    She figured they didn’t like her work because she wasn’t good enough.


    If it had ended there, it would have been fine. But what happened next really upset her.


    Less than two months after she finished the script, a filmpany bought it.


    Trisha knew many small–time actors from chatting in groups.


    A few days ago, one of them shared some good news


    He was going to y a role in a TV series and his pay was 30% higher per episode. Everyone was


    happy for him and they decided to celebrate at his ce.


    They drank quite a bit. The actor was so happy about his pay raise that he took out the script and


    excitedly said he would perform a scene for them.


    At first, Trisha was just having fun with everyone else. But as she listened, she felt something was off


    The familiar lines, weren’t they the ones she had rewritten?


    She took the script andpared it, the script the writer had sold was the exact version she had


    modified, without a single letter changed This angered Trisha The next day, she confronted the writer.


    At first, they denied it. Then they said they sent the wrong draft. Then they offered topensate her.


    When she insisted on having her nan the script, they even threatened her with the actor leaking the


    script.


    Trisha was furious and publicly exposed the incident in several writers‘ groups.


    The incident stirred a lot ofmotion in the writers‘ circle, but it did not resolve the way she had


    hoped.


    The script was made into a TV series, the writer still made money, and the actor who had shown her


    the script lost his role.


    Thepany didn’t punish Trisha publicly. But after thest episode wrapped up, they told her to take


    a break.


    Trisha knew she was being sidelined.


    She was probably going to be asked to resign for some other reason after her vacation ended.


    She didn’t want to work for this money–grubbing, heartlesspany anymore. But she felt guilty for


    getting her friend in trouble

    Seeing Trisha’s upset face, Nics knew his guess was almost correct.


    “So they really got rid of you?”


    She gently pushed away his approaching face and said listlessly, “Just shut up.”


    Nics hummed in response, “Who else could work six days a week, 12 hours a day, with insufficient


    rest, and still be ready to jump off the bed in


    a second even if woken up by the boss in the middle of the night? Is your boss nutty? How could he


    even think of firing you?”


    Thinking of all those years she had spent working overtime, all the effort she had put into her work, only


    to end up in this mess, Trisha couldn’t help but curse, “He’s such a moron!”


    Nics chimed in, “A total moron.”


    Having vented her feelings, Trisha felt a bit better, but as soon as she thought of work again, she


    started to worry.


    “He’s not firing me now, just leaving me hanging Clearly, he’s forcing me to quit voluntarily. If I quit, I


    won’t get any severance pay. But if I don’t quit and he keeps me hanging like this, I won’t earn much


    sry either, I can only waste time with him. He’s got money, he can afford to y this game, but me, a


    wage ve, how long can Ist?”


    Moreover, the whole thing was nowmon knowledge in their circle. Finding another job as a


    scriptwriter might be tough, because no one wants an employee who is such a trouble ma


    “Quit, then. If this kind of boss isn’t firing you, what are you waiting for?” said Nics, leaning back on


    the couch, “Come work at mypany.”
