Madelyn was late. When she arrived at the company, Jane, the head of this studio, was in a discussion.
The sound of her hurried steps caused everyone to look her way. Catching her breath, Madelyn said, clutching her chest, "I'm sorry I'm late." Jane glanced at Madelyn and tapped the table for emphasis. "I was talking about the email from Encounter Gaming. If you're confused about anything, come ask me. We're on a tight schedule, and | expect everyone to give their best. It's important, especially for your final presentations.

It was like Madelyn wasn't even there.
Clement approached with paperwork in hand. "Madelyn," he began, but she interrupted him, "Clement, weren't we already swamped with one project? Why did we take another?" Clement replied, "It's done. We hustled the past few days, and as of yesterday, we've turned everything in." Madelyn paused for a moment. "B-But... Yesterday, | contacted the person in charge from Encounter Gaming about the sketches, and he said they were fine." Clement responded, "l asked about that this morning. During the past few days when you were on sick leave, Jane stepped in and handled your tasks. She's been burning the midnight oil to get it done. As for the person in charge you mentioned, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe ask Jane?" Madelyn glanced at Jane who was sitting at her desk. She then looked away and pursed her lips as she smiled faintly, "I got it.
Thank you, Clement.
"By the way, what's my task for the new project we just took on?" "Let me check." Clement flipped through the documents. He looked at the end of the documents and said, "For this new project, Encounter Gaming is working on a shooting game. And we need to design a few female characters. You'll be responsible for this character.” Madelyn responded, "Okay. Thank you." She put down her bag before looking at the sketches in her hand that were almost completed. She was disappointed. This was her first-time taking charge of a project. She thought she could handle it very well. However, she still messed it up in the end.
This time, it was her fault that she wasted time. She could not blame anyone else.

Soon after, Jane rose from her seat. "Good news! Encounter Gaming's bonus just came through. The finance team will distribute it to everyone's bank accounts shortly." Everyone stood up, clapped, and cheered. They said, "Thank you!" The bonus was a handsome amount, no wonder everyone was elated.
"But..." Jane's gaze settled on Madelyn, her tone turning frosty. "Madelyn, your delays forced the team to pull several all-nighters.
Therefore, you won't be receiving a share. Are you okay with that?" Madelyn, without hesitation, replied, "I understand.” Clement jumped to Madelyn's defense. "Jane, you should know that she was sick during the days she was absent. She didn't miss work for no reason. Moreover, there were still several days left until the submission deadline. With Madelyn's skills, she would've easily caught up.” Jane responded, "Clement, did I not tell you? Encounter Gaming asked us to complete the project as quickly as possible.
Everyone had their parts ready, and we couldn't wait just because one person lagged behind." She coldly added, "Reasons for falling behind don't concern me." MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
