Chapter 9

Author: Orange Cutie
After the meeting, Yvette lunged for my hand—security shut that down fast.

"Dylan! Please! It was Kevin! He made me do it! I wasn't thinking!"

She was scrambling to throw him under the bus.

I stared her down. "It's Mr. Dunham. Keep it work-related."

Then I walked off without looking back.

Up ahead, Kevin was shooting daggers at her, phone already out, making moves.

Yeah, he wasn't done.

Snake was just hunting for his next sponsor.

Too bad I'd already set the next trap.

***

Yvette and Kevin's suspension didn't slow them down—it just cranked up their spite.

Soon, the office was buzzing with nastier, sleazier rumors:

"Mr. Dunham? Please. He's just the CEO's boy toy."

"No wonder he's her assistant. Bet he sweet-talked his way into her bed."

"He's a total social climber. Yvette dumped him when she found out the truth, and he snapped."

The gossip got darker—gross, twisted stories laced with scandal and sex.

And this time, they weren't just aiming at me.

  • Wrong Guy to Betray   Chapter 11

    The board's decision lit up the company fast.Yvette and Kevin? Blacklisted.Wiped off the system, names basically cursed. No one in the biz would touch them now.Weeks later, I got a random call.Yvette.She wanted to meet at that coffee shop near HQ. Said it was important.I showed up. Not for closure, just to end it clean.She looked wrecked. Bloodshot eyes, zero trace of that go-getter energy."Dylan..."She fumbled hard."I'm sorry. I messed up. It was Kevin—he pressured me. Said his family was broke and he needed that job. I panicked... He's a snake, Dylan. He made me file that report, told me to start the rumors. I never wanted it to go this far."She scrambled to dump it all on Kevin, acting like she'd been dragged along.Then came her last shot."Don't you remember our three years? I loved you! Can't we try again? I swear I'd never hurt you..."I let her talk. Watched her twist herself into knots, reaching for any exit.It was kinda sad. Almost funny.Any lefto

    It had everything—Yvette's bogus report that tanked my offer, how they played coworkers, stirred gossip, and pinned it all on me.Every anonymous post? Traced. IPs logged.Water cooler whispers? Recorded.Kevin's scheming in group chats? Logged, stamped, airtight.It was a full circle of solid proof.As the committee flipped through the stack, their faces darkened.This wasn't gossip—it was a straight-up takedown attempt.And I was just sitting there, waiting for the hammer to drop.***In Gauthier Corp's stiffest conference room, the air was heavy.Both sides of the long table packed with board members and execs.Yvette and Kevin got seats as the accusers.I was the last to walk in—the one on trial.The meeting kicked off, and a senior board member came for Haisley hard."Ms. Gauthier, these rumors have wrecked your reputation and the company's. You owe us answers."Yvette seized the moment.She stood and pointed at me, all fired up. "I'm the one who reported him! I sw

    "I... I didn't! It was a glitch! Must've been a system malfunction!" she stammered, eyes bouncing all over the place.Kevin shot up too, throwing on the fake worry. "Yeah, Mr. Dunham, the system bugs out sometimes. I'm sure Yvette didn't mean to."Still clinging to the old classic—blame the tech.I didn't say a word. Just watched their little improv show play out.Then, calm as ever, I turned and clicked to the next slide.The screen lit up with system logs—Yvette's name stamped in bold red.No wiggle room. No excuses."I don't know if the system glitched," I said, voice even. "But I know the logs don't lie. Yvette Klutz, this isn't about your skills anymore. It's about integrity."Gasps rippled through the room.Every head turned to her—faces twisted in shock, some straight-up disgust.She went pale as drywall. Sweat broke across her forehead. Whole body trembling.That's when Haisley finally spoke."Ms. Klutz. If you've got a problem with my executive assistant, bring it

    All eyes locked on me.Yvette and Kevin? Smirking like they'd already written my eulogy.I looked at Ms. Wallace, cool as ever. "Great question. Super important."Click—next slide. Appendix lit up with a full breakdown of the competitor's mid-range move."We didn't just consider it—we ran a full analysis and built a strategy around it. It's not a threat. It's an opening."I broke it all down easy—data, conclusions, the whole package.Not only answered the question, but doubled down on the strength of my positioning.Ms. Wallace? Face went sour real fast.Kevin jumped in, all fake charm and soft tones. "Ms. Wallace was just trying to help, Mr. Dunham. Don't take it the wrong way. We're all on the same team here."Classic move—play nice, change the subject, bury the flop.But Yvette wasn't done.During Q&A, she shot up and went full offense. "Mr. Dunham, your slides are impressive, but honestly? It's all theory."Voice loud, tone sharp—she wanted the drama. "You're fresh outt

    Not long after I started, my first big internal project presentation came up—my shot to actually prove I belonged.And surprise, surprise, Yvette and Kevin weren't about to sit that one out.Kevin strolled into my office all fake-friendly, holding out a cup of coffee like some peace offering."Mr. Dunham, you've been grinding hard," he said, voice all careful. "Heard you're working on that new product proposal. Ms. Wallace has tons of experience with that stuff... but, uh, she's got a temper. Try not to step on her toes."Sounded helpful, right? Yeah, no.Ms. Wallace was the loudest voice against the proposal—and one of Yvette's little pawns.Kevin was laying a trap, plain and simple.I watched his little act, took the coffee without blinking. "That so? Appreciate it," I said, playing along like I bought it.Behind the scenes, I started digging.Turned out Yvette had "accidentally" left out a key market report while helping organize the data. The one with all the juicy updates
