Boss Framed Me, so I'm Reborn Petty
I've gotten reborn on the night before Christmas.
The first thing I do is send my boss, Jack Davenport, a resignation letter. Then, I board the next flight to Coral Bay for my vacation.
In my previous lifetime, my colleague, Julie Trent, had called me when I was on vacation. She told me that the numbers on the account ledgers wouldn't add up, and the IRS would be conducting its audit soon. That was why she pleaded with me to save her.
After hearing Julie's pleas, I boarded the earliest flight back to the city before hurrying back to my company. There, I double-checked all the accounts, leading to the discovery of the deficit in the accounts. So, I used my own money to pay off the deficit, allowing the company to pass the IRS' audit process.
Even so, the submission of our accounts went past the deadline, resulting in the company receiving a fine.
Julie decided to pin the blame on me.
"There's a deficit in the accounts because Annie wanted to secretly embezzle the company's funds!"
I quickly explained everything to Jack. But the very same boss, who used to be understanding and rational, just looked at me.
"I thought you were on a vacation, Annie. Why did you return to the company all of a sudden? Did you plan on making the company suffer from a deficit in the accounts right before the IRS audit just because you're about to switch companies?
"Anyway, you're the one causing the financial loss, to begin with. That's why you must compensate the company for the loss!"
Later on, Jack hired the best lawyer and took me to court, completely disregarding whatever relationship we had as employer and employee.
In the end, I lost the lawsuit, which meant I had to pay double the compensation to my company. On top of that, Jack even spread the word so that no one in the same industry would hire me.
After that, I sold all of my assets, yet I still couldn't gather enough money to clear the debt. So, I could only take on the grungiest and lowliest of all jobs.
As I couldn't eat my fill for a long period of time while having to take on huge amounts of work, I ended up dying from exhaustion in the end.
