The CEO's Secret I Was Her Scapegoat Until I Revealed My Billion-Dollar Identity

The day before New Year's Day, my boss called me into her office.

"Ian, you're one of the veterans here. When no one else is around, you need to step up."

I knew exactly what she meant. I'd gone numb to it years ago.

"So the company wants me to stay behind again."

"Exactly. Since you already know, I won't waste my breath."

I agreed without protest and watched them head out for the team-building event. That's when I discovered the "highlight"—a company-wide livestream of me working overtime. They were treating me like a clown, entertainment for everyone's amusement.
