I Built a Secret Empire While My Family Thought I Was Just a Secretary
The Mason family dinner was always a grand affair, held in my uncle's sprawling mansion overlooking the city. Every month, the "successful" members of our family gathered to celebrate their achievements and remind me of my apparent failures. Tonight was no different, except that tomorrow everything would change.
I adjusted my intentionally plain dress – a $50 bargain store find that perfectly maintained my carefully crafted image of the struggling secretary. The crystal chandelier cast dancing shadows across the mahogany dining table as my cousin Marcus held court, regaling everyone with tales of his latest corporate conquest.
"And just like that, we acquired their entire Pacific division," he boasted, swirling his expensive wine. "Another billion-dollar deal for Mason Enterprises."
My aunt Evelyn beamed at her son with undisguised pride.
