Chapter 65 Today, she was immediately placed on the pillar of shame (1)
Rose stepped into the finance department and sensed that something was off.
In the past, although the department was not noisy, there were always some sounds here and there.
But now…
Everyone felt like they were typing on the keyboard very lightly.
Silent… a bit nerve-wracking.
She didn’t pay attention and walked straight to the supervisor’s office, knocking on the door.
Without waiting for a response, he shouted, “Boss, I bought the socks for you. I went to several malls this time and finally got the right
ones…”
The conversation was not finished when the office door opened.
Rose looked at Darrin standing at the door and blinked.
“Editor-in-chief? What are you doing here?”
Immediately, she saw another person in the office, “Huh, Lucy is here too? Wasn’t Lucy with Mr. Brown?”
Lucy’s eyes almost sparkled with hatred.
What was she doing at Maverick?
Are you waiting to be scolded again?
Darrin already knew about the whole thing. It was Mr. Lott who

directly called to greet Mr. Carroll, and Mr. Carroll then ordered him to handle it!
That is to say, she is finished!
The act committed this time, it is no longer possible to escape unscathed!
But Lucy quickly composed herself.
As Darrin turned around, his gaze swept across the room and finally landed on Ab bie’s leg.
Ab bie instinctively pulled her legs back behind the desk.
“Socks?” Darrin frowned and asked Rose, “You work at Flourish Media, specifically buying socks for the supervisors? And this time too?”
Rose smiled amiably, “There’s no way around it. The supervisor’s socks always tear, she’s allergic to other brands, and she only wears a specific shade. The first few times, I…”
“Rose!” Ab bie interrupted her urgently.
But it was already too late.
Darrin turned to her and confronted her without a second’s pause.
“Don’t you have socks to work?”
As soon as he said these words, Ab bie froze and a look of panic appeared on her face.
He had never scolded her like this before.
Without any disguise, he scolded her in front of her subordinates.
But Darrin didn’t stop at just cursing. He stared at Ab bie, his eyes sharp with the superiority of a higher-ranking individual. “The company pays an employee to buy socks? You’re short of staff, bring someone in and buy whatever you want. Taking advantage of company resources for personal gain, it must be quite satisfying.”
“It’s not…” A bbie wanted to argue.
But Darrin didn’t give her a chance.
“Isn’t it? So you’re just settling personal scores? Intentionally harassing and bullying a newly hired employee, Ab bie, using such unprofessional means, as a department supervisor,”
He called her by her full name, unable to hide his disgust, “Is this all you’re capable of?”
Ab bie’s face turned pale, her lips quivered, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
Darrin scolded her… He, such a gentle and elegant man, such a gentleman with such grace, would actually use these words to insult her.
Just because she played with his heart…
Didn’t he have an assistant himself? Didn’t he also often ask people to buy him coffee and handle trivial matters?
Why did it become her bullying employees when it came to her?
Ab bie sat heavily on the chair, holding back her tears.
Darrin didn’t look at her again.
He had a cold expression on his face and didn’t have a good attitude towards anyone, but Ab bie clearly noticed that when he looked at
Rose, the sharpness in his eyes diminished.
“Mr. Lott called personally to inquire about this matter, saying that Maverick insists on having you for the interview. Are you still going?” he asked.
Ab bie’s tears finally couldn’t be controlled and fell down.
How gentle it was!
How considerate!
When others encountered such a situation, they had only one option.
Instead of Rose, Darrin would seek her opinion, indicating that if she didn’t want to, he would stand in her way.
Once, he had intercepted Judson’s lawyer’s letter for her.
“If the company needs me, I will definitely go.” Rose’s tone was no different from before, but A bbie felt that she was being insincere and fake.
Emotionally overwhelmed, Ab bie couldn’t contain herself. She unleashed all the anger she had received from Darrin onto Rose.

“So you were hesitant before? Lucy called you so many times, and I called you so many times too, but you either didn’t answer or made excuses! If you really put the company first, you would have gone earlier, and Mr. Lott would have transferred the call to Mr. Carroll, wouldn’t he?”
Darrin furrowed his brow and was about to speak.
Rose had already rushed ahead and said, “Because I need to buy socks for the supervisor. Buying a pair of socks is equivalent to correcting one draft. If I don’t buy the socks, does it mean the draft will also be missing?”
Ab bie used to explode whenever she heard the word “socks” now.
She slammed the table and said, “Don’t try to confuse me. There are priorities and urgencies in matters, you are just making excuses!”
“Okay,” Rose maintained her usual good attitude, “The supervisor said it’s final. I intentionally procrastinated and didn’t prioritize the company, so I don’t want to interview Maverick. The supervisor is right, so I won’t go.”
“You…” Ab bie never expected that Rose would kneel down so quickly and so directly.
He knelt down and played poorly.
“Okay, if you don’t want to go, then don’t.” Darrin cut off Ab bie’s words, “The responsibility for the incident is not on you, and it won’t be held against you.”
“Ab bie!” Lucy panicked.
The responsibility does not lie with Rose, then who does it lie with?
On her body!
With such a big thing happening, can she still get promoted to the video department?
She didn’t want to get involved in this mess before, but it was Ab bie’s promise of great benefits that made her step into it!
And now, only let her take the blame alone?
Ab bie did have a father who could protect her when problems arose. If worse came to worst, she could always go home and not worry about food and drink.
But what did she have?
She died and she stayed dead, no resurrection!
In that moment, Lucy looked at Ab bie with a pleading gaze, mixed with a hint of threat and madness.
There was a fierce determination among the plastic sisters to not save each other and to perish together.
Ab bie was stunned.
Lucy threatened her, but she might not be afraid if it were something else.
But… if Darrin were to find out what she had done to target Rose…
Just thinking about it made her feel hopeless.
Ab bie hesitated, and when she looked at Rose again, even her gaze softened.
“I didn’t mean that, I was just in a hurry, Rose, the company needs you now…”
“You also needed her,” Darrin coldly interrupted her, his eyes filled with ice. “You needed her to boss you around.”
Ab bie broke her tooth and swallowed it, saying, “How could I even compare myself to the company? It was my fault.”
The office outside was as quiet as death.
Ab bie had already started interning at Flourish Media before graduating from Rayvale Communication University.
Finance was the flagship department of Flourish Media. In order to match Darrin’s status, the family specially arranged for her to be placed there, allowing her to leap like a rocket and land in the position of supervisor.
Everyone knew that Ab bie was the queen of the finance department and likely to be the future owner of Flourish Media.
Whether they are newcomers or old-timers, for the first time, they heard her apologize with her head down.
Darrin, however, did not back down. He asked coldly, “What went wrong?”
Ab bie was so heartbroken that she felt wronged.
Today, Darrin was going to nail her to the pillar of shame…
But what could she do?
She answered with tears in her eyes, “I shouldn’t have casually ordered the employees to seek personal gain, which delayed the company’s important matters.”
