During the holiday season, a flood hits. The company's warehouse is submerged up to the third floor. Due to the emergency, I have my assistant tell everyone to come back a day early to help. I promise that the company will provide stipends and extra time off to make up for this. But on that day, a Gen Z employee goes live across the internet to report me. "Oh, my God. It's 2025, yet there are still companies forcing employees to adjust their time off and work overtime! Is this heartless boss so broke that she needs to exploit us like this? Will she die if she doesn't squeeze us out of every drop of usefulness? Company notices override the law. Impressive stuff, this is!" Soon, the company ends up on the trending list due to criticism from the online community. Even the regulators come knocking to hold us accountable. In the end, the company is forced to cancel the notice. A lot of equipment isn't salvaged in time, resulting in significant losses. The employee even posts a victory lap. "Give the boss a tiny lesson—see if she dares to force overtime again!" I'm so angry that I laugh out loud. I tell my assistant to cancel the annual benefit we give all employees—an entire month of paid time off for Christmas and the New Year holidays. If we have to stick strictly to the law, then fine. Have it your way!

She could sacrifice everything just to save her mom from death who suddenly had been diagnosed with leukaemia. The only way to do so was to ask her unimaginably wealthy grandad for help. And Victor only waited for such an occasion. He promised to give her all his fortune so that she could pay for the treatment of his own daughter, but there was one condition - Bianca must marry a complete stranger. So there she is, standing in front of ten fabulously handsome men and having just one night to make a final decision. But she doesn’t realize one thing - all of them are werewolves. There is also something more that takes her by surprise - her second nature. Apart from being a nice loving girl, in her veins floats someone else - a Crow Woman. And that is supposed to be her curse. Victor believes that his granddaughter is the key to absolute power - her future child, conceived with a werewolf, could become something exceptional - a CROWOLF. And that would mean dominance over all other species. But not everything goes according to Victor's plan. Bianca finds herself in mortal danger, discovers the dark side of her nature and hates being a beast. What's more her heart is split between two werewolves, Samuel and Michael, who desire her like any other woman in their lives before. It looks like the collision of their worlds brings painful consequences for all of them and the question remains: Will Bianca accept herself as a Crow Woman? Who is she going to fall in love with? Will she be able to save her mom? And the last one - will the legend about the Crowolf prove to be true?

Giselle Shaw, the intern, has sent a five-dollar bonus to the company's group chat that has 500 members in it. I get crowned as the luckiest person for being able to claim 20 cents from the bonus. So, Giselle tags me in the group chat immediately. "Hey Rebecca! Since you're the luckiest person in the group chat, why don't you send a bonus here? There are 500 people in this group chat altogether, so you can just send 5,000 dollars here. "5,000 dollars isn't much for you, right? It so happens to be the bonus you've received from Mr. Gallagher because of the project you've secured. You can send us the bonus so that we can get some good luck from you!" The moment I refuse, Giselle begins playing the pity card in the group chat by claiming that she can't reap good luck for everyone in the company. My boyfriend, Vincent Gallagher, rushes into my office and starts berating me angrily. "Rebecca Campbell, just how stingy are you to not want to send a five-thousand-dollar bonus to the group chat despite being a higher-up in this company? You even made a young woman cry! Is this how you do things? "You'd better send a 50-thousand-dollar bonus to the group chat right now and write a five-thousand-word apology letter by hand! I want you to sincerely apologize to Giselle as well! Otherwise, I'll break up with you! You can forget about retaining your position in this company, too!"
