In the evidence, the two of them looked like a couple. They were kissing in secluded spots on campus and went to a hotel together four days a week. Aron had even become a VIP at a hotel near the school.
Just then, my work phone rang. It was Sini, my assistant.
"Mr. Lake, the list of employees eligible for promotion has been sent to your email for review."
"Anything unusual on the list?"
Rubbing my temples, I forced myself to focus on work.
"There's one student from the fourth district, bottom of the sales rankings. Despite his poor performance, his team leader keeps praising him and is considering signing him on permanently after graduation. His name is...Aron."

The next day, I went with Sini to the property where Aron worked. She dropped me off at the entrance while she went to the parking lot, and I headed inside on my own.
It was lunchtime, and the employees were sitting in small groups, taking a break. I immediately spotted Wendy in the corner, crying, with Aron by her side, trying to comfort her.
"Hello, sir, is there something I can help you with?"
A young woman at the entrance quickly got up from her meal and greeted me with a standard smile, perfect for a sales rep.
