Chapter: 492
The people entering and exiting the Sj Entertainment building were mostly Ariana’s co-workers, so it
was highly likely that today’s prank story had spread throughout the company. There was a gossip chat
group among the employees and Ariana was secretly invited into the chat group by Betsy. Just that
afternoon, Ariana had discovered many different versions of her matter.
Some people said she was the mistress of a rich man, and some said she was the one who bought all
those things to make herself famous. This whole matter was getting more and more ridiculous.
Seeing the looks her colleagues were giving her and the way they whispered when they saw her,
Ariana couldn’t help but curse Theodore again in her heart. He was really annoying. Who on earth told
him that was the proper way to win a girl’s heart?
“Hey, isn’t this the lady everyone’s been talking about today?”
As Ariana was lost in thought, a strange female voice dripping with sarcasm came from behind her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe tumed around and saw several female colleagues. These women had a grudge against Ariana
from the first day she joined the company. The one who led the group was called Lyla. Lyla was a
mean-looking woman with an oval face.
“No wonder she was able to help Sarah regain popularity. It’s not that she’s good at her job; she just
has a rich boyfriend,” Lyla sneered, laughing like she was crazy.
After a short pause, she said directly to Ariana, “Why don’t you bring your rich boyfriend here? Or is he
so old you’re embarrassed to be seen with him?”
Ariana frowned and looked coldly at Lyla. “Are we close to each other? Stop giving orders here. My
private life is none of your business. You’d better mind your own business.”
Lyla felt terribly embarrassed and annoyed by what Ariana said. She indeed had no right to interfere in
Ariana’s affairs. The thing was, she couldn’t stand the newcomer getting all the attention, so she did
her best to suppress Ariana.
“| just want to remind you that as a newcomer in the company, you should know your role and stay in
your place. Don’t act in a too high-profile manner. You had flowers and diamonds delivered to you here
so everyone would see it! Was it to make sure everyone here knows you have a sugar daddy?” Lyla
said coldly, glaring at Ariana. There was a lot of resentment in her voice.
Lyla had money and her uncle was a department director of SJ Entertainment. So usually everyone
supported her and listened to her in the office. It annoyed her so much when people didn’t know their
status, especially when a newcomer didn’t treat her with respect as a senior employee. Now, Ariana
went further and even confronted her directly.
With a smirk, Lyla added, “He’s probably an old man anyways. Who else would use such antiquated
tricks to woo a woman? I have to admit, this is the first time I’ve seen a man do so much for his
mistress.”
All day, Ariana didn’t say anything about what happened today. She didn’t know why on earth these
people kept thinking of her as a mistress.
But it didn’t matter. After all, they were just her colleagues and their opinion didn’t matter at all. With a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsmile, Ariana nodded and said calmly, “You say he’s old and his dating tricks are outdated, right? I will
make sure to let him know.”
She then directly pushed Lyla and other women out of her way and left.
Gritting her teeth in anger, Lyla watched Ariana leave.
“Lyla, did she just threaten you?” a round-faced, younger-looking girl who was standing aside the whole
time, asked cautiously.
“L really don’t know why this bitch is so complacent. Even if she got herself a rich lover, there’s no way
her lover could interfere in our company’s matters, right?” someone else said.
“Hey, check that out! Look at the luxury car over there.”
The shouts and exclamations of the passers-by drew Lyla’s attention. She looked up and saw a
Lamborghini parked not far away. It was the latest model, and was a limited edition.
“Wow! Wait, am I dreaming or is Ariana walking toward the luxury car? Did that car come to pick her
up?”
“I think so. Speaking of which, I remember I often saw a black Rolls-Royce that came to pick up Ariana
after work.
