Spontaneous Marriage

Chapter 21: Only I Can Protect You

Chapter 21: Only I Can Protect YouThere was no one in the video at this moment. After a while, Martina King came back at about half past six. She opened the door, looked for something in her office for a while, and then entered the tea room. When she came out, she bent down and tried to find something on the floor. Nearly seven o'clock, she left angrily with her handbag.

The video was almost over. After turning off the screen, everyone looked at Rebecca Bell, who was standing aside.

"What else do you have to say now?" Martina King said in a cold voice, "I'll give you two choices now. A: you hand over the things; B: I call the police. Our company can't afford to hire someone like you who has sticky fingers."

"How can I take it if I didn't steal it?" Rebecca Bell was a little angry, but she felt more aggrieved. If she admitted the slander for stealing, which else the company would dare to hire her in the future?

Angela Lewis couldn't bear it and advised, "Martina, Rebecca Bell is not like this kind of person. And she was the last one to get off work. It seemed that she was waiting for Mr. Johnson. Why don't we wait until Mr. Johnson comes back..."

"Is there something wrong with you?" Martina King said angrily, "Just because she has an affair with Chairman Johnson, you guys would kneel and suck up to her? Now the evidence is there and you have seen the video. Who else can be the thief other than her?!" After that, she looked at Rebecca Bell and said, "Rebecca Bell, you have hooked up with Mr. Johnson, why are you still coveting my little thing which is only worth tens of thousands of yuan? I am only a common employee. I worked hard for a few years and saved for a watch to reward myself. You are too vain to see others become better. Please stay away from me. I didn't offend you."

Martina King's words were mean. However, no matter how open everything was, Rebecca Bell would be the first one to be suspected. Even though there was no direct evidence showing that Rebecca was the thief, Martina King insisted that she was the criminal.

All of a sudden, the office quieted down. Because on one hand Rebecca Bell had a relationship with Mr. Johnson, on the other Martina King was the secretary. It was impossible to favor only one out of both. Even the several security guards broke out in a cold sweat. No matter how the matte will be dealt with, the result would not satisfy both sides. The only way was to find the watch.

At this moment, the elevator opened. In a distance, a suspicious and soft female voice came from outside the crowd. "What happened?"

The crowd looked over and saw a beautiful woman in an elegant long dress coming gracefully. Behind her was a handsome man with delicate facial characters. The man frowned when he noticed Rebecca Bell with a pale face in the crowd.

"Why are you gathering here?" The beautiful woman asked, puzzled.

When Martina King saw the visitor, she was surprised at first, then she glared at Rebecca Bell fiercely and said, "Hello Mrs. President. What are doing here?"

Paula Reyes smiled gently and answered, "I'm free today. I come here to have a look. You are..."

Martina King sighed and said in an aggrieved tone, "I shouldn't have mentioned such a trifle which may affect your mood. However, I felt wronged. Yesterday, my watch was missing. Although it wasn't expensive, it was worth tens of thousands. If it was a little cheaper, I would have pretended nothing had happened. However, it was so expensive that I bought it with real money. I couldn't afford to lose it, so I wanted to get it back. I was not intended to make the office be in a mess. It's all my fault."

"You're the victim. What's wrong with you? It's right to find your missing watch. Was it lost in the company?"

"Yes, in the office..." Martina King bit her lip and looked at Rebecca Bell to imply something.

Paula Reyes also looked at Rebecca Bell and raised her eyebrows. "She?"

Martina King didn't nod or shake her head. She just timidly looked at Luis Johnson behind Paula Reyes with a hesitant expression on her face.

Martina King was introduced to the Johnson Group by Paula Reyes, which was known to almost all the old employees in the General Manager's Office. Now, it was getting awkward.

Martina King had lost her watch. Even if it had been picked up by Rebecca Bell, she would only be accused by not reporting her picking up a lost thing. However, before she could describe the whole thing, she was accused of stealing. Stealing and picking up things were different.

But even if people found the trap in her words, no one would say a word. It was obvious that there was something fishy about it. Staying out of it was the best strategy for self-protection.

Among the crowd, Rebecca Bell was the only one who lowered her head and clenched her fists. Her thin shoulders were trembling slightly.

"Is it really necessary?" She thought.

She was just an employee. To drive her away, did they have to put on such a big show? She had worked in the general manager's office for three years and had never seen Miss Reyes before. However, she came here at this time! Martina King's words were harsh and sharp. She was wronged by Martina King as a thief, in every sentence of her words, as if she wanted to crush her self-esteem! And Luis Johnson was indifferent. Till now, he had been silent, which undoubtedly showed his attitude. This was revenge. This was what he said that she would regret.

No other companies would accept such an employee who had been fired by the Johnson Group because of stealing. Would her career be influenced by this matter or some people she shouldn't have provoked? Would her future be completely ruined? Was this what they wanted? What had she done wrong? Why were they so vicious?
