“You want justice? Then go find yourself a rich dad to fight for you. Too bad—you don’t have one.”
The disdain dripped from her words, and there was no attempt to mask the contempt that twisted her features. “But I do,” she countered, her voice icy as a winter’s night. “I am the daughter of Wesley Modine, the CEO of CipherLux Innovations. With that identity alone, I can crush you so hard you’ll never get back up!”
As I stood there, taken aback, I couldn’t help but marvel at the audacity that radiated from her. Where did she find such confidence? It was almost as if she believed her lineage could shield her from the harsh realities of the workplace.
For a fleeting moment, I found myself questioning my own uncle. Could it be that he had fathered an illegitimate child, hidden away from the family? The thought was absurd, yet it lingered in the back of my mind like a stubborn whisper.
Without thinking, I blurted out, “I heard Mr. Modine has a niece he treats like his own daughter. Tell me, Miss Sales-Champion Modine, have you met her?”
Her expression flickered, a brief moment of surprise crossing her face before she quickly masked it with a look of disdain.
“That’s my cousin,” she replied, her tone dripping with condescension. “Of course, I’ve seen her. But she’s been living overseas for years, hardly ever comes back. Even I barely see her. Someone like you—a low-class nobody—shouldn’t even dream about it.”
I couldn’t help but let out a short, mocking laugh. “Is that so? If the Sales Champion isn’t ‘low-class,’ then why did she steal someone else’s title and bonus? Don’t tell me… you’re the fake heiress?”
Her face darkened, a storm of fury brewing in her eyes. “Bitch!” she spat, her glare sharp enough to cut. “Phoebe! Don’t push your luck. Your title was revoked because you didn’t deserve it. I earned mine with real skill!”
“Skill?” I stepped closer, locking eyes with her. “You mean the ‘skill’ of playing games at your desk every day? The ‘skill’ of taking two-hour lunch breaks and clocking out exactly at five? Or maybe the ‘skill’ of spending an entire day typing only the words ‘Project Plan’ into an empty PowerPoint?”
I wasn’t rushing my words, but each one landed with a precision that made her flinch.
She opened her mouth, but no sound emerged. Desperation painted her features as she turned to Cody, seeking an ally.
His expression was a mix of disbelief and disappointment, the classic can’t-believe-how-useless-you-are look. He shifted his attention to me, his voice dropping to a low, serious tone.
“Phoebe! Watch your mouth. This is a company, not a fish market. You don’t get to yell and scream here. And don’t think that just because you brought in a few projects in the past you can do whatever you want. Survival of the fittest. If someone better replaces you, accept it. Don’t make a scene!”
At that moment, every eye in the room turned towards me, an audience waiting for the impending spectacle of my humiliation over a mere $70,000 bonus.
Seventy thousand?
I wouldn’t have cared if it were five million.
What I sought was not money; it was fairness.
I didn’t explode. I didn’t engage in a heated argument. Instead, I let out a cold, sarcastic laugh that echoed in the tense air.
“Fine. I accept it. A sales champion should indeed belong to someone more ‘competent.'”
As I sank back into my chair, a wave of notifications flooded my screen from HR.
[Employee Phoebe Tuffield used company funds for extravagant meals, severely violating company regulations. Effective immediately, Ms. Tuffield is removed from the Sales Manager position and suspended for reflection.]
[Intern Sadie Modine bravely defended the company’s interests and has shown outstanding performance during her internship, creating huge profit for the company. Effective immediately, she is promoted to full-time and appointed as the new Sales Manager, taking over all of Ms. Tuffield’s projects.]
Moments later, Cody tagged me in the group chat, his words biting and humiliating.
[@Phoebe—wasteful and undisciplined. This month’s bonus will be deducted. Handwrite a 10,000-word reflection and post it here for everyone to learn from.]
The sting of humiliation washed over me like ice water.
They had stripped me of my title, seized my bonus, and turned me into the company’s cautionary tale, parading my “failure” as a spectacle meant to boost their authority.
The group chat fell into an eerie silence, the office atmosphere thick with tension.
People stole glances my way; some wore expressions of sympathy, others seethed in anger on my behalf, while a few relished the unfolding drama.
The message remained pinned at the top, a constant reminder of my fall from grace, as if everyone was waiting for me to bow my head in shame and admit my faults.
Then, like a relentless wave, Cody tagged me again.
[@Phoebe. Didn’t you see it?]
I remained silent, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response.
Had he lost his mind? He continued tagging me, each notification a hammering reminder of my disgrace.
Then, out of the blue, Meg sent me a private message.
[Phoebe, stop being stubborn. Just give in a little. Your work is more important.]
