An ordinary evening turned into a real storm when her husband burst into the house, his face twisted with anger.
“Mom can’t withdraw your salary. Why isn’t the card working?”
He shouted, waving his hands. It turned out that his mother had tried to cash out his daughter-in-law’s money without her knowledge.
This audacity was the last straw for the young woman who had long planned to put an end to her mother-in-law’s financial control.
The office of Media Stream had quieted down after the workday.
Only the soft hum of computers and the steady click of keyboards disturbed the silence. Lily Price sat hunched over her monitor, triple-checking the numbers in the quarterly report. The clock showed the beginning of ten in the evening—running late again.
Henry Price, the head of the marketing department, stopped by her desk.
“Family must be waiting for you.”
Lily rubbed her eyes wearily.
“I want to finish the report tonight.
The presentation for the CEO is tomorrow.”
Henry nodded understandingly.
“Diligence is commendable. By the way, soon we’ll be deciding on the position of key account manager.”
He looked at her meaningfully, and Lily felt her heart skip a beat. This was the position she had been dreaming of for the past six months, ever since Serena went on maternity leave.
“I’ve almost finished that Art Media project you assigned me, too,” Lily quickly said.
“It’ll be ready by Monday.”
“Spending your weekend on work again.” The boss shook his head. “Don’t overdo it, but I do appreciate the enthusiasm.”
