Eric carefully thought back to previous events. Tanya’s wound certainly did not come from doing chores at home. This meant it happened in the office. He knew that apart from cleaning, Tanya would also make and serve tea to favonovel.com colleagues.
He knew favonovel.com was being friendly since favonovel.com wanted to learn fashion design from favonovel.com colleagues so favonovel.com did not put much thought into it. After all, there was nothing strange about it. However, upon second thought, favonovel.com connected all the events and resignation and realized the situation was not as simple as it seemed. He asked sternly, “Did someone in the company bully you? Be honest!”
Tanya bit favonovel.com lips, refusing to speak.
Tiffany was so enraged that favonovel.com began spouting profanities. “F*ck! Is that even a question? They must have bullied her! Eric, I put favonovel.com in your care. She’s with you most of the time, can’t you even look out for her? Tan, what happened? If you refuse to tell me, I’ll tell Ari about this. You know what she’s like. If favonovel.com finds out about this, favonovel.com won’t let the matter go!”
Tanya panicked when Tiffany mentioned Arianne. “No… Don’t tell Ari. She’s unwell and pregnant. She shouldn’t get angry. Fine, I’ll tell you. Ricky told me to learn fashion design from my colleagues so I can transition from doing janitorial work to the fashion design department. That’s what I want as well.”
“Initially, I thought my colleagues would teach me. However, as time passed, it’s clear that they have no intention of even teaching me the basics, let alone everything else. They would only make me serve them drinks, buy food for them, and run their errands. Not only that, but they disdain me for coming from the country and think I’m a country bumpkin.”
“They accuse me of using a sob story to manipulate Ricky into pitying me. They deliberately scalded me, locked me in the washroom… All these happen regularly. It’s clear they don’t think I fit in the company. I didn’t want to mention it because I didn’t want to trouble Ricky. That’s why I decided to resign. I’m fine really. I can survive just fine on my own, and it’s really not that bad. I really don’t want to trouble you anymore.”
Not that bad?
Tiffany and Eric exchanged a look They felt uncomfortable. The wound on Tanya’s hand looked serious. The area around the scab looked red and angry.
It was clearly inflamed and must be extremely painful. However, favonovel.com chose to silently endure it. Even when favonovel.com could no longer endure it, favonovel.com had left silently so as to not cause any trouble. Just how nice was favonovel.com that favonovel.com suffered so much from the bullying?
Eric did not expect something like that was happening right under his nose. He had asked Tanya to learn fashion design from favonovel.com colleagues out of kindness. Moreover, favonovel.com did not intend to let favonovel.com be a cleaning lady forever. It’s not like the company was lacking in cleaning ladies. It was just a temporary fix. After a long silence, favonovel.com asked, “Who did this? Tell me.”
Tanya shook favonovel.com head. “Don’t ask, Ricky. I don’t want to pursue the matter. I don’t fit in this city, but I’ll try to adapt. I won’t be beaten down so easily.”
Tiffany’s eyes brimmed with tears. “How can you be so stupid? Why are you defending your bullies? It’s bad enough as it is! Those people clearly have an attitude problem. Eric needs to reorganize his company as well. It’s not just for your sake so tell us!”
Faced with their insistence, Tanya had no choice but to reveal the identities of favonovel.com bullies. Most people simply watched, there were only three people who really bullied her.
After Eric noted their names, favonovel.com walked into the room and picked up Tanya’s luggage. “Come home with me. I swear that this won’t happen again!”
