Chapter 769
Sweet Subterfuge
After checking the final file on her computer, Larissa was certain that her slideshow was missing.
Furious. She threw the mouse away and rushed to Judy. She couldnât care less about the pain in her ankle.
Judy motioned for Larissa to give her a moment because she was on the phone.
With a grim expression, Larissa waited about five minutes until the call ended.
âWhatâs the matter?â Judy looked at her innocently.
âDid you delete the slideshow from my computer?â Larissa cut to the chase.
Judy wore a confused look. âI donât know. I did transfer my files from the USB driver to the desktop. I deleted everything alter printing the documents, I mightâve deleted it by accident. Iâm sorry, Larissa.â
She placed her palms together and tilted her head, trying to act cute. âIs it important? I can redo one for you.â
But there was no hint of apology in her words.
Larissa would be an idiot if she couldnât tell that Judy deleted the slideshow on purpose.
âSure.â Larissa forced a smile. âRedo one for me.â
Judy was stunned momentarily as she didnât expect Larissa to accept the offer.
Her brows knitted immediately. âI can help you out with it but Iâm kinda busy at the moment. I have to deal with an issue with the client right now.
âWhen do you need the slideshow? Can I do it tomorrow?â
âI need it tomorrow morning. I have to get it done today.â Larissa wasnât backing down.
She continued, âIf youâre busy, you can do it and send it to me through email alter work. Iâll forward the required documents to you later.â
Judyâs expression was becoming gloomer.
âI mean â You know that the having dinner with Nina and the others.â She attempted to make an excuse.
âYou can do it at home after dinner.â Larissa was infuriated because the effort she put in for hours went down the drain.
She couldnât bother to keep the courtesy anymore. âNo need for the rush. You can send it to me before work tomorrow.â
Judyâs expression showed hatred, revealing her true colors.
Still she maintained her composure.
Instead of confronting Larissa, she made puppy dog eyes and whined, âLarissa, I know that youâre angry at me. But it was an accident â* Tears trickled down her cheeks. I make it up for you. I finish the slideshow no matter how long it takes. Could you forgive me?â Larissa had encountered various kinds of characters alter spending long years in the workplace. Such a weak girlâ act wouldnât faze her one bit.
âI donât understand how it was unintentional. But since you deleted the le, you have to redo one for me.
As for forgiveness, it doesnât matter if you make up for your mistake.â
zeher The li Larissa didnât care about the disapproving gazes around her. âIl I donât receive the slideshow belore work tomorrow, report it to Mr. Logan Junior Even if she was going to receive a punishment, she was determined to drag the Innocent into the fray as well Tears welled up in Judyâs eyes. She bit her lower lip. âOkay. Iâll make sure to do it by then.â
A colleague said to Larissa. âIt was an accident. Why are you making 11 difficult for her? Youâve done the slideshow once, the process will be smoother if you do it again. sleep tonight.â
âI know, right? You should redo it again. Judy has her job to deal with. And her job is more important than yours. All you have to do is to read some documents and make some slideshows.â
âHow about you help her deal with her clientâs issue? Youâre free anyway.â
As everyone hurled disapproving comments at her, Larissa was on the verge of losing herself.
She tightly clenched her fists until her nails dug into her skin. The pain was reminding her to keep calm and keep her anger at bay.
