So you are the one

William Thompson was one of the directors at Sterling Group. He had worked here for a very long time. He had a reputation for being ambitious and ruthless, always seeking ways to climb the corporate ladder. 

He looked down on employees and even sabotaged the careers of those he viewed as competition. His ambition knew no bounds, and he was willing to do whatever it took to advance his own interests, even if it meant stepping on others along the way.

Despite his polished exterior, there was a sense of cunning behind his eyes that made Daniel uneasy. William forced a smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Of course, Daniel. What's on your mind?" 

Daniel led him to a quieter corner of the office, away from prying eyes and ears. "I couldn't help but notice some discrepancies in the project proposal you submitted," he began, keeping his tone neutral.
