Story

The story

Adrian Hunt controls half the entertainment industry, yet his wife Clara must photograph receipts for five-dollar packs of pads and submit them to his secretary, Victoria Snow, for approval. He is convinced she is a gold digger, so every cent she spends passes through the company system. When her father needs emergency surgery, Clara begs for help, but Victoria rejects her requests on formatting and paperwork grounds, and Adrian tells her to do as Victoria says. By the time the money is refused, her father is gone.

Now Clara has signed her organ donor papers and the divorce agreement. When Adrian sends a message claiming he has resumed her father's treatment and warning her to behave, she answers with a single word. She has nothing left to ask him for, and no reason to stay.

Victoria posts a photo from a high-end restaurant, mocking those who beg for money. Clara, for the first time, likes it, then leaves a comment of her own.
