Cashing Out on the Wrong Billionaire Heiress
Carina Lewis, the head of the department, has been a friend of mine since college. While she successfully climbs up the corporate ladder, I'm stuck being the workhorse at the bottom of the totem pole.
When she's late for work, I sign in for her. When she messes up, I clean up for her.
I'm happy to play along with her, of course. It's not easy to find someone dumb enough to be the scapegoat.
One day, a billionaire investor shows up at the company's doorstep, and the senior executives instruct me to take care of him during his visit.
This evening, when the rest of the office is empty, Carina takes my hand and tells me earnestly, "Bailey, investors like him are ruthless. You won't even know what's coming for you. An innocent woman like you won't be able to handle him. Let me, your best friend, test the waters with him first. Once everything is settled, I'll make you a manager."
I nod sweetly in response.
Hours later, I scurry over to the presidential suite at the hotel, where the billionaire investor is staying, and kick down the door.
"Open up, Dal!"
It's one thing for Carina to constantly take advantage of me, but how dare she dream of becoming my sister-in-law to steal half of my family's assets?
That deluded pipe dream of hers will even make the marble statues in my family's garden roll their eyes.
