The spreadsheet shimmered, and the numbers swam. John’s eyes landed on the salary listed for Claire, a new hire. The difference was significant. A quiet peace settled within him.

He thought about the opportunities he had been given. The chance to travel, to lead projects, to learn. The company had invested in him over the years. This was just a new chapter, a new direction.

John decided to bring in a box of donuts for the team in the morning. He would smile and encourage the team to support Claire as she found her way. He saw no need for jealousy.
