Chapter 2768
'Huh. What's the point of groveling in front of me now? If it weren't for the fact that he lost his uncle's support today, he'd probably continue to bully others,' thought Rita.
Her heart hardened once more when she realized that so many interns had suffered at his hands.
"You're only pretending to be pitiful because I said I'd sue you. Did you ever have a shred of regret when you were bullying us newcomers? No. In fact, you seemed pretty happy about it. But why wouldn't you be? After all, you're getting something for nothing by stealing our materials and articles."
Lenny sighed, wanting Rita to stop. The entire entertainment department would be the laughingstock of the company if this got to other departments.
However, some of the colleagues present started from the bottom too, where Chase had also stolen articles from them. They all crowded in front of the boss.
"Yeah, you were so giddy when you were stealing our articles! Who are you pretending to be pitiful for now?"
Lenny understood, too. Everyone was angry, so he decided not to stop them. Otherwise, they might turn against him, which would not be worth it.
"I know my mistake. I really regret what I did, and I promise I won't do it again! Plus, I've been fired now, haven't I? I really won't do it again in the future. Please forgive me just this once!"
Anyone who saw him in such a sorry, red-in-the-eyes state would never have imagined that he was so arrogant just 15 minutes ago.
"Sorry, Chase, but I've always been someone who settles scores. I can't learn to turn the other cheek."
Chase still persisted stubbornly, preparing to continue groveling unless Rita forgave him.
However, Rita knew she had to make him face the consequences, not just for herself but for the other newcomers who had experienced similar treatment.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"You can cry all you want. Heck, you
should cry louder so that our colleagues from the other departments would come over too That way, they can see what you've done. I have nothing to fear because I'm in the right. Even if this matter is exposed, it won't affect me can't say the same thing for you. You've been fired, and your uncle can't help you find another job. What are you going to do then? Are you really going to become a paparazzo?"
Rita bent down and patted his face, her imposing manner leaving the others stunned.
She knew that if she did not let go of this matter, it would inevitably lead to gossip among the other colleagues. However, she had been through so much, and Chase brought all this upon himself. In the end, it was Lenny who stepped in and stopped Chase's sobbing.
"That's enough! A grown man like you should be ashamed of crying on the ground like this. You have hands and feet, so even if you don't work as a reporter, you can still supporte yourself through other jobs. It's not like you'll die if you don't have your uncle supporting you. Besides, you should have thought about this
before you started smearing your colleagues. Don't tell me you've never ever considered what would happen if your actions were exposed?"
The other colleagues remained silent, so Rita naturally did not want to say more.
In the end, Chase had no choice but to get up. He glanced back at his workstation. He did not want to clean it up, but if he left it as it was, his colleagues would probably throw away all of his stuff.
There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that maybe after this incident, his uncle could rearrange for him to come back. However, he did not expect Lenny to stand by his side and watch as he cleaned up his stuff, signaling that a newcomer was about to take his place.
