As the workday came to a close, Robin exited the office and unexpectedly ran into Amber, who was hurrying down the corridor, cradling a stack of reports in her arms.

“Is Ms. Dunn still here?” he inquired nonchalantly.

Amber shook her head. “No, she left a few hours ago. She finished all her work by 4:00 PM.

“These reports are for her to review tomorrow,” she continued.

“Ms. Dunn asked me to organize them tonight and leave them on her desk since she intends to come in early.”

Robin glanced at the thick reports Amber was carrying “Ms. Dunn really puts in a lot of effort. She left early today. Was there a specific reason?”

“Not really; she went home to practice her cooking,” Amber replied with a laugh.

“Wait, she’s practicing cooking?” Robin asked, raising an eyebrow while looking toward Shirley’s office. “She rushed through her work just to cook?”

Amber chuckled again. “Ms. Dunn is determined to prepare a meal for you herself. She’s been practicing for several days now.

“She takes everything so seriously. When she commits to something, she makes sure it’s done properly,” Amber added.

“Practicing for days? Now that’s dedication.” Robin couldn’t help but grin. “How’s her cooking coming along?”

Amber paused, a flicker of something odd in her eyes before she smiled. “Um, it’s … okay.

“Mr. Ramsey, you’ll see for yourself tomorrow night when you taste Ms. Dunn’s cooking,” she said, taking a step back.

“I need to get back to work. See you tomorrow!”

Robin watched Amber walk away, muttering to himself “With all this practice, it’d better be edible! Let’s hope it’s not another Vera chicken disaster.”

The following morning, Shirley arrived at the office two hours early,

She had spent most of the previous night perfecting her culinary skills on her own.

Today, her aim was to finish her work quickly so she could prepare a special dinner for Robin.

She brewed a strong cup of coffee and opened her laptop, ready to tackle her tasks.

Suddenly, a message flashed in the CEO inbox, grabbing her attention.

It was a formal complaint letter.

The company had a dedicated complaints department and it was common knowledge that any employee grievances should be directed there.

The CEO’s inbox was meant for departmental heads to submit work plans and feedback.

The only exceptions were complaints that the complaints department could not handle, which could then be escalated to the CEO.

Every complaint needed to be resolved and reported back to the CEO for approval.

If an employee was dissatisfied with the outcome, they could escalate it directly to the CEO’s inbox.

Any negligence by the complaints department could result in the dismissal of those involved.

Thus, the complaints department had to manage employee grievances very carefully,

Shirley initially thought about forwarding the letter to her secretary for preliminary processing

However, she quickly noticed that the complaint involved Robin, Amber, and Rosalie.

Her curiosity was instantly piqued.

Who would dare complain about Robin?

The complainant was identified as Piper.

The essence of the letter claimed that Robin and the CEO’s assistant, Amber, were entangled in an inappropriate relationship.

This accusation made Shirley eager to read further.

The letter described how Amber, leveraging her position, had allegedly facilitated multiple violations on Robin’s behalf within the company.

Upon reading this, a smirk appeared on Shirley’s face.

This was clearly a baseless accusation fueled by rumors!

The complaint accused Amber of practicing nepotism, severely disrupting the Human Resources department’s efforts to recruit top talent.

The letter detailed how Amber had been persuaded by Robin to rehire Rosalie, a candidate who had previously been rejected, as the director’s assistant in a prominent department.

Piper, the complainant, argued that it was highly unusual for a newcomer like Rosalie to receive treatment typically reserved for a vice general manager.

At the end of the complaint letter.

Piper asserted that she had incriminating and scandalous photographs of Robin and Amber.

At the opportune moment, she was prepared to expose them.

In her complaint letter, Piper clearly articulated her position.

She accused the human resources department of blatant nepotism in its hiring practices, claiming they overlooked genuinely talented individuals.

Without holding back, she proclaimed that her own abilities surpassed those of Rosalie.

In addition, she expressed her enthusiasm for contributing more to the company.

Piper hoped that after reviewing her complaint, the CEO, Shirley, would recognize the ne

She demanded an immediate investigation, the dismissal of Rosalie, and a promotion for herself.

After reading the complaint, Shirley paused to reflect on a previous anonymous complaint concerning the same hiring practices involving Rosalie.

Shirley recalled the customer service department’s feedback on that issue.

Before Amber collaborated with the HR department, she had already reported Rosalie’s hiring to Shirley, who had approved it.

This situation was not recent; it had been some time since it occurred.

The customer service department had also shared their findings in the company group chat.

According to Amber, Piper and Rosalie had joined the company simultaneously and were also roommates.

Yet, Piper continued to relentlessly flood the CEO’s inbox with complaints about the situation.

Another part of the letter piqued Shirley’s interest further.

Piper boldly accused Robin of having an inappropriate relationship with Amber, asserting that she had solid proof to back her claim.

As Shirley read this portion, she felt a growing sense of amusement.

Initially, she intended for the complaint department to handle the matter discreetly, but after considering it further, she opted to address it personally.

She instructed her secretary to gather Amber, Robin, and Piper for a direct conversation in her office.

When Robin received the summons, he was bewildered about the reason behind Shirley’s request.

As he exited his office, he encountered Amber and asked, “Ms. Jenning, do you know why Shirley called for me?”

Amber shook her head, “No idea. I just got the notification from the secretary as well. It might be about the spokesperson for the Southvale project.”

Approaching Shirley’s office, they noticed Piper hastily making her way over.

As Piper passed by Robin and Amber, she shot them a scornful look. “Robin, I’ll be sure to tell Ms. Dunn all your dirty little secrets soon!

“Ha! Your attempts to deceive Ms. Dunn and jeopardize the company’s interests will soon come to light!

“Don’t think your underhanded actions are hidden from anyone!”

Amber looked confused. “What are you talking about?”

Robin chuckled and shook his head. “Just ignore her; she’s a little off her rocker.”

“Sure, we’ll see who’s truly unhinged soon!” Piper shot back, striding into Shirley’s office.

Robin and Amber exchanged a light laugh before following her inside.

Once Robin settled onto the couch, Piper’s voice rang out sharply, “Robin, what gives you the right to sit there? You’re just a security guard!”

Both Shirley and Amber were taken aback by her comment.

It seemed that Piper had mistaken Robin for security personnel.

Amber wanted to clarify, but Shirley raised a hand to silence her.

Ignoring Piper, Robin poured himself a glass of water.

“Put that cup down! Robin, your disrespect toward Ms. Dunn is completely unacceptable. Don’t you think that’s rude?”

Robin disregarded Piper’s outburst entirely, sipping his drink calmly.

*“Did you hear me? Stand up!”

“Are you ever going to be quiet? Get lost!” Robin retorted, glancing at her with irritation.

“Y–you’re so rude!” Piper exclaimed, pointing angrily at him.

“Alright, Piper, why don’t you take a seat?” Shirley interjected, sensing Robin’s frustration. “I called you in to address your complaint directly.”

Finally, Piper shifted her attention away from Robin.

“Piper, you’re a newly hired employee, and your enthusiasm for company matters is cominendable

“The Dunn Group has always encouraged employees to take responsibility for their roles.

“However, I must remind you that taking responsibility doesn’t mean using it as a means to settle personal scores by harming or slandering others.

“All complaints must be backed by concrete evidence.

“Since you’ve made a formal complaint, let’s lay everything out on the table.

“I want to ensure that everything you’ve claimed is accurate

Piper nodded with confidence. “Ms. Dunn, I assure you that every word I’ve stated is the truth.

“I’ve witnessed certain individuals exploiting Dunn Group’s resources to the detriment of the company, and it infuriates me!

“It took a lot of thought before I decided to submit this complaint.

“Ms. Dunn, I hope you will help remove those who are harming the company from our ranks!

“Let’s make the Dunn Group a cleaner, more vibrant workplace!

“Those who misuse their positions to undermine the company cannot be allowed to stay!

Shirley nodded in response. “Alright, you can sit quietly for a moment.”

Amber exchanged glances between Piper and Shirley, puzzled. “Ms. Dunn, am I also involved in this?”

“Absolutely. Piper has accused you of having an inappropriate relationship with Robin.”

Amber was momentarily stunned. “What? She claims I have an inappropriate relationship with Mr. Ramsey? That’s ridiculous!”

Piper let out a cold laugh. “Ms. Jenning, stop pretending. Since we’re all here today, let’s reveal the truth.

“On my very first day at the company, I witnessed you and Robin exchanging flirtatious glances and even using your positions to help Rosalie access sensitive areas of the company illegally!

“Can you honestly deny your involvement?”

Amber shook her head in disbelief. “Piper, the complaint department has already shared their findings about this in the company group. How could you make this up? Isn’t that a bit absurd?”
