Chapter 6 - The Undercover Boss
Victoria froze. The arrogant, razor-sharp CEO suddenly looked very small in her dark sequined dress. She stared at Daniel, her brain desperately trying to process the horrifying reality of what she had just done.
"You're... you're Daniel Sterling?" Victoria choked out, her voice trembling. "That's impossible! Why would a billionaire be serving wine?!"
Daniel didn't raise his voice. He didn't need to. "Because three months ago, I purchased the Vanguard Holdings debt portfolio. Your company owes me forty-five million dollars, Victoria."
Victoria’s knees visibly buckled. She grabbed the edge of the table to keep herself from collapsing.
"I wanted to see exactly who I was doing business with before I decided whether to restructure your loans, or liquidate your assets," Daniel explained, his eyes as cold as ice. "So, I bought the building, and I took a job on the floor. I've spent the last two months watching how the wealthy elite treat the people they believe are beneath them."
Daniel stepped closer to her table, looking down at the spilled wine.

"You come in here three times a week," Daniel said softly. "You scream at the staff. You tip nothing. You treat working-class people like garbage because you think your title protects you. I didn't spill the wine by accident, Victoria. I poured it to see if you had a single ounce of basic human decency."
