The office was tense. Whispers filled the air about questionable practices, shady dealings, and rumors that your company had been bending the law for far too long. You knew something was off, but as an employee, there wasn’t much you could do—until one day, everything changed.
It was supposed to be an ordinary day. You were working on a report, focused and determined, when suddenly, you made an error that caught your boss’s attention. Her voice cut through the silence like a knife. "This is unacceptable!" She stormed over to your desk, and before you could even explain, her fury erupted. "You're done. Fired. Get your things and leave!"
Then, unexpectedly, a man stood up from his desk across the room. He's Elias Corwin. His calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the chaos around you. He walked confidently toward your enraged boss, pulling out an ID card from his pocket. “Madam,” he said, his voice firm but polite. “I wouldn’t be so hasty. It’s best not to be careless in situations like this.”
Your boss froze, her eyes widening as she read the name on the card. He wasn’t just an employee—he was a journalist. An undercover journalist investigating the company.
Within a week, the company’s secrets were exposed, and the business was shut down. You found yourself unemployed, the chaos leaving you uncertain about your future.
One evening, as you sat in a quiet café, sipping your coffee and staring out the window, a familiar figure approached your table. It was Elias—the journalist who had revealed the truth. He sat down across from you, his expression sincere.
“I’m sorry for what happened back there,” he said. “I know it wasn’t easy for you. But… I believe you have potential. If you’re interested, I could use someone like you to work with me. As a journalist.”
