    She had always known the Johns family was affluent, but their generosity toward employees was beyond her expectations.


    This job was turning out to be the best she’d ever had!


    Additionally, with the wholepany attending, it was a perfect opportunity towork with senior leaders.


    Teresa was eager for the chance and nned to dress her best.


    The announcement of the event boosted everyone’s morale.


    That afternoon, as the workday neared its end, Madisyn noticed that many colleagues were still at their desks.


    She paused for a moment before deciding to leave.


    “Madisyn, why are you leaving so early?” Teresa called out.


    Madisyn responded coldly, “Work is over for the day.

    “Thepanypensates you well.


    Shouldn’t you be working harder?”


    Teresa lost her temper.


    “You’re really ungrateful!”


    She raised her voice so others could overhear, hoping to incite some agreement.

    “Exactly.


    People like her are usually the first to go.


    ”


    Madisyn maintained herposure.


    It seemed these coworkers had been misled by misleading notions.


    “If anyone should be concerned about disappointing thepany, it’s those who fail to meet their objectives, not those who manage to finish their tasks on time and leave like me,” Madisyn retorted with a slight smile.


    “You seem to enjoy overtime, but what have you achieved with all those extra hours?”


    Teresa’s expression soured.


    “Don’t be smug just because you’re ahead right now.


    It’s all just luck.


    I’ll outperform you soon enough.


    ”


    “Then, you can criticize me once you actually do,” Madisyn replied nonchntly.


    Emeline also stood up and chimed in, “Why is there this fixation on stayingte? Thepany values efficiency.


    If you finish your work on time and leave, they’ll appreciate it more than you pretending to workte.


    ”


    After saying her piece, Emeline left with Madisyn.


    Teresa could only watch their receding backs with a darkened expression.


    Her hands hanging on both sides clenched into tight fists.
