Chapter 1

I assumed my post before the New Year, and to prevent the employees from reading too much into things, I specifically wore a custom-made, unbranded suit. I had just straightened the holly that the wind had knocked out of place at the shop entrance when a harsh shout suddenly broke out behind me."That intern over there! Get over here this instant!"I was stunned for a moment, as it was the very first time in my life someone had addressed me that way.I hadn't even had the time to process what was happening when a dust-covered broom came down hard on my leg.It was then that the manager, whose suit was about to split open from his beer belly, scowled and glared at me. "Why are you just standing there? What's the matter with you? Do you intend to disobey your senior colleagues?" I looked down at what I was wearing. I might not be wearing something with a visible brand, but I certainly didn't look like an intern who came to sweep the floors by any stretch of the imagination. I looke

Chapter 2

Upon seeing that I was being completely serious, Patrick burst out laughing as if it were a massive joke. "Do you want to say that one more time? What exactly are you going to do to me?"He yelled while gesturing toward the deputy manager's name tag on his chest. "Where's the manager? Get over here this instant! How was the onboarding training done here? How could a mere intern have the nerve to talk back to me? Do you people want your year-end bonuses revoked?"Just as he stopped shouting, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses squeezed through the onlookers in a panic. "I'm right here, Mr. Walker! It's my fault for not training him properly, so please go take a break while I sort this situation out, Mr. Walker!"Moira Smith, the manager of the authorized car dealership I was at, tugged my arm and whispered, "You must be out of your mind, young man! That man is Patrick Walker, the regional deputy manager. You'd better apologize to him this instant! "You ought to know that Mr. Lingar

I could feel my temple throbbing with rage as I saw the sticky spit on the floor. I was seconds away from losing it, but it was too soon to escalate things, so I turned and picked up the mop nearby.Patrick reached out and blocked me. "I told you to wipe it up—not mop it."I regarded him with disbelief. "What's that supposed to mean?"Patrick scoffed and held his chin high. "I'm telling you to get down on the floor and scrub it on your knees until it meets my standards."I finally snapped, slamming the mop onto the floor so hard the handle clattered loudly against the tiles. "I'm done! You're nothing but a petty regional deputy manager! Do you really think you're above all else?"Those employees quickly crowded around the door after hearing the commotion happening in the restroom. They were all sticking their necks out to sneak a peek, but nobody dared step in to break it up.Patrick, looking at the crowd of onlookers, felt completely humiliated. He stepped forward, raised his ha

It was then that a shy-looking young man dressed in everyday casual clothes walked in. He was clutching a piece of paper in his hand and stood in the middle of the showroom floor, looking completely lost. Moira's eyes brightened as she rushed right over. "You're finally here, Mr. Lingard! You're incredibly accomplished for your age, looking even younger than the rumors made you out to be." Those around were all looking at the young man, while Patrick, too, adopted a fawning smile as he prepared to step forward.That young man scratched his head sheepishly, looking thoroughly confused. He handed over the paper to Moira and asked, "Who is this Mr. Lingard you're talking about? I'm not that person. I'm the new intern—this is my onboarding notice."Moira's smile instantly stiffened upon realizing the paper was indeed an onboarding notice.Patrick leaned in to take a look, and his temper instantly flared. "Who the hell just said that Mr. Lingard's car just pulled up? How dare you toy

Chapter 5

I questioned Patrick coldly, my voice echoing through the phone speaker and silencing everyone in the lobby.Patrick dropped his phone, and it hit the floor with a thud, the screen shattering instantly.I looked like a total disaster—water dripping down my face, blood staining the corner of my mouth, a nasty bruise on my forehead, and a soaked suit sticking to my body. I was still giving Patrick a freezing, menacing glare that sent shivers straight down his spine despite that.Patrick stumbled back a couple of steps, completely at a loss for words. "Y-You're actually Mr. Lingard?"Those surrounding employees instantly exploded into a frenzy of chatter."Huh? He's Mr. Lingard?""Oh, my God! Did I hear that right? Did we really just mistake Mr. Lingard for an intern and bully him?""It's over for me! I even helped hold Mr. Lingard down and pushed him against the sink earlier! He's definitely going to come after me!"Patrick looked at me, then at Mateo standing respectfully nearby

Chapter 6

Patrick's knees buckled. He collapsed onto the cold, hard floor, repeatedly muttering to himself, "How could I have mistaken him for someone else? I swear I've met him before…"I turned to Mateo and asked, "What exactly happened here, Mateo? Why did he keep saying he knew me? Why was he so dead set on Caleb being Mr. Lingard?"Mateo took a step closer and explained what happened calmly.It turned out the whole thing started six months ago. I had just gotten my driver's license and, on a total whim, insisted on doing the driving myself. I absolutely refused to let Caleb take the wheel, forcing Mateo and Caleb to sit in the back while I drove.It was late at night and pitch black out, and the streetlights were barely lit. I was an inexperienced driver, so I didn't spot Patrick on his motorcycle by the side of the road and accidentally clipped him. It was thankfully just a minor scrape and nothing serious. I wanted to avoid the hassle and keep my identity a secret, so I had Mateo se

Chapter 7

Mateo opened the documents he had brought over and read them aloud on the spot. "It has been determined, after an investigation, that during your tenure as regional deputy manager, you consistently harassed employees, solicited personal favors, falsified performance metrics, and embezzled company funds."In conjunction with your overt humiliation of the CEO of Lingard Group today, the board has decided that… "Your employment contract is terminated immediately, all bonuses are forfeited, and a group-wide notice of reprimand will be issued. You are permanently blacklisted from future employment, and we will pursue full legal action against you for the embezzlement of company funds in accordance with the law.""You can't do that!" Patrick completely lost it. He tried to grab my arm to plead for mercy, but Caleb intercepted him and held him down firmly.He struggled desperately, crying out to me. "I'm begging you, Mr. Lingard—please spare me just this once! I know I was in the wrong,

Chapter 8

I took the opportunity to change into a clean outfit and headed out to that long-awaited family banquet while Mateo was wrapping up things at the dealership and compiling the employees' claims. I removed my drenched suit and carefully applied concealer over the swelling on my face and the bruises on my forehead. I then brushed my disheveled hair and put on a tailored dark suit. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, and the disheveled figure was gone—replaced by someone impeccably dressed, yet with eyes that burned with even greater resolve.Though this inspection had brought humiliation and unfair treatment, it had unexpectedly rooted out a toxic parasite like Patrick, who relied on corporate backing to bully others.It had also provided a clear view of the systemic dysfunction within the retail branches and a deep understanding of the employees' plight.In the end, the whole experience ended up being way more valuable than a perfectly smooth run.It was half an hour later t
