Estilo de vidaTranscripción
00:00I saw with my own eyes, my female colleague sleeping with the boss for a promotion.
00:05The next day, she became my supervisor.
00:08Not only did she take the 3 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.
00:19It was the company's year-end celebration.
00:21Everyone was celebrating the success of the Sky Peak project.
00:25I 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.
00:37Let's clear this up.
00:38Ethan was just my errand guy.
00:40The core system architecture, I built that myself, night after night.
00:44You're still young, Ethan.
00:46Opportunities, tons ahead.
00:48As for this promotion and the million-dollar bonus, all mine.
00:52She looked at me with open provocation.
00:54Some people whispered that Susan was shameless.
00:57Others laughed at how weak I looked.
00:59I didn't argue.
01:00I didn't make a scene.
01:02I simply stepped back and handed her a document.
01:05Right, Susan.
01:06The reward for good work is more work.
01:09And the final sign-up should be yours.
01:12Susan grinned and took the project liability form.
01:14She signed her name without 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, you don't deserve a private office.
01:27People grabbed my stuff and tossed it into boxes.
01:29I just watched.
01:30See that empty desk in the corner?
01:33Fast internet.
01:34Nice spot.
01:35Go sit.
01:36Not like you've got real work, anyway.
01:39My things were tossed straight into the trash.
01:41Susan, isn't this a bit too much?
01:43She laughed and poked my chest with her finger.
01:47Too much?
01:49That's how things work here.
01:51You've got no connections.
01:52No backup.
01:54What'd you expect?
01:55Right then, notification sounds echoed across the office.
01:58A company-wide email had arrived.
02:01All credit for the Sky Peak project went to Susan.
02:04Million dollar bonus.
02:06A nomination for vice president.
02:08The same colleagues who just pitied me were suddenly fiending it out her.
02:11Congrats, Susan.
02:13You totally earned it.
02:14Only you could handle this project.
02:16Ethan?
02:17Nah, no way he could.
02:19Everyone surrounded her, handing her water, massaging her shoulders.
02:23They praised her while mocking me.
02:25Susan glanced at me and smiled smugly.
02:27Afternoon drinks are on me today.
02:29Everyone's invited.
02:30Then she walked to my desk and slammed a cup of hot water onto it.
02:33The water splashed and burned the back of my hand.
02:36Here, Ethan.
02:37Drink it.
02:38Chill.
02:39Don'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 $200 via Venno to the team chat.
02:51Message read,
02:52Congratulations, Susan.
02:53Future VP vibes.
02:55Legendary move.
02:56Everyone scrambled to claim it, tapping the link like crazy.
02:59Wow!
03:00Generous!
03:01Thanks, Ethan.
03:03Susan looked at her phone and smirked.
03:05At least you finally understand how things work.
03:08Keep quiet.
03:09Do your job.
03:10You'll have your slice.
03:11I nodded quickly with a flattering smile.
03:14Thanks, Susan.
03:15Here's the final handover list.
03:17All the tech details are in.
03:19Just sign here.
03:20I handed her the thick document.
03:22Overwhelmed by the joy of promotion, she signed her name without thinking twice.
03:26Don't drag me into petty stuff.
03:28I've got big decisions to make now.
03:30I stared at her signature.
03:31A ghost of a smile touched my lips.
03:33This wasn't a normal handoffer.
03:35It made Susan lowly responsible.
03:37Any 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.
03:51And they asked the project lead to demonstrate it.
03:54Susan stared at the screen, full of red error codes.
03:58Her eyes widened.
04:00The 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.
04:21I 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.
04:33Susan panicked and slammed her hand onto my keyboard.
04:35Cut the crap!
04:36I'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 and my parents to take care of.
04:52Seeing that her threat worked, Susan relaxed.
04:57She took two thick stacks of cash from her bag and tossed them onto my desk.
05:0220 grand.
05:03Write the script.
05:04It's yours.
05:06Mess 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, I quickly wrote the demo script.
05:28Deep in the code, I hid a little surprise for her.
05:31An Easter egg that would trigger at exactly the right moment.
05:36Susan demonstrated the script successfully during the department meeting.
05:42The system ran smoothly on the big screen.
05:45The boss nodded repeatedly.
05:49Impressive, Susan.
05:51You're truly a genius.
05:53Susan beamed with pride as everyone praised her.
05:56After the meeting ended, she 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, but company rules.
06:19We have to be careful.
06:24All backups and logs are deleted.
06:27This is the company's core secret.
06:29She stared at me as if I'd already outlived my usefulness.
06:32As for that money, I'll log it.
06:34Yours 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.
06:46I almost laughed.
06:47Go on.
06:48Delete it all.
06:49The cleaner, the better.
06:51Her last lifeline.
06:52She sealed her own fate.
06:55And now, not even God could save her.
07:01The day Susan received her million-dollar bonus, she bought a red Porsche.
07:05She deliberately parked it right in front of the company entrance,
07:08in the most visible spot she could find, making sure everyone saw it.
07:13Then she spent half an hour posing beside the car.
07:17Later, she posted the photos online.
07:19One 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, but someone has to wear it.
07:35Every 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, I was in the break room eating instant noodles.
07:49The whole place smelled like beef ramen.
07:52A coworker nearby was touching up her makeup while talking loudly.
07:56Some 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 coworker chuffed in.
08:08If you don't have the talent, don't blame others for taking the credit.
08:12Yeah.
08:14The corporate world is cutthroaty.
08:17If you lose, you're out.
08:20The moment things turned against me, everyone switched sides.
08:24The same people who used to slap my back, call me Ethan, my man, and mooch free lunches off me.
08:30Now they were stepping all over me just to suck up to Susan.
08:33Right then, the boss's secretary rushed into the break room.
08:37She announced a major piece of news.
08:39Next Monday, the chairman from headquarters is 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, her face flushed with excitement.
09:02She almost spilled the coffee in her hand.
09:05To prove how hands-on she was, she 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, already savoring the moment.
09:25Let headquarters see what 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 as if something smelled bad.
09:35God, that cheap smell.
09:37She said with obvious disgust.
09:39Instant noodles again, Ethan?
09:40She glanced around the room with a smug smile.
09:43Take a good look.
09:44The project's doing just fine without you.
09:46At the end of the day, you'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.
10:11I hope your presentation next week goes smoothly.
10:14Wishing you all the success.
10:17And 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.
10:28That night, my phone buzzed in the dark, the screen cutting through the quiet.
10:32It was a voice message from Susan.
10:34Susan, her tone was sharp and commanding.
10:37Have a speech ready for me by tomorrow morning.
10:40Make sure it emphasizes my innovation.
10:42All 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, you'll be looking at your termination letter.
10:53Don't expect me to go easy.
10:54I listened, a faint smile tugging at the corner of my lip.
10:58Then I tapped the screen and replied with a single word, noted.
11:02The day before the inspection, just before the end of the work day,
11:06Susan appeared at my desk, flanked by the HR manager.
11:09She held a printed document in her hand.
11:11Ethan Carter, records show you've been slacking and dragging down the team.
11:16You've created a toxic atmosphere.
11:19She tossed a resignation agreement at me.
11:21The paper's edge scraped my cheek.
11:23Sign it.
11:24Now, then clear out.
11:26Your stuff's already packed.
11:28The office fell completely silent.
11:30No one dared to speak for me.
11:32I could even hear people breathing.
11:34I 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 inspection.
11:42She feared I'd speak out.
11:44Fear I'd steal the spotlight.
11:45Or reveal her as a fraud.
11:47She needed me out.
11:49Before tomorrow.
11:50Susan.
11:51Do you really have to go this far?
11:52I just finished your speech yesterday.
11:55I picked up the agreement from the floor.
11:57My voice shaking.
11:58My eyes stung red.
12:00Susan 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.
12:07Sign it.
12:07Or I call security and have you out.
12:10Don't make this messy.
12:11I took a deep breath.
12:12Then I picked up the pen and signed it without another word.
12:16Fine.
12:16I'll go.
12:17While I packed my things, I deliberately placed a black USB pad on top of the box.
12:23This has the final project files and the encryption keys.
12:27Everything's in there.
12:28Don't lose it.
12:30Susan snatched the drive, plugged it into her computer, and started scanning the folders.
12:35When she saw that all the files were intact, she let out a satisfied sigh.
12:40A triumphant smile spread across her face, thinking 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.
12:54Everyone watched in silence.
12:56I probably looked pathetic from behind.
12:58When I passed Susan's desk, I 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, it 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.
13:30Cut 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.
14:03Susan, since you wanted this project so badly, I'm about to give you a gift you'll never forget.
14:10I pressed the red button.
14:11Remote deactivation.
14:13A message blinked.
14:14Command sent.
14:15Core modules will self-destruct in 12 hours.
14:18Tomorrow at 9 a.m., the chairman would walk in.
14:21And so would Susan's career.
14:23Straight off a cliff.
14:24She loved stealing credit.
14:26Loved the spotlight.
14:28I'd make sure she never saw it again.
14:30Inspection day.
14:31A 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 makeup artist to follow her around.
14:44The scene looked less like a company inspection.
14:47More like the Oscars.
14:48She stood at the entrance, smiling brightly.
14:51She bent in half to open the CEO's car door herself.
14:55The CEO entered the conference room, flanked by executives.
14:59Susan strutted onto the stage in high heels, every step loud and deliberate.
15:04She launched into her presentation with all the drama of a Broadway show.
15:08And then she began telling the story of how she overcame every obstacle.
15:12For this project, I pulled three straight all-nighters.
15:16I even lost a chunk of hair from the stress.
15:19My boyfriend dumped me.
15:21And I was too busy to care.
15:23She blinked slowly, letting a couple of perfectly timed tears slide down.
15:28Dabbed them delicately with a tissue, careful not to smudge her makeup.
15:32Her voice quivered just enough to sell it, like a seasoned actress accepting an award.
15:37Yes, it was grueling, but we made it.
15:40But the moment this project was finished, I knew every sacrifice had been worth it.
15:46For this company, I would give everything I have.
15:49The admin girls in the audience were already dabbing at their eyes.
15:52They clapped so hard, their palms flushed red.
15:55The CEO nodded again and again, clearly impressed.
15:59He leaned toward his secretary, voice low but full of approval.
16:03Not many young people show this kind of drive anymore.
16:05She deserves recognition.
16:07That VP role, she's perfect for it.
16:10That was basically a public announcement.
16:12The VP spot was hers.
16:14Susan caught it and tried to keep her composure.
16:17But her smile kept creeping higher.
16:19But the client representative was a hardcore tech guy.
16:22Nice slides, Mrs. Susan.
16:23He pushed his glasses up and interrupted coldly.
16:26But we'd like to see a live demo on the real-time dashboard.
16:29Pretty words are cheap.
16:31Stable algorithms, that's what counts.
16:33Algorithms don't lie.
16:34Susan switched screens confidently.
16:36The laser point spun in her fingers.
16:38The red dot dancing across the display.
16:42No problem.
16:42Our system stability is top tier in the industry.
16:45It can handle any test.
16:48Please check it out.
16:49The system loaded flawlessly.
16:50The progress bar shot to 100% in seconds.
16:54Green indicators blinked across the dashboard like a heart.
16:57Susan turned toward the CEO with a confident, we've got this look.
17:00Her smug grin screamed victory and bonus checks.
17:02The charts on the screen erupted in motion, red and green lines twisting together like high-tech fireworks.
17:07She jabbed a finger at the screen, chest puffed out with pride.
17:11This is our proprietary AI engine.
17:14It automatically balances workloads and processes hundreds of millions of data points.
17:19Susan threw her arms wide, basking in the applause flooding the room.
17:23Meanwhile, I sat across the street in a quiet cafe, watching the live feed on my phone.
17:28The corner of my mouth curled.
17:31I began counting.
17:33Three, two, one.
17:36Ding.
17:36A massive red warning box suddenly erupted in the center of the screen.
17:41A shrickle alarm pierced the room, making everyone jump.
17:44Severe warning.
17:46Trial version expired.
17:47The entire room froze.
17:49Dead silence.
17:50The CEO's smile locked in place.
17:52The corner of his mouth tritched.
17:53His teacup hung mid-air while hot tea spilled onto his hand.
17:57But he didn't even notice.
17:58Susan froze for half a second.
18:00Then she panicked and slammed the close button.
18:03Oh, uh, must be some kind of antivirus false alarm.
18:08Nothing to worry about, everyone.
18:09Our IT department is always playing these little pranks.
18:12I'll make sure they get a talking to later.
18:14She kept talking, frantically clicking the mouse.
18:17Each click rang sharp and hollow across the silent room.
18:20Sweat bead on her forehead, sliding down and streaking her flawless makeup.
18:24But the more she clicked, the worse it got.
18:27Windows began popping up, one after another, multiplying across the screen like a spreading virus.
18:32Within moments, the entire display was buried under alerts.
18:36Even her polished, perfectly timed presentation disappeared under the chaos.
18:40Then a second alert appeared.
18:41This one was far worse.
18:43A harsh red background.
18:45Bold black letters.
18:46No way to ignore it.
18:48System alert.
18:49Unauthorized copy detected.
18:51Core code signature mismatch.
18:53Self-destruct sequence initiated.
18:55Susan completely lost it.
18:56The laser pointly slipped from her hand.
18:58It hit the floor and shattered into pieces.
19:02What is happening?
19:04Who touched my computer?
19:05Did someone hack the system?
19:07She tried force restarting the computer.
19:10When that didn't work, she crouched down and yanked the power cord from the wall.
19:14Plugged it back in.
19:16Her panic was plain to see.
19:18Every gesture frantic.
19:19Every breath sharp.
19:20But when the system came back, the familiar company logo was gone.
19:25In its place, a massive line of scrolling text dominated the screen.
19:29Bright red.
19:30Immense.
19:31Taunting her.
19:32Then, without warning, the conference room speakers crackled to life.
19:37And then a familiar voice blasted through the room.
19:39Susan.
19:40Max volume.
19:40It was that voice memo she'd sent me a few days ago.
19:43Now on an endless loop.
19:45I don't need to know how the code works.
19:47I just need it to work.
19:50Patch together whatever open source crap you can find.
19:52The boss doesn't get tech anyway.
19:54And the client?
19:55Easy to trill.
19:56As long as it runs, who cares?
19:58The leftover cash?
19:59That's ours.
20:00Everyone gets their cup.
20:01Don't be greedy.
20:02Her voice echoed again.
20:04And again.
20:05Clear as day.
20:06Cold.
20:07Greedy.
20:08Arrogant.
20:09Just grab some open source crap.
20:11The boss doesn't understand a thing anyway.
20:15Susan's face went pale as paper.
20:17Her lips quivered.
20:18No sound escaping.
20:19She slumped against the podium.
20:21The CEO's expression darkened.
20:23Veins bulging across his forehead.
20:25The client slammed his folder onto the table.
20:27This is your idea of professionalism?
20:30What a joke.
20:31The room fell deathly silent.
20:33Only Susan's voice kept looping through the speakers.
20:36Over.
20:36And over.
20:38This was her so-called sleepless dedication.
20:41This was her original algorithm.
20:43Every bit of her bragged-about success had been shredded in an instant.
20:46And underneath was a pathetic, laughable, the queen of the project reduced to a joke.
20:52The big boss slammed his hand on the table and shot up.
20:55The solid wood desk boomed so hard the teacups tipped over.
20:59Scalding tea ran across the table.
21:01Nobody dared move.
21:03He pointed right in Susan's face.
21:05His finger was shaking from rage.
21:07Spit was flying.
21:08This is your original algorithm?
21:10This is what all those sleepless nights were for?
21:13Who the hell do you think you are?
21:15You think this company is some kind of joke?
21:18Do you take us all for fools?
21:21Who are you wonging out mess?
21:23Where were you thinking with this mess?
21:26Susan completely unraveled.
21:27Tears and snot started pouring down together.
21:29Her expensive makeup melted into a mess.
21:31She looked ridiculous, pathetic.
21:33She lunged with fury, her eyes wild, voice sharp and frantic, snapping at anyone in reach.
21:38Then she jabbed at the tech director, screaming,
21:39It's them!
21:40They're trying to ruin me!
21:42The tech team gave me the wrong version!
21:45They're jealous I was getting promoted!
21:47I'm being set up!
21:48Boss, you have to believe me!
21:50I've been loyal to this company!
21:51The tech director had clearly had enough.
21:54He stood up so fast his chair screeched across the floor.
21:57Then he set his laptop down on the table and pulled up the AppGate logs.
22:00Cold face, flat voice.
22:03Mrs. Susan, if you're accusing people, show some proof.
22:05Every code submission came from your account.
22:07IP traces lead straight to your office.
22:09You revoked everyone's edit access.
22:11We could only view files, couldn't change a single line.
22:13So no, we're not taking this fall.
22:14That one's all yours.
22:15The proof was airtight, solid, heavy.
22:17There was nowhere to run.
22:18Client rep let out a cold little laugh,
22:20then stood up and adjusted his suit jacket.
22:22Clearly your company has a serious integrity issue.
22:24His eyes were full of disgust.
22:25We're terminating the contract effective immediately.
22:27Legal action will follow.
22:28And yes, we'll make sure everyone in the industry knows.
22:30Then he turned and walked out with his team.
22:32Didn't look back one.
22:34The conference room door slammed so hard it shook the wall.
22:38The big boss was practically froming.
22:39He grabbed the ashtray and slammed it to the floor.
22:41Shards of glass scattered everywhere.
22:43Then he pointed at Susan, voice thundering.
22:45You just ruined this company!
22:46We're staring down massive penalties!
22:48You couldn't pay this back if we sold you piece by piece!
22:50Do you even understand what you've done?
22:52Can you handle it?
22:53Susan broke down, full ugly sobbing.
22:55Then suddenly, something flashed in her eyes.
22:58Mean, desperate, vicious, like she just found her last life raft.
23:02It was Ethan!
23:03Ethan Carter set me up!
23:04He wrote the code!
23:05He sabotaged it!
23:06I'm suing him!
23:07He did it!
23:08Her hands shook as she pulled out her phone.
23:10She almost hit the wrong button.
23:11Then she called me and turned on speaker.
23:13She wanted me to take the fall.
23:15The call connected.
23:16My lazy voice filled the whole room.
23:18Still rough from sleep.
23:20You could even hear me crunching chips.
23:22Hello?
23:23Ethan Carter, you bastard!
23:24Did you rig the code?
23:25You're dead!
23:26Susan shrieked into the phone.
23:27Her voice was sharp enough to cut glass.
23:29I let out a soft chuckle, calm as a Sunday morning.
23:32Careful, Mrs. Susan.
23:33You can't just throw accusations around.
23:35Remember, I've already resigned.
23:37I'm free now.
23:38And the handoff papers?
23:39They're crystal clear.
23:40The entire project?
23:41Transferred to you.
23:42You reviewed the code.
23:43You approved it.
23:43You signed off on everything.
23:44All of it.
23:45Fast.
23:45Didn't even glance at it.
23:46So, what's the tantrum about?
23:48Trying to back out now?
23:49Susan was screaming so hard into the phone, her voice cracked.
23:52It was ear-panning.
23:53A high-pitched shriek that made your teeth hurt.
23:56Painful.
23:56Desperate.
23:57Insane.
23:58You set me up!
23:59You set me up with this code!
24:01I'm calling the police!
24:02I'll have you arrested!
24:03I'll make sure you rot in prison!
24:05I spoke into the phone like I had all day.
24:07Clear.
24:08Steady.
24:09Slow.
24:10Like it wasn't even my problem.
24:11Mrs. Susan, enough.
24:13Stop playing innocent.
24:15At this rate, the Academy owes you an award.
24:17You signed off on the project.
24:19You certified the code was all original.
24:21Weren't you claiming the entire core framework was yours?
24:24So why is it suddenly mine?
24:27Doesn't add up, does it?
24:28The big boss snatched the phone right out of her hand.
24:31Ethan!
24:31What do you know?
24:32Tell me!
24:33Don't play games with me or I'll sue you too!
24:35I paused on purpose, took a sip of water, cleared my throat.
24:39Then I answered in the most helpful tone possible.
24:42Boss, you might want to have Audit check Susan's expense claims from last week.
24:45That's where the real evidence is.
24:47Finance will spot it in minutes.
24:49As for that original algorithm, the core was built on my trial version.
24:53Otherwise, how do you think it knew exactly when to play Susan's voice memo?
24:57But Susan seems to have forgotten one small detail.
24:59The company approved $50,000 for licensed software.
25:02She kept the money and told me to build it for free.
25:04Then she filed a reimbursement using a fake invoice from some shady shop called CodePass
25:08Solutions.
25:09They specialize in creative paperwork.
25:11So instead of buying the license, she used my trial build, all for $50,000.
25:15And here's the best part, she claimed $50,000.
25:17The fake invoice cost her $500,000.
25:18The other $49,500?
25:20Straight into her own pocket.
25:21That landed in the room like a bomb.
25:23A real one.
25:24The air went still.
25:25No one breathed.
25:27So the Sky Peak project wasn't just stolen credit.
25:29It was junk from the start.
25:31A rigged build.
25:33A fraud.
25:33And on top of that, a crime.
25:36Whispers exploded across the room.
25:38Shock.
25:39Disgust.
25:40Pure disbelief.
25:42Oh my God.
25:42She used $500 knockoff code for the demo?
25:45That's insane.
25:46She stole $50,000 too?
25:48She really threw it all away for money.
25:50The big boss's face turned purple.
25:52Then he hurled the phone straight at the floor.
25:55It was the newest model too.
25:56The screen shattered instantly.
25:58That crack rang out like a funeral bell for Susan.
26:02Stop her.
26:02Don't let her leave.
26:03Security, get in here now.
26:05Audit is going through everything.
26:06I want every dollar traced.
26:07Lock the exits.
26:08Nobody leaves this building.
26:09The door burst open.
26:11Two security guards rushed in.
26:12One grabbed Susan's left arm.
26:14The other seized her right arm.
26:16She struggled and kicked.
26:17But they held her tight and dragged her away.
26:20Her designer gown twisted and slipped off one shoulder.
26:23A thin strap underneath snapped.
26:25Red scratch marks appeared on her skin.
26:28Her hair was messy.
26:29Strands sticking to her sweaty face.
26:31Her makeup had smeared across her cheeks.
26:33Black eyeliner ran under her eyes.
26:36She looked wild.
26:37Completely out of control.
26:39Let me go!
26:40She screamed, thrashing in their grip.
26:43I'm the VP.
26:44You can't touch me.
26:44I have shares in this company.
26:46I built this place.
26:48Boss, I'm innocent.
26:50Ethan set me up.
26:51He's lying.
26:51He's gelidine!
26:54Her voice cracked into a hysterical shriek.
26:57But no one believed a word anymore.
26:59People weren't shocked.
27:00They were entertained.
27:01Phones started coming out across the room.
27:03One person began recording.
27:05Then another.
27:06Someone snapped photos.
27:07Others were already typing fast.
27:09Sending everything straight into the company group chats.
27:12Camera flashes kept going off.
27:14Every second of her meltdown was being saved.
27:16The captions spreading through the chats all sounded the same.
27:19Karma finally showed up.
27:22Greed always catches up with you.
27:24Play stupid games.
27:25Win stupid prizes.
27:27The audit came back right there on the spot.
27:29Fast as hell, too.
27:30In under 30 minutes, they tore her whole life open.
27:32Not just the project.
27:33Everything.
27:34They even dug up petty stuff from the past.
27:36Like stealing company supplies.
27:37Susan hadn't just for months.
27:38Maybe longer.
27:39Fake reimbursements.
27:40Fake claims.
27:40Fake ride receipts.
27:41The big boss stared at the audit report.
27:43His hand trembled.
27:45Not fear.
27:46Pure rage.
27:47His jaw was clenched so tight, the muscles in his face twickled.
27:52Then Legal stepped in.
27:53The head of Legal pulled out the same project liability form.
27:56He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke in a calm, icy voice.
28:00Under this, agreement soon is personally liable for all financial losses caused by the project.
28:03This is your signature.
28:05You acknowledged full responsibility.
28:07That includes client penalties, reputational damage, and development costs.
28:11Total liability, $5 million.
28:13If payment cannot be made, the company will move to freeze your assets.
28:16And we will proceed with criminal charges.
28:18At that point, you may spend the rest of your life paying off this debt.
28:21$5 million.
28:22The number hit Susan like a hammer.
28:24Her eyes rolled back and her knees gave out.
28:26She collapsed onto the floor, limp and stunned.
28:28That brand new Porsche.
28:29That Hermes bag.
28:30Just like that, they turned into collateral.
28:32Too bad.
28:32The car was already used.
28:34The bag barely worth anything.
28:35Put together, they wouldn't even cover the interest.
28:37$5 million was a mountain she could never climb.
28:40Then she started crawling.
28:41Right across the floor, straight to the boss's feet.
28:43She grabbed his leg and begged.
28:44Tears, snot, smeared makeup.
28:46Everything rubbed onto his tailored trousers.
28:48It was humiliating.
28:49Disgusting.
28:49That was wrong.
28:50Boss, please, just give me another chance.
28:52I'll fix it, I swear.
28:53I'll pay everything back.
28:54I'll do whatever you want.
28:55I'll work day and night.
28:56Please don't call the police.
28:57My life will be ruined.
28:59I can't go to jail.
29:00I still have my whole life ahead of me.
29:01Please, boss, please.
29:03He glanced at the security guides.
29:05Get her out of my sight.
29:06Then the siren started.
29:07Down below.
29:08Red and blue lights flashed through the windows, cutting through the middle of the day.
29:11The police came in.
29:12And for suspected embezzlement and commercial fraud, they cuffed her.
29:15That sharp little click.
29:16God.
29:16That sound was beautiful.
29:17Like the light in her eyes finally died.
29:19Gone.
29:19All that was left was fear.
29:20Real fear.
29:21As the former corps engineer, I got a personal call from the boss.
29:25He wanted me back to assist with the investigation.
29:27When I walked into the office again, it was like I owned the place.
29:31Full-on hero treatment.
29:32The receptionist practically leaped to press the elevator button before I even reached it.
29:37Her smile was so bright, so forced.
29:39It could have hurt your eyes.
29:41Mr. Carter.
29:42Big boss shook my hand himself.
29:43Face full of regret.
29:44He even tried to pour me tea.
29:45His hand was shaking so bad it spilled over the cup.
29:47Ethan, I was blind you.
29:49You're the reason this company is still standing.
29:50You took the hit.
29:51Got humiliated for us all.
29:52I owe you big time.
29:54Susan's office?
29:54Cleared out?
29:55It's yours now.
29:56If you need anything added, just let me know.
29:58Double salary, full stock options, whatever you want.
30:00And if you come back, you run the tech division.
30:02Fully in charge.
30:03From now on, nobody touches you.
30:05Not a single person.
30:06I looked out the window at Susan being led into the squad car.
30:08She turned back once.
30:09Just once.
30:10Her eyes were full of regret and jealousy.
30:11Her fake lashes were hanging off from all the crying.
30:13I raised a hand and gave her a little wave.
30:15A tiny smile touched my mouth.
30:17No pity.
30:17Not even a drop.
30:18You did this to yourself.
30:19Hope you enjoy life behind bars.
30:21Susan's sentence ripped through the industry.
30:23Within days, she was a punchline.
30:25She became the cautionary tale they used to scare new hires.
30:29Her name was toxic.
30:30Her career died in public.
30:32That Sky Peak project she kept brasking about?
30:34It became a joke.
30:35A disaster people mocked over drinks after work.
30:38I stepped into the wreckage and rebuilt the system from my original code in 72 hours.
30:43The stress test?
30:44I didn't just pass.
30:46I set a new record.
30:47Watching that broken system come back to life line by line.
30:50That feeling beat anything.
30:52Pure control.
30:53The client came back, doubled the budget, and asked me to take over the team for good.
30:58Headquarters even tried to poach me.
31:00And those coworks who used to stab me in the back?
31:03Now, they treat me like their boss.
31:06Every morning, somebody left coffee on my desk.
31:09They didn't know what I liked.
31:13They just knew better than to cross me.
31:15Mr. Carter, your iced America Mico.
31:18Light ice.
31:19No sugar.
31:20I walked two blocks to get your favorite.
31:23Here you go.
31:24Mr. Carter, we had your office redone.
31:26Everything set up the way you wanted.
31:30I looked at their faces.
31:32The same vultures, now smiling like they'd always been on my side.
31:35It was pathetic.
31:37Most people don't care who was right.
31:39They care who won.
31:41I sat in the bright private office.
31:43Wide windows.
31:45Clean light.
31:46And yes, I was sitting in Susan's old ergonomic chair.
31:48Real leather, too.
31:49I had to admit, it felt damn nice.
31:51Then I locked the new project responsibility form inside the safe.
31:55This time, there was only one name on it.
31:57Mine.
31:57Every letter on that page meant power that nobody could steal from me again.
32:01Susan's parents came to the company once.
32:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:03They made a scene, crying, screaming, even dropping to the floor, begging me to show mercy.
32:08It was ugly.
32:10Ethan, please, go easy on her.
32:14Susan made a mistake.
32:15She knows it, and she's still got her whole life ahead of her.
32:17We'll do anything to make a mess.
32:18I'm begging you, Ethan.
32:20I'm begging you, man.
32:21For our sake, show some mercy.
32:24The crowd closed in, hungry for a scene.
32:29I called security.
32:31One finger to the door, show's over.
32:33Get them out of here.
32:34This is an office, not a goddamn circus.
32:36If they cause one more problem, call the cops and press charges.
32:39I want them handled.
32:40Late apologies means nothing.
32:41Later, I found that Burke and Susan left in the corner.
32:44One look and I knew it was a total knockoff.
32:46A cheap flea market recheck with loose threads screaming for help.
32:5050 bucks, max.
32:51I picked up the bag, tossed it straight into the trash, and didn't look back.
32:55I watched the city light up, coffee in hand.
32:57No more noise.
32:59Just peace.
33:01Look, work doesn't give a damn about your feelings, and it definitely doesn't reward a thief.
33:05You fake it, Neef, you pay for it.
33:08End of story.
33:10Back to my screen.
33:11The code just clicked.
33:13My logic, my syntax, my world.
33:17Nobody can touch this.
33:18Nobody can steal this.
33:20This is where I belong.
33:22And I own every line of it.
33:25That should have been the end of it.
33:26It wasn't.
33:27Three weeks after I took over Skypeak, they made their next move.
33:29I'm leading the team on a core algorithm overhaul.
33:32Then, Liam let out this shout.
33:33Cut right through the silence.
33:34Mr. Carter, we've got a problem.
33:35Ping is hitting 3,000 mems.
33:37It's blowing past our thresholds.
33:38The patterns are wrong.
33:39Looks like a malicious flood.
33:40Someone's inside the system.
33:41I was up in a second.
33:43One look at his screen told me everything.
33:44The server had flatlined.
33:46Latency was off the charts.
33:47Pull the lock, find the source.
33:49Liam's fingers flew.
33:51Then he froze.
33:52Mr. Carter, the logs are gone.
33:54Wiped clean.
33:55They masked the IP behind a dozen layers.
33:57We've got nothing.
33:58Marcus from Infrastructure Froud.
34:00This wasn't an outside job.
34:02No chance.
34:03Whoever did this had core access.
34:05And they wiped the logs clean, no trace.
34:06This is internal.
34:07Has to be.
34:08They know our architecture inside out.
34:10Either someone technical or upper management.
34:13I almost laughed.
34:14It was obvious.
34:15I knew it wasn't over.
34:16Not when Susan fell.
34:17She had cover.
34:19High level cover.
34:20Now that I've taken her down, I'm a target.
34:22Break the code.
34:22Frame the lead.
34:23Save themselves.
34:24That's the play.
34:25Take a breath, everyone.
34:26We're not slipping.
34:27Stay focused.
34:28Stay on track.
34:28And we finish on time.
34:29Liam, take two seniors and spin up the backup cluster.
34:32I want every bit of project data encrypted and migrated over immediately.
34:35Switch the team to offlane dev mode.
34:36And whatever happens, next week's sprint stays on track.
34:39Marcus, you're on the audit.
34:40I want to deep dive into every permit record from the last seven days.
34:43Start with management.
34:44I don't care how minor it is.
34:45If it blinks, I want it flagged and turn on my shadow system.
34:47Full activation.
34:48It sits outside the company's main monitoring network.
34:50So even if they scrub the official logs, they can't touch this one.
34:53I built a shadow system weeks before.
34:54Off network.
34:55Hidden.
34:55Just me and an old friend from Secretary Cady.
34:57Seven days of work.
34:58Nobody knew it existed.
34:59I built it for exactly this moment.
35:01The next few days, brutal.
35:03They tried to hack me.
35:04Failed.
35:05I'm backed up three ways to Sunday.
35:07Then the gossip started.
35:08I was the office executioner.
35:10The snake.
35:11Then the kill shot.
35:13A fake report sent to our biggest client.
35:15A total frame job.
35:16They wanted to bury me, but they left a trail.
35:18It all led back to one man.
35:20Victor Show.
35:21Senior VP.
35:22Perfectly tailored.
35:23Perfectly calm.
35:24The real monster behind the curtain.
35:25Around the office, everyone knew he was in Susan's camp.
35:28Susan didn't see Sky Peak by chance.
35:31She didn't make the promotion shortlist on her own.
35:34Every move was guided by Victor.
35:35He set it all up.
35:36Marcus told me more.
35:38Off the record.
35:39Victor was buried deep in the company.
35:41Family ties to several execs at headquarters.
35:44Protected from above.
35:45Untouchable.
35:46Or so he thought.
35:47And apparently, he'd been padding budgets for years.
35:50Inflating costs.
35:52Pocketing the difference.
35:53Project after project.
35:54After Susan fell, he had two problems.
35:57One, he was terrified her fraud trail would lead straight to him.
36:01Two, he was even more terrified I'd find proof while cleaning up the project.
36:05So he decided to move first.
36:07Take me out before I could take him down.
36:09That afternoon, I was in a meeting with the client's tech team.
36:12We were discussing the next optimization phase.
36:14Normal room, agenda, tone.
36:16Halfway through, their technical lead, Mr. Smith, looked down at his phone and froze.
36:19Mr. Carter, is your project compromised?
36:22The room went still.
36:23Someone just sent me a video.
36:25It shows background code from the Sky Peak.
36:27There's a full breakdown attached.
36:29They're claiming a serious logic flaw.
36:30User data exposure.
36:32Potential system collapse.
36:34Every eye in that room hit me.
36:36At once.
36:37Then the others checked their phones too.
36:39Same message, video, and anonymous account.
36:42I leaned in.
36:43There it was.
36:43The code was real.
36:44The panic was fake.
36:45They dug up an old bug I'd killed months ago and dressed it up like a disaster.
36:49Classic hit piece.
36:50Mr. Smith, that's a smear job.
36:51Please don't let it bait you.
36:52That issue was fixed three months before delivery.
36:55We have the test history, the patch records, and an independent security audit to prove it.
37:00I set my laptop on the table, unlocked it, connected to the backup cluster.
37:05I can show you right now.
37:06Then I did.
37:07No stalling.
37:08No slides.
37:08No excuses.
37:09I walked them through the current security stack.
37:11Encrypted data transfer.
37:12Layered permission controls.
37:13Anomaly blocking.
37:13Real-time risk monitoring.
37:14Every layer.
37:15Every gate.
37:15Every response flow.
37:16Then I ran multiple attack simulations.
37:18The system reacted instantly.
37:19Blocked everything.
37:20Recovered cleanly.
37:20By the end, the tension in the room had changed.
37:23Mr. Smith nodded slowly.
37:24Mr. Carter, I have full confidence in your expertise.
37:26And the demo was strong.
37:28But rumors like these can do real damage to a project's credibility.
37:30I need you to find out where this is coming from.
37:32We can't keep answering for this in front of the board.
37:34You'll have an answer soon.
37:35I promised.
