All Chapters of Undercover as an Intern, I Caught His Mistress and Went Nuclear: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It was my first day at the company as an intern.I was standing near the reception desk, getting ready to report to HR, when a woman in a tailored designer suit stormed into the lobby.She slapped a certified copy of a marriage certificate onto the front desk.“A new intern? No wonder you don’t know how things work around here.”Her eyes dropped to the stack of files in my arms.“Why are you holding those so high? Are you trying to hide your face, or are you blocking my view on purpose? Put them down. Stand up straight and keep your hands at your sides.”Following the employee handbook, I lowered my head slightly and replied in an even tone.“Good morning. How may I help you?”That simple greeting seemed to set her off.She stopped directly in front of me, her voice turning shrill.“What’s wrong with HR? Do they hire people without teaching them basic manners now?”She tapped the badge pinned to my chest, then pointed at the marriage certificate on the desk.“Look at that l

While I stood there in silence, Wendy strutted into the employee cafeteria like she owned the place.“Oh my God. Is this seriously what you feed your employees?”She picked up a piece of pork belly from one of the serving trays, pinching it between two fingers before dropping it back in disgust.Then she pulled an insulated container from her luxury handbag and slammed it onto the counter.“Judging by this pathetic food, I doubt any of you have ever tasted a decent meal.”She smiled smugly.“I’m feeling generous today, so I brought lobster bisque from one of the best restaurants in the city. Consider it an upgrade.”She opened the container and started to pour it into the cafeteria’s communal soup pot.“Ms. Jasper, you can’t do that!”The cafeteria manager finally stepped in and blocked her way.“Company health regulations prohibit outside food from being mixed with anything served to employees. The rule is there to protect everyone. Please put the container away.”“Health r

The moment I finished speaking, the entire cafeteria fell silent.Everyone stared at me as though I had lost my mind.My supervisor hurried over, panic written all over her face.“Xena, are you insane? Do you even hear yourself? Divorce papers?”She lowered her voice urgently.“Go apologize before Mr. Ford has time to react. You might still be able to save your job.”Wendy looked as though she had just heard the funniest joke of her life.She folded her arms and walked toward me, her heels clicking against the floor.“Divorce papers? From you?”She looked me up and down with a sneer.“You’re an intern. Try to keep your fantasies somewhat realistic.“You actually think you can order Shane around?”Her smile turned cruel.“After what you pulled today, even getting on your knees and begging won’t save your job.”I ignored them both.I simply watched the time on my phone.Five minutes.Each second ticked by.The tension in the cafeteria grew unbearable.Wendy finally ran

Shane’s pen froze above the signature line.He jerked his head up. “What’s wrong with the contract?”“Go ahead, Tom,” I said.“The company is called Horizon Capital. On paper, it looks like a legitimate investment firm, but the real controlling shareholder has been competing with our family for years.“There are several trap clauses buried in the agreement they signed with Ford Corporation. The moment Ford transfers the project funds, Horizon can legally drain the entire venture within three months and leave Ford with nothing.”Tom’s voice rang clearly through the speakerphone.The cafeteria erupted in shocked whispers.Shane’s face turned deathly pale.He immediately pulled out his phone and called his assistant.“Terminate all business with Horizon Capital immediately. Freeze every related transaction and secure all the documents. Do it now!”After hanging up, he looked at me, his expression impossible to read.“Xena, thank you.”Without Tom’s warning, the deal Shane had

A week later, Tom called me.“Xena, how are you holding up?”“I’m fine.”“There’s been an update on Shane.”Tom sounded conflicted.“He really did transfer to that regional office and start over as a project assistant. I sent someone to check on him. He’s living in a tiny room in company housing and spending every day at construction sites with the project team. He’s so sunburned he barely looks like himself.“When he first arrived, the branch manager panicked and tried to give him a private office, but Shane refused.“He said he went there to make amends.”I listened quietly without saying anything.“There’s more. He’s been writing you a letter every day and having them delivered to the front desk at your office. There are seven of them now. Do you want to read them?”“No.”My refusal was calm.“Get rid of them for me, Tom.”“All right.”He didn’t try to persuade me.“What about you? What are you planning to do now?”I stared at my exhausted reflection in the mirror.
