"I was the one who brought everything on myself."
"Don't say that about yourself, Eevonne," Kingston comforted her.
Eevonne shook her head. "That truly was my unforgivable mistake. I truly had brought it on myself. I originally thought that asking
for a raise could ease my financial strain. My salary indeed was raised, and I was promoted, but there was a three months
probation period. In those three months, if I could do the job well, only then would my salary be raised as high as the amount that
the human resource department had promised me. Also, only then could I truly keep my position. Initially, to the human resource
department and my direct superior, that wasn't anything difficult. It was just a formality. That's because, to a person who is
proficient in Spanish, it would be the easiest task for them.
However, to me, it was as hard as doing the impossible. However, I didn't dare to ask anybody in the company for help as I was
afraid I would give myself away. Later, I paid a fortune to hire a professional translator. Just one single order with only a few
pages, I had to spend a few thousand dollars hiring a professional translator to translate for me."
"Gosh, then wouldn't your salary..." Kingston had almost figured out the consequences.
"That's right. The raise that I got not only did not ease my pressure but because I had to spend money to hire an external
translator, it made it even more difficult for me to make ends meet. Not only that but there was an even more troublesome matter.
The orders that our company received can't actually be finalized in just one sitting. We needed to communicate with the client a
few times, and every time, there would be different revisions. It would be on the lesser end if a single order was revised a couple
of times, and it could go as many as five or six times. Even though the majority of the contents were the same, with every
revision, I still needed a professional translator to help me translate, when I pay for the professional translator, they wouldn't only Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
charge me for the revised parts just because the majority of the contents were the same. They charge me by the number of times
they have to translate. In that situation, my debt accumulated to as high as five thousand dollars after a month. At that time, I was
already very tight on money. I was already spending as little as I could on food every day. Also, the matter became a huge
burden on my mind that almost suffocated me. The kind of mental pressure was already severely affecting my work. Also, my
company started to pick up on something. Every time we received an order, I could not translate them at any time in the
company. Instead, I had to bring it home, when I was only one month away from being officially promoted, the human resource
department and my superior started to take notice of me. At first, they were only investigating me in secret."
"They found out about your fake diploma?" Kingston asked.
Eevonne shook her head. "No, they found that I sold the company's confidential information and the transfer pricing of the
company was sold to another company in the same line."
Kingston was shocked. "Th-This is breaking the law, but you didn't do such a thing. They misunderstood you. You were actually
just spending money to hire a translator, right?"
Eevonne shook her head once again. "No..."
Kingston looked at her incredulously. This time, his tone was slightly harsh. "Eevonne, don't tell me that in order to pay back the
money you owe, you really took the company's confidential information out and sold it to the rival company. This...this is an action
that's breaking the law!"
Eevonne raised her head and looked at him. "Kingston, do you think that of me as well? I know. It's my fault. Everybody, let alone
you, thought that of me. I didn't even have the right to defend myself because it was truly my fault. At the very least, I was the
cause of it all."
Kingston was stunned. "You didn't do that?"
Eevonne looked at him with tears in her eyes, "of course, not. It was the translator I got from the professional translation
company that had secretly sold our information at a high price. Later, I also proved the matter, so the translator was prosecuted
by law.
However..."
