Two years ago, in the office of a middle-aged woman, Mrs. Wayar, and her son, they were fervently discussing their strategy to ensure he would be chosen as a candidate for the CEO position once Mrs. Panich stepped down. Mrs. Wayar had dedicated herself for years to the company, aiming to secure this opportunity for her son. They believed their chances were solid, especially since Mrs. Panich's own son, Zee, was working in a different company and seemed uninterested in the position.
However, their plans were upended when Mrs. Panich and Mrs. Wayar discussed a potential transition of power to Mrs. Panich's son instead. This decision left Mrs. Wayar deeply disappointed and resentful. She and her son had diligently pursued advancement within the company, only to face the prospect of Mrs. Panich's son being favored for the CEO role, even though Zee had previously declined the position. This turn of events dashed the Wayars' hopes, creating a backdrop of simmering tension and ambition within the company.
Mrs. Panich and Mrs. Wayar had a heated argument in Mrs. Wayar's office that day over the CEO succession plan. Mrs. Wayar passionately advocated for her son, Joss, citing his hard work and qualifications for the CEO position. However, Mrs. Panich remained steadfast in her decision to groom her own son, Zee, as the heir apparent. The disagreement intensified, reflecting deep-seated ambitions and tensions within the company hierarchy.
Tragically, shortly after their confrontation, Mrs. Wayar suffered a heart attack due to her underlying heart condition and passed away. When Joss received the sudden news, he rushed to his mother's office and found her lifeless body on the sofa where she had collapsed. His grief was overwhelming, compounded by his belief that the stress of the argument with Mrs. Panich had contributed to his mother's fatal attack.
Despite medical tests confirming that Mrs. Wayar's death was due to her heart condition, Joss harbored resentment towards Mrs. Panich, holding her indirectly responsible for his mother's demise. This event marked a significant turning point, deepening the rift between Joss and Mrs. Panich, and setting the stage for future conflicts within the company.
Joss's one-month leave turned out to be a tumultuous period marked by profound grief and deteriorating mental health. His overwhelming sorrow over his mother's death spiraled into depression, exacerbated by feelings of resentment and anger towards Mrs. Panich. To cope with his emotional turmoil, Joss turned to drugs, seeking solace in substances that temporarily dulled his pain but ultimately clouded his judgment.
During this vulnerable period, fueled by his distorted emotions and impaired mental state, Joss conceived a vengeful plan against the Panichs. He meticulously crafted a facade of innocence, hiding his true intentions behind a mask of normalcy that deceived those around him. Underneath this facade, he harbored a deep-seated desire to usurp Zee's position within the company, viewing it as a form of retribution against Mrs. Panich and her son.
Driven by his distorted sense of justice and fueled by his grief-stricken state, Joss embarked on a calculated scheme to eliminate Zee and anyone else whom he perceived as obstacles to his goal. This dark turn in Joss's life marked a stark departure from the person he once was, consumed by a toxic blend of grief, anger, and a thirst for revenge.
