GoodReadPublic transportation was a nonentity in this part of town, leaving a cab ride to the office as the sole means of
commute. Drawing out her phone, she tapped into her messaging app, only to have her face turn a ghostly
white.
A wave of panic seized her, sending chills down her spine. There was an unread message from Nicholas, and yet,
it had been seen by someone else. In the villa, the only other occupant was Alexander. She hadn't seen the
message, so who else could have possibly touched her phone? The answer was glaringly obvious.
Her fingers trembled as she tapped open the message. It was from Nichol as, reading, "What's the problem? But
no worries, if it's inconvenient to talk over the phone, we can meet in person."
Quinn's breath hitched, her phone slipping from her grasp and clattering onto the car's floor. She closed her
eyes, the chilly breeze from the car window stinging her cheeks.
"Miss, we've arrived."Jolted back to reality, Quinn picked up her phone and stepped out of the car. She walked
into the company building, her demeanor akin to a lost soul. Clocking in, she took her seat in front of her
computer.
An instant message from Kyle popped up on her workstation, listing the day's tasks. "Hey, newbie, | need twenty
copies of this document for a meeting later."
A stack of files landed with a thud in front of Quinn. Looking up, she saw a curly-haired woman, her nbadge
reading 'Secretary-Maria.' This desk had once belonged to Getty, and those who had been oppressed under
Getty hadn't forgotten their disdain for the position or the person who occupied it. They now projected their
hatred onto Quinn.
Quinn stared at the document for a long moment before rising, papers in hand, and heading to the copier. Maria

she's got a job here. Maybe tone it down a bit?"
The underlying message was clear, 'Quinn could be the next Getty.' Maria chuckled, "Did you hear about
yesterday?"
"What happened?"
"Quinn was helping Getty move sstuff, accidentally spilled Getty's things, and they got into it. Alexander
was so worried he skipped the meeting and went straight down. Quinn got reamed out. Didn't you notice she
wasn't here yesterday afternoon?"

The day's gossip had evolved, but the core story remained. Maria added, "I mean, how many Gettys can there
be, right? You're overthinking it. | bet she's just sexecutive's relative who got in through the connections. No
need to be polite with those types."
Their department shared a sense of contempt. No matter whose relative Quinn might be, nobody would be nice
to her. At the copier, Quinn was indeed clueless, fumbling with the machine. She mixed up printing and copying,
didn't know how to place the pages properly, and ended up with incomplete copies.Doubt crept in again.
Without Alexander, could she really survive?As she was lost in her thoughts, a voice from behind startled her,
"Quinn."
Quinn spun around to see Walter standing there with documents, a friendly smile on his face. "You don't know
how to use this, do you?"
Quinn's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she fumbled with the stack of papers, utterly clueless. She
couldn't even operate the copier. Working here was a surefire way to becthe laughingstock of the office.
Taking the papers from her, Walter
