It was really ridiculous.As a victim,I still had to prove my innocence to others.Even after I explained it clearly,I still had to endure the strange looks from others.But I wasn't afraid because I didn't do anything wrong.
Finally,the security guard came and carried Lily away.
Lily struggled desperately ,her face twisted in rage, eyes burning with hatred. She kept scolding me,and the words were as ugly as they could be.
After that,Lily didn't come to the community again.
A colleague at work mentioned that she has taken two weeks off to vocation in Sanya with her boyfriend.
I heard that she was showing off her love on the Moments every day,and my colleagues complained that their Moments were almost spammed by her.
I didn't have this trouble because I had already blocked her,and I wasn't interested in knowing her whereabouts either.I was busy accompanying the leader on business trips and working on projects.
During my leisure time,the leader's secretary,Lucy,scrolled through the Moments with an envious look on her face,“Lily gave up the opportunity to go on a business trip with the leader and chose to go on a trip with her boyfriend. They must be true love.”
I smiled but didn't say anything.
True love?Hmm...why not?
These two are really made for each other.
Noticing I was buried in paper work, Lucy asked with a hint of envy,“When will it be my turn to enjoy a sweet love affair?”
But all I cared about was making money.
Buy a house as soon as possible and settle down.
I didn't want to share a house with others anymore.
Half a month later,the project was successfully completed.
When Lily came back with the gifts from Sanya and distributed them to the colleagues with a beaming face,Emma and I had just come out of the boss's office.
Lily took a small box and casually waved it in front of me,then bypassed me,“Lucy,this is the lipstick I bought at the duty-free shop.I'm giving it to you.”
Surprised by Lily’s sudden generousity, Lucy hesitated and politely declined,“It doesn't look cheap.You'd better keep it for yourself.”
But Lily directly stuffed the box into Lucy's hand and wouldn't take no for an answer,“Just take it.My boyfriend bought a lot for me,and I can't use them all.This is the man-killing color that I specially saved for you.If you put it on,you'll definitely get out of the single state soon!”
Lucy had to accept it,with a very stiff smile on her face.
She was caught off guard by this sudden show of affection.
Only I knew that Lily was deliberately showing off to me.All the colleagues in the office received gifts,and even the cleaning lady's share wasn't left out.
I was the only one who didn't receive a gift.
Even a blind person could understand what this meant.
I almost burst out laughing.Lily was still as childish as ever.Did she think I would be jealous?
I couldn’teven bother to look her way.
Because next,Lucy announced the good news to everyone that I had been promoted to the department supervisor.
My colleagues all congratulated me.
With Politeness and touch of flattery.
I said a few polite words symbolically, emphasizing that the successful completion of the project was the team credit, and I hoped that we could continue to work hard in the future.
Finally,I generously invited all the colleagues to have mutton hot pot in the evening.
The office erupted in cheers again.
After saying that, I confidently strode to my own office. As I passed by Lily, I caught a glimpse at her out of the corner of my eye.She was still stunned, disbelief clearly written all over her face.
Come to think of it,I should thank Lily.If it wasn't for her giving up the opportunity voluntarily, I wouldn't have been promoted.
I wondered if Lily would regret it.
I shook my head, thinking to myself: Probably not. After all,in the world of a love-struck girl, love was the most important thing.
No one mattered more than her dear boyfriend.
I only ever believed in myself, and I didn't want to waste my time and energy on anyone else.
