The Idiot Intern Catastrophe
The company just hired a clueless new intern.
For a contract worth millions, she misplaced a decimal point and practically handed it over for one dollar.
I chased after the high-speed train and drank until my stomach bled before I managed to recover the company's losses.
While I was still in the hospital, she ran to my fiance, Edward Cooper, to complain.
"I've always been bad at math. How was I supposed to know something like that!"
Edward smiled at her dotingly, replying, "You just lack experience. Go ahead and do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, Zoe will take the blame."
I was so furious I nearly quit on the spot.
To so-call "make it up to me," Jenny insisted on cleaning my office as an apology. She ended up throwing newly approved bidding proposals straight into the shredder.
The company lost hundreds of millions. I was fired and sued.
I ended up in prison, where I was tortured to death by inmates.
As I lay there on my last breath, I heard Jenny crying once more.
"If only I were smarter… maybe Zoe would still be alive?"
Edward stroked her head gently, soothing her, "She was incompetent. She couldn't even keep track of her documents. You're still young. You don't need to blame yourself."
I died of anger.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day Jenny first joined the company.
