Chapter 5 - The Corporate Thief
"She brings absolutely no value?" the mafia boss repeated smoothly, his voice completely devoid of human mercy.
He gently reached down and offered his tattooed hand to Clara. The twenty-something assistant hesitated for a fraction of a second, then placed her small, trembling fingers into his grip. He effortlessly pulled her up from the cold marble floor, keeping her safely tucked behind his broad, muscular frame.
"If she brings no value, Victoria," the mafia boss whispered coldly, "then why have you been illegally presenting her financial algorithms to the Board of Directors under your own name for the last six months?"
Victoria physically stopped breathing. The warm ballroom lighting suddenly felt incredibly freezing.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Victoria panicked loudly, her voice cracking with sheer desperation.
"You stole her financial models," the mafia boss explained flawlessly, ensuring the wealthy, elite corporate investors in the crowd heard every single devastating word. "You stole her market projections. You actively presented her brilliant algorithms to secure a multi-million-dollar executive bonus. You built your entire fake reputation on the back of the woman you just shoved onto the floor."
The entire ballroom erupted into chaotic, furious whispering. The millionaires realized they had been massively defrauded by the very executive standing in front of them.
