In that moment, I finally understood why this older woman disliked me so much. Her hostility wasn’t random. It was because she thought I was trying to take the Sales Manager position from her.
But she was only half right. I wasn’t here to fight for the job. I had been sent by the headquarters to secretly evaluate who was fit to become the next Sales Manager.

Since I didn’t want to argue, I quickly picked up the sanitary pad and prepared to go to the restroom. But Veronica stepped in front of me again, blocking my way. Her tone was full of fake concern as she said, “I’m doing this for your own good, you know?”
“A woman without self-respect is like trash! Don’t think you can get rich by lying down all day and dreaming of easy money!”
“I’ve seen plenty of girls like you before. Let me tell you something-”
I looked at her twisted, furious face and interrupted her coldly, “You can eat whatever you like, but you can’t say whatever you like. You should know that. It seems like you’ve made a lot of money by lying down, right?”
