Chapter 3: The Humiliation
Around 6:15 PM, Benjamin received a call.
The catering team needed help.
The service corridor on the 40th floor was overflowing with waste after dinner preparation. Benjamin loaded his cart and quietly took the freight elevator upstairs.
He did what he always did.
He worked.
He separated recycling.
He cleaned spills.
He organized the mess left behind by hundreds of guests.
Nobody thanked him.
Nobody noticed him.
Until the service door opened.
For a few seconds, Benjamin appeared near the edge of the gala hall with his cleaning cart.
Three hundred guests were enjoying dinner.
