You Reap What You Sow

If Cloe was told to come up with only one word that was Raelle's favorite. She'd say, it's 'troublesome'. From the moment Cloe had been with Raelle, this word had been repeated on daily terms.

If asked, Chief, why don't you get angry?

Troublesome!

Why don't you take a break from work?

Troublesome!

Why didn't you just call me?

Troublesome!

Why don't you want to go to the dinner party?

Troublesome!

Why don't you have friends?

Troublesome!

This one 'troublesome' had to be the most constant thing in her life. If Raelle was 'X' then 'troublesome' was that X's constant value. That never changed!

But that didn't mean Raelle was easygoing. She'd let you off anything except for when people tried to play dirty. She was an honest and straightforward person. Cheating, lying, disloyalty, slander, none of it sat well with the values she had learned from her grandfather.

As soon as Cloe had heard the voice of that Director Mo, she could already tell why her boss went out of her way to come here. Since she didn't like troublesome things, she didn't like troublesome people like this Director Mo as well.

"Before I entered, you were complimenting me so highly," Raelle's cold and elegant voice rang out. "How come you are so quiet now?"

Everyone's face turned red all over again.

With her lips curved up, she went on, "And Director Mo, if you're so envious of my fashion sense, you could have come to me for help anytime." Cloe pursed her lips to stifle her laughter while Raelle continued, "I won't be stingy with sharing my style secret. After all, it's not like my fashion sense would help you climb the ladder."

Director Mo's expressions darkened, he tried to restrain himself before her, "President Xiang, you're my boss but don't forget that I'm a senior in age and experience both."

"I neither care about your age nor about your experience. Didn't you say I'm a rude brat?" said Raelle as she straightened up. "I only care about your work value and moral conduct. But you seemed to lack in both categories!"

"President Xiang!" Director Mo's voice raised. Even if she was his boss, he wasn't scared of her. He also had his own backers. This stinky girl couldn't fire him so easily! "Don't go overboard! Just because you're the CEO doesn't mean you can say anything as you please. As an employee, I also have rights. Besides, people like you can only be this arrogant because of employees like us who work hard to fill your bank accounts and boost your egos."

There wasn't a single change in Raelle's expressions. She looked just as indifferent as before as she parted her lips to say, "It's employees like you who only bring shame to my company's name." She took a pause briefly to add, "What did you say earlier? I seduced my way up? Why? Are you jealous that you couldn't seduce anyone? Or is it that even if you threw yourself on someone's bed, they won't take goods like you?"

"You! Do you think everyone is like you?!" Director Mo pointed a finger at her hatefully.

Raelle tutted, "It's a pity that not everyone is like me." She pulled out an envelope from her coat's pocket and threw the photos inside at the table. The photos scattered around and everyone could clearly see the content of the photos.

Those were the photos of Director Mo in bed with different young girls either from their company or from outside. They couldn't recognize the faces of the girls because of the camera angle but the face of Director Mo was very clear in each shot!

"It's cheap people like you who can't even seduce someone and then resort to blackmailing others through underhanded ways," Raelle's words fell and Director Mo's eyes went round in shock. Seeing the ironclad evidence before his eyes, he frantically tried to gather all the photos but the situation couldn't be salvaged since everyone had already seen it all.

"What seniority?" asked Raelle. "I don't think I need to acknowledge a filthy senior like you. Manner? Were you taught any in your life? Respect? Someone like you don't even respect his own wife and play around outside like this, what respect are you expecting from me?"

"You're slandering me! This is all fake! I'm not falling for it!"

Not paying any attention to him, Raelle directly informed him, "By tomorrow, you'll receive the court orders. I've already filed a lawsuit against you." She extended her hand towards Cloe, who consciously placed some documents in her hands. Raelle slapped it at the table saying, "This is the proof of you taking bribes from the contractors. No wonder you called me headstrong, just because I didn't play along with your wishes and chose the company you had taken a big bribe from."

She stood up and fixed her coat, "I don't know how long I'll last, but you're definitely finished! I've already sent a copy of all the evidence to your wife as well. No need to thank me!" With that, she turned around and stopped at the door to say, "Enjoy your dinner everyone! It's still on me. But something tells me you won't be able to swallow it anymore."

As she strode out, the heavy mood in the private room, turned even more unsightly. Those who had been involved with Director Mo lost the color of their faces. And the rest were also panicking whether they still had a job or not? Because Raelle hadn't said a word from start to end to them.

Leaving the restaurant, Cloe asked, "Chief, you had the evidence. You already filed the lawsuit. You even prepared for the aftermath as well. Then why did you just come here to announce it yourself?"

"Wasn't it fun?" retorted Raelle. "How else would I see those panic-stricken expressions? Yanyan said I should also do something for my enjoyment."

Cloe's face twitched as she thought, 'What fun? You clearly did it to give them slow-burning torture!'

She sighed to herself and asked, "Then what about the rest of them? Do you want to fire them?"

"What for?" was Raelle's response. "Those who are guilty definitely has to get their retribution. As for the rest, they can stay. I'm feeling quite generous tonight."

Cloe really wanted to curse her out loud now. 'What feeling generous? You're gonna make them work to their blood and bones to get back the value you invested.' Clearly, she could still read Raelle well enough. Maybe it was Raelle effect at work again because Cloe didn't even feel pity for any of them.

You reap what you sow!
