Plot Twists

My boss had a new boyfriend called Eugene Larson. The first day he came to the office, he put on a great show of exerting his dominance. He deleted my number from my boss's phone right in front of me. Eugene waved his phone in front of me while playing innocently. "You can talk to me about anything you need to communicate to Tina, Mr. Sanders. I'll help you pass the message to her. I don't have much sense of security, so please don't mind this. It's to avoid any misunderstanding between us." I was hoping my boss, Tina Kayden, would be able to say something fair on my behalf, but all she did was stare at Eugene approvingly and adoringly throughout the conversation. She turned to me and said, "This is a pretty good plan, Mr. Sanders. Do take good care of Eugene from now on." As there was no way for me to reject her, I was forced to add Eugene's contact to my phone. However, the moment he had my number, he flooded my phone with messages. [Mr. Sanders, is the client you're meeting tomorrow with the surname Charleston a man or a woman?] [Where are you having the meeting tomorrow? Wear something casual tomorrow. It would be best if you avoid washing your face and hair. Otherwise, I would think you're trying to seduce my wife.] [I believe your relationship with Tina is innocent. You're not allowed to betray me because I'm treating you like my buddy!] [By the way, you have an extra duty from now on. You need to remind Tina every 30 minutes to send me a message telling me that she loves me.] As I read these ridiculous messages, I laughed in anger. I put my phone on silent mode and flung it to the side before going to bed. The next morning, I woke up to dozens of missed calls on my phone.

Chapter 1

My heart skipped a beat as I quickly returned the call. I thought there was an emergency.

When my call got through, Eugene Larson's shrill voice exploded into my ear. "Andrew Sanders! What were you doing last night? Why didn't you pick up my call?! Were you doing something sneaky? Where did you sleep last night? Turn on your location. I'm checking where you are right now! I'm warning you. If I find out you tried to seduce Tina behind my back, I'll tear you apart!"

It rendered me speechless to listen to his hysterical accusations. I was the general manager of the company, not his or Tina Kayden's personal secretary. I tried my best to hold in my temper as I replied coldly, "Mr. Larson, I'm not obligated to report my personal schedule and life to you. You can go to Miss Kayden for any inquiries you may have.”

"Whatever I do after work is considered my personal time. It's my freedom to be where I want. You have no right to interfere."

Eugene scoffed. He said threateningly, "You must be guilty of something if you refuse to tell me where you are. I'll tell my wife to fire you."

"Mr. Larson." I could not help retorting, "You keep referring to Miss Kayden as your wife. May I know if both of you are officially married? I'm willing to accept punishment if I did anything wrong at work, but if you're using the excuse of my 'feeling guilty' to fire me, please forgive me when I say that it would be unacceptable."

However, Eugene refused to listen to what I had to say. He continued stubbornly, "Tell me right now! What were you doing when you refused to pick up my call?"

I was not in the mood to argue with him, so I replied impatiently, "It was nighttime, of course I was sleeping. What else would I be doing?"

"Sleeping?" His tone suddenly turned indignant. He sounded like he finally had something on me. "Were you sleeping alone? Where do you live? You didn't secretly move near where Tina stays, did you? I don't care what you say, just send me your location right now, or I swear I won't let you off!"

There was nothing I could do to stop his harassment, so I sent him my location after hanging up. He stopped making a fuss right after that.

Eugene sent me another message in less than two minutes. This time, his tone softened with me.[I'm so sorry, Bro! I was being too sensitive. Tina is such an extraordinary woman, and I'm always fearful that someone would snatch her away from me. Don't be mad at me, all right?][Take more photographs of Tina for me later when you have your meeting.]I rolled my eyes at how fast the way he changed his tone in his messages. I held back my frustration and quickly cleaned up to rush to the office.Eugene was a university student who Tina had hooked up with. Since Eugene found out she was the boss of her own company, he came running to the office to announce his 'ownership' of her. However, this young man must either be dimwitted or read too many romance novels. He treated every male employee in the company like his love rival. As Tina's university classmate and the general manager who built the company with her, I naturally became enemy number one in his eyes.He guarded me as if I wer

All Eugene did was scoff and reply indignantly, "Can you handle the consequences if I fought with Tina and it affected her work?"This reply rendered me speechless. I had no idea what he was thinking. The way his brain worked was a complete mystery to me. Before I could say another word, Eugene continued being pushy, "Turn on your camera right now! I want to see where you are and who is with you. Get a 360-degree angle of your surroundings clearly!"Frustration filled me to the brim. I clenched my phone and tried to be as patient as possible. "I'm in a meeting, Mr. Larson. Can you stop making a scene? Please contact Miss Kayden if you need anything. I'm just a manager, not a messenger between lovers.""Turn on your camera! Turn it on, and I'll believe you! Otherwise, whatever you tell me is a lie!"I had nothing to hide, so I turned on my camera and aimed it at the door of the meeting room I had just walked out of. "See that? I told you I was in a mee…""Aaaarggghhh! Andrew Sand

I was stunned. I could not believe my ears. "Miss Kayden, I was the one who was slapped for no good reason!""So what?" Tina frowned. It was ridiculous how indignant she was acting. "You knew how sensitive and insecure Eugene can be. Why didn't you reply him in time? This is a reflection of your failure to do your job! I didn't instruct you to delete him from your contacts. Why would you delete him?"If Kent was not present, I would have flung the documents in my hand onto both their faces.I tried my best to suppress my anger and immediately displayed my phone's screen on the big screen. The screen was filled with hundreds of messages from Eugene with ridiculous orders. From checking my location to instructing how I should dress. They also contained requests from him for me to remind Tina to say loving words to him.Eugene turned silent, and he tried to look away. Tina was also stunned by the screen filled with messages."Tell me, Miss Kayden." My voice was cold, but it filled th

The afternoon sun was drooping toward the East when I exited Kent's company. I did not return to the office but headed home instead. It was time to prepare for my resignation. It was only when I entered my house that my tense body started to relax. I sat limply on the sofa and took out my phone to take care of any unread messages regarding work. The first few messages that popped up on my phone screen were from my buddy and colleague, Walter Shore.Walter: [Damn, are you the one that cuckoo boyfriend is talking about in his social media posts?]Walter: [Screenshot]Walter: [Oh my gosh, I have no idea what to say about that cuckoo couple. They keep creating drama. I have a bad feeling that the company will be over without you.]I clicked on the screenshot. It was a photo Eugene had posted on his social media. There were nine pictures in it that consisted of selfies of him and Tina. They were either holding hands or gesturing a heart sign with their hands. The middle picture was a

I smiled as I consoled him. "It's not the right time. Don't worry. Tina will soon regret the choice she made today."After talking to Walter, I hung up. I felt so much better after talking to him.I got up to prepare to wash up and go to bed. I had just turned on the tap when my phone rang again. This time, the call was from Tina. It was not hard to figure out that Tina had just cajoled Eugene and finally remembered that she had 'business' to attend to now that she had free time. I wiped my hands and picked up the call. Before I could say anything, Tina's impatient voice blared into my ears. "Is the contract signed?"Her words made me laugh in anger. How dare she ask about the contract? She was the one who had caused the problem earlier that afternoon in Kent's company. I tried to suppress my laughter as I replied, "The contract wasn't signed. Mr. Charleston said he had to reconsider it.""What?!" Tina's voice became shrill. It hurt my eardrums so much. "Wasn't he about to sign i

When news of this spread, everyone was stunned. Some were not happy with the decision but were not brave enough to voice their thoughts. Others just lost hope in the company and started updating their resumes.However, Tina did not care about any of these. All she did was focus on pampering Eugene. He contributed nothing while taking the office of general manager. He would sit limply in his leather chair every day at work to either play mobile games on his phone or watch videos on the computer. He would tend to turn up the volume without caring that his colleagues were still at work.When he was bored out of his mind, he would loiter around the office area to pick on small issues. He would find the intern's computer wallpaper too childish and forced the intern to change it to a wallpaper of pure color by claiming that it affected office morale. The next day, he would complain that the fern on the administrative personnel's table looked like it was dying, and he forced her to throw it

Tina was in a panic during the board meeting at the end of the month. Several early investors slammed the table when they saw that the sales data was in sharp decline. They threatened to pull out their investment if she did not salvage the situation. Tina was forced to let go of her ego and personally reach out to clients that she had ignored previously.Her first target was Jonathan Colt, who had worked with the company for three years. Jonathan was in the construction material business. He had several supplier contracts for a few buildings. Eugene had found Jonathan's samples to be old-fashioned, and he purposely knocked over the drinking glasses, which disrupted the contract renewal. Jonathan was so mad that he never contacted her again.Tina waited at the cafe downstairs from Jonathan's office about 30 minutes earlier than the designated time. She specifically wore the suit from three years ago when she first started the company to create the impression that she had not forgotten

Tina watched as I turned my gaze away from her to continue chatting happily with Kent. The ease and confidence I showed was a side that Tina had never once seen before. That was when she realized that she had never once gotten to know me properly, nor did she understand what she had lost.A year later, Tina finally called me. When I took her call, I was seated behind the table that belonged to the CEO of Sanders Corporation. My fingers brushed against documents that waited for me to approve. I was not surprised to see her name on the phone's screen. Less than half a year after I left, I received news that her company had gone bankrupt. It was just a matter of time before that happened.The voice on the other end of the call sounded tired, as if every ounce of strength had been pulled out of her. "I lost my company, Andrew."My fingers paused in the middle of flipping through the papers. There was no emotion in my voice, "Okay. So, what about it?"There was silence on the other en
