At Dad's Retirement, They Gave Me The Janitor's Closet—Then The CEO's Office Called
‪‪@echoofwrath-w2y‬

I adjusted my gray maintenance uniform, watching from the back of the auditorium as Anderson Global celebrated my father's retirement. Forty years as CEO, and his crowning achievement was about to be announced.
"And now," the interim CEO smiled, "the future leadership of Anderson Global."
My sister Victoria preened in her front-row seat, her designer suit perfectly pressed. She'd spent years cultivating her image as the heir apparent, while I'd spent mine learning every aspect of our business - starting from the ground up.
"The board has made its decision," he continued. "But first, let's discuss office assignments for our departing CEO's children."
Victoria's smile widened. Everyone knew the executive suite was being renovated for her - or so she thought.
"Victoria Anderson will assume control of our Pacific division," he announced. "Your office is on the thirty-second floor."
Her smile faltered slightly. The executive offices were on forty.
"And Sarah Anderson..." he paused, checking his notes. "You'll be based in building maintenance. Your office is on B2."
Suppressed laughter rippled through the crowd. Victoria shot me a triumphant smirk.
I kept my expression neutral, continuing to dust the back railings. For six months, I'd worked as a janitor, learning our operations from the bottom while the board executed our carefully planned strategy.
"Enjoy your 'office'," Victoria whispered as she passed me later. "Though I suppose a mop closet suits you."
If she only knew that her Pacific division role was temporary, that the real announcement was coming in exactly one hour.
My phone buzzed silently in my pocket - another update from the real executive floor, where the final preparations were being made.
