The Heiress's Reckoning: A Scallion for a Bonus

Summary

While my colleagues were grinning from ear to ear, holding their generous year-end bonuses, I happily stepped onto the stage.

Mia, the CEO's secretary, held a single scallion tied with a red ribbon and threw it at me with a mocking smirk.

"Director Hastings, here is your year-end bonus: one scallion."

A wave of snickers rippled through the audience as malicious glances darted my way.

I looked at Mia with a cold face. "What is the meaning of this?"

She looked at me arrogantly. "Some people are just like a scallion, so they get a scallion. Is there a problem?"
