“In this proposal, you stipulated a monthly salary for the team leader, amounting to fifty thousand. In Light of your track record, even five thousand would be too much.”
“Miss Moore! Don’t you think you’re being too harsh? Although we are mere employees, we are also human!”
Mya recalled the gossip earlier and was even more infuriated. Taking comfort in her relationship with Duncan, she didn’t hold herself back from snapping at Hannah.
“Why are you disparaging our proposal so vehemently? Are you trying to abuse your authority to show off or something?”
Hannah was too clever to fall for Mya’s bait, however.
“I’ll say it again-if you don’t intend to do your job properly, then you should get lost. The company doesn’t need someone Like you.”

Outside, the other employees were craning their neck to sneak a peek at Hannah’s office. They couldn’t hear what was being said, but they could see through glass and noticed the grimace that Mya and her teammates were sporting.
The door flew open a moment later, and Mya stormed out of the office, crying.
“What’s the matter? Why is Mya crying?”
“Did that woman say something again?”
Mya’s teammates left the office after her, each wearing a grim expression.
While the other employees were gossiping quietly outside, Hannah emerged from her office.
“Cleopatra Salazar, please step into my office.”
Seated farthest from the door, a woman sprang up and hurried into Hannah’s office as soon as she heard her name.

“You’ve had a hand in these contracts, haven’t you?”
Hannah slid a pile of former contracts across the desk towards Cleopatra.

Cleopatra moistened her lips nervously, her eyes darting to the contracts before her. She hesitated, unable to find her voice.
“I’m aware you contributed to these, yet Mya’s team claimed the bonus, correct?”
Adjusting her glasses, Cleopatra nodded slowly.
“I merely assisted them, and since I’m not an official part of their team, they didn’t compensate me when the contracts were finalized.”
“Why do you continually aid them? Each team has its own responsibilities.”
Pausing briefly, Cleopatra chose to be honest with Hannah.
“Whenever she needs help, she buys me bubble tea. She claims to be tied up with something else, so I end up assisting with the contracts. It’s hard for me to say no.”
