When Autumn first joined the company, she had been met with icy stares and whispered rumors. She understood that kind of cold reception all too well. So when Selena, the new hire, strutted into the office with her head held high, Autumn assumed she was getting the same treatment. But Selena casually draped an arm around Autumn's shoulder, flashing a confident grin. "Come on, do you know who I am? There’s no way they’re bullying me. If anything, it’s a miracle I haven’t bullied them."
Autumn couldn't help but smile at her friend's bravado. The elevator hummed as it climbed to the tenth floor, and the moment the doors slid open, Autumn spotted two familiar figures stepping out of the executive office—Luna and Jasmine. A document clutched in Jasmine's hand gleamed like a trophy.
Unlike their last encounter, when they had slunk away humiliated and defeated, now their faces glowed with triumph. Even Luna, who usually wore a mask of frosty indifference, had a rare softness in her gaze. There was no need to ask what had happened—they had achieved their goal.
Jasmine's smug expression was enough to make Autumn's blood boil. The moment she saw Autumn, Jasmine lifted her chin high and waved the signed contract like a flag of conquest. Her voice dripped with mockery. "Some people may be good at sleeping their way up, but that’ll never compare to actual ability. See this? The deal with Vanguard? It’s signed. If you were trying to stop it—too bad, all your efforts were wasted."
The memory of their last failure still stung. They had left the office humiliated, contract denied, and caught by Autumn in their most miserable state. Jasmine had been furious ever since. But now, not only had they secured the contract, they had run into Autumn again. Finally, they had a moment to hold their heads high.
Selena watched Jasmine gloat like she had won the lottery, and nearly stormed forward to slap that smug expression off her face. But Autumn held her back. "Selena, don’t waste your energy. People like her aren’t worth it. Just think of her barking like a dog. At the end of the day, people and animals aren’t the same. If a dog bites you, are you really going to bite back? That’d be disgusting, wouldn’t it?"
Selena burst out laughing, giving Autumn a discreet thumbs-up. *Savage. Even more satisfying than a slap.*
Jasmine’s face turned crimson with rage, veins popping at her neck. She jabbed a finger at Autumn. "Who are you calling a dog?" She couldn’t believe this was the same Autumn from ten years ago—the timid girl who always swallowed her words. Now she was sharp-tongued, even calling them animals to their faces. It was infuriating. Absolutely maddening. Jasmine was practically about to explode.
"Whoever responds, that’s who I’m talking about," Autumn said matter-of-factly, her voice calm as still water.
"You..."
Autumn smiled, turning her gaze to Luna. "Luna, keep your dog from barking in front of me. If I’m ever in a bad mood and decide to spill a little something, that perfect little image you’ve got? It’ll shatter. If I hadn’t divorced Julian, you’d still be the mistress hiding in the shadows. So what if he loves you? Legally, I was the one married to him. You might be sharper than your mother, but if I hadn’t stepped aside, you’d still be nothing."
The words hung in the air like a blade drawn from its sheath. Autumn and Julian had married in secret, and the divorce had been kept quiet. No one knew. But Luna and Jasmine had come to stir the pot, and Autumn wasn’t about to sit there and take it. If someone handed her their pride on a silver platter, why not stomp on it?
At her words, a crack finally appeared on Luna’s usually calm expression, though she hid it quickly. Her eyes darkened as they fell on Autumn. "Is this how Vanguard employees speak to business partners?" Her voice was icy, dripping with disdain. Autumn was nothing more than a regular employee, yet she had the nerve to speak to her like this? How utterly uncivilized.
But Autumn stood her ground, her smile unwavering. The battle was not over—only just beginning.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a thrilling chapter! The tension between Autumn and Luna/Jasmine is palpable, and Autumn's sharp wit is a true pleasure to witness. She doesn't back down, using her hidden knowledge like a weapon. The pacing is perfect, and the characters' emotions feel real and raw. I love how Autumn's past vulnerability has transformed into fierce strength. This chapter earns a solid **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**—the only reason I don't give full marks is the briefness of the scene, but every word packs a punch.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Luna won't let Autumn's words slide. Expect her to retaliate, perhaps by pulling strings within Vanguard or targeting Selena. Meanwhile, Autumn might finally reveal more about her divorce, and Julian could catch wind of her involvement. The truth is about to unravel, and I'm betting on a confrontation that will shake the company to its core.
