The company director fired me in front of everyone. Two hours later, he called and said, “Dress nicely and meet me by the lake. Don’t tell anyone we’re meeting.” When I arrived, he asked me to take a photo with him… and the next morning, that photo was hanging on the door of his office

Mr. Wilson closed the door.

“Sit down.”

 

Then he placed a folder on the table.

“Three months ago, I noticed money disappearing from the company’s accounts.”

Mark went pale.

“At first, we thought it was an accounting error,” Mr. Wilson continued. “But then we realized someone inside the company had been creating fake contracts.”

I still didn’t understand what any of this had to do with me.

He turned toward me.

“Two weeks ago, you accidentally sent me a report that contained three numbers no one else had noticed.”

I remembered.

It had seemed like an ordinary Excel spreadsheet.

 

“Those three numbers led us to start an internal investigation,” he said. “And yesterday, we needed one final piece of evidence.”
