Chapter 3

Author: Hunk Alert
That afternoon, Fiona suddenly announced a company-wide meeting.

“We have two agendas for today.”

Fiona cleared her throat and swept her gaze across everyone.

“Firstly, I wanted to recognize one of our new colleagues, Liam.”

Liam’s professional photo appeared on the big screen.

“Even though Liam has only joined us for a short while as an intern, he’s hardworking, proactive, agile, and always looking at the big picture!

“Yesterday, he managed to get an important client on his own. He’s the face of our company and our rising star! Everyone should learn from him.”

There was sparse applause from the crowd, and it was mainly from colleagues who were closest to Liam.

Colleagues with longer tenure hung their heads expressionlessly.

Everyone clearly knew that Liam was not hardworking.

He had just been buttering Fiona up.

“Secondly…”

Fiona suddenly sounded very serious.

“I want to criticize a very problematic behavior! Some people are not performing and are only relying on their tenure here. All their efforts are spent on cheating the system and stealing the company’s money!”

After that, she pressed on her clicker.

The slide on the big screen changed to a photo of my five-thousand-dollar claim form on the screen.

Someone had crossed it out with a big red “X,” and it looked stark.

“Nick!” Fiona yelled and pointed at me as I sat in a corner.

Everyone was staring at me.

Some were sympathetic, some were gloating, while others were waiting for a good show.

“This claim isn’t detailed, and the amount is too high! How dare you ask for five thousand dollars for an event? You must have grown brazen over the years!” Fiona yelled before everyone.

“We hired you to create value for the company, not for you to suck the company dry! I will not let anyone off the hook for these fake claims and potential embezzlement!”

She paused and stared at me coldly.

Then, she announced, “Due to Nick’s misconduct, I have decided that the company will not reimburse him for the five-thousand-dollar claim!

“One more thing. I’m deducting your salary, allowance, as well as project bonus for this month. That’s a total of eight thousand dollars!

“This is your punishment and compensation for the company! Everyone should take this as a lesson and be wary of such actions!”

Everyone was shocked.

Liam was sitting in the front row, and he looked at me smugly.

He mouthed, “Old man, you won’t win against me.”

At that moment, my anger strangely disappeared.

I smirked.

“Are you sure you’re going to deduct my salary? Fiona, it’s not good to burn bridges. I’m afraid you’ll suffer from coveting my money.”

Fiona was momentarily stunned before she yelled in anger immediately after, “I started this business from scratch, and I’m not afraid of anything! I’ve seen too much to be timid! Do you think you can really curse me over this?”

Her face fell, and she slammed the table.

“Nick, you’re suspended! If you don’t want to work here, you can just leave!”

She did not have to prompt me, as I wanted to quit too. However, when I thought of what was going to happen tomorrow, I decided to stay for another day.

    On my third day, Ms. Black, who previously left the deal offered by Fiona, suddenly contacted me. Ms. Black sounded really gentle over the phone. “Mr. Reid, I heard that you’ve gone to a new company? I’m very satisfied with your proposal. Even though Fiona’s company was dishonest, I trust you.“If you’re willing to work with me, I’m keen to sign a deal with you on the two-million-dollar project.”When I told Talia the news, she was extremely excited. “Mr. Reid, you’re a lucky charm! This is the company’s saving grace!”With the project signed, the company managed to recover. We received a lot of orders and a waitlist that overflowed to the next year. Good things kept happening. A small application that this company invented had captured a specific pain point in this industry and suddenly went viral online. Overnight, our users increased by the millions, and we had gotten investment funds worth millions of dollars. The company immediately valued at hundreds of millions.

    They started fighting in the lobby, and they looked extremely pathetic. The arrogant CEO and the young rich man were fighting each other like two mad dogs. The police immediately stepped forward and separated them. Then, they cuffed their wrists. It turned out that to cover up a huge financial gap from a failed investment, Fiona had been using Liam’s father’s connection to conduct something illegal. The eight thousand dollars that she withheld from me had caused a slight imbalance in her account. Just because of that, it triggered the tax bureau’s automated alert system. The investigation revealed a lot more information, which resulted in a serious case. It was the revenge of my secret power. She had stolen my money, and she had to pay with everything.I looked down at her pathetic appearance. “Ms. Anderson, I told you that you couldn’t take that five thousand dollars from me. Now, you’ve lost your company, and you have to face up to ten years in prison.”Fiona looked

    “Why are you so frantic?! Can’t you see that I’m handling the mole?!” Fiona yelled impatiently. She was still fantasizing about my house, and she did not realize that something bad was about to happen to her. The finance director, Leanne Lowe, collapsed to the floor. She ignored the police and sobbed. “It’s not about the mole! It’s the tax bureau! Just now, the tax bureau and economic crime investigation team both showed up!“They said we’re suspected of being involved in huge tax evasion and money laundering! Not only did they freeze all our company accounts, but they also froze your personal assets—the three properties and the two cars under your name!“They even… even towed the new Porsche you bought Mr. Taylor a month ago…”Fiona was completely stunned by the news. She froze with a ghastly expression, and her lips quivered. “What are you saying? Frozen? How is that possible…? My accounts are perfect…” she mumbled as her body swayed. Before she could return to her sense

    Our colleagues were all shocked as they pointed at me I stood in the crowd and stared at the lying duo. They thought that this would scare me? That they would force me to be the scapegoat?It was a shame that they did not know about my special power. The sirens got closer, and we could hear it downstairs. Everyone was taken aback. Very soon, a few uniformed police officers walked in. Fiona looked at them as if they were her saviors. She immediately put on a pitiful expression and went forward with tears in her eyes. “Officers, you’re here! It’s him, that man, Nick!” She pointed at me with a trembling hand, as though I had done her wrong. “He’s the mole in our company, and he’s selling us out! Not only did he leak our confidential information to our competitor and caused us a loss of two million dollars, but he’s also suspected of embezzlement!“I have evidence! This is the non-disclosure agreement that he signed, and this is the surveillance footage of him secretly ta

    Ms. Black pointed at Fiona and angrily said, “I’ve been in this field for thirty years, and I hate people who aren’t honest the most! How can I work with a company whose bank account is frozen because of dishonesty? Are you trying to harm me?“I’m calling off this collaboration! Please don’t reach out to me in the future. Let’s go.” After that, Ms. Black left with her team without any hesitation. It was silent in the meeting room. The unsigned agreement lay on the table like a joke. The two-million-dollar commission immediately disappeared into thin air. Besides, they had offended Ms. Black. It was basically a death sentence in this industry. Fiona stood there dumbfoundedly like a statue. Cold sweat trickled from her temples, and it messed up her delicate make-up. “Impossible… This must be a misunderstanding… How is it possible that our account is frozen?” she mumbled to herself as she frantically took out her phone to look at the bank app. However, the moment she un

  • My Boss Refused To Reimburse 5,000 To Me   Chapter 4

    The next morning, the company’s biggest client, Ms. Black of Grand Corporation, appeared with her team. I had worked on every single detail of this project and its proposal for six months. As long as we managed to sign the deal, we would be able to get two million dollars’ worth of net profit. It was also the biggest project of the year for the company. I organized my files and walked toward the meeting room. However, Fiona stopped me. She grabbed my elbow and pushed me toward the corner of the corridor. “Nick, are you oblivious?” Fiona lowered her voice and asked fiercely.“Look at your cheap clothes! They looked washed out, so why are you wearing them? Stop annoying Ms. Black with your presence.” She then pointed at the pantry. “Make her a cup of coffee! After you serve it, hide in the washroom and stop embarrassing us! If you dare mess this deal up, I’ll make you pay!” Before I could refute, Liam walked out of the office. He was dressed to the nines, and he was ho
