《Boss Framed Me, so I'm Reborn Petty》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 9 章

When I told my boss, Jack Davenport, I was resigning, he looked at me with genuine surprise. "Annie, what brought this on?"I handed him the letter. "Mr. Davenport, you were the one who suggested I take a voluntary pay cut so I wouldn't be a burden on the company. My current salary is enough to hire three fresh graduates in the same field. My leaving isn't exactly a bad deal for you."Jack glanced at the resignation letter. I knew he had been hoping that I would quit for a long time. My salary was substantial, after all.But he was afraid of pushing me out. I had handled the company's finances for years and knew too much about what was really going on with the books.So Jack brought in Julie Trent. On paper, it was to lighten my workload. I believed that at first.But it didn't take long before Julie started ganging up on me with the rest of the office. I had wanted to walk away then, but I couldn't bring myself to give up the salary I had spent years building up to.This time ar

I looked at Jack and felt nothing but disappointment. I had been with him since the very beginning, back when he first started this company. My salary was practically nothing in those days, and there were stretches where the company couldn't even make payroll. I stuck it out anyway, told myself it was worth it, that once the business took off, things would get better for me too.Instead, all I got was suspicion. Jack decided I cost too much, brought in Julie to undermine me, and slowly pushed me out the door.I had poured years of my life into this place. It was time to take all of that back for myself.I didn't make a scene. I handed my things over to security for inspection. All I walked out with was a coffee mug and the signed handover document.Before I left, I stood at the base of the building and looked up one last time. This was the place where I'd spent the last ten years of my life. And now, I would never have to think about any of it again.I could finally go on a real

I almost laughed when I heard that. They seemed to have completely forgotten that I no longer worked there."Julie, I've resigned. The handover is done. Everything about the company's finances is in the documents I left you. Why are you calling me about this?"I hung up before she could answer. I wasn't interested in going back and forth.The days I spent at the beach were the most peaceful I'd had in years. Every morning, instead of waking up to an endless pile of financial reports, I opened my eyes to the ocean stretching out to the horizon. It made me feel like every new day actually had something good waiting in it.I stretched, grabbed my board, and was heading down to the water when my phone rang again. It was Jack calling.I looked at the name on the screen, sighed, and picked up."Annie, book a flight and get back to the office. Now." His tone was as overbearing as ever."Why would I do that?""There's a hole in the company's finances. You need to come back and fix it.

I had never heard Jack sound like that before. There was something close to begging in his voice.Still, it didn't change anything. I just laughed softly."Mr. Davenport, I can't help you. I'm on vacation, and I'm enjoying myself. I'm not coming back."Jack's composure cracked. "Annie, are you doing this on purpose? A day or two of vacation is one thing, but you've been gone for ages. You never used to be like this."Look, if you help the company get through this, I'll throw in some extra money on top."I didn't believe a single word of it. The moment I went back and touched those accounts, every problem would land squarely on me.I had already fallen for that once. I wasn't falling for it again."Mr. Davenport, I warned you about this a long time ago. I told you to keep cash reserves on hand, but you never listened. Every time the company had money in the bank, you poured it straight into the next investment."Those were your decisions. Blaming me for how the accounts look now

When my vacation was over, I showed up at the new company right on time.What I didn't expect was for the CEO, Daniel Ross, to be waiting for me at the entrance with a cup of coffee in hand. "Annie, welcome aboard. Your office is on the top floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean."I stood there for a moment, caught off guard. At Jack's company, my desk had been shoved into the farthest corner of the finance department, without so much as a window. And even that had taken years of working practically every day of the year to earn."Mr. Ross, that's really too kind."He smiled and waved me off. "It's not me being nice. I mean it. Having you here is going to take this company a long way."On my first day, I received the company's full financial records. They were clean, organized, and every transaction was properly documented. I spent a week going through every process and put together three separate optimization proposals. Daniel reviewed them and made his decision
