About Terminated - Trust No One

When Stephanie lands the position she's always wanted, she thinks it's her chance for a fresh start. But on her first day, she's met with frozen smiles and fearful whispers. Her new coworkers are convinced she's a spy, sent to get them fired. The reason? A lavish, expensive chair-a gift from a powerful person she never asked for. Now, Stephanie is trapped. Her new supervisor is a manipulative mastermind who hides behind a mask of faith. Her body is mysteriously failing her. And the only person offering help might be the one plotting her downfall. As the lies deepen and the sabotage turns dangerous, Stephanie must uncover the terrifying truth about the woman who held the job before her-and why she really disappeared. In a game of survival where everyone is a suspect, how far would you go to prove you're not the enemy? Dear Mr. James, Thank you so very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read "Terminated" and for sharing such a thoughtful and constructive review. I truly appreciate readers like you, who engage so deeply with the narrative and its characters. Your insightful observations regarding the story's brevity and the deliberate sparseness of detail surrounding characters like Kevin and Mr. Walker, as well as Stephanie's mysterious trip overseas, are very well-received. It was a specific authorial choice to craft the chapters with a certain pace and to withhold certain information precisely to build a sense of suspense and lingering questions. I am delighted to let you know that your curiosity is the very engine that drives the next part of this story. "Terminated" is intended as the first act, and the sequel finds Stephanie in a place of deep reflection, where she will delve into the harrowing details of her experiences. Part Two is designed to provide the very depth you are seeking, unveiling the truths about her medical journey, the sudden tragedy of April, and the full complexities of the characters you met briefly. Knowing that the narrative has left you wondering and wanting to know more is the highest compliment you could pay this first installment. I sincerely hope you will choose to join Stephanie again when she reflects in depth on her thorough experience, as Part Two will reveal the information you are so keen to discover. With warm regards and my deepest thanks, Dr. Sheila Hodge-Windover
