Administrative assistant Elena Reed spent six years as an Arabic translator, no title, no official position.Her only compensation, a monthly €1,200 language allowance, was slashed by newly appointed director Derek Vance with a single line. "No work order, so it counts as voluntary overtime." Fine. Then she quit! The project team panicked, but without a work order, nobody gets free labor. With Prince Khalid, who holds a €1.2 billion project, arriving for an inspection, Derek forced newcomer Vivian into the role as her replacement. But when the Prince arrived, he pushed Vivian aside and went straight to embrace Elena. "She is my most trusted partner in Europe." After she saved the negotiation of 20,000 words of technical clauses on the spot, the Prince revealed it to everyone. The anonymous recommendation letter six years ago that secured the group's partnership and turned its losing streak around was written by Elena. One by one, Derek's fake credentials and expense fraud were exposed. He was suspended on the spot, and Elena was promoted to Head of Translation and International Affairs. Sorry, I'm just done being a free tool.
