Once the three senior designers saw the sullen look on Janet’s face, they quickly went back to their respective desks and
pretended like they hadn’t been gossiping a while back.
"It’s almost as if they think their job here is to gossip.They are always chatting incessantly.This time, they have gone too far.More
than anything, I’m sure you are relying on your strength here.How could they say such a thing? Humph!"
Gerda stared at them angrily.
She felt bad for Jand wished she could give the rumormongers a tongue -lashing. But on the other hand, Jwasn’t that
angry.
This wasn’t the first tshe was hearing such a rumor, so she had developed a thick skin over time.
"It doesn’t matter, Gerda.Leave them.Please don’t get yourself into trouble because of me.When Pamela spread false rumors
aboutin the past, I retorted because I caught her red-handed."Jturned on the computer and began to work.
Staring at the design drawings, she added, "None of them dares to gossip aboutin my presence.They always backbite.I don’t
take such people seriously.If they are bold enough, they will say it to my face."
"Does this mean you will allow them to continue gossiping about you? Won’t you take any action against them?"
Gerda was amazed by Janet’s nonchalance despite the severity of the matter.
"Hmm!" Jsighed.
She stood up from her seat and looked at her colleagues.
"A clear conscience fears no so I’m not bothered at all.Only those who are up to no good should be bothered!"

Jdidn’t have tfor any frivolities.She wanted to invest most of her tand energy into the upcoming spring fashion
week.
It was very important to her.
However, things didn’t go as she had planned.
Most of her colleagues turned against her.

They always looked at her strangely and gave her the cold shoulder.
Jalso noticed that they gossiped about her more frequently.
They did very little to hide their distaste for her, so it was difficult for her to ignore them.
This was different from the last twhen Pamela spread rumors about Jsleeping with her direct superior, where she could
easily prove herself.
This time, she found it hard to properly deal with it.She didn’t know whether to shut down the rumor or just ignore it.
All she knew was that it was said that a designer whose surnis Lind had an affair with a senior executive of the Larson
Group.
Janet’s nwasn’t specifically mentioned, so it would be awkward if she confronted the rumormongers.
They would think she decided to shut down the rumor because her guilty conscience was eating her up.
In a state of confusion, Jdecided to speak to Tiffany after much hesitation.
"Ms.Fisher, you have heard of the recent rumor, right?"
"Yes, I have.Is it true?"
Tiffany responded and asked her naturally.She had her customary smile on at this moment.
"Of course not!"

Jinstantly looked aggrieved and helpless after answering sharply.
"Cheer up, Janet.Since the rumor isn’t true, I advise that you turn a deaf ear to everything they are saying.Focus on your
work.Make sure your designs are selected for the first show.Your success will be a good response to all your haters.It will also
prove that you are innocent of the accusations."
Tiffany put down the documents and patted the back of Janet’s hand.
After pursing her lips, she continued, "You had better invest the tyou are using to think about that rumor on the design
drawings instead.Thinking will get you nowhere.But designing will shoot you to the peak of your career in no time.Everyone’s

eyes are on you.Most of them are earnestly waiting for your downfall.I want you to put all of them to shame!"
The powerful glint in Tiffany’s eyes pierced through Janet’s soul.
Those words also reset her brain.
At that moment, a strange feeling enveloped her.
The worry in her heart was immediately replaced with the zeal to strive and get out of the dark land of thorns she was trapped
in.She wanted to move to the bright light that was shining ahead.

Meanwhile, the outrageous rumor got to Ethan’s ears.
And he was displeased, to say the least.He immediately ordered Garrett to investigate the source of the rumor.
"I have tried everything, but my efforts proved abortive.Even after interrogating many of the employees in the design department,
I couldn’t get tangible information that will lead to the source.They all heard it from rumormongers.The source remains
unknown.It’s like a never-ending circle!" Garrett revealed helplessly.
His inability to find out the source of the rumor made him more curious.
"The originator of this rumor is an employee in the company.How is it possible that the person is untraceable?"
Conflicting emotions swirled in Ethan’s dark eyes.
All of a sudden, he narrowed his eyes and said, "You know what? Stop the investigation for now.Don’t alert the enemy.If the
culprit finds out about the investigation, he or she will becextra cautious."
