"Well done, all of you," said Lenny sarcastically. "Have any of you seen this article?" On the big screen, the article in question was projected-it was obviously the one that had falsely accused Rita. However, the ambiguous photo and the names of the individuals involved were blurred out. Rita clenched her hands together.

"Boss, did you make a mistake with the article? What's there to learn from this? Isn't this the typical tone used by paparazzi?" someone asked.
Lenny shook his head. "Indeed, this isn't the kind of content you should be learning from. But I am curious about something-just how deep is the grudge between the author of the article and you, Rita, to portray you in such a vulgar manner? "Chase, you seem to have a good understanding of managing juniors. Why don't you share your thoughts?" Chase's goosebumps rose.

The female colleagues' reactions were generally stronger than male colleagues', especially since any one of them could be the next target for Chase's articles.
The male reporters also shook their heads in disapproval of his actions. It was bad enough that he neglected his main job, but turning around and writing such things was a disgrace to New Capital Times. What Chase did was very wrong. Even if he had a grudge against Rita, he should not have resorted to such low tactics to smear her.
