All Chapters of Jumping Ship After He Steals My Job with Her: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

After three years of blood, sweat, and tears working at Zohart Group, we finally came out on top of the other team, and I finally had a chance at a promotion and a raise.Out of the blue, the company's heir showed up for his first day at work, bringing with him a poor student he had sponsored for years.When I heard the news, I was having a cup of my well-needed coffee in the pantry. I looked outside and saw a group surrounding a strikingly handsome man. He stood in the very middle, nervously distributing gifts."Nice to meet you all. I'm Matthew Zohart, the new general manager. I'll arrange something soon so that we can all go out together and get to know one another."Standing beside him was a young woman dressed in a white dress. She smiled gently and introduced herself. "Hello, everyone—Gracie Fowler here. I'm kind of frail most of the time, so please take extra good care of this soft little girl!"Amid my daze, a small gift box had been placed in my hands. Matthew was smiling

Gracie was about to leave with her "loot" when I called her out. "The finance department said the project bonus was transferred to you. Send it back—I need to split it based on each individual's workload."At that, the coworkers perked up with excitement. "Finally, the bonus is here! The project took months to grind through!""Right? Did you see Mr. Pearson's face? He was so sour and clearly didn't want to lose to us!""Our team rules, thanks to Ms. Simpson's ability! Serves them right for losing, even after all the dirty tricks they pulled!"Listening to them, I couldn't help but drift back to those late nights and hard work. I didn't get promoted to a senior supervisor role, but at least the bonus was a little consolation.Still, I waited for a long time, only for Gracie to do nothing. Everyone's eyes turned toward her.At last, she seemed to break. "Why is everyone staring at me? Isn't the bonus mine?"The office went silent. There were no words to describe the mix of disbeli

Gracie's words left everyone half-convinced and half-skeptical. As for me, I made a point of staying alert. Something told me she would definitely stir up trouble again during the outing.Before we left the next day, I deliberately stuffed a few buns into my bag. When I got to the office, I realized they had booked a coach bus, which reeked from who-knew-what.Gracie sat in the front row, still wearing that same white dress from yesterday, shooting me a provocative look. I couldn't be bothered and took the furthest seat in the back.The ride itself was fairly peaceful. I chatted with my coworkers and learned that we would be heading into the mountains. The scenery was supposed to be stunning, and tickets usually cost nearly a thousand dollars per person.Since we were already here, I might as well enjoy the trip.Around lunchtime, the bus rocked to a stop. After getting off, everyone headed toward the buffet restaurant ahead, but Gracie stepped in and blocked our way.She opened

Those words more or less voiced what everyone was feeling. Complaints erupted all around.In the end, it was only after Gracie broke down crying and said she would find a way to return the money that things finally settled down.Ten minutes later, we started hiking up the mountain in silence. I watched as Gracie and Matthew gradually fell behind the group. He even seemed to be speaking earnestly, trying to comfort her.Nothing could beat their deep relationship, it seemed. After scolding her, he still had to coax her.Whatever. I was planning to quit, anyway. I figured I should just treat this as a live office romance show.While I was lost in thought, the scenery halfway up the mountain suddenly opened up before us. Ahead was the cable car station. Normally, the cable car would go straight to the summit, saving visitors a lot of effort.Earlier, I had heard Matthew mention that Gracie had indeed bought the tickets. After all the trouble, she finally did one thing right.To avoi

Hearing Gracie, I couldn't help but find it all ironic. After all the twists and turns, our team's project bonus had ended up being used by Gracie to curry favor with Matthew. I shook my head, chuckling mockingly.When Gracie noticed me, she casually picked up the resignation letter from Matthew's desk and waved it lightly. "Well, you're finally giving up your team leader role. I thought you'd keep hogging it forever. Not to brag, but Mr. Pearson is way more capable than you."Seeing the mix of jealousy and resentment on her face, I honestly just felt bored.I smiled and tapped her shoulder. "Once I'm gone, it's your turn as the assistant who knows nothing but making trouble to support your precious Matty!"Without wasting any more words, I briskly walked out of the office. After finishing all the handover tasks, I settled down to focus on growing my livestream business.During this period, Matthew called a few times, humbly asking for advice. He finally learned how to be a proper
