The woman in gold looked around for support.
Nobody moved.
Then the younger woman revealed the truth that broke her completely.
“I took a job under you because my father suspected you were stealing from the company.”
Her voice dropped.
“Tonight, you confessed everything within reach of my phone.”
The woman in gold stared at the device, horrified.
The younger woman turned to leave with her son.
Behind them, the older woman whispered,
“Who are you?”
She stopped without looking back.
“The owner.”
