She Was Called “The Gray Mouse” — Until One Night Changed Everything

Her father had built a substantial business portfolio—properties, investments, and shares in multiple companies.

Among them was a company called “TradeInvest.”

The same company where Dmitry worked.

Stepping Into a New Role
For weeks, Anna struggled to absorb the change.

Her life, once predictable and modest, now carried unexpected weight.

She didn’t tell Dmitry everything.

She simply said she had changed jobs.

He didn’t ask many questions.

That, in itself, told her something.

As she began reviewing the business assets, her background in economics proved invaluable. She studied reports, met with advisors, and gradually developed a clearer picture of what she had inherited.

One company, however, stood out.

TradeInvest.

She requested a meeting with its CEO, a seasoned executive who approached the conversation carefully.

“The company is stable,” he explained, “but there are concerns in the sales department.”

Anna listened closely.

“There’s one employee in particular,” he continued. “Strong performance on paper, but inconsistent profitability.”

He paused.

“We’re looking into it.”
