Framed for Kickbacks at My Boss' Secret Farm
After the team-building trip is over, I get complimented by my boss and colleague for organizing it because it's been a fun experience for everyone, not to mention the money they've paid is worth the experience.
But the next day, I get publicly shamed by Marilyn Ross, a finance executive, in the company's group chat.
She has posted a few ambiguous transaction screenshots and accused me of receiving 50 thousand dollars' worth of under-the-table commissions from the farm.
All of my colleagues instantly take Marilyn's side. They begin berating me for acting all pretentious when in reality, I'm despicable enough to do all those underhanded things behind their backs.
But that's when my boss, Ethan Keller, leaves a question mark in the group chat.
The smug Marilyn begins coercing me into writing a resignation report and returning the money.
But what she doesn't know is that the farm is Ethan's private business. How on earth can I receive such commissions, in the first place?
