The news arrived via a company-wide email: a promotion for Claire. Maria felt a wave of nausea wash over her. She knew this was a possibility, and she hated, absolutely hated, the way her stomach was churning.

She found herself analyzing every detail of Claire’s behavior, meticulously scrutinizing her work for any sign of weakness. Was her presentation really that good? Did she truly deserve this? The questions echoed in her mind, a relentless loop.
