watching a variety show.
When they saw the police, Alaric insisted that he didn't do it. He didn't shut up until the evidence was shown.
Lana said politely, "Sir, she and I are colleagues. This is a private matter. We'll solve it in private. We won't bother you."
She thought that I was as easy-going as before. How was that possible?
I refused to mediate and they proposed compensation and negotiated with me.
Not only did they have to compensate me, but they also had to be detained.
Alaric was detained, and Lana took two days off because of this. Without her in the company, even the air became fresher.
However, when my colleagues saw me, they either wanted to say something or sighed and left. I was confused.
Not long after, I was called to the office by my leader.
"What's going on between you and Lana? Did she almost miscarry because of you?"
I was confused.
My leader sent me a video, and I opened it and saw that it was a short video posted by Lana on a platform complaining about her colleagues. Because she had mentioned the company name before, everyone in the industry knew that a female employee named Carter bullied a pregnant colleague.
A competing company of ours also used this video to do bad things. They said that I might be a human resources officer who followed the leader's instructions to fire a pregnant woman.
Once the company had disputes with pregnant women, everyone would pregnant women first.
I hurriedly explained and showed all the evidence.
My leader thought for a while and asked me to apologize to Lana first.
He said that this was the intention of higher-level leaders and that we must keep Lana calm and wait for public opinion to disappear.
I argued, "But I'm not wrong."
The leader said gloomily, "Unless you have a better way to solve it..."
I looked at Lana, who was still doing the live stream. Maybe there was a better way.
