Chapter 1

"Congratulations, Giselle! As expected, you got first place for this month's assessment again!""That's right! You've gotten first place for three months in a row now!"My colleagues surrounded me, applauding me and showering me with praise.I was a little stunned as a crowd gathered around me.The host cleared his throat and announced, "The person who scored first place in the company's assessment this month is, once again, Giselle—""Wait!" Janice Cartman exclaimed as she walked out from the crowd. "I signed up for this month's assessment. I want to give it a shot too."A chill ran down my spine as I watched the scene unfold exactly as it had in my past life.My colleagues' eyes were full of doubt as they looked at Janice."This isn't a game. You don't even have any translation skills. The entry barrier for this industry is quite high!"Janice pursed her lips and said, "The assessment doesn't look that difficult to me. And who said that I don't have any translation skills? I

Janice's suggestion drew the attention of everyone in the hall.Nicholas was about to say something when I smiled and said, "There's no need for that. I forfeit!"Chaos erupted in the hall.Nicholas was stunned. He knew that I took my career extremely seriously, so he assumed that I wouldn't let Janice's challenge slide."I forfeit," I repeated.What Nicholas didn't know was that I had confidently accepted Janice's challenge in my past life. However, every time I tried to answer the host's questions, she would beat me to it. In the end, she emerged as the indisputable victor and made me, the translator with a decade's worth of experience, into a laughingstock.Naturally, I wouldn't accept her challenge again.Janice tried to provoke me, saying, "You're the ace translator of our company, Giselle. Don't tell me that you're too scared to compete with a little receptionist like me? That would be so embarrassing for you if this gets out!"Or perhaps you could test me to see which

Janice and I made our way toward the meeting location when the afternoon rolled around.We were meeting Louis Roseford, a long-time business partner of the company.The meeting began after both parties arrived.I was completely focused on the talks and took countless notes.When the other party finished speaking in Dormich, I took a deep breath, preparing myself to translate his words.However, the sounds of a fluent translation resounded behind me."The patient showed significant improvement after taking the new endocrine drugs during treatment. The key points include overall survival period and the time needed until cell-isolated chemotherapy is required."I whipped my head around.Janice, who was supposed to be "learning" during the meeting, was swiftly translating the man's words.The rest of the meeting played out the same way. Every time I tried to speak up, she would beat me to the punch and translate the other party's words.I couldn't get a single word in during the

"No!" Janice suddenly shrieked.She forced herself to smile when she noticed everyone's confused look. She stammered, "W-What I'm trying to say is… Giselle can probably gain some experience at such a big event. She might even be able to put what she learned to use one day!"Nicholas frowned, looking displeased. "Why are you being difficult again?" he snapped at me. "Everyone's just telling the truth when they say that you're inferior to Janice. Do you really believe that you can threaten anyone by saying that you're not going to go? You don't have to go if you don't want to!"I didn't say a single word.Meanwhile, Janice began to panic."I think Giselle should be there, Nick. After all, I've never been part of such a large-scale meeting. We can learn from each other if she's there!"My colleagues began to praise Janice."She always pretends that she needs several days to prepare for her projects, yet you're still giving her a chance, Janice. Instead of learning from each other

Fear flickered across Janice's face, but she couldn't stop herself from reciting the funeral speech. The microphone amplified her voice, making it echo all around the room.Everyone was flabbergasted by the funeral speech."W-What's going on?" The organizer of the meeting, George Tolton, demanded, his expression steely. "Is this some kind of twisted joke? We want to hear her translations. We're in a meeting, not a funeral! We don't need to hear a funeral speech!"Nicholas nearly jumped out of his skin. He was sweating bullets as he rushed onto the stage and began apologizing profusely."I'm sorry! She's our company's new translator. She's probably just feeling a little nervous. Let me talk to her for a moment."Several top-level executives who were present in the room wore stormy expressions.Nicholas hurried over to Janice's side and hissed through gritted teeth, "What the hell are you doing? Why are you reciting a funeral speech when you're supposed to be translating?"Janic

Janice shocked everyone again when she opened her mouth.Instead of the previous funeral speech, she was reciting a completely new one this time.Janice subconsciously picked up the speed of her recitation. Her voice resounded from the speakers and echoed all around the room.The droning quality of her voice frustrated everyone to no end."Shut up! Stop speaking!" someone shouted."This is so annoying! Why the hell are you reciting a funeral speech? Do you want to send all of us to the other side?""How upsetting!"George shot to his feet and smashed his cup on the floor.Silence instantly descended upon the meeting room, but Janice didn't stop reciting the funeral speech.It was impossible to discern the emotion on George's face."Is your company trying to stir up trouble, Nicholas?" he demanded.Nicholas nearly jumped out of his skin. The strength fled from his legs as he rushed to explain the situation. "M-Mr. Tolton. Please listen to me—"However, George had reached the

"I-I…" Janice stuttered, unable to string a full sentence together.In the end, George ordered the security guards to drag her out of the room as well.George immediately ordered his men to contact a translator after his anger subsided. He couldn't help but frown when he was told that it would take at least half an hour for the nearest translator to rush to the venue.Finally, his gaze landed on me.He knew about my capabilities since we had worked together several times before. He asked if I was willing to salvage the situation and become the official translator for the meeting.Of course, I had no reason to reject him. I took a deep breath and sat in the translator's chair.I was able to easily translate everything since I had diligently prepared for this meeting in my past life.Janice could hear the words in my heart when the security guards were dragging her out of the room. She looked overjoyed and frantically shouted, "I know how to translate everything now! Please give m

It was blatantly obvious that Nicholas and my colleagues were looking for a scapegoat.They weren't just trying to convince me for Janice's sake. They were worried about the dire consequences they would face since they had unanimously decided to elect Janice as the official translator.If the investigation team dug into the details, all of them would be punished. That was why they were so impatient and eager to force me to shoulder all the blame.What a brilliant idea!The smile that stretched across my lips didn't reach my eyes."You're right. The fine probably won't be too expensive, but it would be a burden for Janice," I said.Everyone nodded vigorously."That's right! That's what I was saying!"Nicholas smiled and said, "I told you that it was just a trivial matter. I'm glad that you can see the bigger picture.""Since all of you think that it's just a trivial matter," I continued languidly. "Why don't all of you take responsibility for what happened? All of you can pay t

Henry became angry upon hearing Janice's words."It's the most basic responsibility of a translator to research the technical terms beforehand. Why would you force someone to go on stage without giving them a chance to look at the materials? You're basically forcing them into a difficult situation," he said.Janice wiped her tears and hung her head."It's fine. I'm used to it," she said. "I caused trouble for the company because of this incident. I have nothing to say if the company wants to fire or punish me."My colleagues began to chime in with their own stories, dragging my name through the mud."Mr. Bridges, Giselle has been bullying the newcomers to her heart's content because she's the company's ace translator. It wasn't easy for the company to train Janice. Giselle refuses to let Janice participate in any projects because she's jealous of Janice's talent. She's worried that she'll threaten her position one day!""Not only that, but Giselle refuses to share the most basic

Nicholas looked like he had more to say, but I ignored him and handed the recording device to the investigation team.The truth finally came to light when they played the recording.Henry slammed his hands on the table when he heard Nicholas confidently declare that he would take full responsibility if anything went awry when he switched Janice and me at the last minute. "I can't believe that someone in the company's management level would say such a thing!" he spat.Nicholas' face was deathly pale as he stood to the side and didn't say a single word.The recording device didn't just contain a recording of what happened during the meeting. It also contained evidence of how Nicholas abused his authority to condone everything that Janice did.Nicholas could no longer hide how he had broken company rules time and time again for Janice's sake.Henry's expression turned serious after listening to the tail-end of the recording."We're aware of what's been happening now, Giselle.
