Bonus 15 15

Perang dingin memasuki hari ketiga, tunanganku sengaja menyetujui usulan asistennya untuk melakukan perjalanan keliling dengan mobil. Dia mengira aku akan cemburu dan berebut seperti biasanya. Namun siapa sangka, sebulan kemudian saat dia kembali, dia mendapati aku sudah berubah. Dia membantu asistennya merebut proyekku. Aku tidak lagi ngambek lalu mengundurkan diri, malah mondar-mandir sibuk membantu, lalu menuliskan proposal untuknya dengan rajin. Demi asisten itu mendapatkan bonus akhir tahun, dia menghancurkan desain yang sudah susah payah kuselesaikan. Aku pun tidak lagi berusaha membuktikan diri, melainkan malah menanggung semua kesalahan dan membiarkan dia menghukumku sesuka hati. Bahkan ketika dia hendak menaikkan jabatan asisten itu menjadi direktur utama perusahaan, aku tidak marah. Aku malah secara sukarela menyerahkan seluruh saham yang ada di tanganku, membiarkan tunanganku membaginya dengan bebas. Asisten itu merasa sangat puas. "Lihat, benar 'kan yang kubilang? Kak Penny itu tipe yang nggak bisa dilawan secara keras. Harus diperlakukan dengan sikap dingin, baru ada efeknya. Pasti karena beberapa hari kamu pergi, hasilnya langsung kelihatan. Dia takut kehilangan kamu, makanya sekarang jadi patuh begitu." Tunanganku percaya pada ucapan asisten itu sepenuhnya, bahkan memuji kepintaran asisten itu. Setelah itu, dia sengaja mencariku untuk menaikkan jabatan dan gajiku, bahkan untuk pertama kalinya berjanji akan memberiku sebuah pernikahan yang tak terlupakan. Namun, dia tampaknya lupa. Selama masa liburan itu, dia sudah menandatangani surat pengunduran diriku. Dan aku juga sudah putus dengannya. Sejak saat itu, kami memutuskan hubungan sepenuhnya, tanpa ada lagi keterkaitan apa pun.

The mayor was in a car accident and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. My boyfriend, Joe Reid, wanted our junior colleague, Melissa Cross, to become the mayor's savior, so he convinced the entire department to delay the surgery while waiting for her. She was late because she had been making her special herbal drink. The mayor's life was hanging by a thread. If we did not act fast, we'd all be in serious trouble! I pleaded with them to start the surgery immediately, but all I received was accusations. "You're just jealous because Joe promised Melissa a permanent position. You're trying to ruin her chance to impress the mayor, aren't you?" I dropped to my knees and begged my colleagues. Only then, reluctantly, did they agree to proceed to the operating room. I served as lead surgeon with Joe and my colleagues assisting. After twelve hours, we finally saved Mayor Richard Carter's life. Afterward, our entire department received a massive bonus from the mayor. Both Joe and I were promoted. Yet on the night of my promotion, Melissa drugged me and had me locked in the hospital morgue's refrigeration unit, where I froze to death. Meanwhile, Joe led the entire department in lying to the police. "Kimberly Hayes had corrupt medical ethics. She stole credit for saving the mayor's life from Melissa to get promoted, then killed herself out of guilt." I died with my name destroyed. Melissa used this opportunity to secure her permanent position and even became department director with Richard's help. My father believed there was more to my death and fought for justice everywhere, but Joe had him committed to a psychiatric hospital where he was beaten to death by other patients. Only after death did I learn the truth. This was all a conspiracy between Melissa and Joe. Melissa was too afraid to be lead surgeon. They delayed everything just to replace me! When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn to the day Joe led the entire department in waiting for Melissa before the surgery. In this life, I would not stop these ungrateful colleagues from destroying themselves.
