Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Mona had always been composed. Despite her young age, she managed to maintain excellent control in every situation. Over the past few months, with Aurora absent, everyone regarded Mona as the de facto leader.

The entire company respected her. She handled matters with impartiality and professionalism, and no one dared to act against the company's interests. Gemma, however, had truly lost her mind.

Driven by jealousy and lingering resentment toward Aurora, she allowed her emotions to impair her judgment and committed a foolish act.

When Gemma stood before the desk, facing Mona, panic gripped her heart. It was the first time she had ever seen Mona so furious, her anger so intense.

"General Manager, I truly didn't know there was mango in the drink. It was an unintentional mistake. If I had known, I would never have bought it," Gemma said, her tone smooth and persuasive as always.

In the few months she had worked at the company, apart from her dissatisfaction with certain individuals, she had been quite content with her job.

The working conditions were excellent, and the benefits were exceptional. Many people would do anything to secure a position here. She had worked hard to get this job-how could she possibly want to leave?

Besides, she hadn't found a better opportunity elsewhere. Her parents had been thrilled about her landing such a great position, and the thought of being fired filled her with dread.

Initially, Gemma had acted with a destructive mindset, wanting to drag everyone down with her-Heather, Ian, Aurora, and herself included. If they all fell together, she might find some comfort in the chaos.

But now that the situation had resolved smoothly and the press conference had been a huge success, everyone was talking about it. Sun and the perfume brand had gained instant recognition.

Gemma was the only one left feeling bitter. No one else had been hurt in the process, and the stark contrast gnawed at her. She couldn't accept it.
