Chapter 1

"You heard what Ms. Sanford said, didn't you?" Owen Pearson sneered, his face flushed with triumph."She specifically asked me to clean up any corruption in this company. You want to embezzle public funds? In your dreams!"I didn't bother arguing with him. I turned on my heel, ready to leave.But Owen lunged forward and grabbed my wrist. His eyes flared with pure greed as he stared at my watch."You think you can just walk out without handing everything over? How could a guy like you afford a watch this expensive? You probably bought it with the lottery winnings from your business trip. Hand it over!"Controlling my rising anger, I said, "This watch was a gift from someone. It has absolutely nothing to do with any business trip or lottery."Owen rolled his eyes dramatically. "Bullshit! More like a little bonus for sleeping with some sugar mommy on your trip!"Man, you really go all out. I wondered why you were flying all over the country. Turns out you've got business everywhere

After saying that, I threw the ruined watch into the trash can and turned to leave.That night, Macy called me countless times, but I cut straight to the chase and broke up with her.When all her sweet-talking failed to change my mind, she finally snapped and threw a bitter warning at me, telling me I'd live to regret this.The next morning, I had barely sat down at my desk when a local trending video popped up as a notification on my phone.On screen, Owen was smiling triumphantly at the camera. "Hey everyone! Today, a total corporate newbie like me just dealt a crushing blow to an entitled workplace slacker who tried to embezzle public funds!"That old-timer thought he could take advantage of the fact that I'm the new accountant to pocket 3,000 dollars of company money. I shut him down immediately and gave him a piece of my mind."Hah! He actually tried to call the CEO to complain about me. Too bad for him, the CEO has my back, and he was absolutely livid. The CEO even called t

I ignored Owen's frantic shouting and walked right out.The next morning, the moment I arrived at my desk, the colleague in the adjacent cubicle stared at me as if he'd just seen a ghost. He spoke in a panic. "We have that major contract negotiation in Avalorne today. Why didn't you go with them?"I replied calmly, "What does that have to do with me? It's not my account."The guy offered a weak, awkward smile.They had used me as their on-call, free human lucky charm for far too long. It was time they tasted what it was like to pitch a contract based entirely on their own merit.A few hours later, Owen marched over and slammed a stack of files onto my desk."Toby, are you out of your mind? Why weren't you on that trip to Avalorne? Do you have any idea how much money you just cost this company?"Judging by his reaction, I immediately understood that they had botched the pitch.I took my time replying. "Their flight was at 8:00 am, and my shift doesn't start until 9:00 am. I co

The client flew into an absolute rage, and no amount of bowing or scraping from Owen could salvage the situation.The moment the client stormed out, Owen turned on me and bellowed, "You're deliberately sabotaging this company! You're destroying our client relationships one by one!"I shrugged, looking entirely innocent. "Didn't you tell me yourself that only the profit generated during official working hours belongs to the company?"This specific deal was negotiated entirely on my own time after hours. What if the partnership ended up costing the company money down the line? I'm just correcting my past mistakes. I couldn't possibly let the company take on that kind of liability."Owen's face contorted with malice as he gritted his teeth. "You did this on purpose!"I shook my head and put on a look of deep regret. "If I don't do what you say, I'm wrong. If I do exactly what you say, I'm still wrong. What exactly do I have to do to make you happy?"Owen stared daggers at me, spitti

I continued, "I was wrong for failing to follow company policy. I was wrong for failing to establish clear boundaries in my job description and for repeatedly reviewing my colleagues' contracts without compensation."I was wrong for failing to differentiate between my official working hours and my personal time, and for repeatedly working overtime to secure deals for this company."I am now fully aware of my mistakes. From this day forward, I promise only to complete tasks within my direct scope of work. And I will not work a single minute of overtime once my shift ends."The room instantly erupted into chaos."You can't do that! If you don't look over the contracts, how are we supposed to close our deals smoothly?""You can't just quit helping us whenever you feel like it! What are we supposed to do? You're being incredibly selfish!"Macy was completely infuriated. Her expression darkened. "Toby, is this really the kind of attitude you come up with after reflection? Are you tryi

The venue erupted into absolute chaos.People exchanged bewildered glances, sizing me up and whispering among themselves.Macy violently yanked me back toward my seat and hissed through her teeth, "Are you out of your mind? What kind of insane garbage is coming out of your mouth? Open your eyes and look at where we are!"My expression didn't change as I slapped her hand away. "I'm perfectly sane. You should open your eyes and look at the time. I just said I have officially resigned. I am free to leave.""You…" Macy burned with rage. "When did you resign? Who gave you permission to quit?"I shifted my gaze directly onto Owen.Owen interrupted in a panic. "Toby, is this your idea of revenge? If you want to throw a tantrum, at least pick the right venue. This isn't the place for you to cause a scene."Macy suddenly realized something, and a contemptuous sneer spread across her face. "Toby, are you pulling this stunt just to prove how important you are? Talk about a pathetic cry for

I was utterly dumbfounded.Macy let out a sneer. "Stop acting. You went through all this trouble just to get my attention, didn't you? What? Did you regret forcing that breakup on me last time? You were too embarrassed to just ask me out, so you resorted to these little stunts to get me back."The moment the words left her mouth, the expressions of everyone at our table shifted.Macy and I had never gone public with our relationship. It wasn't that the company banned office romances. Macy was simply the one who minded it.She used to lecture me with a stern face, "We absolutely cannot make our relationship public. If people find out we're together, what will people think of you? I'm the CEO, and you're just a regular employee."They'll assume everything you worked so hard for was just handed to you because of me. I'm doing this for your own good!"For my own good? I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Just because she wanted to "keep things professional", she held me back.I had m

"What?" Owen was the first to react. He shrieked sharply, "That's impossible! You're just a low-level grunt. What right do you have to 5% of the company's stock options? Stop trying to bluff your way out of this!"Owen was a newcomer, so he naturally had no clue about my contributions.Thanks to my money-magnet nature, everything from the contracts I handled to the latest machines we developed ran flawlessly.That was why the company required my presence at every major negotiation across the country. I had been pulling the heaviest workload while earning nothing more than the company's average salary.When the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, it was the exact numbers I wrote that secured the winning bid to save it. The board of directors granted me three-year stock options in recognition of my contributions and also to keep me tied down.Macy's and the other colleagues' expressions grew incredibly heavy. They knew my worth better than anyone.I turned my gaze to Macy. "W

Chapter 9

Macy continued to beg over and over again, but it only made me feel sick to my stomach.I looked down at her from where I stood. "You should actually be thanking me. Ask yourself, Macy. The only reason you even have the wealth and status you enjoy today is that I secured that Deltarune contract for you three years ago, right?"That contract alone put you in the CEO's chair. Everything I am doing right now is simply taking back what is mine."No matter how loudly Macy cried out my name, I didn't stop walking.…Not long after I arrived home, the notifications on my phone from our company group chat began buzzing nonstop.Curious, I opened the messages to see the aftermath of the bidding event."Damn, the pressure when they came back today was terrifying. I've never seen Ms. Sanford have such a bad look before.""Well, of course she's miserable. Such a massive disaster happened, and she was leading the team. I heard Mr. Graham was absolutely furious and is determined to hold ever

The investigator frowned, looking deeply perplexed. "But when we questioned the other seven employees who attended the event separately, their testimonies matched perfectly. "Are you suggesting every single one of them is slandering you? What possible reason would they have to do that?"Noticing the investigator's skepticism, I took a deep breath and recounted exactly what had transpired that day. I even presented the audio recording I had captured as proof.As the recording of the bidding event played, the investigator's face visibly darkened.I added calmly, "Furthermore, by the day of the bidding, my official role in the company had already been demoted to janitor. What kind of company leaves its elite team on the sidelines and forces a janitor onto the stage to pitch a major contract?"I didn't stop there. I laid out everything that had happened to me at the company during this past period.When the investigator heard that Macy had handed over management of the company to a
