Chapter 427
Married at First Sight
Duncanâs words made Libertyâs face burn red.
It was because she was a glutton who kept eating without exercising that she grew fatter by the day.
âI will, Mr. Lewis. I promise Iâll lose weight during the probation period.â
In the future, she would not only run in the morning, but also at night.
She did not believe that she could not lose the fats in her body.
âGood. The probation period for you is shortened to one month. Good luck.â
Duncan said a few kind words before leaving Liberty and walked toward his exclusive elevator. In the blink of an eye, his robust figure disappeared into the elevator.
When Liberty could not see him anymore, she finally looked away and turned her head to find that her boss was glaring at her with displeasure.
She pursed her lips and silently returned to the finance department office.
She used to be a CFO. Although she was now a small clerk in the finance department, everyone tacitly agreed that there was something going on between Duncan and her. Thus, the current CFO, Kim, regarded Liberty as a thorn in her side, afraid that Liberty would take her place.
No one did anything explicitly, but many people tried tripping her up and setting all kinds of traps for her. They wanted her to make mistakes at work so she would leave before she passed her probation period.
If it were targeted at Liberty from the past and she was ostracized by her colleagues this way, she would have quit long ago.
However, she had to endure it now. She had to bear with it at least until she divorced and won custody of Sonny.
After Liberty left, the other employees of the finance department gathered around Kim and said, âWhy doesnât she take a look in the mirror? How dare she make eyes at Mr. Lewis? Mr. Lewis even spoke so much with her.â
Liberty simply faced Duncan when she spoke to him, but these people took it as her making eyes at him.
âSheâs already married and has a twoâyearâold son.â
Kim said faintly, âThereâs no way Mr. Lewis will like her.â
âExactly. Look at how horrid she looks. No man will like her, let alone Mr. Lewis. Why isnât her husband divorcing her when sheâs so fat and ugly? Can he afford to keep feeding her with how much she eats?â
Kim laughed and did not answer.
She already found out that Liberty and Duncan knew each other because Liberty had accidentally scratched Duncanâs car, and her brotherâinâlaw was acquainted with Duncan. Thus, he recruited her for her brotherâinâlawâs sake.
He never had any interest in her.
However, what Kim was on guard against was not that there was a relationship between Liberty and Duncan. She was worried that Liberty would replace her if Liberty was outstanding, Although everyone isolated and framed Liberty under her suggestion, their tricks were all neutralized by Liberty. Just from that, it was clear that if Liberty was serious, there was nothing left for Kim to do.
âHow does she come to work?â
âBy riding a ladiesâ motorcycle.â âIs there a workshop near the company?â âI donât think so. Youâd have to go a long, long way to get to a workshop that fixes motorcycles.â
Kim hummed and walked away.
Her group of supporters exchanged looks.
Soon, everyone was on the same page.
If they could not frame Liberty at work, then they would create all kinds of trouble for her in real life.
That way, she would leave Lewis & Co. of her own volition once she was unable to put up with it any longer.
