Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, her breath hitching as she bit down on her lip, struggling to find the words that had all but evaporated.

The bodyguards, imposing and unyielding, seized her and began to pull her away, their grip firm and unrelenting. I turned my attention to Cody, who stood there, a picture of unease.

“Your turn, Mr. Godlock,” I declared, my voice slicing through the tension like a knife.

In an instant, Cody’s demeanor shifted; he stiffened, his complexion draining to an ashen gray.

“Miss Getty, please, this is all a terrible misunderstanding,” he stammered, his voice quaking with desperation. “I was misled by that… that Sadie. We worked side by side for a year; you know my character. Everything I did was for the benefit of the company. Truly, I have always admired your exceptional talent.”

I regarded him with a cold, humorless laugh. “Admired? You mean by stripping me of my title as top salesperson, reallocating my $70,000 bonus to someone else, and publicly humiliating me in front of the entire company? Not to mention turning a five-dollar meal into evidence of my so-called ‘gluttony and waste’?”

My gaze bore into his, icy and unyielding. “Mr. Godlock, your brand of admiration is downright cheap!”

Panic surged across his features, beads of sweat forming on his brow.

“Well… I… I was influenced by that little witch. I never intended to complicate your life. At the time, we all believed she was the CEO’s daughter; we were too intimidated to challenge her. Had I known you were actually Mr. Modine’s niece and that she was lying, I would have thrown her out on her ear.”

I fixed him with a piercing stare, my voice low and dangerous. “And if I had told you the truth, would you have believed me?”

His lips twitched, caught in a struggle between silence and the truth that hung in the air like a storm cloud.

“Mr. Godlock, I want you to state this before everyone gathered here. Am I, Phoebe Tuffield, genuinely deserving of the title of top salesperson? Do I merit that $70,000 bonus?”

He capitulated almost instantly, as if the weight of my question had shattered his defenses.

“Miss Getty has been with the company for a year and has performed admirably. The title of top salesperson is rightfully hers. Not just $70,000—even five million wouldn’t suffice to reflect your true worth.”

He attempted a smile, one that felt forced and insincere. “Phoebe, now that everything is clarified, we’ve all been victims in this mess. Your resignation hasn’t gone through yet, so technically, you’re still on the payroll. Come back to work, and I’ll promote you to sales director. The title of top salesperson is yours, and I’ll transfer the $70,000 to you right away. Let’s talk to Mr. Modine and finalize the contract.”

To my utter disbelief, he actually initiated the transfer of the full bonus.

I nearly choked on my disdain—after everything, he still believed I would partner with CipherLux Innovations? What kind of delusion was this man living in?

I fixed him with a hard stare and asked, “Mr. Godlock, do you genuinely think I’m fixated on this $70,000? Is that the reason I pulled out of our deal?”

He faltered, his confidence crumbling. “N-No, isn’t it?”

Before I could respond, my uncle interjected, his voice calm yet authoritative.

“Of course not. Phoebe holds a 20% stake in CipherLux Innovations. Her annual dividends amount to billions. The Getty family fortune is in the tens of billions, and she is their only heir. Seventy thousand? That’s hardly more than a month’s allowance for her. Do you truly believe she cares about your measly $70,000?”

Cody’s face turned a deep shade of crimson, shame flooding him as he realized the magnitude of his blunder; he had just let slip a golden opportunity, a walking treasure.

I turned back to him, a smirk playing on my lips.

“Mr. Godlock, I chose your company over my uncle’s not for the financial gain, but to push my limits. I could have easily returned to my family business and taken over as soon as my internship was completed. But I couldn’t abandon the career I painstakingly built, nor could I forsake the leaders who once recognized my potential.

“However, Cody, after everything that transpired with Sadie, I see you for who you truly are—and I see your company for what it is. You do not deserve my loyalty, and you certainly do not deserve to be a partner of CipherLux Innovations. A company that sacrifices its employees for profit is destined to be devoured by the market.”

I snatched the $70,000 bonus from the table, holding it up before him.

“And,” I added, casting a soft smile at my uncle, “I couldn’t care less about the bonus. This is not what I sought. What I wanted was fairness.”

I turned to my uncle, a determined glint in my eye. “Your turn, Uncle.”

He returned my gaze with a knowing smile, lifted the phone, and uttered a single, decisive command.

“Completely shut down Godlock Company. Leave nothing intact.”

Cody barely had time to comprehend the implications of that statement before the phone began to ring incessantly.

“Sir, we have bad news—the Murdochs have canceled the contract.”

“Sir, the Hapsburgs are demanding one hundred million in damages.”

“Sir, the company stock has hit its daily limit down.”

Cody stood frozen, his complexion shifting from white to blue, then to a deep, sickly gray.

He muttered to himself, “It’s over… It’s over… it’s all over.”

Meanwhile, Sadie, who had squandered her ill-gotten gains, found herself sentenced to a decade behind bars, having obliterated the life she could have had.

Whispers Moving Across Ages Unite Souls Through Endless Silence by Asa River Knox

1. A Dinner Meant for Celebration Turns Toxic

The story begins on the night of a highly anticipated company dinner. For most employees, such events are a small break from the exhausting pressures of deadlines, meetings, and demanding clients. Each person is allowed to order a dish—something simple, yet meaningful, a small freedom in a work environment that often lacks it.

The protagonist, Phoebe, sits at the table, prepared to place her order like everyone else. However, the new intern Sadie abruptly snatches the menu from Phoebe’s hands, as though she holds some authority over what others can choose to eat. Her tone is sharp, arrogant, and dripping with an entitlement that stuns Phoebe.

Sadie’s declaration—“No more ordering”—is not a polite suggestion but an authoritarian command.

Phoebe, refusing to be intimidated, simply turns to the waiter and calmly places her order for Mac and cheese. But Sadie’s reaction is explosive. She slaps the menu across Phoebe’s face, an act of humiliation meant to reassert power and dominance in front of everyone present.

2. The Spark of Conflict: Sadie’s Entitlement

Sadie’s aggressive behavior exposes the deep entitlement she carries. She berates Phoebe openly, questioning who she is to dare defy her. She claims superiority as if her position as an intern places her above all others, including experienced employees who have earned their place through effort and dedication.

When Phoebe’s temper snaps, she grabs the menu and strikes Sadie back—an instinctual response to the disrespect. Sadie shrieks dramatically, immediately shifting into the role of a victim.

That’s when Sadie reveals her supposed trump card:
“Do you have any idea who I am? My father is Wesley Modine—our company’s biggest client!”

Her tone is filled with pride and threat. She claims even the CEO shows her respect, boasting that she can have Phoebe’s title revoked and blacklist her from the entire industry.

Phoebe freezes—not from fear, but from confusion. Wesley Modine is her biological uncle. And yet, she had no idea that this forty-year-old unmarried man had a daughter old enough to be working as an intern.

The realization is jarring.

3. Sadie’s Cruel Words and Phoebe’s Hidden Strength

Seeing Phoebe’s silence, Sadie smirks, believing she has frightened her into submission. She insults Phoebe further, calling her a “gold digger,” claiming Phoebe relies on her looks to earn sales instead of real skill. The accusation is beyond absurd—Phoebe works tirelessly, waking before dawn, drafting proposals, visiting construction sites, and burning under the sun until even her mother barely recognizes her tan.

Yet Sadie reduces all her hard work to superficial charm.

Phoebe finally stands and confronts Sadie with fiery confidence. She makes it clear she has earned her place through hard work, not beauty or favoritism. She mocks Sadie’s foul attitude and calls out her hypocrisy—for claiming Phoebe isn’t “qualified” to order while behaving like a tyrant at a simple dinner.

Phoebe’s coworkers quietly laugh, not out of cruelty, but relief. They have all suffered under Sadie’s terrible behavior for the past month. Sadie’s reputation is notorious—arrogant, disrespectful, and abusive.

Phoebe recalls the incident where Sadie poured scalding hot coffee on Meg Wheeler, a new employee, simply because Meg refused to run errands for her. Meg ended up with blisters and no apology. The company covered hospital bills, and though Phoebe wanted to defend Meg, everyone warned her to stay back—they were afraid of Sadie’s powerful connections.

Now, Phoebe understands why.

4. The Breaking Point

Sadie escalates her insults, calling Phoebe names and insisting that the company only exists thanks to her father’s influence. She claims authority over the entire dinner, dictating who can and cannot order food. Her arrogance fills the room, suffocating the atmosphere.

The waiter, caught in the middle, asks quietly whether he should take Phoebe’s order.

“Yes,” Phoebe replies firmly, refusing to surrender basic respect.

It enrages Sadie further. Phoebe is left baffled at the absurdity—after generating millions in revenue for the company, she is being denied the simple right to order a single dish due to an intern’s tantrum.

Just then, a stern voice cuts through the tension: Cody Godlock, the CEO, enters.

5. The CEO’s Intervention — or Lack Thereof

Cody walks in with authority, clearly displeased at the commotion. He demands an explanation. Before Phoebe can speak, Sadie rushes to him, distorting the story entirely to cast herself as the victim and Phoebe as the problem.

Cody listens—too quickly, too eagerly—and then turns on Phoebe. He reprimands her for not understanding the company’s “principle of frugality,” suggesting that Sadie was merely looking out for corporate values.

He brushes aside Phoebe’s effort, her dedication, her achievements. The emotional weight of the moment sinks in: her year of hard work means nothing in the face of Sadie’s family connections. Phoebe realizes she is standing alone—again—as the room’s power dynamics crush fairness under entitlement.

Frustration, disbelief, and disappointment crash over her like a wave. Once again, she sees how twisted hierarchy and nepotism can be.

6. A Deeper Look Into Company Culture

This single dinner represents the broader social environment within the workplace. Sadie functionally runs the office through fear. Anyone who dares oppose her becomes a target. Meg Wheeler’s burn incident shows the dangerous extent of Sadie’s impulsive cruelty. Employees whisper behind her back but remain silent in front of her, afraid of professional retaliation.

Phoebe, though hardworking and respected by her peers, is also trapped in the company’s flawed structure. The CEO’s immediate dismissal of her position proves how deeply rooted favoritism is. The safety and well-being of the staff are secondary to preserving the goodwill of Wesley Modine’s business relationship.

Sadie exploits this reality with ease. She weaponizes her father’s name to control others, even though her father himself may not support her behavior. Her power comes from perception, not actual authority. Yet in a workplace built on hierarchy and fear, perception alone is enough.

Phoebe’s rising frustration reflects the injustice of a system that rewards arrogance over integrity.

7. The Hidden Connection — A Twist in the Power Dynamics

When Sadie threatens Phoebe using Wesley Modine’s name, Phoebe’s shock reveals a deeper twist. Wesley is not just a famous client—he is Phoebe’s uncle. This revelation hints at a complicated family history. It raises countless questions:

Why does Phoebe not know about Sadie’s existence?
Did Wesley hide his daughter?
Is Sadie lying?
Could this be a misunderstanding or a manipulation?
Will Wesley recognize what his daughter is doing in his name?

This twist sets the stage for future conflicts—conflicts rooted in family secrets, corporate politics, and the collision between privilege and merit.

Phoebe’s silence, misinterpreted by Sadie as fear, is actually shock. Her family ties run deeper than anyone in the room knows. If revealed, this truth could flip the entire power structure of the company—and perhaps even Sadie’s illusions of control.

8. Phoebe’s Inner Strength

Despite everything, Phoebe refuses to be a victim. Every insult Sadie hurls becomes fuel for Phoebe’s resolve. She stands her ground, refusing to let an intern bully her into submission. Her refusal to back down shows her strength of character, sharpened by years of real work and real struggle.

Phoebe is someone who has:

woken up before dawn to create complex proposals,
spent hours in the heat at construction sites,
built her position through sweat and grit,
overcome challenges without leaning on connections.

Sadie, in contrast, has never worked for anything. She believes privilege equals power. Phoebe’s very existence threatens that illusion.

9. The Fragility of Corporate Loyalty

The CEO’s reaction exposes another harsh truth: loyalty in corporate environments often depends on influence, not performance. Phoebe’s year of dedication is nothing compared to Sadie’s single statement.

Cody Godlock’s warning frames the situation as if Phoebe is the offender and Sadie the responsible one. It shows just how deeply favoritism warps justice.

For Phoebe, this is a humiliating realization. She is not being judged by effort but by hierarchy. She is not valued for competence but overshadowed by privilege.

Her anger and frustration rise—but so does her clarity. She now understands the true dynamics at play.

10. Conclusion — A Turning Point

The dinner scene becomes a defining moment for Phoebe. She stands against unjust authority, exposes a toxic intern’s behavior, and faces corporate favoritism head-on. Yet beneath the confrontation lies a deeper story waiting to unfold—a story involving hidden family connections, buried truths, and the imbalance between merit and privilege.

This night marks the beginning of a shift in Phoebe’s life.
She is no longer willing to be silent.
She is no longer willing to be overshadowed.

And when the truth about Wesley Modine and her connection to him comes to light, the entire company—and Sadie herself—will face consequences they never expected.

Phoebe may have been dismissed tonight, but her strength is only beginning to surface. What was meant to be a simple dinner has ignited the first spark of change in a story filled with tension, power, identity, and buried family history.
