"Eighty-six thousand dollars?!"

Several coworkers practically collapsed into their chairs at the number.

Wesley suddenly snapped out of his daze. He hurriedly slapped the agreement he had just signed onto the table and shrieked, "Pay? Why should we pay? Didn't we just sign a yearlong partnership agreement? The restaurant owner personally promised us that tonight's meal would be free if we signed the contract!

"Free! The restaurant owner promised that as long as we signed a one-year agreement,

    Eventually, someone called the police. The officers forcibly separated the two and took them both to the station.As the rightful owner of the watch, I brought the proof of purchase and the boutique's reservation records to file a police report.When Joyce saw me, she struggled desperately as if I were her last hope."Griffin! Tell the police what really happened! We were a couple! I only borrowed the watch for a while!"Without changing my expression, I placed the receipt and the boutique's pickup footage on the table."We've already broken up. She took a valuable item belonging to me without my permission, gave it to someone else, and it was then sold off for cash. I want to file a formal theft complaint."The officers checked the records and determined the nature of the case on the spot.At 30,000 dollars, the value of the watch met the threshold for a serious theft case. Joyce would have to repay the money and could also face prison time. Wesley was in trouble as well. He

    After announcing my promotion, the department head sent the legal department to secure all the relevant files in our department.The client's claim for damages would be investigated and handled through the proper legal channels.Just then, Max arrived with several staff members and placed a thick stack of expense reports on the table."Wesley was the person responsible for ordering meals. He personally approved all the expenses that exceeded the budget and signed the department's liability agreement. He's required to repay the tens of thousands of dollars in unauthorized company expenses first."Wesley's expression changed instantly. "Why should I be the one paying? I wasn't the only person eating those meals!""You're the primary person responsible. As for everyone else who ate the meals, the excess charges will be deducted from their monthly salaries in installments according to their actual consumption."The room erupted in outrage.Some coworkers cried that they had only eat

    I ignored them and headed straight for the private dining room door.Joyce, furious and humiliated, tried to chase after me. "You aren't going anywhere until you hand over the money!"Before she could get close, the two security guards at the entrance rushed forward and pinned her firmly against the table.The server pulled out his walkie-talkie, his voice turning icy. "Ma'am, if you don't settle the bill immediately, we will have no choice but to call the police."I walked out without looking back. Behind me came the crash of shattered plates, followed by Joyce's hysterical screams."Let go of me! Wesley was the one who arranged this meal! If you want money, go after him! What does this have to do with us? He tricked us! If the police show up, we'll tell them he committed fraud!""Joyce, you were the one egging him on! You had no complaints when you were enjoying all that expensive food. Now that the bill is 80,000 dollars, you want to pretend none of this ever happened?"As I

    "Eighty-six thousand dollars?!"Several coworkers practically collapsed into their chairs at the number.Wesley suddenly snapped out of his daze. He hurriedly slapped the agreement he had just signed onto the table and shrieked, "Pay? Why should we pay? Didn't we just sign a yearlong partnership agreement? The restaurant owner personally promised us that tonight's meal would be free if we signed the contract!"Free! The restaurant owner promised that as long as we signed a one-year agreement, tonight's dinner would be on the house!"The server picked up the agreement and glanced through it before nodding. "That's correct. The agreement has been signed, and tonight's meal can indeed be treated as a complimentary tasting."Wesley finally breathed a sigh of relief.However, the server flipped to the appendix and continued. "However, according to the terms of the agreement, you must pay a deposit of 120,000 dollars on the spot for the contract to take effect. In other words, tonight'

    "W-What is this?!"The cheers in the private dining room died instantly. As everyone stared at the numbers on their phone screens, their faces drained of color.Joyce glared at her screen and shot to her feet."What's going on? Why is my paycheck zero? And what's this red number underneath it? It says I owe the company 98,000 dollars!""I owe the company 73,000 dollars too! How is that even possible? There must be a bug in the payroll system!"I opened my own pay stub. My salary had come through as usual, with only my performance bonus reduced to the minimum amount.Then I checked everyone else's screens. Almost everyone in the department owed the company tens of thousands of dollars. Wesley had racked up the biggest debt of all, a staggering 186,000 dollars.Not only had he ordered the most expensive meals every day, but he had also signed off a second time on every invoice that exceeded the budget, acting as the person responsible for the department's expenses.Wesley stared

    Everyone exchanged bewildered looks.Wesley froze for a moment, then followed the finance manager.A few minutes later, he returned and waved a hand dismissively. "Relax, everyone. We've just been eating too well over the past two weeks, so the system flagged our expenses for exceeding the budget."I took a quick look. All the receipts are legitimate restaurant expenses. I've already signed off on them as normal departmental spending. I will take full responsibility, so everyone can keep eating whatever they want without worrying."Joyce let out a relieved sigh. "See? I told you Wesley always knows what he is doing."My coworkers nodded along.I sat at my desk without saying a word. That had not been a routine approval at all. It was a second authorization required for expenses that exceeded the usual limit.The following day was payday.Wesley sent a message in the company group chat and tagged everyone.[To celebrate successfully passing my probation period, I'm taking every
