The Temporary Boss

Lina Hart needs her job to keep her mother's care paid.

Then layoffs hit. Gossip turns vicious. Leadership wants a scapegoat, and Lina is convenient—the woman "too close" to the new CEO. Adrian Vale promised protection. Now he starts speaking in board-approved lines, while the people Lina fights for get treated like numbers and noise. If she stays quiet, she might keep the lights on at home. If she names what she's seen, she risks her badge, her paycheck, and the fragile stability her mother depends on.

Keep her head down—or tell the truth and lose everything. Look inside.
