As I left the office, a figure stumbled into
view.
Becky was being dragged away by security,
her clothes torn, her hair a mess.
She thrashed when she saw me.
“Susan!”
“This is all your fault!”
“You ruined my career! You ruined
everything!”
I kept my distance.
“Becky, you’ve got it all wrong.”
<
“You were fired because you were
incompetent.“.
“Your ideas were stolen garbage from the
internet.”
Her face went pale.
“You only got the job in the first place
because you played the victim and milked
Michael for sympathy.”
“You’re a manipulative bitch who sleeps with
⚫ men to get ahead.”
“You thought you were untouchable because
Michael was protecting you. You are
garbage!”
Becky snapped.
く
“Shut up! I’ll kill you!”
She lunged, but security pulled her down.
I stepped towards her and stomped on her
hand.
“If you ever come near me again, I will make
you regret you were born.”
“You’re insignificant. You can pray.”
She screamed, collapsing into hysterics.
Security dragged her away.
That night, someone leaked compromising
photos of Becky.
She was back to her old tricks.
I hadn’t ordered it, but people were eager to
impress me.
Sterling’s father banned Becky, making her
unemployable.
Eventually, she returned to her old life.
Within a month, she was dead.
As for me, I signed three major deals, and my
company flourished.
I was named “Most Influential Entrepreneur”
of the year.
Michael began rebuilding Sterling Corp.
He appeared in business news, his eyes
weary, his face lined.
