00:00I saw with my own eyes my female colleagues sleeping with the boss for a promotion the next day she
00:06became my supervisor
00:08Not only did she take the three million bonus from my project. She also tried to force me out of
00:12the company
00:14But I could only laugh because it meant she would bear all the responsibility for the project. It was the
00:19company's year-end celebration
00:21Everyone was celebrating the success of the skypeak project. I walked on stage to speak
00:27Our director Susan suddenly grabbed the microphone from my hand
00:31With a smile she removed my name from the slide titled project leader and replaced it with her own
00:36Let's clear this up. Ethan was just my errand guy the core system architecture. I built that myself
00:42Night after night. You're still young Ethan
00:46Opportunities tons ahead as for this promotion and the million dollar bonus all mine. She looked at me with open
00:53provocation
00:53Some people whispered that Susan was shameless
00:57Others laughed at how weak I looked I didn't argue. I didn't make a scene
01:01I simply step back and handed her a document
01:04Right, Susan the reward for good work is more work
01:09And the final sign up should be yours. Susan grinned and took the project liability form. She signed her name
01:15without even reading it
01:17After the celebration ended Susan stormed into my office with a group of people
01:23Ethan if you're just a runner
01:25You don't deserve a private office people grabbed my stuff and tossed it into boxes
01:29I just watched see that empty desk in the corner
01:33fast internet nice spot go sit
01:36Not like you've got real work anyway, my things were tossed straight into the trash Susan. Isn't this a bit
01:42too much?
01:43She laughed and poked my chest with her finger
01:47Too much
01:48Too much
01:49That's how things work here
01:50You've got no connections
01:52No backup. What'd you expect?
01:55Right then notification sounds echoed across the office a company-wide email had arrived
02:00All credit for the skypeak project went to Susan
02:04Million dollar bonus a nomination for vice president the same colleagues who just pitied me were suddenly fiending it out
02:11her
02:11Congrats, Susan. You totally earned it
02:14Only you could handle this project. Ethan? Nah, no way he could
02:18Everyone surrounded her handing her water massaging her shoulders. They praised her while mocking me
02:24Susan glanced at me and smiled smugly
02:27Afternoon drinks are on me today. Everyone's invited
02:30Then she walked to my desk and slammed a cup of hot water onto it. The water splashed and burned
02:34the back of my hand
02:35Here, Ethan drink it chill. Don't be jealous
02:40The office burst into laughter, but I said nothing
02:43I just wiped the water off my hand
02:46I pulled out my phone and sent two hundred dollars via Venno to the team chat
02:50Message read
02:52Congratulate Susan future VP vibes legendary move
02:56Everyone scrambled to claim it tapping the link like crazy. Wow
03:00Generous. Thanks, Ethan
03:03Susan looked at her phone and smirked at least you finally understand how things work
03:08Keep quiet. Do your job. You'll have your slice. I nodded quickly with a flattering smile
03:13Thanks, Susan. Here's the final handover list
03:16All the tech details are in just sign here. I handed her the thick document
03:22Overwhelmed by the joy of promotion. She signed her name without thinking twice. Don't drag me into petty stuff
03:28I've got big decisions to make now
03:29I stared at her signature a ghost of a smile touched my lips
03:33This wasn't a normal hand offer
03:35It made Susan lowly responsible any crash any bug she'd take the fall
03:40Susan's victory lasted less than two days
03:44Trouble arrived
03:46The client company sent an urgent email
03:49They demanded an additional stress test and they asked the project lead to demonstrate it
03:54Susan stared at the screen full of red error codes
03:57Her eyes widened
03:59The truth was simple
04:02She didn't understand code at all
04:05She didn't even know how to open the system terminal
04:09Soon she rushed to the corner desk where I now worked
04:12Ethan, write an automatic demo script for me
04:14Now!
04:15Her tone was still arrogant
04:17Acting like she didn't just humiliate me two days ago
04:22I kept typing without looking up
04:25I'd help if I could, Susan
04:27But you stripped me of core access already
04:30Guess I'm just the office errand guy now
04:32Susan panicked and slammed her hand onto my keyboard
04:35Cut the crap! I'll restore your permissions
04:37If you can't handle this, you're out
04:39My colleagues nearby turned to watch
04:42They were waiting for me to embarrass myself
04:45I pretended to tremble slightly
04:47Please, don't fire me
04:49I've got a mortgage
04:51And my parents to take care of
04:52Seeing that her threat worked
04:54Susan relaxed
04:57She took two thick stacks of cash from her bag
05:00And tossed them onto my desk
05:02Twenty grand
05:03Write the script, it's yours
05:07Mess it up
05:08You're out
05:09I stared at the money and swallowed
05:14Then I pretended my hands were shaking
05:17Okay
05:18Thank you, Susan
05:21I'll write it now
05:23With the temporary permissions restored
05:25I quickly wrote the demo script
05:28Deep in the code
05:29I hid a little surprise for her
05:31An Easter egg
05:33That would trigger
05:34At exactly the right moment
05:36Susan demonstrated the script successfully
05:39During the department meeting
05:42The system ran smoothly on the big screen
05:45The boss nodded repeatedly
05:49Impressive, Susan
05:50You're truly a genius
05:52Susan beamed with pride
05:54As everyone praised her
05:56After the meeting ended
05:57She returned with a group of followers
06:00They immediately took the $20,000 back from my desk
06:05Then she brought people from the IT department
06:09They wiped my computer
06:14Ethan, it's not about trust
06:17But company rules
06:18We have to be careful
06:24All backups and logs are deleted
06:26This is the company's core secret
06:28She stared at me as if I'd already outlived my usefulness
06:32As for that money, I'll log it
06:33Yours at the end of the year
06:37Then she clicked away in her heels
06:39Not a single glance back
06:43I stared at the empty screen
06:45Funny
06:45I almost laughed
06:47Go on
06:47Delete it all
06:49The cleaner, the better
06:51Her last lifeline
06:52She sealed her own fate
06:55And now
06:57Not even God could save her
07:01The day Susan received her million dollar bonus
07:04She bought a red Porsche
07:05She deliberately parked it
07:07Right in front of the company entrance
07:08In the most visible spot she could find
07:10Making sure everyone saw it
07:12Then she spent half an hour
07:15Posing beside the car
07:16Later she posted the photos online
07:18One showed the Porsche steering wheel
07:21Another showed her Hermes bag
07:25She even included a photo of the project's final approval page
07:29Her caption read
07:31Heavy is the crown
07:32But someone has to wear it
07:34Every late night was worth it
07:37The comments filled up fast
07:41Coworkers lined up to praise her like loyal lapdogs
07:45When I saw the post
07:46I was in the break room eating instant noodles
07:49The whole place smelled like beef ramen
07:51A co-worker nearby was touching up her makeup
07:54While talking loudly
07:55Some people are just born to be employees
07:59Look at Susan
08:01She's a real queen
08:03That's what a winner looks like
08:06Another co-worker chuffed in
08:08If you don't have the talent
08:10Don't blame others for taking the credit
08:12Yeah
08:14The corporate world is cutthroaty
08:17If you lose
08:18You're out
08:20The moment things turned against me
08:22Everyone switched sides
08:23The same people who used to slap my back
08:26Call me Ethan, my man
08:28And mooch free lunches off me
08:29Now they were stepping all over me
08:32Just to suck up to Susan
08:33Right then
08:34The boss's secretary rushed into the break room
08:36She announced a major piece of news
08:39Next Monday
08:40The chairman from headquarters
08:42Is coming for an inspection
08:44He wants to see the Sky Peak project's live performance data
08:48The whole company buzzed with excitement
08:51The chairman from headquarters was the real power
08:55One word from him could determine the future of the entire branch
08:59When Susan heard the news
09:00Her face flushed with excitement
09:02She almost spilled the coffee in her hand
09:05To prove how hands-on she was
09:07She immediately refused any help from the tech team
09:10Don't worry about it
09:11Susan said with a confident smile
09:13I've been driving this project from day one
09:15No one understands it better than I do
09:19I'll run the demo myself
09:20She straightened her jacket
09:21Already savoring the moment
09:25Let headquarters see
09:27What real leadership looks like
09:29Later she ran into me in the break room
09:31She stopped and waved a hand in front of her nose
09:33As if something smelled bad
09:35God, that cheap smell
09:37She said with obvious disgust
09:38Instant noodles again, Ethan?
09:40She glanced around the room with a smug smile
09:42Take a good look
09:44The project's doing just fine without you
09:46At the end of the day
09:47You're just a pair of hands
09:51Completely replaceable
09:52She looked down at my bowl of noodles with open contempt
09:55I quietly slurped another mouthful
09:58Then I finished the soup completely
10:01Not a drop left
10:02I looked up and forced a humble smile
10:05Susan, you're absolutely right
10:07I'm just here to do the grunt work
10:09You're the real queen
10:11Hope your presentation next week goes smoothly
10:14Wishing you all the success
10:18And maybe keep me in mind once in a while
10:20Susan hotted and turned away
10:22Glad you know your place
10:25Her high heels clicked sharply on the floor
10:27That night, my phone buzzed in the dark
10:30The screen cutting through the quiet
10:31It was a voice message from Susan
10:34Her tone was sharp and commanding
10:37Have a speech ready for me by tomorrow morning
10:40Make sure it emphasizes my innovation
10:41All the nights I stayed up solving problems
10:44Skip the boring technical details
10:46Make it sound impressive
10:47High level
10:48And if it's subpar
10:50You'll be looking at your termination letter
10:53Don't expect me to go easy
10:54I listened
10:55A faint smile tugging at the corner of my lip
10:58Then I tapped the screen
11:00And replied with a single word
11:02Noted
11:02The day before the inspection
11:04Just before the end of the work day
11:05Susan appeared at my desk
11:07Flanked by the HR manager
11:09She held a printed document in her hand
11:11Ethan Carter
11:12Records show you've been slacking
11:14And dragging down the team
11:16You've created
11:17A toxic atmosphere
11:19She tossed a resignation agreement at me
11:21The paper's edge scraped my cheek
11:23Sign it
11:24Now
11:25Then clear out
11:26Your stuff's already packed
11:27The office fell completely silent
11:30No one dared to speak for me
11:32I could even hear people breathing
11:33I looked at Susan's twisted face
11:35She practically radiated excitement
11:37But I saw it clearly
11:38She wanted me gone
11:39Completely
11:40Tomorrow was the chairman's
11:41Inspection
11:42She feared I'd speak out
11:43Fear I'd steal the spotlight
11:45Or reveal her as a fraud
11:47She needed me out
11:48Before tomorrow
11:50Susan
11:51Do you really have to go this far?
11:52I just finished your speech yesterday
11:54I picked up the agreement from the floor
11:57My voice shaking
11:58My eyes stung red
11:59Susan crossed her arms
12:01A cold sneer on her lips
12:03Cut the act
12:04I know exactly what you're thinking
12:05You're a ticking time bomb
12:06Sign it
12:07Or I call security and have you out
12:10Don't make this messy
12:11I took a deep breath
12:12I took a deep breath
12:12Then I picked up the pen
12:14And signed it without another word
12:15Fine
12:16I'll go
12:17While I packed my things
12:18I deliberately placed a black USB pad
12:21On top of the box
12:23This has the final project files
12:25And the encryption keys
12:27Everything's in there
12:28Don't lose it
12:30Susan snatched the drive
12:32Plugged it into her computer
12:33And started scanning the folders
12:35When she saw that all the files were intact
12:38She let out a satisfied sigh
12:40A triumphant smile spread across her face
12:43Thinking she had the upper hand
12:45Good
12:46At least you know your place
12:48And don't let me see you in this industry again
12:50I carried my box and walked toward the elevator
12:53Everyone watched in silence
12:55I probably looked pathetic from behind
12:58When I passed Susan's desk
13:00I suddenly stopped
13:01She was busy directing people to test the presentation
13:04The USB drive was connected to the conference room screen
13:07Her PowerPoint slides filled the large display
13:10She looked incredibly confident
13:12I leaned closer and lowered my voice
13:14Only the two of us could hear it
13:16Susan, just a friendly reminder
13:18The license for the core algorithm
13:21It expires tonight at midnight
13:24Make sure you renew it
13:25Susan didn't even turn around
13:27She rolled her eyes with complete contempt
13:29Cut the tech scare actics
13:31The project's done
13:32Expiration date?
13:33Give me a break
13:34Do you think I'm stupid?
13:36Trying to scam me?
13:37Get out
13:37I'm already annoyed hearing your voice
13:43The cold wind hit my face
13:45The moment I walked out of the building
13:47And yet
13:48I felt a rush of relief
13:49Almost giddy
13:51I pulled out my phone
13:52A red countdown button glowed on the screen
13:54The remote control for the Sky Peak trial system
13:57I glanced back at the office
13:59All lit up and oblivious
14:01A slow smile spread across my face
14:03Susan, since you wanted this project so badly
14:06I'm about to give you a gift you'll never forget
14:09I pressed the red button
14:11Remote deactivation
14:12A message blinked
14:14Command sent
14:15Core modules will self-destruct in 12 hours
14:18Tomorrow at 9am
14:19The chairman would walk in
14:21And so would Susan's career
14:22Straight off a cliff
14:24She loved stealing credit
14:26Loved the spotlight
14:27I'd make sure she never saw it again
14:29Inspection day
14:30A 15-foot red carpet rolled out in front of the company
14:34Fresh flowers lined the entrance
14:36Even the security guards were wearing brand new uniforms
14:40Susan showed up in a borrowed designer gown
14:42She even hired a personal makeup artist to follow her around
14:47The scene looked less like a company inspection
14:50More like the Oscar
14:51She stood at the entrance
14:52Smiling brightly
14:54She bent in half to open the CEO's car door herself
14:58The CEO entered the conference room
15:00Flanked by executives
15:02Susan strutted onto the stage in high heels
15:05Every step loud and deliberate
15:07She launched into her presentation with all the drama of a Broadway show
15:11And then she began telling the story of how she overcame every obstacle
15:15For this project, I pulled three straight all-nighters
15:19I even lost a chunk of hair from the stress
15:22My boyfriend dumped me
15:24And I was too busy to care
15:26She blinked slowly
15:27Letting a couple of perfectly timed tears slide down
15:31Dabbed them delicately with a tissue
15:33Careful not to smudge her makeup
15:35Her voice quivered just enough to sell it
15:37Like a seasoned actress accepting an award
15:40Yes, it was grueling
15:41But we made it
15:43But the moment this project was finished
15:46I knew every sacrifice had been worth it
15:49For this company, I would give everything I have
15:52The admin girls in the audience were already dabbing at their eyes
15:55They clapped so hard, their palms flushed red
15:58The CEO nodded again and again, clearly impressed
16:01He leaned toward his secretary
16:04Voice low but full of approval
16:06Not many young people show this kind of drive anymore
16:08She deserves recognition
16:10That VP role, she's perfect for it
16:13That was basically a public announcement
16:15The VP spot was hers
16:17Susan caught it and tried to keep her composure
16:20But her smile kept creeping higher
16:22But the client representative was a hardcore tech guy
16:25Nice slides, Mrs. Susan
16:26He pushed his glasses up and interrupted coldly
16:29But we'd like to see a live demo on the real-time dashboard
16:32Pretty words are cheap
16:33Stable algorithms, that's what counts
16:35Algorithms don't lie
16:37Susan switched screens confidently
16:39The laser point spun in her fingers
16:41The red dot dancing across the display
16:44No problem
16:45Our system stability is top tier in the industry
16:48It can handle any test
16:51Please check it out
16:52The system loaded flawlessly
16:53The progress bar shot to 100% in seconds
16:57Green indicators blinked across the dashboard like a heart
17:00Susan turned toward the CEO with a confident
17:02We've got this look
17:03Her smug grin screamed victory and bonus checks
17:05The charts on the screen erupted in motion
17:07Red and green lines twisting together like high-tech fireworks
17:10She jabbed a finger at the screen
17:12Chest puffed out with pride
17:13This is our proprietary AI engine
17:16It automatically balances workloads
17:19And processes hundreds of millions of data points
17:22Susan threw her arms wide
17:23Basking in the applause flooding the room
17:26Meanwhile, I sat across the street in a quiet cafe
17:29Watching the live feed on my phone
17:31The corner of my mouth curled
17:33I began counting
17:35Three
17:36Two
17:37One
17:38Ding
17:39A massive red warning box suddenly erupted in the center of the screen
17:43A shrickle alarm pierced the room
17:46Making everyone jump
17:47Severe warning
17:48Trial version expired
17:50The entire room froze
17:51Dead silence
17:52The CEO's smile locked in place
17:55The corner of his mouth tritched
17:56His teacup hung mid-air
17:58While hot tea spilled onto his hand
18:00But he didn't even notice
18:01Susan froze for half a second
18:02Then she panicked and slammed the close button
18:06Oh
18:08Must be some kind of antivirus false alarm
18:11Nothing to worry about, everyone
18:12Our IT department is always playing these little pranks
18:15I'll make sure they get a talking to later
18:17She kept talking
18:18Frantically clicking the mouse
18:20Each click rang sharp and hollow across the silent room
18:23Sweat beaded on her forehead
18:25Sliding down and streaking her flawless makeup
18:27But the more she clicked
18:29The worse it got
18:30Windows began popping up
18:31One after another
18:32Multiplying across the screen
18:34Like a spreading virus
18:35Within moments
18:36The entire display was buried under alerts
18:38Even her polished
18:40Perfectly timed presentation
18:41Disappeared under the chaos
18:42Then a second alert appeared
18:44This one was far worse
18:46A harsh red background
18:48Bold black letters
18:49No way to ignore it
18:51System alert
18:52Unauthorized copy detected
18:54Core code signature mismatch
18:56Self-destruct sequence initiated
18:58Susan completely lost it
18:59The laser pointly slipped from her hand
19:01It hit the floor and shattered into pieces
19:05What is happening?
19:07Who touched my computer?
19:08Did someone hack the system?
19:09She tried force restarting the computer
19:12When that didn't work
19:14She crouched down and yanked the power cord from the wall
19:17Plugged it back in
19:18Her panic was plain to see
19:21Every gesture frantic
19:22Every breath sharp
19:23But when the system came back
19:25The familiar company logo was gone
19:28In its place
19:28A massive line of scrolling text dominated the screen
19:31Bright red
19:33Immense
19:34Taunting her
19:35Then
19:36Without warning
19:37The conference room speakers crackled to life
19:39And then a familiar voice blasted through the room
19:42Susan
19:43Max volume
19:44It was that voice memo she'd sent me a few days ago
19:46Now on an endless loop
19:48I don't need to know how the code works
19:50I just need it to
19:51Work
19:53Patch together whatever open source crap you can find
19:55The boss doesn't get tech anyway
19:57And the client?
19:58Easy to trill
19:59As long as it runs, who cares?
20:01The leftover cash?
20:02That's ours
20:02Everyone gets their cup
20:04Don't be greedy
20:05Her voice echoed again
20:07And again
20:08Clear as day
20:08Cold
20:09Greedy
20:11Arrogant
20:12Just grab some open source crap
20:14The boss doesn't understand a thing anyway
20:18Susan's face went pale as paper
20:20Her lips quivered
20:21No sound escaping
20:22She slumped against the podium
20:24The CEO's expression darkened
20:26Veins bulging across his forehead
20:28The client slammed his folder onto the table
20:30This is your idea of professionalism?
20:33What a joke
20:33The room fell deathly silent
20:36Only Susan's voice kept looping through the speakers
20:39Over
20:39And over
20:40And over
20:41This was her so-called sleepless dedication
20:44This was her original algorithm
20:46Every bit of her bragged-about success had been shredded in an instant
20:49And underneath was a pathetic
20:51Laughable
20:52The queen of the project?
20:54Reduced to a joke
20:55The big boss slammed his hand on the table and shot up
20:58The solid wood desk boomed so hard the teacups tipped over
21:02Scalding tea ran across the table
21:04Nobody dared move
21:06He pointed right in Susan's face
21:07His finger was shaking from rage
21:10Spit was flying
21:11This is your original algorithm?
21:13This is what all those sleepless nights were for?
21:16Who the hell do you think you are?
21:19You think this company is some kind of joke?
21:21Do you take us all for fools?
21:24Who are you wongin' out mess?
21:26Where were you thinking with this mess?
21:29Susan completely unraveled
21:30Tears and snot started pouring down together
21:32Her expensive makeup melted into a mess
21:34She looked ridiculous, pathetic
21:36She lunged with fury
21:37Her eyes wild
21:38Voice sharp and frantic
21:39Snapping at anyone in reach
21:40Then she jabbed at the tech director
21:42Screaming
21:42It's them!
21:44They're trying to ruin me!
21:45The tech team gave me the wrong version!
21:48They're jealous I was getting promoted!
21:50I'm being set up!
21:51Boss, you have to believe me!
21:53I've been loyal to this company!
21:55The tech director had clearly had enough
21:57He stood up so fast
21:58His chair screeched across the floor
22:00Then he set his laptop down on the table
22:01And pulled up the AppGate logs
22:03Cold face
22:04Flat voice
22:06Mrs. Susan
22:07If you're accusing people
22:08Show some proof
22:08Every code submission came from your account
22:10IP traces lead straight to your office
22:12You revoked everyone's edit access
22:13We could only view files
22:15Couldn't change a single line
22:16So no
22:16We're not taking this fall
22:17That one's all yours
22:18The proof was airtight
22:19Solid
22:20Heavy
22:20There was nowhere to run
