Semua Bab The Boss Billed Me For My Own Building: Bab 1 - Bab 9

During the lunch break, Wayne shouted from his office, "Meredith, get in here!"His tone was imperious and commanding, like he was calling out to livestock on a farm.I swallowed down the discomfort rising inside me and walked in.Wayne tapped the bill on his desk with his cigar."Meredith, the company is currently covering this bill for you. Now, it's not that we're short on cash, but we're not going to be a sucker and cover it for you indefinitely."Since you didn't pay up this morning, that'll be another five thousand dollars in interest. Don't worry. I won't keep it for myself. I'll use it to treat everyone to afternoon tea."The office door was open, so when my colleagues outside heard this, they burst into cheers.They shouted "Wayne, you're the man!" and "Long live Wayne!"Wayne's smirk grew even wider at the commotion outside.Looking at that smug face of his, I felt a suffocating tightness in my chest."Wayne, this bill isn't even something I should be paying in the

The company's front doors were shut tight, and the office area was plunged into pitch darkness.Mr. Wilkins' brows furrowed into a deep knot."Where is Wayne? What on earth is going on with your company?"Tammy fumbled frantically for her phone to call Wayne, only to discover that there was no signal. The call wouldn't go through at all."Mr. Wilkins, there's a power outage. Wayne… He went downstairs to meet you."Mr. Wilkins' expression grew even sterner."Nonsense! Every floor we passed on our way up had power. How could only yours be blacked out?"Wayne pounded desperately on the elevator doors, his muffled voice echoing from inside."Mr. Wilkins, I'm in here! I'm trapped in the elevator!"Mr. Wilkin's expression darkened further.Wayne, sensing disaster, quickly said, "Mr. Wilkins, please don't be upset. I'll contact the property management right now."He pulled out his phone, only to remember that for all these years, I had been the one handling all the communication wi

One by one, my colleagues stepped forward to plead with me. All the sharp-tongued nastiness of the past had transformed into groveling ingratiation.I swept my gaze over each panicked face and felt nothing but contempt."When I offered you all my genuine goodwill before, how did you treat me? You sucked up to power and kicked me when I was down. Not one of you remembered my kindness. Now that it's time to face the consequences, you finally know fear. Too bad it's far too late."Chester, following my instructions, distributed the compiled copies of evidence to each person.Screenshots of defamatory Instagram posts and chat records were clearly laid out. These were all the pieces of proof I'd quietly collected over five years, every single time I was stabbed in the back.A few of them went weak at the knees just looking at it and crumpled to the floor."Meredith, I was just a loudmouth with a rotten tongue. I'm sorry. I'll do anything you want. My son is about to take the civil ser

My words hit like a bolt out of the blue.Bianca's mouth hung wide open, her tantrum-throwing motions frozen mid-gesture. Her face twisted into a grotesque mask, her lips trembling as she asked me, "W-What do you mean?"The patients and family members who had been watching the spectacle also fell instantly silent, their eyes brimming with a gossipy look and probing curiosity.I glanced at Bianca and pulled up the photos I'd long saved on my phone. The images showed Tammy at her prenatal check-ups, with Wayne right by her side.The two were intimately close, acting every bit like a married couple. It went well beyond what was appropriate between a boss and an employee.There were also Tammy's Instagram posts, selfie after selfie with veiled declarations of love, where a man always appeared in the background, showing only a hand or a neck.From the accessories, it was easy to tell the man was Wayne. One of the rings was even a matching couple's set with Bianca's own."What I'm say
