Story
The story
Harper Vance arrives at a research lab where the manager, Mandy Smith, announces to the team's group chat that the newcomer is treating everyone to dinner at Lumina Private Dining. Harper never agreed to any such thing, yet the tab climbs to $18,000. Mandy calls it a prank, then insists that buying dinner for seniors is an unwritten rule and that Harper should simply pay.
Harper refuses, and the lab turns on her: she is removed from the group chat, mocked online, and her desk is buried under clutter and lab waste while her belongings are dumped in the hallway. When Mandy seizes her encrypted drive and threatens to report her for espionage unless she pays, Harper warns her that the data is proprietary and the destruction of her work will have consequences.
Mandy calls Academic Affairs to have the "intern" expelled, only to be told no graduate interns were assigned to the department this semester. Harper is not a student at all, and she now sees just how corrupt this lab has become.
Opening excerpt
I had barely set foot in the research lab when she blasted an announcement into our WhatsApp group.
[Our new girl, Harper Vance, wants to bond with the team! She's treating everyone to dinner tonight at the newly opened high-end rooftop restaurant, Lumina Private Dining!]
As the supposed host, I had zero clue about any of this.
It wasn't until my phone started blowing up with people tagging me like crazy to pay the bill that I realized they had already run up a tab of $18,000.
