The Stolen Life- My Mother Gave My Fiancé to Her Favorite Student novel Chapter 131

“Mr. Voss, as soon as Josie got her flowers this morning, Maya made her print hundreds of pages of garbage in an hour. Josie stood by the printer until her back was killing her, and all she printed was useless junk no one would ever read. That’s obvious workplace harassment!”

When Thomas saw the half–printed stack on the desk, the last trace of softness vanished from his face

He pulled out a pile of the incomprehensible documents, tore them to pieces in a rage, and flung the scraps all over me.

“I actually thought about making it up to you. Our company’s culture has always been about caring for our employees. A toxic woman like you, bullying your subordinates–you’re an embarrassment.”

Behind the shower of paper, Josie and her friends wore smug, triumphant smiles.

What Thomas didn’t know was that those pages held my latest technical report, finished after five all–nighters.

I’d told the intern to print them this morning so I could deliver them to East Pacific Group–our biggest client -before their bidding lockdown, to secure the deal before anyone else.

He grabbed another stack and slapped them hard across my face.

“Apologize to Josie. Now.”

The sharp edges of the A4 paper left thin, red streaks on my skin. The dull ache was nothing compared to the cold despair in my chest.

I bent down and picked up the work I’d poured my soul into, my voice as icy as my heart.

“She was too busy showing off her flowers to finish the print on time like I ordered. She’s the one who owes me an apology.”

Thomas’s face turned darker still. He stepped forward and grabbed my collar.

“Maya, when did you become so fake and vicious? You’re in the wrong, and you’re willing to throw away your dignity just out of jealousy? Kneel down and apologize to Josie, and I… might still let you stay on the team.”

The crowd erupted.

“You homewrecker, abusing your power to bully the real one–and you have the nerve to demand an apology?”

“Wasting company resources on garbage and messing with our work–what gives a selfish bitch like you the right to be a supervisor?”

“We all know you’re pathetic, working for free just to cling to Mr. Voss. I guess you couldn’t keep pretending

anymore over one bouquet, huh?”
