“Thank you,” she said politely. Lily was confident that she had done her job well, and there was no need to be modest about it.
Jenny smiled when she saw Lily‘s confident expression. She leaned against the lockers and turned to face her, “Honestly, I thought you were the one who had plagiarized MN Inc.’s work.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLily raised an eyebrow, unsure how to react to Jenny‘s comment. When they first met, she knew of Jenny‘s untrust and disdain toward her. The way Jenny looked at her was so obvious, She practically had the words “You‘re a plagiarizing thief!” inked across her forehead.
Lily did not bother explaining herself because words could only do so much when others already had certain assumptions about her character. She could only prove herself through her capabilities and dispel those rumors with time.
Jenny noticed Lily remaining silent and continued, “After all, Melanie Thayer was quite well known in our industry. She was a dark horse that won numerous awards. Besides, most consider MN Inc. one of the stronger companies due to Melanie‘s award–winning products, Tellingto trust a nobody like you was far–fetched.”
Jenny continued to laugh light–heartedly. This time, her laughter was sincere and did not contain any mockery, only relief. “That‘s it? So, why would you trustnow? What if I was really the one who plagiarized Melanie‘s work?” Lily tilted her head to the side while looking back at Jenny.
Jenny laughed loudly, “If you‘re the actual thief, then all I can say is ‘what a shame!‘ You can do so much more with your abilities and talent. Why even plagiarize the work of others when you‘re already so good? Besides, I believe you‘d never do something like that.” Jenny‘s reassurance and unfaltering gaze made Lily feel warm inside. “Thank you,” Lily meant it sincerely this time. Both women did not
have a very close relationship from their first hostile encounter. However, Jenny‘s newfound unfaltering trust and sincerity touched Lily.
Jenny patted Lily on her shoulder. “I heard your chance of winning this lawsuit is low, but judging from the phone call you had just now, I‘m sure you‘ll be able to pull through. Don‘t be afraid. Something that isn‘t true could never win.”
“Yeah.” Lily nodded and grabbed her handbag and cell phone from her locker.

Lily smiled, “Of course!” “Let‘s go! I need all the rest I can get after finishing this project.” Jenny put her arm around Lily‘s shoulder, and the duo exited the building together. “Do you typically take a cab to work? Isn‘t that annoying? Why don‘t I give you a ride home?” Lily shook her head, “It‘s all right.” “Why are you being shy now? Is this because of our previous feud?” Jenny asked.
“Not at all. You‘re responsible for the team as the manager, and I understand you‘d have to be strict,” Lily clarified.
“Then, what‘s the problem? Does my car creep you out, or do you actually prefer taking a cab?” Jenny inquired curiously.
Lily could not help but laugh at Jenny‘s silly remark, “No, it‘s just that someone‘s coming to pickup. Thank you for your offer, though.” “Ahh a boyfriend, huh?” Jenny smirked playfully
