The air in the glass-walled lobby of Apex Corporation was thick with tension. Seconds prior, Marcus had been towering over Elena, his voice booming with arrogant disdain as he threw a thick stack of cash at her head, laughing bitterly as bills fluttered down her shoulders. He leaned in close, grid-locked in fury, shouting, "You don't call the shots here, you miserable failure! If you don't listen to me, you'll see what happens!"

Elena stood unbothered, her expression a calm, unyielding mask despite the wad of cash remaining balanced on her head. She didn't flinch, nor did she lower her gaze.

Just as Marcus leaned closer to issue another threat, a heavy hand firmly gripped his right shoulder from behind. Marcus spun around, his mouth already open to unleash his anger on whoever dared to touch him—only to freeze in his tracks.

Standing behind him was a tall security guard in dark sunglasses, flanked by two corporate directors in sleek black suits.

With absolute composure, Elena met Marcus's startled eyes and calmly spoke in Spanish: "Por favor, retírese"—"Please, remove yourself."

The arrogant smirk vanished from Marcus's face, replaced by a sudden wave of confusion and shock. The firm grip on his shoulder tightened as the lead security guard stepped forward.

"Mr. Sterling," the guard stated calmly but firmly, "your access credentials have been revoked. Board orders. You are to leave the premises immediately."

Elena slowly reached up, pulled the stack of money from her head, and neatly stacked it alongside the bill tucked into her collar. She stepped forward, looking down at the bewildered man who had underestimated her for months.

What Marcus didn't know was that the entire outburst had been caught on live stream by the corporate security committee, who had already voted to remove him as CEO over accusations of harassment and embezzlement. Elena wasn't just a mid-level executive—she had been appointed by the board of directors as the interim Chief Executive Officer, effective that exact morning.

As the guards escorted a stunned, speechless Marcus toward the glass doors of the building, Elena adjusted her blazer, turned toward the corporate elevator, and stepped inside to take her new seat at the top floor.
