When I started working at Sterling Enterprises after college, Emily Bennett, another new hire, wasted no time cozying up to the older employees, isolating me, and making my life miserable. I worked my way to real results, but she spread rumors that I got my deals by sleeping with clients. One day, my boyfriend Ryan Carter picked me up in his Porsche. Emily played nice, asking for a ride, then faked carsickness to claim the front seat. Ryan agreed and told me to sit in the back. During the drive, she flirted with him in that sickeningly sweet voice, deliberately bringing up the rumors about the clients and me, even fabricating lies about my supervisor and me. Ryan bought every word. He called me shameless and sneered that I was playing innocent. Then he drove off with Emily. The next day, Emily flaunted that she and Ryan were together. Ryan sent me a vicious breakup text, calling me "cheap". That was when I decided to reveal my true identity as the heiress of Sterling Enterprises.
