Chapter 243:
“Women can’t just rely on their looks. Maybe she’s good in bed. You all have a lot to learn!”
Selina’s words made everyone laugh again.
Bella’s POV:
The words spoken by my colleagues in the pantry became more and more unpleasant.
Although I was angry, I knew it would be useless to argue with them now. Instead, I would just end up being attacked. So, I turned and walked away.
As I turned around, I saw Amy standing awkwardly behind me. I frowned and entered my office. I placed the glass on the desk and sat down in the chair, feeling dejected.
At that moment, Amy entered, turned around, and closed the door.
“Manager, Selina is the type of person who talks nonsense. Don’t let what she said upset you too much,” Amy said as she walked over to my desk and tried to comfort me.
Although I wasn’t happy, I knew Amy was right. I took a moment to adjust my mood.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry,” I reassured her.
Then Amy whispered, “By the way, I already know the background of Selina.”
“What?” I looked up, surprised.
“It’s Boss… Boss’ girlfriend, named Vivian. She’s a painter, a top-notch one who has exhibitions all over the world. She only comes back twice a year. Selina is a relative of Vivian. She joined the company a long time ago. She’s good at her job, but her character is terrible. Boss doesn’t like her, which is why he didn’t promote her when there was an opening for the financial manager position. Instead, he recruited someone from outside.”

Amy walked up to me and spoke in a low voice.
“I know. Go to work,” I replied, after hesitating for a moment.
“Yes,” Amy said, and then she left.
Although Klein’s girlfriend had never appeared publicly, I knew she held a very important place in Klein’s heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have continued to tolerate Selina.
Selina had always been unfriendly toward me. I guessed it was because she thought the financial manager position should have been hers. That’s why she often caused trouble for me.
Selina had deliberately exaggerated the rumors about Klein and me around the company. She must have her own plans. Was Selina connected to Vivian? It seemed they must have been in contact. Could it be that she wanted to use the scandal between Klein and me to draw Vivian back, and then have her pressure Klein to force me out of the company so that Selina could become the financial manager? I had already guessed what she was up to. But what should I do next? I was feeling lost.
At noon, I was feeling so down that I made an appointment with Joey for lunch.
As soon as we sat down, Joey said with a sigh, “I knew you’d treat me to lunch. You have to comfort me.”
“What’s wrong with you?” I asked, feeling even more frustrated. Today, I was the one who needed comforting.
“It’s that bitch. She keeps coming to me with trouble. I’m afraid I’m going to lose all my bonus!” Joey complained.
“Why is it that neither of us is doing well?” I looked at my lunch in front of me but had no appetite to eat.
