00:01:05designer bag in hand limited edition naturally that was camilla alistair's daughter fresh back

00:01:35she'll be taking full control i sat in the corner and looked directly at alistair mr hawthorne i've been

00:01:40working on this project for six months all the commercial terms and technical coordination were

00:01:44finalized by me we're supposed to sign this morning alistair picked up his thermos and took a leisurely

00:01:50sip i know then why replace me at the last minute he glanced at me camilla just got back she

00:01:56needs a

00:01:57platform to develop her skills and a major project to put on her resume you're a sales manager training

00:02:02new talent and cultivating successors isn't that part of your job mr hawthorne i hold all the client

00:02:10relationships and the negotiated margins a last minute handoff the client will never accept it i opened

00:02:15my laptop calmly and projected six months worth of communication records and the final contract onto

00:02:20the big screen the company's clients belong to the company not to you personally alistair slammed the

00:02:26table and loomed over me you're on the company payroll using the company's platform any results you

00:02:31achieve belong to the company this is a routine personnel adjustment what exactly is your problem the room

00:02:37went silent some people stared at their files other snuck glances at me from the corners of their eyes

00:02:42barely concealing their schadenfreude five years of relentless effort had just become a joke understood

00:02:47camilla clicked over in her stilettos all smugness and swagger and stopped at my desk she casually

00:02:52flipped through the thick stack of printed bids and materials i'd prepared manager bancraft i'll be

00:02:57counting on your support going forward i looked at her coldly said nothing she didn't seem embarrassed

00:03:02at all she leaned down and lowered her voice oh and the core materials you compiled client preferences

00:03:07analysis notes i already took them that's company property then thank you manager bancraft camilla scooped

00:03:14up the stack without hesitation and walked out after the meeting a swarm of colleagues immediately

00:03:20surrounded camilla miss hawthorne is so incredible you just got back and you're already closing a 50

00:03:25million dollar deal mr hawthorne clearly has such high hopes for you we'll need miss hawthorne to look

00:03:32out for us from now on camilla basked in the flattery as she passed my desk she deliberately

00:03:37stopped and glanced down at me manager bancraft you're not gonna hold a grudge over something this

00:03:42small are you she curled her lip with contempt honestly as a hired sales manager there's really

00:03:46no need to think so high of yourself or hold clients so tightly after all without the hawthorne

00:03:52platform you're nothing i sat in my chair said nothing camilla gave a cold snort and started away

00:03:58a new meeting invite popped up in the corner of my screen

00:04:03i clicked it open the subject line read final proposal review meeting clean energy project

00:04:08the attendee list included the client company's procurement director the meeting organizer was

00:04:13camilla scheduled in half an hour i opened the attachment the entire proposal was covered in

00:04:17dense notes and revisions the exact final version i'd stayed up until one in the morning last night

00:04:22perfecting she hadn't even bothered to change a single punctuation mark i've been in sales at hawthorne

00:04:27supply chain for five years i started as an intern eventually became the company's top performing

00:04:32sales manager for three consecutive years in the end i was nothing more than a stepping stone for

00:04:36the hawthorne's used up and kicked aside i stared at the email invitation for the final proposal review

00:04:41meeting clean energy project closed my laptop since mr hawthorne had handed this prize to his daughter

00:04:46i wasn't about to waste my time on it anymore half an hour later camilla started into the conference

00:04:51room with two junior salespeople in tow i kept my eyes on my spreadsheet and didn't look up

00:04:56less than 20 minutes later the conference room door burst open a young salesperson rushed out

00:05:00face pale wiping cold sweat from her forehead manager bank will

00:05:06manager bank will the client suddenly changed the requirements they want the first delivery

00:05:10cycle shortened by a full week miss hawthorne said she doesn't understand production scheduling

00:05:15details so she told me to ask you i didn't look up go ask miss hawthorne the project has been

00:05:20fully transferred for all future business matters ask her the salesperson looked torn but when she

00:05:26saw i wasn't budging she turned and went back in a few minutes later camilla came storming out in her

00:05:30heels aurora the delivery timeline the client is demanding is completely unreasonable how exactly do

00:05:37you negotiate this i lifted my eyes according to the contract standards and production limits

00:05:42it's all spelled out in black and white in the contract appendix be specific you're a sales manager

00:05:47can't you help me figure something out do you really have to just sit there and watch she was

00:05:52practically grinding her teeth miss hawthorne i'm strictly following the company's directives

00:05:57and doing my job if you can't understand the handover documents that's your problem you she clearly

00:06:03hadn't expected me to be this blunt her face went through several shades of red and white she glared at

00:06:07me grabbed her files and slammed the door on her way back to the conference room

00:06:13but this was only the beginning at lunch the client sent an urgent email requesting a revision to the

00:06:18core product's technical specifications the change seemed simple but it required balancing against the

00:06:23technical baselines established over seven prior rounds of negotiation i've been managing this project

00:06:28for six months i knew all the details but camilla an outsider had no clue she printed out the email

00:06:34with a

00:06:34dark expression and slapped it on my desk again what does this parameter even mean help me reply

00:06:41i told you i'm not in charge of this project anymore i looked at her all the materials are in

00:06:46the system

00:06:46look them up yourself you were managing it just fine before why are you playing dumb now camilla's voice

00:06:52turned shrill i did manage it now your father unsurroneously kicked me off seeing that i'd completely

00:06:58drawn the line she snatched up the documents and stormed off in a rage over the next few hours in

00:07:03a

00:07:03desperate attempt to prove herself to her father camilla started giving blind orders then at four

00:07:07in the afternoon a bombshell dropped in the company project group chat camilla had taken it upon herself

00:07:12to slash the unit price of two core products by nearly eight percent when i saw the new pricing sheet

00:07:17i frowned this wasn't a normal concession it completely disrupted the market's price equilibrium

00:07:22buyers in this industry would rather pay more for peace of mind than trust a supplier who constantly

00:07:27changed terms and broke industry norms i messaged her privately are you insane the client wants stable

00:07:32supply not your malicious price war her reply came fast dripping with arrogance don't lecture me

00:07:37i'm doing this to boost company performance you don't understand it all

00:07:43that evening she couldn't wait to send the fatal new pricing proposal to the client

00:07:47the next morning at 10 camilla was breezing out of her private office ready to bask in her father's

00:07:52praise suddenly her phone started vibrating non-stop she picked up smile plastered on her face then

00:07:58whoever was on the other end said something and her expression froze mid-grin turning deathly pale

00:08:02no that's not mr stark please let me explain but wasn't that the price before we recalculated

00:08:08everything her voice grew shakier sweat beaded on her forehead in the end all she could manage her

00:08:13weak repetitions okay i understand she hung up the entire office went dead silent hearing the

00:08:19commotion alistair stormed out of his office face grim what's going on what's all this noise about

00:08:24camilla's lips trembled she couldn't get a single word out a terrified salesperson stood up

00:08:29reluctantly to report mr mr hawthorne the client said our new pricing seriously disrupted industry

00:08:35expectations showed no sincerity not only have they paused the signing they also alistair's eyelid

00:08:41twitched what else the client is demanding an immediate replacement of the project lead and they

00:08:47said moving forward they're blacklisting hawthorne from all future bids boom alistair's face went from

00:08:53red to purple his entire body shook with rage and he whipped around to glare at camilla

00:08:59the day after the client paused the signing the company called an emergency meeting when i walked

00:09:04into the conference room camilla was already seated in front of her sat the pricing sheet she'd

00:09:09so cleverly tampered with alistair sat front and center face ashen the moment i sat down alistair

00:09:15slammed people and barked this project has caused a massive problem today we're pinning

00:09:20responsibilities on individuals camilla's eyes were red she struck first mr hawthorne

00:09:25i don't think this can all be blamed on the final quote this project was managed by manager

00:09:30bankrupt from the start the proposal and the original pricing baseline were both set by her

00:09:37camilla's tone was pitiful when i took over the handoffer materials were incomplete

00:09:41i was just trying to maximize the company's profit how was i supposed to know she left me a mess

00:09:47i almost laughed out loud

00:09:51incomplete materials when i handed everything over every document was in the company system

00:09:56client emails meeting minutes pricing records not a single thing missing aurora how do you explain this

00:10:02i opened my laptop and projected the project materials onto the meeting room screen this is

00:10:07the baseline pricing proposal the client approved in the first round this is the version after the

00:10:12second round of technical parameter refinement this is the final quote the client signed off on the

00:10:17night before the contract was supposed to be executed i pulled up each document one by one

00:10:22from start to finish the client never requested a major price reduction after miss hawthorne took over

00:10:29she unilaterally modified the pricing without client confirmation camilla's face shifted she doubled down

00:10:35i just felt the original pricing wasn't competitive how can you prove the client wouldn't have accepted it

00:10:42i clicked open an email the client already told us the screen displayed it clearly due to significant

00:10:47discrepancies between the quoted price and the previously confirmed proposal the project is on

00:10:52hold please replace the project lead and resume discussions the room went quiet for a few seconds

00:10:57i thought the matter was settled but alistair frown slammed the table again even if camilla lacked

00:11:01experience with the commercial pace why would the client demand a personnel change outright if you'd

00:11:07maintained a solid client relationship from the start how could one minor proposal adjustment cause

00:11:12them to turn on us like this i froze for a second then forced down the rage building in my

00:11:17chest

00:11:17my tone turned icy mr hawthorne the pricing change is the reason you forcibly assigned this project to

00:11:24miss hawthorne all the violations are documented in emails if we're assigning blame

00:11:28enough

00:11:31alistair cut me off brutally dane's bulging on his forehead now that something's gone wrong instead of helping the

00:11:36company solve it you dare stand here and deflect responsibility i'm deflecting responsibility

00:11:43i'm the boss of this company is it your place to tell me how to do my job

00:11:48the company trained you for five years paid your salary so you could help others at critical moments

00:11:54is that it camilla sat beside him head down but the corner of her mouth curled into a smug little

00:11:59smile

00:11:59i suddenly felt very tired five years i've been in hawthorne for five years from regular sales to sales

00:12:05manager i'd closed countless deals for this company when clients were difficult i negotiated

00:12:09when suppliers had problems i coordinated them when projects hit last minute snags i drove over in the

00:12:15middle of the night to fix them but in the end just because camilla was alistair's daughter five years

00:12:20of my work could be handed to her on a silver platter and the mistakes she made could just as

00:12:24easily be

00:12:24dumped on me seeing that i'd stopped arguing alistair assumed i'd backed down he picked up a document

00:12:31this project was originally your responsibility now that it's caused such a massive loss the company

00:12:38can't let this slide without consequences so given that you as sales manager have been grossly

00:12:45negligent in your duties and caused immeasurable financial damage to the company the management

00:12:51team has decided effective immediately all your quarterly bonuses and project commissions are revoked

00:12:56and your employment contract is terminated i snapped my head up you're firing me yes pack your things

00:13:03and get out of hawthorne now the room was silent fine i stood up no hesitation no regret as you

00:13:10were

00:13:10alistair seemed caught off guard by how readily i agreed ignoring their stunned expressions i picked up

00:13:15the termination notice from the table walked out of the conference room

00:13:22back at my desk i opened my drawer and started packing my things into a cardboard box five years

00:13:27there really wasn't much to take the heavy commemorative trophy the company had given me

00:13:31when i won top sales my second year i reached out picked it up and threw it into the trash

00:13:35i didn't

00:13:36want a single thing that belonged to hawthorne a few colleagues i'd been close with came over

00:13:40faces full of indignation manager bankrupt are you really leaving yeah but this whole thing was

00:13:45obviously if they won't keep me here somewhere else will when i walked out of the office area

00:13:50carrying the box i glanced back five years i started here and i ended here the elevator door

00:13:55slid open i stepped inside with the box and looked at my calm reflection in the brushed steel

00:13:59five years ago i hid my identity and charged into this private company full of passion swearing i would

00:14:04rely on my family for a single cent that i'd carve out my own path through sheer ability

00:14:09now looking back i did win top sales for five years but i'd also seen enough of humanity's

00:14:14ugliness and selfishness i thought that when i left hawthorne i'd feel some regret but now i realize

00:14:19the real disappointment is that the people i took seriously were never worth it

00:14:22the elevator stopped on the first floor i stepped out of the hawthorne building with my box in hand

00:14:27the moment i walked down the steps asleep imposing black phantom blighted to a stop right in front of me

00:14:33the rear door opened a middle-aged man in a tailored suit expression solemn quickly stepped out

00:14:38when he saw me he walked forward and bowed deeply harris the chairman has been waiting for you

00:14:46on the private coastal road leading to the bancroft estate a convoy of luxury vehicles

00:14:50worked tens of millions stretched as far as the eye could see alistair sat in the back of his

00:14:55roll's voice fine beads of sweat dampening his freshly styled hair to secure an invitation to

00:14:59bancroft group's annual tender gala he pulled every string he had it had taken everything just to get

00:15:04one invitation dad bancroft group's tender gala this year is on a whole different level i heard even

00:15:12arthur bancroft the richest man in silver spring city is making a personal appearance camilla was

00:15:17wearing a newly purchased limited edition haute couture gown face glowing with excitement if we can

00:15:22connect with bancroft today hawthorne's market value will at least double in the second half of the

00:15:26year don't worry alistair straightened his tie once we get inside stay sharp in silver spring city there

00:15:35aren't many people who dare disrespect hawthorne

00:15:40half an hour later the two finally passed through three layers of strict security checks and walked

00:15:45into the gilded resplendent banquet hall along the red carpet alistair held a glass of champagne

00:15:49leading his daughter through the crowd and basking in the envious and flattering gazes around them

00:15:53mr hawthorne i heard your daughter just returned from abroad and was made vice president immediately

00:15:58so young and accomplished alistair's smile stretched wide not at all young people need

00:16:04experience hawthorne will depend on her in the future i hope everyone will look out for her just

00:16:09then a stir rippled through the vip section arthur bancroft chairman of bancroft group walked slowly

00:16:14onto the stage alistair perked up he saw his chance he immediately pushed his way to the front end

00:16:19just as arthur was about to take his seat plastered on a fawning smile and stepped forward

00:16:26you're fired aurora five years into my career at hawthorne global i got fired the reason the

00:16:31boss's daughter camilla hawthorne parachuted in as vice president not only did she steal the 50

00:16:36million dollar deal i just closed she pinned the blame for its failure squarely on me my bastard

00:16:41boss waved his hand dismissively told me to pack my things and get out so i left it wasn't until

00:18:02i sat in the corner and looked directly at alistair mr hawthorne i've been working on this project for

00:18:07six months all the commercial terms and technical coordination were finalized by me we're supposed to

00:18:12sign this morning alistair picked up his thermos and took a leisurely sip i know then why replace me

00:18:18at the last minute he glanced at me camilla just got back she needs a platform to develop her skills

00:18:24and a major project to put on her resume you're a sales manager training new talent and cultivating

00:18:29successors isn't that part of your job mr hawthorne i hold all the client relationships and the

00:18:36negotiated margins a last minute handoff the client will never accept it i opened my laptop calmly and

00:18:42projected six months worth of communication records and the final contract onto the big screen the

00:18:47company's clients belong to the company not to you personally alistair slammed the table and loomed

00:18:52over me you're on the company payroll using the company's platform any results you achieve

00:19:12understood camilla clicked over in her stilettos all smugness and swagger and stopped at my desk

00:19:17she casually flipped through the thick stack of printed bids and materials i'd prepared manager

00:19:22bankraft i'll be counting on your support going forward i looked at her coldly said nothing

00:19:26she didn't seem embarrassed at all she leaned down and lowered her voice oh and the core materials

00:19:54high hopes for you we'll need miss hawthorne to look out for us from now on camilla basked in the

00:20:00flattery as she passed my desk she deliberately stopped and glanced down at me manager bankraft

00:20:05you're not going to hold a grudge over something this small are you she curled her lip with contempt

00:20:10honestly as a hired sales manager there's really no need to think so high of yourself or hold clients

00:20:15so tightly after all without the hawthorne platform you're nothing i sat in my chair said nothing

00:23:11are in the system look them up yourself you were managing it just fine before why are you playing

00:23:17dumb now camilla's voice turned shrill i did manage it now your father unsurroneously kicked me off

00:23:22seeing that i'd completely drawn the line she snatched up the documents and stormed off in a rage over the

00:23:27next few hours in a desperate attempt to prove herself to her father camilla started giving blind orders

00:23:32then at four in the afternoon a bombshell dropped in the company project group chat camilla had taken

00:23:37it upon herself to slash the unit price of two core products by nearly eight percent when i saw the

00:23:42new pricing sheet i frowned this wasn't a normal concession it completely disrupted the market's

00:23:47price equilibrium buyers in this industry would rather pay more for peace of mind than trust a

00:23:51supplier who constantly changed terms and broke industry norms i messaged her privately are you insane

00:23:57the client wants stable supply not your malicious price war her reply came fast dripping with arrogance

00:24:02don't lecture me i'm doing this to boost company performance you don't understand at all

00:24:09that evening she couldn't wait to send the fatal new pricing proposal to the client

00:24:13the next morning at 10 camilla was breezing out of her private office ready to bask in her father's

00:24:18praise suddenly her phone started vibrating non-stop she picked up smile plastered on her face then

00:24:23whoever was on the other end said something and her expression froze mid-grin turning deathly pale

00:24:28no that's not mr stark please let me explain but wasn't that the price before we recalculated

00:24:34everything her voice grew shakier sweat beaded on her forehead in the end all she could manage her

00:24:39weak repetitions okay i understand she hung up the entire office went dead silent hearing the commotion

00:24:45alistair stormed out of his office face grim what's going on what's all this noise about camilla's lips

00:24:51trembled she couldn't get a single word out a terrified salesperson stood up reluctantly to

00:24:55report mr mr hawthorne the client said our new pricing seriously disrupted industry expectations

00:25:02showed no sincerity not only have they paused the signing they also alistair's eyelid twitched

00:25:07what else the client is demanding an immediate replacement of the project lead and they said

00:25:13moving forward they're blacklisting hawthorne from all future bids boom alistair's face went from

00:25:19red to purple his entire body shook with rage and he whipped around to glare at camilla

00:25:25the day after the client paused the signing the company called an emergency meeting when i walked

00:25:30into the conference room camilla was already seated in front of her sat the pricing sheet

00:25:35she'd so cleverly tampered with alistair sat front and center face ashen the moment i sat down

00:25:40alistair slammed evil and barked this project has caused a massive problem today we're pinning

00:25:46responsibilities on individuals camilla's eyes were red she struck first mr hawthorne

00:25:50i don't think this can all be blamed on the final quote this project was managed by manager

00:25:56bankrupt from the start the proposal and the original pricing baseline were both set by her

00:26:02camilla's tone was pitiful when i took over the handoffer materials were incomplete

00:26:07i was just trying to maximize the company's profit how was i supposed to know she left me a mess

00:26:12i almost laughed out loud

00:26:17incomplete materials when i handed everything over every document was in the company system

00:26:22client emails meeting minutes pricing records not a single thing missing aurora how do you explain this

00:26:28i opened my laptop and projected the project materials onto the meeting room screen this is

00:26:32the baseline pricing proposal the client approved in the first round this is the version after the

00:26:37second round of technical parameter refinement this is the final quote the client signed off on the

00:26:43night before the contract was supposed to be executed i pulled up each document one by one

00:26:48from start to finish the client never requested a major price reduction after miss hawthorne took over

00:26:54she unilaterally modified the pricing without client confirmation camilla's face shifted she doubled down

00:27:00i just felt the original pricing wasn't competitive how can you prove the client wouldn't have accepted it

00:27:07i clicked open an email the client already told us the screen displayed it clearly due to significant

00:27:13discrepancies between the quoted price and the previously confirmed proposal the project is on

00:27:18hold please replace the project lead and resume discussions the room went quiet for a few seconds

00:27:22i thought the matter was settled but alistair frown slammed the table again even if camilla lacked

00:27:27experience with the commercial pace why would the client demand a personnel change outright if you'd

00:27:32maintained a solid client relationship from the start how could one minor proposal adjustment cause

00:27:38them to turn on us like this i froze for a second then forced down the rage building in my

00:27:42chest

00:27:43my tone turned icy mr hawthorne the pricing change is the reason you forcibly assigned this project to

00:27:49miss hawthorne all the violations are documented in emails if we're assigning blame

00:27:54enough

00:27:57alistair cut me off brutally dane's bulging on his forehead now that something's gone wrong instead of helping the

00:28:02company solve it you dare stand here and deflect responsibility i'm deflecting responsibility

00:28:09i'm the boss of this company is it your place to tell me how to do my job the company

00:28:15trained you

00:28:15for five years paid your salary so you could help others at critical moments is that it camilla sat

00:28:21beside him head down but the corner of her mouth curled into a smug little smile i suddenly felt very

00:28:26tired five years i've been in hawthorne for five years from regular sales to sales manager i'd closed

00:28:32countless deals for this company when clients were difficult i negotiated when suppliers had problems

00:28:36i coordinated them when projects hit last minute snags i drove over in the middle of the night to

00:28:41fix them but in the end just because camilla was alistair's daughter five years of my work could be

00:28:46handed to her on a silver platter and the mistakes she made could just as easily be dumped on me

00:28:50seeing that i'd stopped arguing alistair assumed i'd backed down he picked up a document

00:28:57this project was originally your responsibility now that it's caused such a massive loss the company

00:29:03can't let this slide without consequences so given that you as sales manager have been grossly

00:29:11negligent in your duties and caused immeasurable financial damage to the company the management

00:29:16team has decided effective immediately all your quarterly bonuses and project commissions are revoked

00:29:21and your employment contract is terminated i snapped my head up you're firing me yes pack your things

00:29:28and get out of hawthorne now the room was silent fine i stood up no hesitation no regret as you

00:29:36were

00:29:36alistair seemed caught off guard by how readily i agreed ignoring their stunned expressions i picked up

00:29:40the termination notice from the table walked out of the conference room

00:29:47back at my desk i opened my drawer and started packing my things into a cardboard box five years

00:29:52there really wasn't much to take the heavy commemorative trophy the company had given me

00:29:57when i won top sales my second year i reached out picked it up and threw it into the trash

00:30:01i didn't

00:30:01want a single thing that belonged to hawthorne a few colleagues i'd been close with came over

00:30:05faces full of indignation manager bankrupt are you really leaving yeah but this whole thing was

00:30:11obviously if they won't keep me here somewhere else will when i walked out of the office area

00:30:15carrying the box i glanced back five years i started here and i ended here the elevator door

00:30:21slid open i stepped inside with the box and looked at my calm reflection in the brushed steel

00:30:25five years ago i hid my identity and charged into this private company full of passion swearing i wouldn't

00:30:30rely on my family for a single cent that i'd carve out my own path for sheer ability

00:30:34now looking back i did win top sales for five years but i'd also seen enough of humanity's

00:30:39ugliness and selfishness i thought that when i left hawthorne i'd feel some regret but now i realize

00:30:44the real disappointment is that the people i took seriously were never worth it

00:30:48the elevator stopped on the first floor i stepped out of the hawthorne building with my box in hand

00:30:53the moment i walked down the steps asleep imposing black phantom blighted to a stop right in front of me

00:30:58the rear door opened a middle-aged man in a tailored suit expression solemn quickly stepped out

00:31:03when he saw me he walked forward and bowed deeply harris the chairman has been waiting for you

00:31:12on the private coastal road leading to the bancroft estate a convoy of luxury vehicles

00:31:16worth tens of millions stretched as far as the eye could see alistair sat in the back of his

00:31:20rolls-royce fine beads of sweat dampening his freshly styled hair to secure an invitation to

00:31:25bancroft group's annual tender gala he pulled every string he had it had taken everything just to

00:31:30get one invitation dad bancroft group's tender gala this year is on a whole different level

00:31:36i heard even arthur bancroft the richest man in silver spring city is making a personal appearance

00:31:42camilla was wearing a newly purchased limited edition haute couture gown face glowing with

00:31:46excitement if we can connect with bancroft today hawthorne's market value will at least double in the

00:31:51second half of the year don't worry alistair straightened his tie once we get inside stay

00:31:58sharp in silver spring city there aren't many people who dare disrespect hawthorne

00:32:05half an hour later the two finally passed through three layers of strict security checks and walked

00:32:10into the gilded resplendent banquet hall along the red carpet alistair held a glass of champagne

00:32:15leading his daughter through the crowd and basking in the envious and flattering gazes around them

00:32:19mr hawthorne i heard your daughter just returned from abroad and was made vice president immediately

00:32:24so young and accomplished alistair's smile stretched wide not at all young people need experience

00:32:30hawthorne will depend on her in the future i hope everyone will look out for her just then a stir

00:32:35rippled through the vip section arthur bancroft chairman of bancroft group walked slowly onto the

00:32:40stage alistair perked up he saw his chance he immediately pushed his way to the front end just as

00:32:45arthur was about to take his seat plastered on a fawning smile and stepped forward

00:32:52you're fired aurora five years into my career at hawthorne global i got fired the reason the

00:32:57boss's daughter camilla hawthorne parachuted in as vice president not only did she steal the 50

00:33:02million dollar deal i just closed she pinned the blame for its failure squarely on me my bastard

00:33:07boss waved his hand dismissively told me to pack my things and get out so i left it wasn't until

00:33:11i

00:33:12slid into the back of the luxury sedan my family sent that i allowed myself a cold smile

00:33:16just wait i'll be back and i'll take back everything that belongs to me oh right i almost

00:33:22forgot the land hawthorne sits on that's ours too today marked five years and three months since i

00:33:27joined hawthorne it's also the day i finally secured a 50 million dollar clean energy supply contract after

00:33:33six brutal months of work last night at 11 i video called the client's procurement director to finalize

00:33:38the last details he promised me directly manager bancroche the proposal looks good we'll sign at

00:33:4310 tomorrow morning i thought half a year of blood sweat and tears was finally about to pay off then

00:33:48this morning's emergency meeting happened alistair hawthorne sat at the head of the table next to him

00:33:55stood a young woman with flawless makeup designer bag in hand limited edition naturally that was camilla

00:34:00alistair's daughter fresh back from her overseas gilding and newly airdropped into the role of vice

00:34:05president alistair wrapped his knuckles on the table everyone i'd like to introduce my daughter

00:34:10camilla hawthorne moving forward she'll be taking over the company's core operations the conference

00:34:15room immediately filled with sycophantic congratulations i didn't think much of it

00:34:19until alistair's gaze landed on me also effective today the 50 million dollar clean energy project will

00:34:25be handed over to camilla she'll be taking full control i sat in the corner and looked directly at

00:34:30alistair mr hawthorne i've been working on this project for six months all the commercial terms and

00:34:35technical coordination were finalized by me we're supposed to sign this morning alistair picked up

00:34:40his thermos and took a leisurely sip i know then why replace me at the last minute he glanced at

00:34:46me

00:34:46camilla just got back she needs a platform to develop her skills and a major project to put on

00:34:51her resume you're a sales manager training new talent and cultivating successors isn't that part of

00:34:57your job mr hawthorne i hold all the client relationships and the negotiated margins a last

00:35:04minute handoff the client will never accept it i opened my laptop calmly and projected six months

00:35:09worth of communication records and the final contract onto the big screen the company's clients belong

00:35:14to the company not to you personally alistair slammed the table and loomed over me you're on the

00:35:19company payroll using the company's platform any results you achieve belong to the company this is a

00:35:25routine personnel adjustment what exactly is your problem the room went silent some people stared

00:35:30at their files others snuck glances at me from the corners of their eyes barely concealing their

00:35:35schadenfreude five years of relentless effort had just become a joke understood camilla clicked over

00:35:39in her stilettos all smugness and swagger and stopped at my desk she casually flipped through the

00:35:44thick stack of printed bids and materials i'd prepared manager bancraft i'll be counting on your support

00:35:49going forward i looked at her coldly said nothing she didn't seem embarrassed at all she leaned

00:35:54down and lowered her voice oh and the core materials you compiled client preferences analysis notes

00:36:01i already took them that's company property then thank you manager bancroft camilla scooped up the

00:36:06stack without hesitation and walked out after the meeting a swarm of colleagues immediately surrounded

00:36:12camilla miss hawthorne is so incredible you just got back and you're already closing a 50 million dollar

00:36:17deal mr hawthorne clearly has such high hopes for you we'll need miss hawthorne to look out for us

00:36:24from now on camilla basked in the flattery as she passed my desk she deliberately stopped and glanced

00:36:29down at me manager bancroft you're not gonna hold a grudge over something this small are you she curled

00:36:34her lip with contempt honestly as a hired sales manager there's really no need to think so high of

00:36:39yourself or hold clients so tightly after all without the hawthorne platform you're nothing i sat

00:36:45in my chair said nothing camilla gave a cold snort and started away a new meeting invite popped up in

00:36:51the corner of my screen i clicked it open the subject line read final proposal review meeting clean energy

00:36:59project the attendee list included the client company's procurement director the meeting organizer

00:37:04was camilla scheduled in half an hour i opened the attachment the entire proposal was covered in

00:37:09dense notes and revisions the exact final version i'd stayed up until one in the morning last night

00:37:13perfecting she hadn't even bothered to change a single punctuation mark i've been in sales at

00:37:18hawthorne supply chain for five years i started as an intern eventually became the company's top

00:37:23performing sales manager for three consecutive years in the end i was nothing more than a stepping

00:37:27stone for the hawthorne's used up and kicked aside i stared at the email invitation for the final

00:37:32proposal review meeting clean energy project closed my laptop since mr hawthorne had handed this prize

00:37:37to his daughter i wasn't about to waste my time on it anymore half an hour later camilla started

00:37:42into the conference room with two junior salespeople in tow i kept my eyes on my spreadsheet and didn't

00:37:47look up less than 20 minutes later the conference room door burst open a young salesperson rushed out

00:37:52face pale wiping cold sweat from her forehead manager bank will

00:37:57manager bank will the client suddenly changed the requirements they want the first delivery cycle

00:38:02shortened by a full week miss hawthorne said she doesn't understand production scheduling details so

00:38:07she told me to ask you i didn't look up go ask miss hawthorne the project has been fully transferred

00:38:12for all future business matters ask her the salesperson looked torn but when she saw i wasn't

00:38:18budging she turned and went back in a few minutes later camilla came storming out in her heels

00:38:22aurora the delivery timeline the client is demanding is completely unreasonable

00:38:27how exactly do you negotiate this i lifted my eyes according to the contract standards and

00:38:32production limits it's all spelled out in black and white in the contract appendix be specific you're

00:38:38a sales manager can't you help me figure something out do you really have to just sit there and watch

00:38:43she was practically grinding her teeth miss hawthorne i'm strictly following the company's directives

00:38:48and doing my job if you can't understand the handover documents that's your problem you

00:38:53she clearly hadn't expected me to be this blunt her face went through several shades of red and white

00:38:58she glared at me grabbed her files and slammed the door on her way back to the conference room

00:39:05but this was only the beginning at lunch the client sent an urgent email requesting a revision to

00:39:10the core product's technical specifications the change seemed simple but it required balancing

00:39:14against the technical baselines established over seven prior rounds of negotiation i'd been managing

00:39:19this project for six months i knew all the details but camilla an outsider had no clue she

00:39:25printed out the email with a dark expression and slapped it on my desk again what does this parameter

00:39:31even mean help me reply i told you i'm not in charge of this project anymore i looked at her

00:39:36all the materials are in the system look them up yourself you were managing it just fine before

00:39:41why are you playing dumb now camilla's voice turned shrill i did manage it now your father

00:39:46unsurroneously kicked me off seeing that i'd completely drawn the line she snatched up the

00:39:51documents and stormed off in a rage over the next few hours in a desperate attempt to prove herself to

00:39:56her father camilla started giving blind orders then at four in the afternoon a bombshell dropped in

00:40:01the company project group chat camilla had taken it upon herself to slash the unit price of two core

00:40:05products by nearly eight percent when i saw the new pricing sheet i frowned this wasn't a normal

00:40:10concession it completely disrupted the market's price equilibrium buyers in this industry would

00:40:15rather pay more for peace of mind than trust a supplier who constantly changed terms and broke

00:40:19industry norms i messaged her privately are you insane the client wants stable supply not your

00:40:24malicious price war her reply came fast dripping with arrogance don't lecture me i'm doing this

00:40:30to boost company performance you don't understand at all

00:40:35that evening she couldn't wait to send the fatal new pricing proposal to the client the next

00:40:39morning at 10 camilla was breezing out of her private office ready to bask in her father's

00:40:44praise suddenly her phone started vibrating non-stop she picked up smile plastered on her face then

00:40:49whoever was on the other end said something and her expression froze mid-grin turning deftly pale

00:47:03years but i'd also seen enough of humanity's ugliness and selfishness i thought that when i

00:47:07left hawthorne i'd feel some regret but now i realize the real disappointment is that the people

00:47:12i took seriously were never worth it the elevator stopped on the first floor i stepped out of the

00:47:17hawthorne building with my box in hand the moment i walked down the steps asleep imposing black phantom

00:47:22blighted to a stop right in front of me the rear door opened a middle-aged man in a tailored

00:47:27suit

00:47:27expression solemn quickly stepped out when he saw me he walked forward and bowed deeply

00:47:32harris the chairman has been waiting for you

00:47:37on the private coastal road leading to the bancroft estate a convoy of luxury vehicles

00:47:42worth tens of millions stretched as far as the eye could see alistair sat in the back of his

00:47:47fine beads of sweat dampening his freshly styled hair to secure an invitation to bancroft group's

00:47:51annual tender gala he pulled every string he had it had taken everything just to get one invitation

00:47:58dad bancroft group's tender gala this year is on a whole different level i heard even arthur

00:48:03bancroft the richest man in silversprine city is making a personal appearance camilla was wearing

00:48:09a newly purchased limited edition haute couture gown face glowing with excitement if we can connect

00:48:14with bancroft today hawthorne's market value will at least double in the second half of the year

00:48:19don't worry alistair straightened his tie once we get inside stay sharp in silversprine city there

00:48:26aren't many people who dare disrespect hawthorne

00:48:31half an hour later the two finally passed through three layers of strict security checks and walked

00:48:36into the gilded resplendent banquet hall along the red carpet alistair held a glass of champagne leading

00:48:41his daughter through the crowd and basking in the envious and flattering gazes around them mr hawthorne i

00:48:46heard your daughter just returned from abroad and was made vice president immediately so young and

00:48:51accomplished alistair's smile stretched wide not at all young people need experience hawthorne will

00:48:57depend on her in the future i hope everyone will look out for her just then a stir rippled through

00:49:01the vip section arthur bancroft chairman of bancroft group walked slowly onto the stage alistair perked up

00:49:07he saw his chance he immediately pushed his way to the front end just as arthur was about to take

00:49:12his seat plastered on a fawning smile and stepped forward

00:49:18you're fired aurora five years into my career at hawthorne global i got fired the reason the

00:49:23boss's daughter camilla hawthorne parachuted in as vice president not only did she steal the 50

00:49:28million dollar deal i just closed she pinned the blame for its failure squarely on me my bastard

00:49:32boss waved his hand dismissively told me to pack my things and get out so i left it wasn't until

00:49:37i

00:49:37slid into the back of the luxury sedan my family sent that i allowed myself a cold smile

00:49:42just wait i'll be back and i'll take back everything that belongs to me oh right i almost

00:49:48forgot the land hawthorne sits on that's ours too today marked five years and three months since i

00:49:53joined hawthorne it's also the day i finally secured a 50 million dollar clean energy supply contract after

00:49:58six brutal months of work last night at 11 i video called the client's procurement director to finalize

00:50:03the last details he promised me directly manager bankrash the proposal looks good we'll sign at 10

00:50:09tomorrow morning i thought half a year of blood sweat and tears was finally about to pay off then

00:50:14this morning's emergency meeting happened alistair hawthorne sat at the head of the table next to him

00:50:21stood a young woman with flawless makeup designer bag in hand limited edition naturally that was camilla

00:50:26alistair's daughter fresh back from her overseas gilding and newly airdropped into the role of vice

00:50:31president alistair wrapped his knuckles on the table everyone i'd like to introduce my daughter

00:50:35camilla hawthorne moving forward she'll be taking over the company's core operations the conference

00:50:41room immediately filled with sycophantic congratulations i didn't think much of it

00:50:45until alistair's gaze landed on me also effective today the 50 million dollar clean energy project will

00:50:50be handed over to camilla she'll be taking full control i sat in the corner and looked directly at

00:50:55alistair mr hawthorne i've been working on this project for six months all the commercial terms and

00:51:00technical coordination were finalized by me we're supposed to sign this morning alistair picked up

00:51:06his thermos and took a leisurely sip i know then why replace me at the last minute he glanced at

00:51:11me

00:51:12camilla just got back she needs a platform to develop her skills and a major project to put

00:51:17on her resume you're a sales manager training new talent and cultivating successors isn't that part of

00:51:23your job mr hawthorne i hold all the client relationships and the negotiated margins a last

00:51:30minute handoff the client will never accept it i opened my laptop calmly and projected six months

00:51:35worth of communication records and the final contract onto the big screen the company's clients belong

00:51:39to the company not to you personally alistair slammed the table and loomed over me you're on the

00:51:44company payroll using the company's platform any results you achieve belong to the company this is a

00:51:51routine personnel adjustment what exactly is your problem the room went silent some people stared

00:51:56at their files others snuck glances at me from the corners of their eyes barely concealing their

00:52:00schadenfreude five years of relentless effort had just become a joke understood camilla clicked over

00:52:05in her stilettos all smugness and swagger and stopped at my desk she casually flipped through the

00:52:10thick stack of printed bids and materials i'd prepared manager bankraft i'll be counting on your support

00:52:15going forward i looked at her coldly said nothing she didn't seem embarrassed at all

00:52:19she leaned down and lowered her voice oh and the core materials you compiled client preferences

00:52:24analysis notes i already took them that's company property then thank you manager bank

00:52:30camilla scooped up the stack without hesitation and walked out

00:52:35after the meeting a swarm of colleagues immediately surrounded camilla miss hawthorne is so incredible

00:52:40you just got back and you're already closing a 50 million dollar deal mr hawthorne clearly has such

00:52:46high hopes for you we'll need miss hawthorne to look out for us from now on camilla basked in the

00:52:52flattery as she passed my desk she deliberately stopped and glanced down at me manager bankrott

00:52:57you're not going to hold a grudge over something this small are you she curled her lip with contempt

00:53:01honestly as a hired sales manager there's really no need to think so high of yourself or hold clients

00:53:06so tightly after all without the hawthorne platform you're nothing i sat in my chair

00:53:12said nothing camilla gave a cold snort and started away a new meeting invite popped up in the corner

00:53:17of my screen i clicked it open the subject line read final proposal review meeting clean energy

00:53:25project the attendee list included the client company's procurement director the meeting organizer

00:53:30was camilla scheduled in half an hour i opened the attachment the entire proposal was covered in dense

00:53:35notes and revisions the exact final version i'd stayed up until one in the morning last night

00:53:39perfecting she hadn't even bothered to change a single punctuation mark i've been in sales at

00:53:44hawthorne supply chain for five years i started as an intern eventually became the company's top

00:53:48performing sales manager for three consecutive years in the end i was nothing more than a stepping

00:53:53stone for the hawthorne's used up and kicked aside i stared at the email invitation for the final

00:53:57proposal review meeting clean energy project closed my laptop since mr hawthorne had handed this prize to

00:54:03his daughter i wasn't about to waste my time on it anymore half an hour later camilla started into

00:54:08the conference room with two junior salespeople in tow i kept my eyes on my spreadsheet and didn't

00:54:12look up less than 20 minutes later the conference room door burst open a young salesperson rushed out

00:54:17face pale wiping cold sweat from her forehead manager bank will

00:54:23manager bank will the client suddenly changed the requirements they want the first delivery cycle

00:54:28shortened by a full week miss hawthorne said she doesn't understand production scheduling details so

00:54:32she told me to ask you i didn't look up go ask miss hawthorne the project has been fully transferred

00:54:38for all future business matters ask her the salesperson looked torn but when she saw i wasn't

00:54:43budging she turned and went back in a few minutes later camilla came storming out in her heels aurora the

00:54:49delivery timeline the client is demanding is completely unreasonable how exactly do you negotiate this i lifted my

00:54:56eyes according to the contract standards and production limits it's all spelled out in black

00:55:00and white in the contract appendix be specific you're a sales manager can't you help me figure

00:55:05something out do you really have to just sit there and watch she was practically grinding her teeth

00:55:10miss hawthorne i'm strictly following the company's directives and doing my job if you can't understand

00:55:16the handover documents that's your problem you she clearly hadn't expected me to be this blunt her face

00:55:22went through several shades of red and white she glared at me grabbed her files and slammed the door

00:55:27on her way back to the conference room

00:55:30but this was only the beginning at lunch the client sent an urgent email requesting a revision

00:55:35to the core products technical specifications the change seemed simple but it required balancing

00:55:40against the technical baselines established over seven prior rounds of negotiation i've been

00:55:45managing this project for six months i knew all the details but camilla an outsider had no clue

00:55:50she printed out the email with a dark expression and slapped it on my desk again what does this

00:55:56parameter even mean help me reply i told you i'm not in charge of this project anymore i looked at

00:56:02her

00:56:02all the materials are in the system look them up yourself you were managing it just fine before

00:56:07why are you playing dumb now camilla's voice turned shrill i did manage it now your father

00:56:12unsurroneously kicked me off seeing that i'd completely drawn the line she snatched up the

00:56:17documents and stormed off in a rage over the next few hours in a desperate attempt to prove herself

00:56:21to her father camilla started giving blind orders then at four in the afternoon a bombshell dropped

00:56:26in the company project group chat camilla had taken it upon herself to slash the unit price of two core

00:56:31products by nearly eight percent when i saw the new pricing sheet i frowned this wasn't a normal

00:56:36concession it completely disrupted the market's price equilibrium buyers in this industry would rather

00:56:41pay more for peace of mind than trust a supplier who constantly changed terms and broke industry

00:56:45norms i messaged her privately are you insane the client wants stable supply not your malicious price

00:56:51war her reply came fast dripping with arrogance don't lecture me i'm doing this to boost company

00:56:56performance you don't understand at all that evening she couldn't wait to send the fatal new

00:57:03pricing proposal to the client the next morning at 10 camilla was breezing out of her private office

00:57:08ready to bask in her father's praise suddenly her phone started vibrating non-stop she picked up

00:57:13smile plastered on her face then whoever was on the other end said something and her expression froze

00:57:18mid grin turning deathly pale no that's not mr stark please let me explain but wasn't that the price

00:57:24before we recalculated everything her voice grew shakier sweat beaded on her forehead in the end all she

00:57:30could manage her weak repetitions okay i understand she hung up the entire office went dead silent

00:57:36hearing the commotion alistair stormed out of his office face grim what's going on what's all this

00:57:41noise about camilla's lips trembled she couldn't get a single word out a terrified salesperson stood

00:57:46up reluctantly to report mr mr hawthorne the client said our new pricing seriously disrupted industry

00:57:52expectations showed no sincerity not only have they paused the signing they also alistair's eyelid twitched

00:57:59what else the client is demanding an immediate replacement of the project lead and they said

00:58:05moving forward they're blacklisting hawthorne from all future bids boom alistair's face went

00:58:10from red to purple his entire body shook with rage and he whipped around to glare at camilla

00:58:17the day after the client paused the signing the company called an emergency meeting when i walked into

00:58:22the conference room camilla was already seated in front of her sat the pricing sheet she'd so cleverly

00:58:27tampered with alistair sat front and center face ashen the moment i sat down alistair slammed people

00:58:32and barked this project has caused a massive problem today we're pinning responsibilities

00:58:38on individuals camilla's eyes were red she struck first mr hawthorne i don't think this can all be

00:58:44blamed on the final quote this project was managed by manager bankrupt from the start the proposal and

00:58:51the original pricing baseline were both set by her camilla's tone was pitiful when i took over

00:58:56the handoffer materials were incomplete i was just trying to maximize the company's profit

00:59:02how was i supposed to know she left me a mess i almost laughed out loud

00:59:09incomplete materials when i handed everything over every document was in the company system

00:59:13client emails meeting minutes pricing records not a single thing missing aurora how do you explain this

00:59:19i opened my laptop and projected the project materials onto the meeting room screen this is the baseline

00:59:24pricing proposal the client approved in the first round this is the version after the second round of

00:59:30technical parameter refinement this is the final quote the client signed off on the night before the

00:59:35contract was supposed to be executed i pulled up each document one by one from start to finish the

00:59:41client never requested a major price reduction after miss hawthorne took over she unilaterally modified the

00:59:48pricing without client confirmation camilla's face shifted she doubled down i just felt the original

00:59:53pricing wasn't competitive how can you prove the client wouldn't have accepted it

00:59:59i clicked open an email the client already told us the screen displayed it clearly due to significant

01:00:04discrepancies between the quoted price and the previously confirmed proposal the project is on

01:00:09hold please replace the project lead and resume discussions the room went quiet for a few seconds

01:00:14i thought the matter was settled but alistair frown slammed the table again even if camilla lacked

01:00:18experience with the commercial pace why would the client demand a personnel change outright if you'd

01:00:24maintained a solid client relationship from the start how could one minor proposal adjustment

01:00:29cause them to turn on us like this i froze for a second then forced down the rage building in

01:00:34my

01:00:34chest my tone turned icy mr hawthorne the pricing change is the reason you forcibly assigned this

01:00:40project to miss hawthorne all the violations are documented in emails if we're assigning blame

01:00:48alistair cut me off brutally dane's bulging on his forehead now that something's gone wrong

01:00:52instead of helping the company solve it you dare stand here and deflect responsibility i'm deflecting

01:00:59responsibility i'm the boss of this company is it your place to tell me how to do my job

01:01:05the company trained you for five years paid your salary so you could help others at critical

01:01:10moments is that it camilla sat beside him head down but the corner of her mouth curled into a

01:01:15smug little smile i suddenly felt very tired five years i've been in hawthorne for five years from

01:01:21regular sales to sales manager i closed countless deals for this company when clients were difficult

01:01:25i negotiated when suppliers had problems i coordinated them when projects hit last minute snags i drove over in

01:01:32the middle of the night to fix them but in the end just because camilla was alistair's daughter

01:01:36five years of my work could be handed to her on a silver platter and the mistakes she made could

01:01:40just as easily be dumped on me seeing that i'd stopped arguing alistair assumed i'd backed down

01:01:45he picked up a document this project was originally your responsibility now that it's caused such a massive

01:01:53loss the company can't let this slide without consequences so given that you as sales manager

01:02:02have been grossly negligent in your duties and caused immeasurable financial damage to the

01:02:06company the management team has decided effective immediately all your quarterly bonuses and project

01:02:12commissions are revoked and your employment contract is terminated i snapped my head up

01:02:16you're firing me yes pack your things and get out of hawthorne now the room was silent fine i stood

01:02:24up

01:02:24no hesitation no regret as you were alistair seemed caught off guard by how readily i agreed

01:02:30ignoring their stunned expressions i picked up the termination notice from the table walked out of

01:02:34the conference room

01:02:39back at my desk i opened my drawer and started packing my things into a cardboard box

01:02:43five years there really wasn't much to take the heavy commemorative trophy the company had given me

01:02:48when i won top sales my second year i reached out picked it up and threw it into the trash

01:02:52i didn't

01:02:53want a single thing that belonged to hawthorne a few colleagues i'd been close with came over

01:02:57faces full of indignation manager bankrupt are you really leaving yeah but this whole thing was

01:03:02obviously if they won't keep me here somewhere else will when i walked out of the office area

01:03:07carrying the box i glanced back five years i started here and i ended here the elevator doors

01:03:12slid open i stepped inside with the box and looked at my calm reflection in the brushed steel

01:03:16five years ago i hid my identity and charged into this private company full of passion swearing i wouldn't

01:03:22rely on my family for a single cent that i'd carve out my own path through sheer ability now looking

01:03:27back i did win top sales for five years but i'd also seen enough of humanity's ugliness and selfishness

01:03:32i thought that when i left hawthorne i'd feel some regret but now i realize the real disappointment is

01:03:37that the people i took seriously were never worth it

01:03:40the elevator stopped on the first floor i stepped out of the hawthorne building with my box in hand
