“… I was just jealous of Natalie.She didn’t even need an interview to get in here and she got to go with you to Milan.Elizabeth and I have worked so hard, it should have been one of us.I just felt it was wholly unfair.So I wanted to create trouble for her and her husband…”
As Rosa spoke, she looked at Natalie with tears in her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Natalie.I didn’t want to admit it because I was scared.I was afraid of losing this job.”
Clenching her fists, Natalie asked, “And have you thought about what you have done might do to me?”
Rosa was riled up with rage when she saw the furious look on Natalie’s face.It wasn’t a big deal! However, since Draco was still here, she could only continue to apologize in a low, solemn voice, “I’m sorry, Natalie.I really know I was wrong.Please forgive me!”
After saying that, Rosa looked at everyone to see their reactions.She thought it was very common that colleagues fought.
As long as she could make it look like a smaller matter, she might be able to stay and work here.
Natalie had a cold look on her face.She wasn’t buying Rosa’s words at all.She knew very well in her heart that Rosa was merely trying to make this matter look less serious.She knew that Rosa didn’t want her forgiveness at all.
The reason why she was acting so guilty and regretful was because she was afraid that Draco would fire her.
Draco narrowed his eyes and appeared even unhappier now.It might be because he had always been gentle toward everyone that when he acted so imposingly, everyone became frightened.He snuck a glance over at Natalie.
When he was about to speak, Sebastian suddenly showed up at the door in a crisp suit.
“Sorry to interrupt your work, but I’m here for something urgent.”
His arrival happened to push the matter to the climax.
Rosa grew excited at once.She hoped that Sebastian was here to make a farce out of the situation.
Sebastian made his way into the studio, his face devoid of emotions.He focused his gaze on Natalie and it was hard for him not to feel bad.
Natalie’s eyes were still red and puffy right now.It looked like she had cried for hours last night.
Seeing Sebastian before her, Natalie lowered her gaze to the floor and remained quiet.
Looking into Sebastian’s eyes, Draco was the first to speak, “Mr.Larson, if you’re here for the photographs, I can explain the matter.”
Lifting his arm, Sebastian said rather defiantly, “I trust my wife.I’m not here for that.”
He turned to look at Rosa, who was wiping her tears at this moment, and said, “I’ve found out who sent me the text.It was Rosa Pierce.Furthermore, I knew that you bought some purgatives the day before Natalie had her bout of diarrhea.I went to see the nurse who was in charge of taking care of Natalie that day.I learned from the nurse that she gave Natalie’s medication to Rosa and asked her to give it to Natalie.Therefore, Rosa must be the one who mixed the purgatives into Natalie’s medication.”
As soon as he learned about this, Sebastian rushed to w Marks Studio to show everyone the evidence.
The evidence was definitely solid now.
Furthermore, Rosa was the only one who had the chance to drug Natalie twice.
On his way there, Sebastian had been feeling bad for having wronged Natalie.He thought he should’ve talked to Natalie about this after he was able to calm himself down.
Since Rosa had tried to drug Natalie, the photo she sent him must be another trick of hers too.She tried to set Natalie up and he allowed her to do just that.
Rosa was currently at work with Natalie.He was worried she might try something again.So as soon as he found the evidence, he hurried to get here.
Sebastian showed everyone the evidence he had just discovered.
“It wasn’t me! It was actually Elizabeth who delivered the medicine to Natalie!”
Pointing her finger at Elizabeth, Rosa said tearfully.
Sebastian’s evidence caused a great uproar in the whole office.
After all, everyone had always believed Rosa was such a friendly and lovely co-worker.
“How could this be possible? Rosa doesn’t seem like a person who could do such a thing at all.”
“Yes, I can’t believe it.Why in the world would she do such a thing?”
During this time, Elizabeth’s voice sounded out, interrupting everyone’s discussion.
“It was Rosa who handed the medicine to me.She said that it was from the nurse and asked me to deliver it to Natalie.Now that I thought some more about it, she must’ve asked me to hand it over in order to place the blame onto me.”
Elizabeth’s words sounded brief and to the point.She didn’t even bother to look at Rosa as she offered everyone in the office her explanation.
Rosa knew that it was all over for her now.
Now that there was solid evidence and even eyewitnesses against her, there was nothing she could say to defend herself.
With a very pale face, she stopped her tears and arguing.
“You’ve got nothing to say now, is that right?”
Natalie turned to look at her and sneered.
If it weren’t for the pitiful look on her face, Natalie would have slapped her now.
“I’ll let you go for drugging me, since we’ve co-workers after all.”
With a cold look in her eyes, Natalie handed her phone over to Draco and said, “Mr.Wesley, I’m going to leave the rest to you.”
Rosa hated Natalie with all her heart.
What she said just now made her look even worse.
Furthermore, Natalie said she was going to leave the rest in Draco’s hands… Rosa turned to look at Draco unconsciously and it was hard for her to keep her tears back.
The last thing she wanted was to face the rage of the man she loved.She knew that because they had found out that she had drugged Natalie, there was no way Draco would keep her as his assistant.
What she did was actually a crime after all.
With the phone in his hand, Draco turned to look at Rosa with a cold expression in his eyes.
“Why did you do such a thing?”
He didn’t believe what Rosa had just said at all that she was jealous of Natalie.
A few years ago, when he was going about choosing an assistant, he took a liking to Rosa because he thought she was an honest and out-going person.
Rosa came from a well-off family and was both outstanding and beautiful at the same time.It would not be hard for her to marry someone as equally excellent as her.
The Pierce family was a famous literary family in Barnes and they were on the same level as the White family.
Rosa had no reason to harbor jealous thoughts of Natalie.
Rosa drew in a deep breath and forced back her tears.She supported herself with the table behind her with her hands in case she fell to the ground awkwardly due to weakness.She knew that there was no hope of her staying anyway, so she simply told the truth.
Her voice was full of despair at this moment.
“When I changed my major, my parents couldn’t figure out why I would do such a thing at all.At that time, I majored in chemistry.None of them knew the real reason why I decided to transfer to fashion design.”
She burst into tears and told Draco everything.
“When I was in my junior year, you gave us a speech about fashion design at the college.That’s when I started to like you.It took me a great deal of effort to come here to be your assistant.But I was afraid that you would fire me once you found out my feelings for you.I figured you would think of me as trouble by then.I had already gotten used to the fact that you would never like me back.But everything changed when Natalie showed up.After she came here… Have you even noticed how you have been giving her special treatment, Draco Wesley?”
Now that both Natalie and her husband were here, Rosa decided to spill it all out.
Draco simply stood there with a sullen face as he listened to her words.
Subconsciously, he stole a look at Natalie and immediately looked away.He nodded slightly and apologized to both Natalie and Sebastian, “This is all my fault.It’s not appropriate for me to post the photos of me and Natalie on my social media accounts.I never thought it would have led to this huge misunderstanding.Just to let you know, Natalie and I are simply colleagues.”
