Chapter 829 Rumors

At this moment, Isaac led Whitney to the quiet, deserted end of the corridor before handing over the documents he was holding. "This is the document Mr. Newton requested I deliver to you. He asks that you compose a summary and send it to his email before the end of your workday."

Feeling the weight of the files in her hand, Whitney nodded. "Okay, I'll start on it. But, what's wrong with you?"

She noticed the pallor on Isaac's face.

Isaac appeared somewhat awkward, cleared his throat to conceal his embarrassment, and replied, "I caught a cold last night... If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way now."

As she watched him hastily depart, a flurry of questions filled Whitney's mind.

What's going on?

Unaware that she had become the subject of conversation throughout the entire logistics department, Whitney remained puzzled by Isaac's situation.

Upon her return to her desk, she couldn't shake off the feeling that her colleagues in the logistics department were casting peculiar glances in her direction.

Nonetheless, Whitney had no intention of getting drawn into the office gossip. Since her arrival in the logistics department, it had seemed like the idle chatter never ceased. She decided to concentrate on completing the task Charles had assigned her first.

As the afternoon wore on, she ultimately completed the reading of all the documents. She then organized them into a single file and promptly sent it off to Charles.

Several days passed in this manner, and each day, Charles would provide new documents for her to organize, with Isaac handling their delivery.

Whitney gradually gained more experience in her job, and rumors slowly began circulating within the company.

One day, Whitney felt a slight discomfort in her stomach and hastily rushed to the

bathroom.

She had barely settled into a restroom stall when, without delay, a few discordant voices echoed from outside the door.

"You've all probably heard the recent rumors going around the company, haven't you? That intern from the logistics department is truly remarkable. She hasn't been here for long, and

yet she's already made an impression on Mr. Turner."

"Exactly. Mr. Turner is a well-respected figure, one of Mr. Newton's top assistants. With his support, she can certainly hold her head high."

"If I recall correctly, she's a pretty girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, isn't she? She's quite charming, but who would've guessed she'd be such a despicable person? It's indeed a sign of the times. If you're good-looking, you can do anything you want."

"All right, that's enough. Remember, walls have ears. Some things are better kept to ourselves. If this reaches Mr. Newton's ears, we could be in serious trouble."

They continued their conversation as they left. After a considerable amount of time, Whitney finally emerged from the bathroom, her face wearing a gloomy expression.

I can't believe the rumors in the company have already spread to this extent.

She had been preoccupied with the tasks Charles had assigned to her recently, leaving her with little time to delve into office gossip. However, she never expected the situation to escalate to the point where even employees from other departments were discussing it.

Upon returning to the logistics department, Whitney was promptly summoned by the department chief.

Queenie closed the office door and lowered the blinds, staring at Whitney with a serious expression.

"You must have heard the recent rumors circulating throughout the company, haven't you? Are you aware of the potential consequences these rumors could have on you? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Queenie had climbed her way up from the bottom, experiencing numerous situations, both positive and negative. She didn't want Whitney to become embroiled in these trivial conflicts. and firmly believed that, given Whitney's abilities, her potential exceeded what she could. currently achieve.

Meeting Queenie's inquisitive gaze. Whitney nodded. "I understand, Ms. Zeller."

"Since you understand, why did you allow these people to exaggerate and embellish the rumor? You still have half a month left in your internship. Do you really wish to continue working at this company or not?" Queenie expressed her frustration and disappointment.

Initially, Queenie had assumed that Whitney had intentionally allowed this matter to escalate to such an extent.

With a wry smile, Whitney shrugged helplessly. "Ms. Zeller, Mr. Turner and I are just regular colleagues. But do you think anyone will believe that?"

After all, it's easy to replace a stick to beat a dog with. Since explanations were proving to be my vain, she chose not to dwell on these futile matters.

Whitney spoke with a calm and composed expression, her conscience clear.

"Okay, you may go now. Try to minimize your interactions with Mr. Turner for work matters recently to avoid giving people more to talk about," Queenie advised. After thanking Queenie, Whitney left the office.

Just then. Isaac approached, holding a stack of documents, likely new tasks assigned by

Charles.

Whitney made her way over to Isaac resignedly.

As the days passed, it was soon time for Whitney's internship evaluation. Successfully passing this assessment would allow her to continue working at Newton Group as she desired. Queenie served as the evaluator that day, joined by leaders from other departments. Coincidentally, Isaac was also in attendance.

The written examination materials were given to Whitney. Under the watchful gaze of the four evaluators, she began to provide her answers.

Twenty minutes later, Whitney submitted her test paper, exhaling a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she had made a strategic move the previous night, thoroughly acquainting herself with all the company's details, which had perfectly prepared her for the questions. posed today. Following the written exam, the interview phase commenced. Each of the four evaluators posed challenging questions, and Whitney responded to them all with ease.

In the top-floor office of Newton Group, Charles gazed at the monitor, watching the confident woman on the screen, unable to contain a faint smile that tugged at the corner of his lips.

During this period, Whitney has grown significantly. From a novice junior employee, she has transformed into a confident and competent professional. It appears that she is more than capable of securing her place in the company.

After Whitney answered everyone's questions, Isaac stood up, extended his hand toward her, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on becoming a member of Newton Group. Welcome to our team. I hope we can collaborate to generate even greater benefits for the company."

I've passed!

A joyful expression spread across Whitney's face, her voice filled with excitement. "I will certainly put in my best effort! Thank you for this opportunity!"

Even though she was fully prepared for this moment, she couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled when it finally arrived.

Exiting the meeting room, Whitney took the initiative to halt Queenie and offered her a deep bow as a sign of respect and gratitude. "Ms. Zeller, I want to express my gratitude for your guidance during this period. Without your step-by-step assistance, I wouldn't have completed my internship so successfully."

In response, Queenie patted her on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to thank anyone. Your successful completion of your internship is a result of your own efforts. Now that you're a full-fledged employee of the company, keep up the good work."

"Yes. Ms. Zeller! I will definitely work hard!"

From a distance, Lana observed the joy on Whitney's face, and it filled her with resentment, causing her to grit her teeth.

I never expected that despite everything I did behind the scenes, this woman still managed to successfully complete her probationary period. No, I can't stop here. The situation hasn't escalated enough. I need to ensure that Whitney can no longer hold her head high in the company. Only then can I completely shatter her spirit and pride.

Making up her mind, Lana stomped off into the distance.

As a full-time employee, Whitney's entire demeanor grew more radiant. She arrived at work. each day in high spirits.

Fortune and misfortune are often intertwined. When one is experiencing extreme success. calamity often follows closely behind.

News about her and Isaac was buzzing all around and also reached Charles' ears.
