After Rebirth, I Let the Intern Dig Her Own Grave Chapter 10
"Why would I stop you?"I straightened my jacket cuffs and spoke quietly enough to be frightening."Wasn't it a textbook viral growth hack? Didn't you call it next-level disruption?""I gave you a stage. I handed you every access credential you asked for. I even let the whole company witness your big moment."I looked down at her, a thin, cold smile on my face."What's wrong? Can't handle it when the genius idea turns into a trainwreck?""Cassie, here's what you need to understand.""In this world, stupidity and arrogance have a price. And your price is spending the rest of your life paying back nine million dollars."Cassie shattered completely.She crumpled to the floor, hands over her face, letting out a sound that had no dignity left in it."I'm done... it's all gone..."I didn't say another word. I pressed the intercom on my desk."Security, please escort this person out. If someone lets a visitor like this through again, don't bother coming in."Two guards stepped in and peeled C

Three months later.A cold autumn wind swept through the skyscrapers downtown.I sat in the regional president's office at Nova Commerce, the industry's largest player, reviewing the latest quarterly financials.After walking away from that smoking wreck of a company, I'd leveraged years of real operational experience and an unblemished track record, and a headhunter from Nova Commerce had come calling with an offer I didn't have to think twice about."Erin." My assistant Sophie knocked and poked her head in, her expression a little uncertain. "There's a woman downstairs insisting on seeing you. Security's turned her away multiple times but she won't leave. She says she knows you, her name is Cassie. She seems... not quite right."My hand paused over the file I was reviewing."Send her up."Ten minutes later, the office door opened.I almost didn't recognize her.Cassie was wearing a dirty old coat. Her once-sleek hair hung in tangled clumps around her shoulders. Her face was sallow, h

The police took Cassie, David, and Jason, the company's legal representative, with them.The ops floor went quiet. Only the fans of a few computers that hadn't been turned off still hummed in the dark.By the next morning, word had spread through the entire office that the company's accounts had been frozen by the courts.The cash pipeline was completely dead. They couldn't cover next month's rent, let alone payroll.The same coworkers who'd been dropping Cassie fan comments in the Slack chat just last night now shuffled around looking deflated and pale.They clustered in small groups outside my office door, peering in.I was packing my personal things into a cardboard box, one item at a time.Jake was the first to cave. He walked in with red eyes."Erin... you're leaving?"I didn't look up. I tucked a few professional books into the box."The company's going into bankruptcy proceedings. What am I supposed to do, stay for Christmas?"Jake's tears spilled over."Erin, we were all stupid

"Jason! Jason!"The floor became chaos, someone was doing compressions, someone else had already called 911.Cassie sat slumped on the ground, her mascara streaked halfway down her face, her hair a mess.She stared blankly at the GMV counter, which had stopped jumping and settled on a number that looked like a sick joke.Negative $18 million.That was the company's actual cash deficit.Jason came to under a huddle of people trying to help him. He shoved them off the second he opened his eyes and lurched toward my desk.He wrenched a drawer open and tore through it like a man who'd lost something he couldn't afford to lose."The agreement, where is the liability agreement?"Jason's eyes were red, locked on the desk."Erin, where is the full-liability form you had them sign this afternoon?"I walked to the safe and handed it over.Jason grabbed it out of my hand and stared at the signatures. Then he turned around and held it in Cassie's and David's faces."Both of you! In writing! Black

Every pair of eyes in the room swung toward me.I set down my cup and looked up at her."Oh? What exactly did I do?"Cassie lunged at my desk and planted both hands on it, her eyes wild."You touched the backend code, didn't you!""You were jealous that I took the spotlight, jealous that Jason believed in me instead of you!""So you planted a backdoor in the system and let those bots in on purpose, just to watch me crash and burn!"The more she talked, the more airtight it seemed to her. She spun toward Jason, still sprawled on the floor."Jason, you have to believe me! My campaign was solid. It's Erin who rigged the system behind my back!""She has a dev background. She's the only one who could pull something like this off!"Jason's head jerked up. He fixed me with a hard glare."Erin! You tanked the whole company just to kneecap a junior employee? You get the money back. Right now."I exhaled slowly.Honestly? The collective stupidity in this room was almost impressive.I opened my b

The room went dead silent.The red numbers on the screen were still jumping wildly, casting a harsh glow across everyone's frozen faces.Champagne dripped off the edge of the table and soaked quietly into the carpet.Cassie blinked, then let out a short laugh."Tom, what are you even talking about?"She walked over and kicked the scattered report with her toe, completely unbothered."Out of money? That just means the orders blew up faster than our cash reserves. We'll go to the bank tomorrow with these numbers and get a bridge loan, literally a one-hour conversation."David nodded along. "Right? Tom, relax. You really getting rattled by a cash flow thing?"Jason's face had changed, but he was still trying to hold himself together."Tom. Explain. Now."Tom pulled himself off the floor. His whole body was shaking.He grabbed Cassie by the collar, eyes bloodshot, practically vibrating."Cash reserves? Are you out of your mind?"He shoved the report against her face."Open your eyes and re
