Chapter 688:
“Herbert gives me a bouquet every day.”
Linda’s face flushed with delight as the smile on her face widened.
It was clear that Linda was very pleased. I didn’t know how to respond, so I remained silent. After a moment, Linda composed herself, her expression turning serious as she said, “Bella, from today onward, you will resume your position. You’ve been wronged recently, and your work performance has been excellent. After Jessica left, the company decided that you will take over as the general manager of the sixth group. You will start immediately. I hope you will lead the sixth group to achieve great success.”
“Linda, where did Jessica go? I want to know… how did this all happen?” I asked.
Linda smiled again.
“We should really be criticizing Herbert for this. He didn’t even tell you.”
Her smile grew, radiating joy.
It was as if she was passionately in love. Passionately in love? With Herbert?
A sharp pain gripped my heart, but I swallowed it down. After all, I was just Herbert’s ex-wife. I had no right to interfere with his relationships with other women.
Linda continued, her smile still evident, “The investigation is complete. It was Jessica who colluded with Jeremy to sell the QT Company’s plans to competitors. Both of them were taken into custody by the police. The company is very regretful about this. Jessica was always placed in an important role, so her dismissal was inevitable.”
The same day. Even if they don’t go to jail in the future, they won’t have a place in this industry!”
I should have been happy to hear that. After all, it meant I wouldn’t go to prison. But for some reason, I didn’t feel as happy as I thought I would.
“Bella, I believe in your abilities. I’m sure you’ll lead the sixth group to success,” Linda said, all smiles, her tone gentle and encouraging.
“Thank you, Linda. I will,” I replied, nodding.
“There’s no need to thank me,” she said with a smile.
“Of course, I’ll take care of the person Herbert asked me to look after.”
Bella’s POV:
After leaving Linda’s office, I felt like I was in a dream. Selina and Jeremy had been punished for their actions. After Selina left, I had been promoted.
But I knew that if it weren’t for Herbert, I probably would have been fired and arrested today.
At that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Herbert. If it hadn’t been for him, I might have been in prison by now.
When I returned to the sixth group, I found that my colleagues had already moved my things into Selina’s old office. The items that Selina hadn’t taken with her were piled up in the storage room.
The same female colleagues who used to push me away were now being kind to me.
This society was so realistic.
