Chapter 1 During the new semester of my senior year , I prepared my resume early and got ready for Internships . But on the day of my interview , the interviewer opened my resume and his face immediately darkened . " Are you kidding me ? Didn't you say you had no plans to get pregnant anytime soon ? " I was completely confused , then shocked to discover my resume had been replaced with a prenatal exam report . I desperately tried to explain . But the interviewer still kicked me out without mercy . " What we value most at this company is integrity . I've seen plenty of employees like you who lie about pregnancy to scam maternity leave after their probation period . Please see yourself out ! " I thought back carefully and only remembered my roommate Sage Campbell messing with my briefcase before I left this morning . So I stormed back to the dorm , furious . When my roommates saw me return , they immediately came over asking about the interview results . Only Sage looked guilty as she lay on her bed . This confirmed my suspicions even more . The next second , I found my actual resume on her desk . With the evidence right there , I confronted her directly . " Sage Campbell , I knew it was you ! Why the hell did you switch out my resume with some pregnancy test report ? I'm not even pregnant ! Do you realize I got kicked out before I could even say a word because of your stupid stunt ? " Sage paused , then kept apologizing . " Maya , I'm sorry , okay ? I was just messing around with you ! I had no idea it would blow up like this . Chill out . " Hearing this bullshit made me want to puke . Before this , I had already passed the initial screening . Today's second round only had three candidates . The other two didn't have better experience or credentials than me . Overall , my chances of getting the offer were extremely high . Sage's casual " sorry " completely destroyed my internship plans ! I was furious . " Sage Campbell , what's wrong with you ? What kind of joke is that ? You obviously did this to sabotage me on purpose ! What did I ever do to you ? " Hearing this , Sage's eyes turned red . " Maya , why are you being so mean ? I was literally just joking around ! Besides , you could've totally just emailed them your resume right there on the spot . It's not my fault you can't think on your feet . Why are you putting this all on me ? God , if I knew you were gonna be such a drama queen about it , I never would've done it . " 10:31 Who Needs a Divorce Lawyer When You OWN the Company ? Honey . You Are FIRED ! 16.9 % Chapter 1 I was so angry I almost laughed at her twisted logic . " Sage Campbell , what kind of bullshit reasoning is that ? " I couldn't take it anymore and yanked her off the bed , slapping her hard across the face . " You ... how dare you hit me ... waaaah ... " Sage pointed at me angrily . I sneered . " Don't get mad ! I was just playing a joke on you . Don't be such a poor sport ! " Even though seeing Sage get what she deserved felt satisfying , it still didn't ease the rage in my heart . Just then , my boyfriend Leo Stark called me . In that moment , I felt overwhelmed with grievance . I said pitifully , " Leo , I failed the interview . " Leo comforted me gently . " It's okay , Maya . There will be other opportunities . Why don't you come with me to a dinner tonight ? Just to take your mind off things . One of our club's junior members passed her interview and is treating everyone to celebrate . Come join us . " The club Leo mentioned was one he founded during college . He always brought me to various activities . And the club members were always friendly to me too . Even though I wasn't in the mood for this kind of thing , I didn't want to be a downer , so I agreed . But I never expected that Leo's " junior member " would turn out to be Sage Campbell . I'd been so busy with my thesis and resume lately that Leo and I barely saw each other . I had heard Sage mention joining some club before , but I didn't know the details . When Sage walked in , she sweetly greeted Leo . " Leo , thank you for referring me ! Otherwise , I never would've had a chance to get into Stellar Group . "
