Celine felt an inexplicable unease. She realized that her livelihood in the entertainment industry could be jeopardized if this newcomer managed to
steal her spotlight in the future.
Pearl, seemingly lost in thought, approached Rosalie and placed a hand on her shoulder. She asked coldly, "Is what she's saying true?"
Rosalie shook her head calmly and firmly. "I didn't say that.”
Everyone was aware of Celine's status in the company and chose to remain silent during this confrontation.
"You're the experienced one here. You should show patience to newcomers. Why did you argue with her?"
Celine had anticipated that Pearl would pressure the newcomer into backing down, allowing her to escalate the situation and drive the newcomer
away. However, Pearl insisted that Celine should not quarrel with a newcomer.

"Miss Pearl!" Celine protested, pouting in dissatisfaction. "But she insulted me. You should punish her."
Rosalie had an urge to retaliate against Celine's overbearing attitude, but she restrained herself after glancing at Pearl. For sinexplicable reason,
Rosalie trusted Pearl and believed that she would handle the situation fairly.
"Celine, we need evidence. You made unfounded accusations against her. If you wantto take action, you must provide concrete evidence." Pearl
extended her hand, requesting proof.
Of course, Celine had no evidence. She had assumed that she could easily get rid of the newcomer without any issues, but things had taken an
unexpected turn.
Realizing this, she attempted to maintain her usual innocent image, biting her lip and offering a helpless smile. "Alright, Miss Pearl. | think you're
correct. | shouldn't have argued with a newcomer. It's just that no one has ever treatedthis way. | felt a bit uncomfortable when someone with a
short temper suddenly appeared.”
She subtly hinted that getting along with Rosalie was hard.
Pearl narrowed her eyes as Celine casually labeled Rosalie unfairly. She warned, "Everyone is different and unique, which is a good thing. But if you
can't accept that, it might be better to limit your interactions with her."
Pearl's words enlightened the others, who began to understand the situation. She had openly defended the newcomer.
The staff members started to voice their support. "That's correct. The company encourages individual development, and there's nothing wrong with
that."
One person spoke up initially, and others followed suit, echoing the sentiment. Celine would have to reconsider if she wished to antagonize Rosalie.
Her smile twisted, and she struggled to suppress her anger. She lowered her head to regain composure, feigning fragility. "Understood, Miss Pearl. I'll

Despite her initial schto hinder Rosalie's progress, she now found herself apologizing. Now, she was more determined than ever to drive Rosalie
out of the company.
With the issue resolved, Pearl planned to return to her office, but Wayne intercepted her.
"Someone's waiting for you outside."
"It's almost tto clock out. Who could it be at this hour?" Pearl wondered.
Wayne hesitated briefly before responding cautiously, "It's Richard."
Pearl was stunned. She knew that Richard hated her, so why was he waiting for her outside?
