Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Stella glanced over at her, gave a slight nod, and went back to eating with her head down.

As Jaylene fetched utensils, she engaged Sonia in conversation, "Sonia, our team leader mentioned she assigned you some tasks yesterday, but you didn't complete them. What happened?"

Sonia responded, "I finished the tasks she assigned to me. That particular one wasn't on my list."

Jaylene sighed, "Sonia, I understand you're new here and might not enjoy these mundane tasks. But you were exempted from the regular process to join, which was already a special treatment. With everyone watching, certain tasks still need to be completed. If you find them too challenging, I can ask your team leader to assign simpler ones. However, leaving tasks undone without informing anyone isn't acceptable. How can your team leader manage others if this happens?"

Sonia pursed her lips and reiterated, "She didn't assign me to handle that form. I completed the tasks she gave me.”

Jaylene frowned, lightly tapping her fingers on the table, and whispered," Sonia, you've never lied before."

Sonia's fork slipped from her hand and clattered to the floor, her face paling slightly.

Bang!

Stella slammed the napkin onto the table, startling Jaylene. She turned to face her, a hint of displeasure in her eyes. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Stella remarked casually, "Do you have to talk nonsense even during break time? Are you getting paid extra for this?"

Jaylene's expression darkened. "I was just chatting with Sonia. Why are you making such insinuations? Just because she's someone you support, does that mean others can't voice their opinions?"

Jaylene's voice grew louder, drawing attention from other cafeteria patrons.

Stella looked up at her. "Is that what you call chatting? You're insinuating that Sonia didn't complete the tasks assigned by her team leader, but she's stated twice now that she wasn't assigned that task. Yet you accuse her of lying. Do you have any evidence to support that claim?" "But her team leader said-" "Does her team leader's words always represent the truth? Have you investigated this yourself? Are you biased? If you believe in trusting whoever you want based on your feelings, then I choose to believe Sonia. Can I then suspect that her team leader didn't finish her own tasks and, fearing blame from management, pushed the tasks that should have been hers onto Sonia to take the fall?"

Jaylene's expression soured. "You're distorting the facts. Do you have evidence?" "No," Stella calmly lifted her gaze and said, "but do you have evidence to prove that Sonia was indeed assigned that task by her team leader?"

Jaylene couldn't respond, and at that moment, she spotted Sonia's team leader. She was about to call out when the person took advantage of the commotion and slipped out of the cafeteria.

In this situation, the truth couldn't be clearer.

With a stiff expression, Jaylene dropped her fork and muttered " unbelievable" before leaving.

The onlookers dispersed as well.

Stella stood up, picked up a fork, and handed them to Sonia, saying softly," Let's eat."

Sonia looked at the fork in her hand for a while before whispering softly," I'm not lying."

Stella was taken aback, then nodded. Ì believe you."

After finishing their meal and going to the pantry to get water, Kiara waited until they were alone to speak, "Ms. Hall, actually, you don't need to argue with Ms. Saun about this. By standing up for her like this, you might actually make Sonia's situation in the Perfume Blending Department even more difficult."

Stella was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
