At the company’s annual meeting, explicit private photos suddenly popped up on the screen.

The boss rushed to unplug the power cord, but the secretary stopped him.

She had always resented my promotion and kept suspecting I had climbed the ladder through physical favors.

As everyone looked on, she moved in to click play.

I desperately tried to stop her.

“Winika, you’ll regret clicking that!

“Let’s talk about this outside now. Don’t delay everyone’s awards!”

Winika Clark sneered coldly. “You dared commit such acts, but you’re blanching at the idea of showing it to the world?

“Our colleagues are all gathered here today. I can’t think of a better time for all of us to enjoy watching how you climbed the ladder!

“Since it’s an awards ceremony, let’s evaluate whether you deserve the ‘Easiest of the Year’ award!”

I froze. But the photos… were hers?

At the company’s annual party, I was preparing the raffle system for the grand prize draw.

However, Winika Clark suddenly shut down the raffle webpage. She grabbed the microphone and stood before the projector screen.

“Since it’s the company’s annual party, we should make it livelier! Does everyone want some juicy gossip?”

Suddenly, a folder named after me appeared on the big screen.

It was a file my boss, Zoran Lane, had accidentally sent me when transferring materials. It was filled with all sorts of racy, private photos.

Fearing his fiancee would find out, he had threatened and bribed me to delete every trace of it from my computer.

I did not care the least about his personal life, so I brushed it off.

When Winika moved to open that folder, I grabbed her hand.

“Winika, what are you doing? This is the company’s annual party! Don’t delay the raffle! We’re talking about the grand prize! There are so many people here! Stop this! If you have any issues with me, let’s resolve them privately!” I tried to reason with her calmly, but she yanked her hand free.

“Resolve them privately? What’s there to resolve? About how you climbed the ladder by sleeping your way to the assistant manager position? I think everyone here would want to hear the juicy gossip!”

With that, she shoved me aside and faced our colleagues below the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, with the year ending and everyone in a festive mood, don’t you all fancy some explosive gossip? Watch closely. Let’s see how our so-called ‘upright and virtuous’ assistant manager secretly seduced Mr. Lane!”

The crowd below had already grown restless.

“We need this scoop! Hurry up and spill it!

I frantically glanced at Zoran, who stood by the door. He was chatting with his fiancee with a fawning smile on his face.

The next second, I received a message from Zoran. [Stop her now!]

Winika ignored my protests and immediately started the slideshow.

A shockingly explicit photo instantly filled the large screen.

It showed a bunny girl in crotchless black stockings, kneeling on a bed.

A man’s bare legs could be seen lying beside her.

Everyone was stunned.

Winika shouted, “Can’t you all tell?! That’s our newly appointed assistant manager, Aurora Jones! It looks like Mr. Lane promoted you not for your work skills, but for your bedroom prowess!”

That skinny body did not even remotely look like me!

Just as I was about to defend myself, her eyes glinted manically.

“Stop it! That’s not me!”

Fearing she would reveal more photos, I tried to appease her.

However, she remained utterly reckless.

“I don’t think these photos are convincing enough! Let’s look for more dirt!”

She clicked open another photo.

“What do you have to say about this one? Do you still deny it?”

The scene looked eerily familiar.

Behind that unmistakable silhouette lay Zoran’s office!

The banquet hall erupted in an instant.

Several vice presidents exchanged glances.

“Isn’t that Mr. Lane’s office?”

“Yes, yes! I go in there every day to report on my work! I even placed those documents on that desk!”

“The files beside it are mine!”

The room erupted in a cacophony of voices.

Winika froze.

As Zoran’s secretary, she naturally recognized his office.

Her fierce gaze was fixed on me.

“Aurora Jones! You truly are shameless!

“Just to climb the ladder, you would stoop to such despicable acts at the company! You even went to Mr. Lane’s office to seduce him!

“This is a workplace! How disgusting can you be?!”

Winika’s gaze could have eaten me alive.

“You’re practically begging to be a mistress!

“Someone like you has no place at Lane Corporation! If you have an itch, just pull down your pants and scratch yourself!”

Unbelievable. She would spread such slanderous rumors just because she was jealous of my promotion.

Our colleagues erupted into a heated discussion.

“Who knew the year would end with such spice?!”

“Was that how Ms. Jones climbed the ladder?! No wonder I couldn’t win her over!”

“Guess a woman only needs to be good in bed!”

The next moment, a woman in an evening gown stepped before me.

It was Zoran’s fiancee.

Her eyes reddened as she glared at me. Then, she raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face.

Caught off guard, I stumbled backward and fell to the floor. Stars burst before my eyes as darkness closed in.

“I thought you were proud and ambitious! I promoted you myself! Is this how you would repay me, with such despicable acts?!”

She dug her long nails straight into my forehead.

“Did you even know he was someone else’s fiance before you did this?

“Don’t you have any dignity? Are you just willing to stoop this low?

“I’ve misjudged you! You’d better never show your face in front of me again!”

My breath caught. I looked at the hatred in her eyes, and I felt a deep, heavy disappointment.

The promotion had been her idea. She was the one who had suggested it to Zoran. She had insisted my abilities were up to par.

Truth be told, I had always appreciated her for recognizing my potential.

While she trusted my capabilities, her faith in my character was so easily shattered.

I was about to explain myself, but I noted the disappointment on her face and Zoran cowering behind her.

If that was the case, there was no point staying at this rotten company.

Winika smirked as she looked at me mockingly.

The photos kept playing on the big screen.

“Loose wenches like you deserve to be punished!

“I’ll make sure everyone sees your lewd face!”

As the slideshow progressed, the photos showed someone wearing provocative lingerie that would make people’s hearts race.

After viewing many images in the slideshow, I noticed the subjects all wore masks. Their faces were completely hidden!

Winika was furious and directly tapped the photos.

“How could they all be wearing masks?

“Aurora, it looks like you still know enough to preserve some of your dignity. Is that why you are still wearing a mask?”

The next photo showed someone without a mask, but they were turned sideways.

The photo was even more explicit!

This time, it was in the company restroom!

It was a familiar setting, with even more provocative acts.

The audience erupted in shrill screams.

Winika’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

“This is the company’s restroom!

“Some people act all cold and aloof on the surface, yet they’re so loose behind closed doors!”

Ignoring her mockery, I rose and looked toward Zoran.

I waited for him to give me an explanation.

“Boss? Are you just going to let her run wild like this?”

Zoran froze, yet he remained rooted to the spot.

Winika spoke up. “Why?

“Are you putting on a public display of how to seduce the boss?”

She sneered coldly. “Perfect! Everyone must want to see the harlot perform!”

“Zoran Lane!” Zoran’s fiancee roared sharply. “Get out here!”

Not far away, Zoran was caught under the spotlight.

“Ms. Clark! Turn off the screen!

“The rest of the photos must not be released!

“If not, you’re done for!”

The colleagues in the audience looked on with curiosity.

It was clearly a blatant threat!

“What do you mean?

“Why didn’t you think you’d get caught when you were cheating? Are you finally regretting having the truth come to light?”

Zoran’s fiancee pointed at his nose and screamed at him.

“Zoran, I’m spending my money to plug the holes in your company, and you’re keeping a mistress on my dime?

“What are you afraid of now?

“Are you afraid that other people would see your little lover’s body?!”

Zoran shook his head. He took two steps forward to grab Winika’s arm and tried to shut off the screen with his other hand.

Winika paid no heed and shoved him away with her free hand.

He stumbled back a couple of steps and nearly fell to the floor.

Winika let out a cold laugh and turned to all the colleagues.

“I’m just letting everyone enjoy a little show of how Ms. Jones climbed the corporate ladder!

“Boss, the more you try to stop us from looking, the more curious everyone will get!”

I glanced at Zoran, who was still staggering from the shove. I snorted coldly.

Winika displayed every single photo for everyone to see.

With each tap, the colleagues below let out a collective “Wow.”

“This one’s from the secretary’s office! They sure know how to have a good time!”

“Ms. Jones, you’re disgusting. You even went into someone else’s office!”

“This looks like Mr. Lane’s house!”

“Is this from that dinner party?

“You guys actually did this while everyone else was eating?!”

Our colleagues’ faces grew more and more excited. After all, they’d stumbled upon a rare juicy scandal!

Many people raised their phones to record the entire scene. They were eager to share it later.

In the back row, two guys were carrying cameras. They were media reporters whom Zoran had hired.

They were snapping away nonstop.

It was a scoop! It was a documentary of the boss and his junior employee going at it for hundreds of rounds!

Zoran had invited them. He could not blame them for this!

The photos were indeed racy. It was a shame that they were all masked.

But the clothes that barely covered their bodies were the best proof.

Winika glared at me with a ferocious expression.

“If you dare to wear clothes like that, I wouldn’t even dare to look!

“Ms. Jones, why don’t you take your clothes off right now and show everyone?

“You’re such a harlot. You must love it when people look at you, right?”

I had a look on my face like I was just there to watch the show.

It was not me, so I might as well just sit back and watch the show!

By the time we got to the last two photos, I could clearly see two snow-white bodies even before clicking on them.

Winika glared at me and reached out to click.

“Let’s see what you have to say now!

“Everyone deserves to see just how shameless you really are!”

Her expression was frenzied. She was beyond caring for anything.

I shook my head and offered my advice.

“Winika, you’d better turn off the screen right now. Otherwise, no one would be able to save you!

“If you want to try, go ahead!”

She thought I was threatening her.

Winika laughed coldly.

“Save me?”

“What else can you do besides threaten me?”

“Didn’t you just say that it wasn’t you? Why would you want me to turn it off now?”

She reached out and lightly rested a hand on my shoulder. Her smile grew wider and wider, like a madwoman.

“I can turn it off if you want!

“Slap yourself ten times and shout from the stage, ‘I’m the other woman, I’m a harlot!’ Then, I’ll consider stopping!”

Winika was absolutely delighted.

“Winika, do you want to ruin your career?

“I advise you to think carefully!”

Winika shoved my hand away.

“My career? My foot!

“Since you won’t do it, don’t blame me for this!

“Let’s just treat this photo as another year-end bonus for everyone! It’ll be a good chance to see just how wretched you really are!”

She turned around with a laugh and clicked to play the last slide.

“Everyone, take a good look! This is a special treat from Ms. Jones!”

On the big screen, the slideshow continued.

As the scene popped up, a stark white figure appeared before the crowd the next second.

The final photo froze on the big screen.

It was in 4K resolution. Even the bells on her lingerie were crystal clear!

The person in the photo was sticking out her tongue while leaning between a man’s legs.

She was finally unmasked.

However, the face was unmistakably Winika’s!
