The next day, as soon as Natalie arrived at the office, the colleague sitting opposite to her suddenly winked at her. “Did you hear? Pamela was demoted and transferred to an insignificant department.”

Natalie cocked her head to the side slightly. After a short pause, she asked, “Was it Mr. Lyman’s doing?”

“Of course! You can’t just spread a rumor about your superior. In fact, I think Mr. Lyman actually showed her mercy. At least he didn’t fire her. But I have a feeling that Pamela won’t be staying with the Larson Group for very long,” the colleague said in a sing-song voice.

Natalie smiled slightly. She figured that the real reason why Ike didn’t notify the authorities was because the matter would also smear his name.

“Quinn, I think you did well. Pamela isn’t that capable a worker, but she can get really jealous. She was always stirring up trouble and trying to put her other colleagues down. Now that she’s gone, I think our department will be more peaceful.”

Another colleague handed a little pastry to Natalie and patted her on the shoulder. “I support what you did. You were so brave yesterday.”

A faint, warm smile pulled at the corners of Natalie’s lips.

Ever since Ike was forced to clarify his relationship with Natalie in public, he had stopped calling her into his office every now and then, or hitting on her like before.

Natalie felt that he had probably given up and was gradually relieved about it.

It was Saturday tomorrow, and she was looking forward to it. She had planned to buy some fruits and visit Hannah after work.

Hannah’s condition had stabilized ever since she was transferred to another hospital.

As soon as Natalie turned off her computer, Ike called her from behind.
