Euphemism or Joke?

Tadaa!!~ I’m the Best Employee of the Month of August (BEOTM)! I want to thank to my dear boss Esther who nominated me! The reward is a cash cheque of $200!!! So happy happy!
I have no intention to share about me being nominated for the BEOTM with my colleagues, in case those sensitive ones think I’m boastful. But it just happened that my boss passed this cheque to me at my desk and ’Z' learnt about it. She congratulated to me and said I deserved this reward. I was like ”Ehh.. okay.. thanks.”
Then later before she left for the day, she jokingly told me to go back early, don’t stay late for work, don’t fight for the next BEOTM with ‘V’ as the both of us always stay late for work and give ‘V’ the chance to be the next BEOTM. I replied to her that staying late for work doesn’t mean you are the best but the quality of the work that counts.
I really don’t fancy her joke at all. Although she said “just joking lah”… but it sounds like euphemism. And passing such “kidding” remarks is not her first time. I’m so sick of entertaining her. I don’t want to be rude and hope she can totally stop talking to me.
I miss the previous team where Val and Harriet was around. We worked in peace and no politics. Sighs. Ever since the new blood joined, so many things happened. Shitty.
The coming Monday I will be doing my yearly appraisal with my boss. I don’t know what’s in store for me but I hope good news coming to my way!!! Keeping my fingers crossed on this!
