Chapter 37 Rebecca Regretted " Exactly , and they only have ordinary degrees . Can you believe it ? How do people like that even get into our company ? " " Those people from Duran Corporation came here and have done nothing , yet they still get to enjoy the benefits ? It's infuriating . " Rebecca's face darkened . Since joining Blossom Corporation , she had been working late every night , determined to make a strong impression . Yet here they were , talking about her behind her back . After years in management , Rebecca wasn't about to tolerate such disrespect . She pushed the door open and stepped inside . The employees , who had been gossiping , froze in surprise at her sudden appearance . But soon , their gazes were full of contempt . They didn't think they had said anything wrong . Their smug expressions only fueled Rebecca's anger . " Don't you think what you said about us was out of line ? " " Out of line ? You should take a good look at yourselves , " one female employee sneered . " With your degrees , the best job you'd land here is janitor ! " The group burst into laughter . Rebecca's face burned with humiliation , but before she could speak , another person chimed in . Rebecca , you don't actually think that just because you were assistant manager at Duran , you can throw your weight around here , do you ? " You got kicked out of Duran and then stabbed them in the back to come here . Nobody respects people like you . " Even though their company competed with Duran , they still saw a turncoat like Rebecca as the lowest of the low . " You bitches ! " Rebecca snapped , losing her composure . " I was personally invited by Ms. Seabourne ! I'm giving you one chance to apologize , or I'll tell her every word you just said . " The group exchanged glances , fighting to hold back their laughter . Rebecca and her colleagues stormed over and banged on the office door . Winter's secretary stepped in to block them . " Ms. Seabourne isn't here . You can tell me what you need " Rebecca wasted no time repeating the insults they had just endured . She expected the secretary to side with her , but to her shock , the secretary replied coolly , " You do realize fighting is against company policy , right ? Your monthly base salaries will be cut in half . " Chapter 37 Rebecca Regretted 2/2 Rebecca and the others were stunned . " What ? Why ? We're the victims here ! " " Exactly ! We need to see Ms. Seabourne! " someone said . The secretary's tone stayed cold . " Ms. Seabourne is busy . She doesn't have time to see you . " With that , she turned and went back to her desk . Rebecca stood her ground while the others fumed in frustration . " Rebecca , what are we supposed to do ? Ms. Seabourne , isn't here , so no one will stand up for us . " Rebecca's hand curled into a fist . One of them snapped , " We'll tell Ms. Seabourne when she gets back ! She'll fire that secretary for sure ! " Rebecca shot back , " And why would she fire her own secretary for our sake ? " Everyone fell silent . Rebecca exhaled slowly . " Let's just get back to work . " She returned to her desk , though her mind was still in turmoil . The other employees were cold and aloof , even though they were well - educated and had excellent records . This left Rebecca and her group feeling deeply pressured . Rebecca brought up the situation to Raine , and she replied , " There's nothing I can do . Winter's in a terrible mood . Rebecca , you and your team just aren't working hard enough . How could Nancy's performance possibly be better than yours ? " But they were working hard relentlessly, and still , it wasn't enough . Rebecca felt her heart sink . After work , the group gathered once more and talked about what happened at the company . " I can't keep doing this much longer . The stress is unbearable , " one said . " Same here , " another person agreed . " They're so arrogant . They treat us like we're nothing just because they've got better degrees . " They couldn't help but miss Duran Corporation , where the culture had been so much nicer . The others looked at Rebecca with pleading eyes . " Rebecca , you're the one who brought us here . Do you have a plan ? " Rebecca tightened her grip on her cup . " At this point , the only option might be to return to Duran . I never thought Blossom Corporation would turn out like this . "
