The Hazing Bill Was $18,000, But I Own This Lab

The lab manager loved playing "pranks."

I had barely set foot in the research lab when she blasted an announcement into our WhatsApp group.

[Our new girl, Harper Vance, wants to bond with the team! She's treating everyone to dinner tonight at the newly opened high-end rooftop restaurant, Lumina Private Dining!]

As the supposed host, I had zero clue about any of this.

It wasn't until my phone started blowing up with people tagging me like crazy to pay the bill that I realized they had already run up a tab of $18,000.
