The words on the screen were electric: "Transition your duties to a new employee." Joy unfurled in Olivia's chest, a warm and fizzy feeling. She had been secretly hoping for this. This was her chance to start a new business.

She spent the day tidying up and organizing, wanting to leave everything in perfect order. She hummed a cheerful tune as she prepared a detailed training manual.

When her replacement, a woman named Jessica, arrived, Olivia greeted her with a dazzling smile. "Jessica! It's so lovely to meet you! I have so much to show you!" she exclaimed. "Let's get started right away!"
