Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 43: Regret

Linda looked at Sally in anger once they were in the office.

Back in the time, it was Linda who worked really hard to get Sally a job in the Lu Group.

She even went out of her way to help Sally deal with her problems many-a- times.

But sadly she hardly showed any progress in the past few years.

"Have you noticed that you have technically made zero progress from the inception of your employment here? The only thing you did was steal any plan that you liked.I know I did not warn you explicitly.But did I not tell you to not offend Janessa? What made you think that you could ignore my advice?"

"I know.Janessa is to be blamed for everything.She could bring even the abandoned trash plan back to life.I am surprised that she would make such a stupid mistake this time."

In a fit of rage Sally tore the plan in her hand and cursed Janessa even more.

Janessa always gave her difficult times from the day she worked in the Planning Department.

"Don't give me that look.I never blamed you for your past mistakes because I had the ability to help you out no matter what.But you need to understand that it is different this time,"

Linda said seeing that she had nothing to do.

What could she do anyway? She somehow manipulated her colleague, but this time Sally was humiliated in front of the CEO!

"Just keep calm.I will ask Janessa to create a new plan and submit it.Hopefully this will solve everything.I need to leave now."

With this Sally rushed to Janessa's seat.

Even Linda could not say anything to stop her anymore.

"I need you to give me a perfect plan before your shift ends today."

"Okay.But once it is done, who gets the credit? You or me?"

"Why are you asking irrelevant questions? Just get the work done as soon as possible."

There was no way that Sally would ever let Janessa take any credit for the work.

"I'd rather not write it.I did submit a perfect plan already.Now you are asking for me to rework on it.Who will take the onus if anything goes wrong, when I rewrite it? Will you?"

"Obviously I will.I am the one who has to take the responsibility if your plan has flaws.Just get on with work and do as I say!"

Sally was aware of the fact that Janessa always liked to challenge her.

She did not take any step yet for the harassment caused in front of the CEO, but if Janessa continued to talk, she would make her suffer bitterly.

"You don't have to write anything right now.Come, I will take you out for a bit."

Saying this Sally left to go to the corridor.

Janessa took out her phone and send a text message before she left her seat.

Then she waited for a few minutes before she made her way out.

Janessa followed Sally down the corridor until the two of them were completely alone.

"Quickly tell me, what do you want exactly?"

"What do I want? Why on earth did you give me that wrong plan? What was your motive?"

Sally started getting flashbacks of the humiliation she had to go through during the meeting.

She wanted to slice Janessa into a million pieces.

Initially she thought that she had impressed everyone with her smart plan only to realize a while later that everyone saw her as the fool.

Janessa was astounded at how shameless Sally was.

She looked with disgust in her eyes.

"You stole my plan from me, but you were dumb enough to not check it even for once.Also, remember this is the first time ever that I wrote a plan.I did not clearly know what to pay attention on.Weren't you suppose to tell me all that?"

It was evident that because Sally was so careless, she had to go through the embarrassment.

She could have avoided all this, only if she had checked the plan once.

She would have never made a fool of herself.

But it was really unfortunate that even at this point Sally refused to own up to her mistake.

Janessa swiftly noticed that the person she wanted there was waiting on the other side of the glass.

She poked Sally to blurt out more information.

"It seems you are still not convinced that the fault was on your part.But tell me this, I worked for three days just to get this plan ready and then you just claim it as yours.How can you do that?"

Janessa finally questioned.

Her anger and hopelessness was clear in the tone.

"So what you wrote that plan? Even if I admit that, what difference will it make? The only way you have any chance of getting a promotion is when I am given an important position in company.Janessa, listen to this very carefully, just because you can write a plan don't necessarily mean you are invincible.Once you give me the plan, the credit is all mine.The only reason you have a job here is because you have relationship with the CEO, isn't it true?"

‘My relationship with the CEO?' Janessa was amazed at the statement.

She realized that Sally had no logic whatsoever and she was just being ridiculous.

She was already divorced from Rayan when she entered the Lu Group as an employee.

She did all her work on her merit.What did anything have to do with her relationship with Rayan? "You don't say anything, so you acquiesce in it? Are you telling me that the CEO would really put the company at stake for you even after the divorce? You are shameless to still work in the Lu Group.

Don't try to act smart because I know clearly, what you are thinking.

You just want to resolve with the CEO and secure your position in the company.

No matter how hard you try, it is Gracie who rules the CEO's heart."

Sally knew every detail.

Does that mean she and Gracie were friends? This would probably explain why she had a strong dislike against her from the day she joined.

But what about the possibility that Sally and Gracie both had a crush on Rayan? But Gracie was an extremely possessive person.

She did not know the art of sharing.

Then what was going on here? Did Sally do this because she like Rayan or there were some other stories? "Get this straight and clear.

As long as you are a part of this company you have no other choice but to listen to me. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Anything you do or create, I take the credit.

You crossed a limit by pestering Gordon, you bitch of a lady! I am warning you, if you do not stay away from him I will make sure that you learn a lesson." In her rage Sally spewed out poison through her mouth.

When she realized her mistake, it was already out there in the open.

Gordon? Now Janessa knew.

Everything was clear as the day.

It was Gordon that Sally had a major crush on.

Seeing the smug look on Sally's face, Janessa smiled bitterly.

It was not a surprise that this woman was being used by someone else.

It must be Gracie who had been giving such orders.

Janessa wondered how Rayan would react when he would come to know about the ruckus his sweetheart was creating.

"Was our talk clear enough for you to hear clearly? I wonder how you will deal with her.Please talk to her yourself."

"What are you saying? Who are you speaking to? Who is going to deal with whom?"

Sally was confused and looked around only to find a tall figure emerge from the corner.

She was so flabbergasted that she sat on the ground, trying to hide herself.

"Mr...Mr.Rayan! Ryan walked out with panache and looked at Sally with piercing eyes coldly.

"Mr.Rayan, I'm apologize for my arrogance.Please forgive my naivety.I made a huge mistake.I am really sorry!"

Sally was not prepared for this sudden encounter with the CEO.

The Lu Group had two very strict rules.

The first one was that nobody was allowed to instigate each other.

The second one was that it was forbidden to steal credit from others.

Sally had broken both the regulations.

There was no way for her to bypass the penalty that awaited her.

"There's no use regretting.You shouldn't have done this in the first place."

Rayan shook his sleeves off and left in disgust.

Sally was all alone on the floor knowing that her future was already ruined.
