The Ex and Her Riches

Amidst the shrieks in the air, many of the panicking women jumped onto their chairs.

“Quick, get it! It’s running over there!”

“Guys, man up and get rid of it!”

The men in the logistics department were pressured into catching the rat.

However, it wasn’t a surprise that those who were used to city life didn’t know how to catch a rat at all, especially one that was so agile.

As screams continued to ring out in the air, the rat ran in between some of the men’s legs.

Terrified by the sight, they turned toward Whitney and pleaded for help.

“Hurry up and catch it! Otherwise, the chaos in the logistics department would turn us into a laughing stock in the entire company!”

“Exactly! The rat came from your drawer, there’s no way you can turn a blind eye to it!”

Arms folded, Whitney simply watched the drama in silence.

She maintained an indifferent look despite being called out to do something.

“As I have just said, I’m letting the rat track down the person who brought it in. If no one owns up to it, this mess, however big it becomes, will be her responsibility.”

Finally, someone couldn’t bear the pressure from the rat any longer.

“I know who put it in your drawer. Catch it quickly and I’ll tell you.”

Nevertheless, Whitney’s mind was sharp as a knife. “Tell me first. Only then will I catch it.”

The young girl subsequently stood up and pointed at Lana. “It’s—”

“Why are you pointing at me? Are you trying to make baseless accusations? You have no right to speak here!”
