Rosa looked at the glowing screen. Her eyes widened in absolute shock as she saw the deposit notification: $25,000.00 — Direct Deposit Approved.

“Mr. Hayes... I... I don't understand,” Rosa sobbed, her voice trembling. “Harrison told me you were cutting my pay...”
“Harrison is a thief, Rosa,” Daniel declared softly, standing back up. “He has been stealing your salary and putting it into his own pocket for months while using my name to scare you into silence.”

Camila’s face lit up with a brilliant, sunny smile. She wrapped her small arms around Daniel’s waist in an impulsive, heartfelt hug.
Daniel, taken aback for a moment, gently patted the little girl’s head, a resolute look settling in his eyes.
