Exactly ten minutes after I sent that message…
Brendan’s phone buzzed.
Then Diane’s.
Then Jessica’s.
Urgent notifications.
Emails.
Alerts.
I watched the confusion spread across their faces.
The arrogance disappeared first.
Then came fear.

Several men in dark suits walked in.
The company’s legal team.
They carried folders filled with documents.
Termination papers.
Internal investigations.
