Bestie's Office Plot Against Me

My best friend Ava White was fooling around with the boss in the office.

Yet, it was the boss who came out wearing my underwear on his head.

Ava immediately turned to persuade me. "Luna, I know you want to get promoted, but you can't use such tactics. Kevin is already married."

I wanted to explain, but my friend was convinced that it was me. Kevin Black even took out a ring that only I would wear.

I was at a loss for words.

I was targeted by colleagues and publicly insulted by Kevin's wife.

Citing the reason that I had a negative influence on the company, Kevin canceled my bonus, removed me from my position, and handed over the project that I had painstakingly negotiated to my friend.

I then parachuted in and became their boss.

I had just arrived at the company.

Kevin emerged from his office with a pink bra on his head.

My friend screamed and then stood in front of me, earnestly trying to persuade me.

"Luna, I know your family is in a difficult situation and you're short of money and eager for a promotion, but you can't use such means. What's more, Kevin is already married."

I was completely confused.

"Are you out of your senses?"

The curious and gossiping eyes in the office all focused on me precisely.

Ava sighed, "Luna, wasn't that the bra you bought with Raegan a while ago?"

Raegan was another female employee in our company, and we got along well. We did buy two bras together before.

I was both angry and amused.

"Is this bra only meant for me to wear, Ava? You can eat whatever you like, but you'd better watch your words."

Ava stammered, her eyes evasive. "But last night, I clearly saw you enter Kevin's office and didn't come out until this morning. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong? I don't know anything. I believe Luna wouldn't do such a thing."

Her words, which were clearly an attempt to cover up something, made me so angry that I couldn't hold it in, but I hadn't got a chance to say anything yet.

Ava's eyes turned red, looking extremely aggrieved. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said anything. Luna, don't blame me."

Two female colleagues pushed me away roughly.

"Luna, you don't have the guts to own up to what you've done and instead blame others. No wonder you became a team leader just a few months after joining the company. Kevin praised your hard work."

"Indeed, you've been working hard both during the day and at night. How could you not get promoted quickly?"

I joined this company with the intention of proving myself, but now it seemed that I had climbed up the career ladder through connections.

Kevin threw the bra off his head and said, "Sorry, I accidentally brought it out. Get back to work and stop gawking."

Kevin walked up to me and put a ring on the table.

"Luna, you left your ring in my office."

Ava immediately picked it up, revealing the name engraved on it. "Luna, this is our custom-made friendship ring, unique, with your name engraved on it. You said you'd never lose it. How did it end up in Kevin's hands?"

The suspicious look left me at a loss for words.

Kevin glared at them and snapped, "Stop talking rubbish. Luna and I are completely innocent."

Then Kevin patted my shoulder. "Luna, you've done a great job these days. I'm promoting you to be the general manager. Keep up the good work."

Such a sudden promotion seemed to deliberately confirm their suspicions.

Beside me, a male colleague named Leo Smith said in a sarcastic tone, "Wow, good looks really do come in handy. We've been working for a whole year and still haven't been promoted to manager, yet she managed to become one in just three months."

I clenched my fists tightly, anger simmering inside me, unable to defend myself.

Ava handed me a cup of coffee.

"Luna, congratulations on achieving what you wished for, a promotion."

I took the coffee and splashed it on Ava's face.

"No wonder you like playing the two-faced game; you're all cut from the same cloth."

If I still couldn't see Ava's ulterior motives by now, I would be an idiot. Being betrayed by the person I trusted the most was my own failure to judge people's characters.

Ava looked aggrieved, tears streaming down her face like a waterfall.

"Luna, it's okay if you vent your anger on me, but just don't involve others."

The friendship ring was a gift from Ava, and I had always cherished it, never taking it off except when I took a shower, or when I would put it on the table. Ava and I shared an apartment.

Last night, after taking a shower, Ava asked me to help her with a particularly tricky document.

I worked on it until midnight and then fell asleep right away, forgetting all about the ring.

The only person who could have gotten hold of my ring was Ava.

Leo pulled Ava behind him to shield her. "Luna, don't go overboard. You're shameless and yet blame others for speaking up. If you hadn't relied on your looks, how could you have become a team leader? Don't get too full of yourself."

I snatched the report that Leo had submitted from the table and threw it at his face. "Look at the rubbish you wrote. You can't even get the basic numbers right. A tiny mistake can lead to huge discrepancies."

I looked at the others and said in a stern voice, "I got this position by clinching one contract and proposal after another. If any of you can outperform me in terms of achievements, I'll step aside willingly."

I took out my phone and dialed police directly.

Someone stopped me, asking, "Luna, why are you calling the police all of a sudden?"

I looked at Ava, smiling slightly. "I remember working overtime yesterday and didn't go to Kevin's office at all. Ava claimed that she saw me enter Kevin's office and didn't come out until this morning, but I have no memory of it. I suspect that I've been set up, so I must ask the police for help."
