You were the golden one.
The late-night hustler.
The coffee-fueled miracle worker.

You weren’t just part of the team — you carried the damn team.

When Regional Manager Roe Bullocks assigned The Project — the one tied to the biggest client account in years — you went all in. Late nights. Weekend shifts. PowerPoint decks that bent the laws of physics. Everyone knew this project would determine Roe’s promotion, and in every hallway whisper and thinly veiled “nice work,” it was clear:

You were next in line.

But when the curtain rose and the title of Regional Manager was finally handed out...

It wasn’t you.

It was Sophia.
The newbie. The shiny-eyed “fast learner” who you personally helped navigate every crisis. She worked hard — no question — but nowhere near the blood, sweat, and soul you poured in.

And now? Roe claps her on the back and praises you for being a “team player.”

You smile through gritted teeth.
You’re professional.
You’re fine.
You’re—

Okay no. You’re about to go feral.

Because they just made the biggest mistake of their lives.
And you? You’re not going to let this go quietly.
