“Are you seriously suggesting that I should apologize to her? And on top of that, pay her ten thousand dollars for emotional damages? This is outrageous!”
I couldn’t suppress a laugh that bubbled up from disbelief as I stared incredulously at him.
“Sir… you’re genuinely asking me to do that?”
Cody’s expression shifted, darkening like a storm cloud gathering on the horizon. Meg, sensing the tension, quickly tugged at my sleeve, her voice a quiet plea.
“Phoebe, please, just let it go. Sadie is Mr. Modine’s daughter; you really don’t want to get on her bad side. And Sir Cody is relying on her to finalize the deal with their company this time around.”
I scoffed, the sound escaping my lips like a defiant challenge.
“So, just because she claims her father is Wesley Modine, you all take her at her word? Did she even provide any proof when she started?”
With a determined flick, Meg pulled out her phone and began scrolling through Sadie’s social media.
“Look, it’s all here. Mr. Modine himself brought her in on her first day.”
I leaned closer, my eyes widening as I took in the image before me. There stood my impeccably dressed, upright boss next to a luxurious car, and beside him…
Sadie.
She had even added a caption that dripped with familiarity.
[Thanks Dad for taking time out of his busy schedule to see me off for my internship. I promise, I won’t let you down.]
A rush of frustration surged through me, compelling me to call my uncle. But all I heard was the cold, mechanical tone of a disconnected line, echoing my growing despair.
Seeing my refusal to back down, Sadie shot me a malevolent smile.
“Phoebe, you’ll regret this. Just wait—I’ll make sure you pay for it!”
The very next day, her threat materialized.
At the awards ceremony, the top sales award—and the accompanying seventy-thousand-dollar bonus that should have rightfully been mine—was awarded to her.
The projector still displayed my name during the acceptance speech; it hadn’t even been updated.
This felt like a blatant act of theft, and a seething anger ignited within me.
I stood up, my heart pounding as I demanded answers.
“What are the criteria for determining the top sales? My projects this month generated over one hundred million in revenue, bringing in tens of millions for the company. I outperformed the second-place contender by five million in profit. Sadie didn’t even secure a single order! So, I ask all of you leaders gathered here… why is the top sales award going to her?”
Silence enveloped the room like a heavy fog, thick and suffocating.
The finance director exchanged uneasy glances with the sales VP, both of them seemingly paralyzed by fear, neither willing to speak up.
Sadie, on the other hand, regarded me with an arrogant smirk.
“Well, your projects weren’t exactly… above board. The company can’t condone such unethical behavior.
“For now, we’re just revoking your award. But if you continue to use dubious tactics that tarnish the company’s reputation, you’ll find yourself out of a job next.”
My body trembled with rage, my eyes darting around the stage, searching for support from the leaders who had once lauded my skills and potential. Now, they avoided my gaze, heads bowed in submission.
Finally, I turned my attention to Cody, the top executive.
“Sir… is this truly your decision as well?”
Being publicly called out clearly ruffled his feathers; his frown deepened, impatience etched on his face.
“Phoebe, the company has its own considerations. Don’t let a minor issue spoil the awards ceremony. You need to focus on the bigger picture.”
“The bigger picture?” My voice trembled with indignation, my eyes blazing with fury.
“So the bigger picture means I toil endlessly throughout the year, working late into the night, pouring my heart and soul into projects—and all my accomplishments go to someone else?
“Because of some unfounded rumor from her, all my hard work is wiped away, and you all stand idly by?
“Tell me, where is the fairness in that? Where is the justice? Do you not feel any guilt treating someone who has contributed so much to this company in such a manner?”
Cody was left speechless, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. But Sadie, devoid of any shame, tilted her chin up defiantly.
“Fairness?” She sneered, her voice dripping with condescension. “Phoebe, don’t be so naive. In this world, power dictates fairness. That’s the reality.”
