Wooing My Ex-Wife

Knowing that Charles was merely giving him a chance to defuse the tension, Isaac said, “It’s Whitney’s first day at work today, so I think she can be excused for not knowing the rules around here. We’ll decide if we should fire her after her probation period.”

Charles’ expression eased up right away. “Since you’re interceding on her behalf, this should serve as a warning. If I ever catch her slacking again, she’ll be fired.”

“Noted.” Isaac lowered his head slightly. Seeing that Whitney was remaining silent, he shot her a look and reminded her, “Please thank Mr. Newton!”

“Thank you, Mr. Newton.” Whitney bowed.

Charles stared at her sternly before turning around to leave.

The employees breathed a sigh of relief after Isaac and Charles entered the elevator.

At that point, Lana was sobbing and wiping her tears away with a piece of tissue.

Those who were close to her went up to console her hurriedly.

Lana sobbed and protested, “This is all your fault, Whitney! Why did you ask me so many questions? Because of you, I was lectured by Mr. Newton and almost lost my job! The company is surely deducting my salary because of this incident. Mr. Newton now has a bad impression of me!”

Whitney felt remorseful because she knew it was her fault. “I’m sorry. If your salary gets deducted, I’ll compensate you with the money I get from my internship next month.”

Lana felt slightly better. However, she thought Whitney was a pushover and refused to let the matter slide. “How about the lecture I got from Mr. Newton? I suffered mentally. How are you going to make it up to me? Do you think you’re better than everyone else because Isaac sided with you?”

Whitney just turned around and sat at her desk. Instead of arguing, she continued working.

Lana became angrier when Whitney ignored her. “What’s with your attitude? I was answering your questions out of kindness, and I got scolded as a consequence. Did you think you could solve the problem with your insincere apology?”

Whitney heaved a sigh in response. I apologized to her sincerely, but she thought otherwise. There’s no point in explaining myself further.

Whitney’s silent treatment infuriated the group of employees on Lana’s side.

Hence, they started making assumptions about her publicly.
