Everybody pads their r sum .
It's not a crime.
In fact, it's almost a crime not to do it.
Inflate a qualification.
Charm your interviewers.
This is my playbook for securing that paycheck.
My name is Carina Wu, Director of the ASSET, a mysterious new program I've claimed to be an expert in.
Except...
It's possible I might have fibbed too close to the sun.
What is the ASSET, exactly?
I'm giving a presentation on it in two weeks.
So I guess I'd better find out...
But all is not lost.
I have a secret coworker.
Rhys Stiltskine is an unpleasant grump whom I wholeheartedly dislike and secretly nicknamed 'Rumpelstiltskin.'
He's willing to help me spin my pile of lies into gold and save me from a very public firing.
For a fee, of course.
What do you want, Rumpelstiltskin?
What do you need?
What do you yearn for?
Rhys doesn't know, though he enjoys keeping me in suspense.
Until he finally breaks: "Something money can't buy."
But is it something I have the power to give?
