Chapter 31 Caught Red-Handed, What's Your Explanation
"You thief!" With Bella's cooperation, Laura immediately began to arrogantly scold, "Our company, JK, is a highly reputable fashion design company. None of our employees have a habit of stealing or pilfering."
"I never expected Ms. Devereux to violate the rules of our company, JK?"
"We do not welcome thieves like you." Laura smugly continued to berate with strong words.
It seemed as if Violet really was a thief.
But she wasn't at all.
Of course, Violet wasn't a pushover either. The experience the Devereux family gave her a year ago taught her that if someone mistreats you, you mustn't allow yourself to be easily bullied. Otherwise, things might escalate and become even worse for her.
She couldn't let that happen.
"I didn't steal. I don't know why Bella suddenly changed her stance. When I came here, she was the one who called me to hand you over," Violet calmly stated.
There was not even the slightest bit of fear or embarrassment as if caught in the act.
This demeanor, any perceptive person could tell that she wasn't a thief.
If she truly was, she would have been ashamed and run away long ago.
How could someone have such a shameless face and still refuse to admit it?
Therefore, her firm explanation made Bella's face become somewhat embarrassed.
"You...you're lying...I didn't tell you to hand it over to Laura," Bella, around the same age as Violet, had just graduated from university and was interning.
But she didn't have as tragic an experience as Violet.
She already had a strong mindset.
So, when Violet acted so assertively, Bella became somewhat craven.
Her eyes kept looking towards Laura on the side, hoping that she would quickly help by speaking up.
Receiving Violet's signal, Laura calmly said, "Caught red-handed, what's your explanation?"
Violet immediately laughed coldly in her heart.
She knew she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
She pursed her lips and said, "I'm not lying. Just take a look at the surveillance footage and you'll know."
"Surveillance footage?" Laura laughed, "It's surprising that you have the audacity to bring up surveillance. Don't you know that the surveillance on the front desk side broke this morning? The technician to fix the surveillance hasn't arrived yet."
Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Oh, you didn't come this morning."
The surveillance broke?
Violet was stunned. She hadn't thought about this.
She always assumed that the surveillance on the front desk side was functioning properly.
"See, you can't defend yourself, can you?" Laura slowly started laughing and then turned to the HR manager in the crowd, "Natalie, according to our company's hiring standards, shouldn't we immediately terminate an employee with such dishonest stealing habits?"
Natalie was more rational. She didn't think Violet looked like someone who would steal. After all, no one would steal a colleague's package and boldly place it on their own desk, right?
That would be foolish.
Natalie glanced at the composed Violet and said, "I'll report this to Mr. Green before making any decisions."
"Natalie...you should..."
"Wouldn't you stand up for her?" Laura didn't want to wait for Max to come and dismiss Violet again. After all, this little vixen is very skilled at seducing men. What if Mr. Green gets deceived by her sweet words? How can she get rid of this vixen, Violet? (Sense)
"How could I stand up for her?" Natalie was speechless. She handles her job in a procedural manner! Don't staff dismissals need to be reported to the boss? If everything is left up to her, what's the point of having Mr. Green?
"If you don't stand up for her, shouldn't you immediately fire her?" Laura demanded aggressively. "Keeping a thief like her, are you trying to harm our company or lower our reputation?"
"On this matter...I will report to Mr. Green immediately." Natalie was pushed to the point where she had no choice but to call Max.
Natalie dialed Max's number while holding her phone.
The call hadn't been made yet before a clear and composed male voice came from the front desk, "She didn't take it."
Upon hearing this sudden voice, everyone turned around.
It was actually Aiden???
The young president of the White family?
Aiden had previous dealings with the JK’s.
Most of JK's designers knew him.
So as soon as he appeared, he immediately caught everyone's attention.
Although Aiden was average-looking and lean, he was, after all, from the wealthy White family in New York.
Even a casual outfit of his was worth tens of thousands.
His watch alone cost millions.
Many women dreamed of marrying into such a wealthy family, so regardless of whether he was handsome or not, all the female designers' eyes lit up when they saw him.
Compared to the incredibly handsome and tall Mr. Hall here, Mr. White fell far short, but for these lower-level designers, a president with average looks was easier to approach.
Mr. Hall was like a god.
He could only be admired from afar and not desecrated.
They didn't even need to think about it.
"White... Mr. White... Why are you here?" One of the female designers who had previously discussed business with Aiden was the first to break the surrounding astonishment and silence.
She moved her slender waist and walked towards Aiden with a charming smile. "Mr. White... You really haven't been to our JK for almost half a year."
Aiden glanced at the female designer who was smiling at him but had no interest in dealing with her.
With a sweep of his gaze, he ignored her and turned to look at the beautiful Violet, hooking his lips and saying, "I say... Is this the quality of your JK? Bullying a newcomer?"
"Mr. White... That's not... We were just handling personal matters!" The female designer flattered and smiled.
"No?" Aiden took slow steps as he walked inside. "Then why does it seem like you've been ganging up on Ms. Devereux all this time?"
"Mr. White, she stole my package." Laura, upon seeing him approach, continued her vilification.
