Synopsis

I secured a big deal for the company and was promoted to manager. However, I overheard my boss' secretary gossiping in the pantry, saying that I was brainless and only got where I was by using my body. I was so angry that I wanted to report it to the police. Surprisingly, her husband stopped me and forced his wife to bow and apologize to me, begging for forgiveness. Things got worse on the next day. Someone shared my inappropriate photos in the company group chat along with records of me supposedly checking into a hotel with a man. My colleagues looked at me with contempt, as if they all knew what was happening but refused to speak up. Even my boss fired me, saying I had moral issues. My husband immediately divorced me when he found out, took our daughter away, and left me with nothing. Neighbors pointed fingers and whispered about me. I was so overwhelmed that I lost my senses and was killed by a car crash. When I opened my eyes, I returned to the day I was promoted.

Chapter 1

I secured a major deal just after a month since I joined the company, so I was promoted to regional manager, and even nominated as the employee of the month.The constant praise from my colleagues made me feel a little uncomfortable, so I headed to the pantry to calm down. "Anna Jones is amazing! She closed a million-dollar deal so quickly!""Yeah, I heard she's great at negotiating. I should learn from her." I overheard my colleagues' compliments outside the pantry. Just as I was about to walk in and build rapport with them, I heard the voice of Lisa Morphy, the boss' secretary."Seriously? That stupid woman? What a joke! She's not capable of anything but climbing the ladder using her body!"One of the female colleagues frowned and spoke up, "Stop making things up, Lisa. Why are you doing this to her?"Lisa snapped back angrily, "What do you mean by making it up? I saw her checking into a hotel with some man. Actually, there were several men going into the same room! Only b...

"For real? Did I do anything like that? I can't seem to recall anything… I must've been kidnapped! Come with me to the police station as a witness, Lisa. I'm going to report this!"As soon as I said that, the colleagues who had been quietly watching suddenly lit up with interest. Some even leaned behind their computers, secretly recording the scene. The air grew tense.Lisa started to panic and quickly apologized, "I was just joking, Ms. Jones. Please don't take it personally. You should focus on your work and your sales instead."She even pretended to slap herself and wailed, "I'll apologize. Can you let this go?"Her husband, Henry, chimed in to smooth things over. "Yes, Ms. Jones. Lisa just likes to gossip for fun. She didn't mean anything by it. Please don't take it seriously." I laughed sarcastically on the inside. Everyone had taken those nasty rumours about me seriously.There was no way I could sweep the harm I suffered under the rug by just saying it was nothing mor

Rising Above Scandal/Just An Orange Lover

I never went on a business trip with the boss in my past life. Instead, it was Henry who accompanied the boss, claiming he needed to procure something. Coincidentally, my ID card, which I kept on my desk, disappeared at the same time. I tried to explain that I had taken sick leave and gone home that day, but no one believed me. An anonymous user spread edited indecent photos of me. I wanted to report it to the police, but the boss called me before I could. "You've damaged the company's reputation with your private life. You have to go," he said sternly. I argued that it was all baseless rumors and insisted someone was targeting me, but he dismissed my plea."Rumors don't just appear out of thin air. It doesn't matter if I believe in you. Everyone else doesn't. Just move on and find a new job." Despite his attempts to make me leave quietly, I insisted on filing a police report. During the investigation, he prevented the police from gathering useful statements from my col

Before I could react, a female colleague with glasses pointed at me and started yelling angrily. "It's me! Officer, arrest this violent woman and investigate her thoroughly!" I let out a chuckle, released my grip, and ran up to the officer, pretending to cry in distress. "She's right! I'm the victim here. Someone drugged me and dragged me to a hotel. Lisa saw it, and the woman is a witness too!" Hearing that, Lisa looked visibly nervous. Under the officer's questioning, she started to stammer. "I—I don't know. All I know is she went on a business trip with the boss. I don't know anything else." The officer turned to the woman who called the police with a serious expression and asked, "Where did you see her? What time? Be specific." The woman suddenly got worked up as she saw Lisa's hesitation. "Officers, we all heard it from Lisa. She's just too scared to say it now! Lisa, the officer is here! What are you scared of? Go on and tell him!" However, Lisa glared

As my cries filled the air, my colleagues wasted no time and texted the boss, David Walter. David was in the middle of a major business negotiation. Just as the client was about to agree, his phone rang.The call left him stunned, and he rushed over to the office immediately, abandoning the deal. The pantry was packed as he arrived. Even though David, as the boss, ordered everyone to return to their desks and focus on work, no one listened. Some even snuck back to the door to watch the drama unfold. After all, I had claimed that everyone in the office knew about my alleged misconduct, with witnesses like the woman who called the police backing it up. With that, the crowd decided to stay put and wait for the police to sort everything out. David entered the room and greeted the officer with a wide smile. "Officer, there must be a misunderstanding here. I'm a good man! This woman tried to seduce me, but I've always ignored her. I would never lay a finger on her!" He turned

The woman who called the police officer spoke."What's going on? Why isn't it…"She stared at Henry in disbelief, her gaze darting back and forth between Henry and I. The hand she had raised to point at me froze mid-air for what felt like forever before she finally lowered it. At that moment, Henry's face flushed. Lisa froze for a moment before she could react."This has to be a mistake! Officer, please check again. Anna must still be hiding somewhere!" However, after a thorough review of the surveillance footage, the officer confirmed there were no errors. They even called the hotel for clarification. The front desk receptionist explained over the phone, "The man checked in using a woman's ID. I thought it was a married couple, so I registered them, but then I saw two men go into the room together. The next day when I went to clean the room, the bed was such a mess that it nearly blinded me!" As soon as the call ended, Lisa's face turned pale.She pointed at David and

Soon after, David's wife stormed into the company and beat him severely. It turned out the company actually belonged to his father-in-law, and he was just a plain son-in-law. As soon as his wife left, David confronted me angrily."Anna, I've already cleared your name. What more do you want? Now, the company is in chaos because of you. Are you happy now?" I laughed coldly and replied, "I didn't take any videos." He glared at me, his bruised and swollen face making him look ridiculous."Who else would? Lisa or Henry wouldn't expose their own dirty secrets, but you might be the real culprit! Post a statement online right now, saying that you tried to seduce me but got rejected, so you faked the video to ruin me!" I removed my lanyard and tossed it onto his desk with a sneer. "I'd rather not work with a boss like you. Bye!" "I'll fire you for misconduct! Let's see which company dares to hire someone like you!" I ignored his screams and returned to my office to pack my b
