Chapter 73 Jealousy of Colleagues

(Sofiina's POV)
I've almost started praying to God that my paycheck will be slightly higher this month, but of course, it's all because I've got my eye on a new bag.
I think this life will probably go on forever, but I seem to have been very lucky compared to those who don't even have a job, so I rarely complain about that.
My only thought now is to make money and find a boyfriend.
Boyfriends are only looking for Jerry.
I've been working at Hill Group for three years now. When I first started, I could tell that Jerry was different from the others.
As for why exactly it is different, I honestly can't describe it, I just feel that the atmosphere between us is very fantastic.
I like him a lot.
Jerry seems to have such feelings for me, except that I have been waiting for him to take the initiative, but I did not expect that this wait would be straightforward for five years.
My BFF Emily had warned me about this a long time ago. She said that since I liked Jerry, I'd better just tell him what I thought.
It is not a shame to pursue someone you like.
But if Jerry liked me too, why didn't he come in and confess his love for me?
I always thought that if I waited long enough, one day Jerry would come over to me on his own accord, but I didn't expect someone to appear who would spoil my day before that happened.
I never thought that one day I would be so interested in the affairs of Mr. Raphael.
After all, I was warned on my first day of employment not to hit on Mr. Raphael. Of course, I never thought I could be with Mr. Raphael.
Mr. Rafael has never been open about his relationship with the public.
And during these three years, I have heard all the things that have been said about Mr. Raphael. Of course the authenticity of these things I do not know, I only know that there are many versions. For example, why Mr. Raphael did not marry a child, or that Mr. Raphael has been married, and her mysterious fiancée, in the end, did something.
All these I heard from others. As for whether it's true, I don't care at all, but just a few days ago, a mysterious person suddenly came inside the company.
Originally, this matter and I also have nothing to do, but I heard from others that the woman is the wife of Mr. Raphael.
Once again, there are some ripples inside the company.
"Oh my God! That's terrible!"
"Is that really what you think?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure, but that woman is certainly not a nice guy."
I would always hear such conversations. Only the women they discuss themselves are not clear to me.
Until one day my good friend Debbie talked to me about it with great interest.
"Honey, did you know that something really big happened at the company recently?"
I don't think we both understand the word significant in the same way.
"What is it?"
"Mr. Raphael's wife has returned!"
It was only at this time that those once remarks suddenly took shape inside my head.
"So what do these things have to do with me?"
"It doesn't matter. I just felt surprised."
I know that they love to gossip, and their curiosity is always high when it comes to characters like Mr. Rafael.
Of course, I didn't pay much attention to the follow-up.
But even if I don't pay attention, I've heard a lot of talk about it.
Debbie told me that Rafael's wife had been gone for five years. And during that time, Mr. Raphael had been looking for her.
Only, such a search does not seem to be fruitful.
At first, everyone could not believe that Mr. Rafael was looking for such an ordinary girl.
But that is the reality and everyone wonders which bit of her Mr. Rafael is fascinated by.
This is truly amazing.
Only, I understand this phenomenon, it is very normal.
Every person will meet someone they like very much. As for why they like it, sometimes even they can't say why.
For the outside world speculation and non-sense, their relationship can persist, it would have been very difficult.
I don't care how touching their relationship is, or if it's as bad as others make it out to be.
I'm not even handling my own business.
Soon, however, such a situation changed.
Because that woman came to my department.
She is indeed very beautiful, and at first glance, I was stunned.
God is very unfair, however, I am not jealous of her beauty, what makes me jealous is the expression Jerry showed when he saw Lena for the first time.
Probably every man would be fascinated by her.
Lena's arrival made our whole department's relationship a little strange.
She may not even realize that many people have unknowingly fallen in love with her.
But a lot of people started to hate her, too. I hated her just as much.
Lena is too good, she is not only beautiful but also very smart, in addition, she is also very friendly and willing to help others.
Everyone here has been helped by her.
But not everyone likes her that way.
Because we noticed that some men's eyes kept on Lena's body.
Their eyes seem to have been glued on.
I think it's laughable to see men like that. Jerry just doesn't behave like them.
I could certainly condone him. But soon I heard a conversation among the men.
"This whole thing was thanks to Lena, and without her help, I think I might not have been able to handle my job so quickly. Thank God that she came to my side."
"Sam, you sound so disgusting, like you're in love with Lena."
Sam did not get angry after hearing such a comment, he laughed instead.
"Come on! Don't you want Lena to be your girlfriend?" Sam turned his head to look around, he didn't notice anyone listening to him.
I didn't mean to do it.
Then Sam turned his head back to his colleague in front of him: "Kevin, you know, I suspect that Lena and Mr. Raphael may have been long gone, otherwise why else would she have come here?"
"Oh, Sam, you're already dreaming!" Kevin heard such a statement and he had started screaming.
"Hey! Kevin, keep your volume down!" The colleague next to him reminded him patiently.
Kevin nodded, then he looked over at Sam and said with a serious look on his face, "Put away your thoughts, lad, if they're still married, you're going to die a horrible death."
"I know, I don't like her, do you understand?"
"You seem to have an unusual affection for her."
"It's Jerry! Last time we drank, it was all Jerry's idea!" Sam protested.
"Come on, man, you're always pushing your ideas off on others." Although Kevin retorted Sam, my mood tensed up.
Whether Sam is lying or not, I'm not sure, but one thing I can be sure of is that Jerry's feelings for Lena are certainly not simple.
Since then, I've been watching them both.
Lena does not have that kind of feeling for Jerry, but the interaction between the two of them is just too frequent.
Lena would always ask Jerry questions, and Jerry didn't hate her for doing so.
This incident gradually made me change my mind about Lena.
I told Debbie all my concerns, and Debbie told me that Lena was not as simple as I thought.
"Honey, do you know what they say? Lena had an affair with another man and they slept together, but in the end, Mr. Rafael married her anyway."
I was just shocked and angry at first, and by the end, I calmed down.
I had to protect Jerry.
Lena wanted to hurt Jerry.
I found Sam and asked him about Jerry: "Sam, does Jerry really like Lena?"
Sam looked at me very warily: "Who did you hear that from?"
"You."
"My God, seriously, you shouldn't have come to ask me, Sophina, you could have just asked Jerry."
"I know, Sam, you're also new to the company, and there are things you don't understand."
I told Sam everything I had heard about Lena, and Sam was shocked to hear it. He couldn't believe that it was true.
I pretended to be very concerned about them and talked to each of them about these things.
They didn't know enough about Lena, but everyone should know what a shameless woman Lena is.
My actions were soon rewarded.
All of them no longer care about Lena as much as they used to.
But the people I wanted to change the most didn't change.
Jerry did not believe anything that was said about the outside world.
He would even defend Lena and had a big fight with a colleague over these things before.
I grew to hate Lena more and more, and I even started to talk about these things on my social media sites.
My friends were concerned about me, they were worried about my status, and I told them it was okay.
I won't let Lena off the hook this easily.
It's amazing how easily she would take away something I like.
I began to target her at every point in my life, and she had a good temper, which on the contrary, I did not expect.
However, I didn't choose to give up just because Lena backed down.
If I was a little hesitant at the beginning, I am now very determined.
I must get rid of Lena.
This state lasted for a few days, but Jerry became more and more concerned about Lena.
There was even Mr. William to help Lena out.
I thought I was going to lose, but then, suddenly, one day, I found a private message on my social media app.
