“Debra, you've been spending a lot of twith Michael lately, and your internship work has suffered. Miss Miles
expects you to finish this today, or your internship might be in jeopardy,” said a co-worker, placing a stack of
files on the desk.
Debra eyed the towering pile, which nearly obscured her computer
screen. She glanced across the office at Shelia, who wore a self- satisfied smirk.
Debra had anticipated sretaliation, but she hadn't expected Shelia to stoop so low.
She stood up, walked over to the desk, and quickly counted the files. “If | recall correctly, these were supposed
to be checked by Carole yesterday, weren't they?”
The female employee remained unfazed. “So what? I'm a full-temployee. Entrusting these documents to you

Debra let out a derisive snort. “You think it's possible to check all these reports and cup with ten plans by

The employee shifted uncomfortably but held her ground. “Debra, this is an opportunity for you to learn and
grow. Don’t be ungrateful. Tyson Enterprises is a prestigious, publicly listed company. You're lucky to have an

She dropped the act, her posture radiating triumph.

The air in the workspace grew thick with tension. Debra’s lips curled into a slight smile. She couldn’t comprehend
the source of Shelia’s
arrogance.
“Fine,” Debra said. “But before you talk to Mr. Tyson, you'll need to make. sroom for me.”
Shelia’s brow furrowed in confusion. “What do you mean by that?”
“You'll see,” Debra replied.
