Stella went to get the sales manager to sign off on the exit form, and the manager immediately pulled her aside.
“Do you know that person just now?” The manager asked cautiously, as if afraid of triggering some mechanism.
“We’re not close, we’ve met a few times. I only sought his help because the situation was urgent. I’m sorry. I almost disrupted your meeting.”
Stella still worried that this matter would involve Nathaniel, so she said she wasn’t familiar with Nathaniel.
“What are you hiding from me. What can’t you say?”
“We really aren’t familiar,” Stella said firmly.
The manager’s expression clearly turned contemptuous, as if Stella had deliberately excluded her from networking.
“Sign it. The hotel is busy today, I can only give you half an hour to leave.”
With a flick of the document, the manager left.
Stella felt inexplicably confused. If she had connections, would she need to endure such humiliation?

Holding the list, Stella returned to the banquet hall. Sandra
had already left, and Stella could only help to take down the decorations.

Returning to the company, Stella noticeably felt that her colleagues were not as enthusiastic towards her as they were in. the morning. They even seemed to be avoiding her.
Sandra sipped her coffee leisurely, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.
Stella sat back at her desk in confusion. She looked at Christina and whispered, “Christina, what happened?”
Christina pursed her lips, shaking her head without saying a word. She didn’t even dare to look at Stella, as if she and Stella
were strangers.
When Stella was confused, Harley returned from the boss’s office with a complex expression on his face.
Sandra rose impatiently and said, “Mr. Barnes, is everything alright? I really didn’t expect Stella to offend the foreign guests. Now the foreign guests must have put the company in a difficult position, right?”
“It’s all my fault for not being able to prevent Stella from getting close to the foreign guests! But she threatened me, saying that if I didn’t let her go, she would falsely accuse me of having an inappropriate relationship with Mr. Griffin.”
“Mr. Barnes, is the company okay? Will this matter implicate

our entire planning department?”

As soon as the words fell, all the colleagues looked at Stella with complaints.
Stella finally understood that Sandra had come back carly to complain first.
She stood up and explained, “It was the other party who behaved improperly first. I’ve handled it well, and it didn’t affect the progress of the exchange meeting.”
Sandra said sarcastically, “Stella, is your way of dealing with him to give him a beating?”
Stella frowned and emphasized, “It was self–defense.”
“Is your defense to rub the face of a guest on the ground? Heis the vice president of a biotech company, worth millions. You are competing for the position of deputy director, can’t you handle even a minor situation? Customer first! If other clients find out, who will cooperate with us?”
Sandra seemed to have seized Stella’s vulnerability, constantly attacking her.
Under the gaze of everyone, Stella bit her lip and said firmly, “If putting the customer first means sacrificing myself to drink wine that’s been mixed with something else, then you go ahead. Why are you hiding in the back?”
“Why… why do you say that? He’s a foreigner, highly educated,

and the vice president of a company. Do you think he would be interested in you? Are you joking? It’s not like he has no taste.” Sandra chuckled lightly.
Some colleagues also began to snicker, laughing at Stella’s overconfidence. But most people still had an indifferent expression on their face.
Stella clenched her fists. “If that’s the case, then I wish you all the luck in meeting such millionaires in the future. I believe you will be very happy to drink that cup of wine.”
Sandra and the man with the smirking expression stiffened. stung by Stella’s sarcastic words.
Look. Everyone knows who is at fault, they just prefer to see others in distress.
Sandra turned her head angrily to look at Harley.
“Mr. Barnes, what did the boss say about punishing Stella? After all, we are colleagues. I’m really worried about her.”
Harley frowned tightly, slowly saying in Sandra’s gloating smile, “David… has been fired.”
