“Expense reports are due at the end of each month and expenses are reimbursed directly into your bank account by the fourth of each month. Be aware all copies of bills are kept on file, so any line item details of purchases will be recorded.” She gives me a meaningful look.

“Roger that,” I smirk.

She smirks in return. “Call the number on the card to activate and pick your PIN#.”

Good to know. I won’t use it to fill my Kindle with romance books, then.

Phew. Phew!

I am more than relieved to not have to stress so much about money until payday next week. And I’m relieved that I don’t have to borrow money from anyone for the work trip.

Mr. C stops by my cubicle and smiles big.

“I saw that article you posted for us as a guest blog on that marketing resource library. Who wrote that?

“Me.”

Aiden walks by and heads into his office. His door is open, and his eyes are on us.

“It was fantastic. Nicely written. It’s gone viral.”

I smile. “I saw.”

“Good work, Carly.”

“Thanks, Mr. C.”

Yay.

At 4:30, everything is winding down. People are excited about the team building dinner and the weekend and I’m so looking forward to sleeping in, in the morning.

But, then I hear my name barked.

“Carly! Get in here.”

Aiden. At his desk, biceps bulging, face like thunder.

I step in.

“Did you reset the Lingo budget?”

I tilt my head. “No.”

“We’re spending $17,000.00 over our original budget.”

My eyes bulge. “We what?”

“This got set to 17K per day sometime in the last day. We barely use Lingo ads. You know something we don’t?”

“I didn’t reset the budget, Aiden. I did go in two days ago and changed all ads to contextual instead of search engine, though. It was set at 100% search engine, which is likely why the campaigns were bleeding money.”

“This search engine is number six. Six! If anything, the budget should’ve been slashed, not boosted. You need to run budget changes by me.”

“But… I didn’t touch the budget,” I defend.

He spins his computer around so that I can see the screen. And I see it, a budget of $18K per day.

My hand covers my mouth.
