Chapter 397 397: Scandal (Part 2)

-Alliance.

In the office, the pink-haired woman tapped the desk with a ballpoint pen, feeling a bit frustrated. On the computer beside her were seven or eight discarded design drafts.

Usually, Lena would definitely have discarded drafts during the design process, but it wouldn't be like today, where she spent the entire morning and ended up with not a single design draft that she was satisfied with.

What is wrong with me?

Lena could probably vaguely guess the reason for this poor state and lack of inspiration.

The pink-haired woman took out a carefully preserved photo from her wallet.

It was very normal for fans to always treat a photo with a celebrity as a treasure, wishing they could carry it with them every day.

But for a celebrity to always keep a photo with a fan in their wallet...

That was quite rare.

Lena looked at the young man in the photo.

That feeling of restlessness and confusion only slightly eased.

But when she thought about how she was in a hurry to go visit Miyuki's place at the time, so she didn't even ask for the other party's contact information, work, home address, or anything, resulting in her having no way to find the young man again even if she wanted to, with no clues at all.

Damn it!

Thinking of this, Lena's feeling of frustration rose exponentially again.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Lena's office. It was the little assistant who came to deliver materials to Lena. Unlike usual, today's assistant also seemed very angry, with a very indignant look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Lena couldn't help but ask with concern.

The little assistant hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Director Lena, you've been in the office all morning, so you don't know. It seems that since last night, there's been a rumor circulating within the company, saying that you have a scandalous relationship with a convenience store employee!"

"Convenience store employee, scandal?" Lena frowned.

She was already in a bad mood, and now hearing this made her even more irritated. Everyone in the company knew that she was most cautious in this regard. Even many of the assistants under her were all females, never hiring men.

"If you ask me, it must be Hina spreading the rumors. Only Hina was present at yesterday's incident. She must be holding a grudge after suffering a setback at your hands and is retaliating like this! What kind of person is she, really disgusting!"

Lena was originally full of anger. Usually, she would ignore Hina's many provocations, mainly because she disdained them. But now Hina was even creating scandals about her. This had already touched Lena's bottom line. She couldn't tolerate it anymore.

But with the latter half of her assistant's words, Lena was stunned at first, then quickly followed up, "Wait a minute, the scandal you mentioned, who is it with? It couldn't be that fan from yesterday, right?"

"Yes, it's the one who took a photo with you. Obviously, you were just being approachable and doting on a fan, but in the mouths of certain people, it turned into you having feelings for someone else. It's too despicable!"

In the deputy chief designer's office, there was a joyous and lively atmosphere.

"No, Director Lena, she... she went to that convenience store!"

"What?" Hina frowned. Logically speaking, Lena should be trying her best to clarify at this time and definitely shouldn't go to a place like the convenience store. Wouldn't that be equivalent to further confirming the scandal?

But with the assistant's next sentence, Hina was completely stunned on the spot.

"Yes, and it's said that..."

"Director Lena even changed her clothes to go and put on high heels..."

"..."

"?"

...

-Convenience store.

"Bro! If you don't explain this matter clearly to me, don't even think about leaving half a step out of this store today!"

The angry chubby guy was interrogating the young man across from him.

"Didn't you say before that women are like clothes and men should focus on their careers? Why do you care? Besides, I already told you, I don't know anything. It's probably just a rumor spread by idle employees of the Alliance who saw us taking photos together yesterday."

"First of all, women are like clothes, but can people not wear clothes!? Secondly, that's our goddess! How can it be the same! Lastly... it was you who took the photo together yesterday, not us! Damn it! Damn it AHHHHH!"

Shota gritted his teeth, wishing he could become Renji.

"Really no big deal? You're not secretly contacting Director Lena behind my back, are you?"

"Really not." Renji said innocently.

"You promise?"

"Promise."

"Phew! Then bro, you and I are still good brothers." The chubby guy let out a long sigh of relief.

If there's anything most unbearable between men, it's probably having the goddess in your heart quietly taken by your brother.

Fortunately, such a life tragedy didn't happen.

But at this moment, the automatic welcome sound for customers entering the convenience store rang again. The chubby guy turned his head to look towards the door, ready to greet the customer, when...

He suddenly froze on the spot.

Without needing many features to reveal, that pink hair was the most eye-catching sign.
