"Miss Jones, if your company can’t afford proper gifts, then don’t bother sending them! You’ve humiliated me, and I’m canceling our partnership!"The furious voice on the other end of the line left me momentarily stunned. I didn’t understand what was going on, but I kept a polite tone, trying to appease him. “Please, Mr. Lowe, was there an issue with the gift? My sincerest apologies. This must have been a mistake from someone on my team. Don’t hold it against me. Let me prepare two sets of gifts for you. We’ve worked together for so many years…” He interrupted me angrily. His voice rose sharply, cutting me off. "Miss Jones, you specifically promised me an authentic premium Darjeeling tea. I presented it to the investors, only for them to call it a cheap counterfeit on the spot! The deal fell through! Tell me, how am I supposed to salvage my reputation? And who’s going to cover my losses?"All I could do was repeatedly apologize and promise a higher discount margin on future deals

To ensure everyone could enjoy their holiday break, the entire team was working overtime to meet the deadline. Just as we were about to finish, the power suddenly went out. “What’s going on?” “What happened? My proposal! I didn’t save it!” “Quick, check the circuit breaker!” The office descended into chaos. Then Mandy strolled in, calm as ever, looking down at us with an air of superiority. “Do you think the company’s electricity is free? Stop trying to take advantage of company resources! If your work isn’t finished, that’s on you for being inefficient. Why don’t you all just work from home? “As long as you’re using company electricity, I have every right to cut the power. Hmph, someone needs to fix your bad habits! Air conditioning, computers, even charging your phones—do you have any idea how expensive commercial electricity is?” I had enough. Slamming my hand on the desk, I stood up and pointed a finger at her, my voice boiling with anger. “Mandy Watson, are you ou

“I heard you’re unemployed and single now?” A lazy, teasing voice came through the phone. I sighed. “Sis, your intel is almost scarily accurate.” “Move back home. I’ll come pick you up,” she said in a tone that left no room for argument. I agreed without hesitation. Half an hour later, I was sitting in the passenger seat of her sleek black Mercedes G-Wagon. I prepared myself for her usual teasing, but instead, she reached over, gently ran her fingers through my hair, and stayed silent.“Sis…” My voice broke, tears threatening to fall. “What’s there to cry about? Stop being so pathetic. He’s just some trashy guy!” She shot me a sharp glare, full of disdain. I blinked, caught off guard, and then finally let out a laugh through my tears.

I sat in my office, sipping coffee as I read through the day’s financial news."Noxin Technologies' entire core tech team resigned, investors pulled out, and several game operations hit major issues. Partners began canceling contracts, and now Noxin is facing huge compensation claims."I couldn’t help but smirk. The news didn’t surprise me.Daniel’s arrogance and authoritarian style had long caused discontent among his team. If I hadn’t been meditating for him all this time, the employees would have left long ago. The company wouldn’t have lasted this long. As for the investors, they had only backed him because of me. Now that I was gone, it was no surprise they weren’t giving Daniel the time of day. And the partners? I had personally maintained each one of those relationships.
