Julian’s face turned pale as he stared at the documents from a distance, refusing to believe them.

Julian: “This… this is fake.”

Sarah turned a page slowly, then looked at him.

Sarah: “Check the signatures. You’ll recognize yours.”

A security officer stepped forward but stopped when Maxwell raised his hand again.

Maxwell: “Let her speak.”

Sarah stepped closer to the edge of the stage.

Sarah: “You hired me as a nanny because you thought I was nothing.”

Her voice sharpened.

Sarah: “That was your first mistake.”

She closed the folder.

Sarah: “And humiliating me in front of everyone… was your second.”

Julian’s voice cracked.

Julian: “What do you want?”

A pause.

Sarah looked directly at him.

Sarah: “Control.”

She turned slightly toward the room.

Sarah: “Effective immediately, leadership changes start tonight.”

The chandeliers glittered above as the balance of power shifted completely.

And for the first time…

Julian had nothing to say.
