The story

Emma keeps a low profile at her small company, bringing her own carefully prepared meals because of a sensitive constitution. Her family pays a nutritionist 7,500 dollars a month, and her ingredients are flown in daily by private jet, with fuel costs alone exceeding 1,500 dollars per round trip.

When intern Julia Hall offers five dollars per meal to share that food, Emma refuses. Julia then takes her lunchbox without permission and shares it with the office, calling Emma an orphan and mocking her age and single status. Colleague Karl Ziegler defends Julia, warning that she is the company's future successor.

Emma, secretly the primary heir to her family's business, warns Julia to apologize publicly and pay compensation, then walks out, still furious.
