Reborn: Outplaying the Mind-Reading Translator
Although I'm the ace translator of my company, I let the receptionist, Janice Cartman, take charge of a translation project that's worth over 100 million dollars of my own volition.
In my past life, Janice is the childhood friend of my boyfriend, Nicholas Sanders, who has dropped out of middle school. Yet, she suddenly masters eight languages overnight. Not only that, but she claims that she simply taught herself the languages.
I need to research the technical terms beforehand every time I take on a translation project, but Janice is able to easily translate anything that she hears on the spot with 100% accuracy.
Everyone praises Janice for being a translation genius while calling me a worthless loser in private.
Janice stops me when I'm about to go on stage to fulfill my duties as the translator for the 100-million-dollar project. I've spent the last two weeks preparing for it, sacrificing sleep to ensure that I'm completely ready.
"This isn't the time for you to show off, Giselle. This project will determine whether the company will become publicly listed. Your foundation isn't as good as mine, so I'll take your place!"
Nicholas and my other colleagues fully support Janice's suggestion.
I do everything I can to change their minds, but in the end, I'm still forcefully replaced.
Janice's translations are flawless. She's lauded as the hero of the company.
Meanwhile, I'm demoted to a cleaning lady under the pretext that my skills are lacking.
I don't understand.
I've spent the last decade working myself to the bone to hone my skills, yet I still lose to Janice, who becomes a translation genius overnight.
In a daze, I accidentally lose my footing and drown to death.
Seconds before I breathe my last breath, I find out that Janice's translations are a hoax. She simply repeats the words that she hears in my heart.
When I open my eyes again, I realize that I've been transported back to the day when Janice claims that she's a translation genius who knows eight languages.
This time, I don't stay up all night to prepare my translation materials. Instead, I start memorizing a funeral speech!
