Chapter 45 Being Isolated by Her Colleagues
The next morning, when Evelyn was on her way to the company, she missed the morning shift subway and did not manage to squeeze into it. There was only one minute left when she arrived at the company.
Along the way, she had been thinking about the information. She simulated the scene of Eva scolding her countless times in her mind and made mental preparations. However, she did not expect that she not only did not get scolded but also get through it safely.
She thought that she was lucky, but soon she knew that things were not as simple as she thought.
In the coffee room of the company, Evelyn was pouring coffee when she suddenly heard her colleagues beside her deliberately lowering their voices.
“Do you know the new member of our team, Evelyn?”
“Yes, I heard that she is a top student.”
“Today…” One of them lowered her voice even more. “Ms. Pierce especially reminded us. She mentioned something like a well-connected person during the meeting. Do you think it’s
her?”
“Probably. Eva has made it so obvious.”
We’d better not provoke her.”
“You’re right. But it’s unlucky to have such a colleague. I don’t think there’s any benefit we can get in the future. She’ll take all the benefits by herself.”
“That’s right…”
After getting the water, they left. The sound was getting farther and farther away. Evelyn unconsciously tightened her grip on the coffee cup. While she was in a daze, the coffee overflowed. Then she noticed that the back of her hand turned red because of the hot coffee.
She quickly turned off the switch. She ignored the burn on the back of her hand, and her thoughts were in a mess.
So, that was why Eva had asked her colleagues to stay after the morning meeting today.
She frowned. No wonder Eva didn’t say a word about the information. Now that she thought about it, the way Eva looked at her was indeed meaningful.
Could it be that Huston had said something to Eva?
Thinking of this, she became even more flustered. She did not intend to get any special treatment, nor did she want her colleagues to know about her relationship with Huston. Apart from herself, it was not a good thing for Huston either.
When she reached the stairs, she called Huston. It was Sam who answered the phone. “I’m sorry, Miss Shelton. President Lloyd is in a meeting. I can help you pass on the message.”
the meeting.”
After hanging up the phone, she walked back to the office with her glass. She didn’t know if she knew what everyone was thinking, but she always felt that everyone’s eyes were unfriendly.
It turned out that she was right. Those who were willing to help her yesterday became helpless in the face of her problems today. Some people even ignored her. She knew that she had been isolated.
“Evelyn, there’s something wrong with the header of this form.” At the next table, Ada Franco pointed at Evelyn’s computer
screen.
Evelyn thanked her gratefully. “Thank you. I don’t know how to deal with it.”
Ada waved her hand and said indifferently, “It’s okay. I’ll send you a template later. You can compare it.”
It was soon noon. She was so busy that she almost forgot that she had been looking for Huston when she received a call from him. “Are you looking for me?”
She walked to a corner and said, “Yes, I have something to ask you.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Come up and talk.”
“No, I’m going to have lunch with my colleagues now. See you in the underground parking lot after lunch.” She lowered her voice.
