The Funeral Planner's Revenge

Chapter 1

1,342 words

The plan I had spent half a year perfecting finally won over the wedding contract for the top celebrity.

That directly turned our struggling company into a huge overnight success.

Right after the wedding ended, I collapsed from days of pulling all-nighters and was carried into the hospital.

On my hospital bed, my boss, Harrison, came to see me personally. His tone was gentle.

"Victoria, I heard your parents aren't in the best health. How about this? We won't give you the commission for that $10,000 wedding contract."

"When your parents pass away in the future, the company will throw you a $20,000 funeral for free. Think of it as a perk."

As he finished, he looked like he was showing off his generosity, squinting as he waited for me to thank him over and over.

I froze on the hospital bed, completely stunned.

On my first day back at the company after being discharged, Harrison urgently called me into his office.

"Victoria, get started on a new proposal right now!"

"The top celebrity Samantha's victory party has to have the highest-tier budget!"

"This kind of big-name deal, you have to land it! We absolutely cannot let any other wedding company steal our spotlight!"

I idly twirled the lollipop I'd just unwrapped between my fingers and looked up casually.

"A wedding? Sorry, but I only know how to plan funerals."
