He Lent His Laptop to a Girl for an Interview — Unaware She Was the Disguised CEO!
Chapter 7
Olivia told Ethan everything.
She had entered the company undercover because she didn’t trust the reports she’d been given.
The board had assured her everything was normal.
Employees told a different story.
She had discovered procurement fraud.
Fake vendors.
Money transfers.
And an attempt to blame her.
Ethan listened.
“You could have told me.”
“You would have treated me differently.”
He considered it.
“You’re right.”
She smiled.
“That was the point.”
“You really trusted me.”
“Yes.”
Ethan looked at her.
“Why?”
“Because you helped me when you thought I was nobody.”
He laughed.
“You weren’t nobody.”
“You didn’t know that.”
“Exactly.”
Their partnership became official.
Ethan was appointed interim chief operating officer.
Olivia revealed herself publicly as CEO.
The company was stunned.
Employees gathered in the auditorium.
Olivia stood on stage.
“My name is Olivia Bennett.”
Gasps spread through the room.
“I have spent the past several weeks working beside you without revealing who I was.”
She paused.
“I did it because I needed to understand what this company felt like from the inside.”
She looked at the employees.
“What I saw wasn’t all bad.”
She smiled.
“I met people who worked harder than executives.”
“They deserved better.”
Then she looked toward the board.
“And I found people who cared more about protecting their positions than protecting this company.”
Daniel Reeves stepped forward.
“This is outrageous.”
Olivia turned.
“Then you should have no problem answering questions.”
She handed the auditors a folder.
Daniel froze.
Inside was a complete record.
Every payment.
Every vendor.
Every transfer.
The room erupted.
Board members demanded answers.
Daniel tried to leave.
Security stopped him.
The investigation began immediately.
But one question remained.
Who had organized the entire scheme?
Daniel was only one piece.
Olivia suspected someone higher.
Ethan agreed.
“Someone had access to everything.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know.”
Olivia looked at him.
“Neither do I.”
They stared at the records.
Then Ethan noticed one name.
The chairman.
William Bennett.
Olivia’s uncle.
Her father’s closest adviser.
Her most trusted family member.
She stared at the page.
“No.”
Ethan touched her arm.
“Don’t assume.”
“I won’t.”
But something in her expression told him she was hurt.
Because if William was involved, this wasn’t just a corporate conspiracy.
It was family betrayal.
