The Hustle Queen

When Valerie joins the office, she boasts of all-nighters and earns the title of hustle queen. But Hannah, the disciplined one who sleeps eight hours every night, watches her own health collapse: dark circles, blackouts, and organs failing like a sixty-year-old's. Only Hannah knows the truth—Valerie is siphoning her exhaustion into her.

Confronting Valerie only brings scorn. The boss sneers that the night shift might suit Hannah better, and colleagues accuse her of jealousy. When Valerie wins a major deal by being available around the clock, Hannah collapses dead on her night shift—then wakes up back at Valerie's first week.

This time, Hannah empties a bottle of sleeping pills into Valerie's coffee. But Valerie fights off the dose with alcohol and parties until dawn, leaving Hannah hungover and disgraced. With her reputation in ruins, Hannah resigns, determined to cut herself off from Valerie completely and stay alive.
