Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 52 Staining Her Name

Because Lisa was able to get along with the clients on the first day, Lisa was chosen to work on the project. The order was not very big, but it was not very small either.

According to the clients' feedback, Lisa revised the plan several times. Because of how much time she had invested into this project, after half a month, Lisa had lost six to seven pounds. This really made Jisoo's heart ache. Whenever she was able to catch Lisa, she would pull her to a restaurant to eat.

Jungkook seemed to be busy as well. Occasionally, when Lisa returned home early, he was nowhere to be seen.

After Lisa finished cooking dinner, she placed the food in the incubator and waited for him to come back to eat. There were a few times when Lisa was too tired and fell asleep on the sofa. However, the next day, she would find herself lying on her bed.

The two of them maintained a strange tacit understanding. Neither of them inquired about what the other was doing.

Although it took her a lot of hard work, holding the contract signed by both parties, the smile on Lisa's face could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried.

The news of Lisa sealing the deal alone quickly spread throughout the company, causing many colleagues to look at her in a new light.

At the morning meeting on the day after the contract was signed, Lisa received a bonus for sealing the deal. Because she had done it on her own this time, she was at ease with the bonus.

The workplace was a place where cooperation and competition coexisted, especially in the sales department. Profit came first. Although everyone had a competitive attitude towards each other, most people would put on a friendly mask. After all, one day, you might need others' help. There were not many people like Krystal who dared to provoke others openly.

"A newbie sealing a deal by herself? Who are you kidding! She might have used some underhanded means." A shrill female voice sounded in the pantry.

Lisa had seen this person walking together with Krystal many times. Although she didn't remember her name, her voice had left a deep impression on her.

"Qiao Xin, why are you angry with her? She's just a newbie, what's the point?"

Lisa did not know the person who spoke this time, but those who mingled around Krystal's friends probably weren't good people either.

"The project should have been mine. Who knows what tricks the little bitch used to get the client to sign the contract with her."

Just by listening to her voice, one could imagine how angry the woman named Qiao Xin was at the moment. If Lisa were to appear, she might even impulsively hit her.

"Keep your voice down, okay? Don't say that. I think I heard someone say that someone gave her the project on purpose," the female voice said in a lower voice.

The reason why Lisa could hear all this was because the door of the pantry was not closed.

"Gave her the project on purpose? Are you an idiot? Who wouldn't want to earn money?"

"Aiya, Qiao Xin, are you dumb? Those who can allocate projects are powerful person! They are those who can talk to clients privately."

"Are you talking about our higher-ups?"

"I don't know, I don't know. I didn't say that."

"Aiya, you coward. Could Lisa have connections? Otherwise, why would the higher-ups take such good care of her?" "What connections? She's just a normal worker. Why would they take care of her?"

Although the woman said she didn't know, the meaning behind her words was clear.

In the next second, Qiao Xin said clearly, "What other reason can there be? First, she has a useless background. Second, she has no connections. She must have used her pretty face. She's really amazing! She has only been here for a short while and has already hooked up with the higher-ups. Tsk tsk."

Lisa was no longer in the mood to listen to the two of them make up stories about her. Although it was tiring, she was able to seal the deal pretty smoothly. If she were to rush in to explain to them, they probably wouldn't believe her anyway.

Instead of wasting time arguing with them, it was better to work on a few more projects. It was better to earn money than to listen to gossip.

However, when Lisa turned around, she met Krystal's eyes. Krystal's face was full of smiles, but the malice in her eyes was not concealed at all.

Lisa looked at the pantry and then looked at Krystal. She realized that Krystal must have deliberately let her hear these words on purpose. Lisa wanted to turn around and leave, but Krystal stepped forward and blocked her way.

"You're really amazing! You sealed the deal alone so quickly. Should I congratulate you for selling your body to get the project? You're willing to give up anything just to be given the project."

Lisa stopped and looked into her eyes. "Krystal, you are disgusting. We are both women, yet you are using such vicious words to belittle me. Everyone in the company has witnessed how I sealed the deal. What's the point of causing speculations about me. Have you ever had such thoughts before? That's why you are so familiar with staining other people's name?"
