Story

The story

Valerie Hayes has spent seven years carrying her company's sales department, closing the deals that keep the firm afloat while raising a daughter, Lily, who is battling leukemia. At the office, the CEO's daughter, Sloane Caldwell, rules with a severe germaphobia that turns the bullpen into a theatre of humiliation, ordering employees scrubbed and doused in industrial disinfectant for the slightest offence.

When Sloane demands that Valerie's waist-length hair be shaved off, Valerie refuses. That hair is being grown for a wig for Lily, and she has just closed a ten-million-dollar account that sits signed in her briefcase. Cornered by Derek, Monica and Sloane's other loyalists, she fights back, and the confrontation turns violent as the office watches and a young intern quietly raises the alarm.

Valerie must decide what her loyalty to a company that sees her sacrifices as power plays is truly worth.

Opening excerpt

Once, I simply walked past her in the hallway, and she ordered someone to scrub the skin off my arm with a harsh bristle brush.

“From now on, everyone wears hazmat-grade PPE in the office,” she had shrieked. “If you can’t handle it, get the hell out!”

At the end of the month, I closed a massive ten-million-dollar account. But the moment I stepped back into the office, a bucket of industrial disinfectant was hurled right at me.

“Wash the filthy stench of blue-collar sweat off you!”
