"At My Parents' Anniversary, They Mocked My 'Small Business'—Then My CFO Called"

"At My Parents' Anniversary, They Mocked My 'Small Business'—Then My CFO Called" @Revenge Zone The Grand Plaza Hotel's ballroom sparkled with expensive decorations and even more expensive guests. My parents' 30th anniversary celebration was exactly what you'd expect from the owners of Anderson Industries - extravagant, showy, and designed to impress. I adjusted my simple black dress, a stark contrast to the flashy designer wear around me. My brother Michael's voice carried across the room as he regaled some investors with tales of his latest corporate conquest. Same old Michael - always performing, always the star. "Sofia!" My mother's voice cut through my thoughts. "Darling, you finally made it." Her air kiss barely grazed my cheek, careful not to smudge her perfect makeup. "Though you could have worn something more... appropriate for the occasion." I bit back a retort. My dress cost more than her entire outfit, but she'd never know that. I preferred to let people underestimate me - it made things more interesting later. "Happy anniversary, Mom," I said, handing her a small, elegantly wrapped package. She weighed it in her hand, disappointment already clouding her features. "Oh... how... thoughtful." The package probably felt too light compared to Michael's gift - a pair of first-class tickets for their world cruise. My father appeared beside her, champagne in hand. "Sofia! Still running that little shop of yours?" It wasn't a shop. It was a tech company specializing in AI-driven security systems. But they'd never bothered to understand what I actually did. "The business is doing well, Dad," I replied carefully. Michael sauntered over, his new Rolex catching the light. "Oh, come on, sis. 'Doing well' is what people say when they're barely surviving. How many employees do you have now? Five? Six?" I had over three thousand employees across twelve countries, but I just smiled. "Enough to get the work done." "See?" Michael turned to our parents. "While I'm out here making real moves, closing billion-dollar deals, Sofia's playing entrepreneur with her cute little startup." Mom patted my arm sympathetically. "Honey, you know there's always a place for you at Anderson Industries. Your father and Michael could use someone to manage the smaller accounts..." "I'm good, Mom," I cut in. "Really."
