LOGINOn the day we receive our bonus, one of the staff members of the finance department gives me 500 dollars worth of vouchers for the fast food restaurant downstairs. He tells me that my wife, Jillian Dunn, who is also the company's president, specifically ordered him to do so. In utter disbelief, I seek out Jillian and question her. "Didn't we agree that whoever secures the project will get a 50,000-dollar bonus? Stop messing around! I still need to pay for Freya's cochlear implant!" "I'm not messing around with you," Jillian answers seriously. "These vouchers can last you for a whole month. I wouldn't even give them to you if you were anyone else. "Money is tight right now at the company. Besides, Freya has been deaf for more than a decade now. She can survive being deaf for another decade." The next day, Jillian gives one of the interns a sports car that's worth 50,000 dollars. I look at the photo she uploads of her and the intern grinning widely as they sit in the car and give it a like. Jillian must assume that everything is proceeding smoothly since she has signed the contract. However, she misses the additional condition that's printed on the last page of the contract. I dial her rival's number, asking, "Ms. Swan, are you interested in Project Charlie?"
View MoreBehind me, Jillian let out a heartbroken wail.She didn't give up despite what I told her that day and kept seeking me out.Growing tired of her constant harassment, I put in a request with Elise to be transferred out of the country, and she readily agreed.Only when I boarded the plane did I learn that the colleague accompanying me out of the country was none other than Elise herself.Seeing me frozen to the spot in a daze, she faked a stern voice and asked, "What are you looking at? Am I not allowed to abuse my authority as the boss of the company?"I chuckled and nodded. "Of course, you can. You're the boss, after all. Your word is law."Freed from Jillian's harassment, I dedicated myself to my work and secured several major projects for Starshower Group in a single month.Elise was also exceptionally generous toward me, rewarding me with handsome bonuses that kept increasing.Finally, I was able to afford the best cochlear implant surgery for Freya. Every hurdle I had to ov
"John's right," Jillian said. "We're not officially divorced yet, Felix. You're obligated to pay half of the company's debts. You're the vice president of Starshower Group. Dunn Group will be saved as long as you give us any two of your projects. You won't have to pay the debts then."She must think that I would obediently acquiesce to her demands by threatening me with Dunn's Group's debts. Instead, I calmly sent her a document."So, you want to bring the law into the equation, huh? You might want to reconsider your decision after taking a good look at the financial statement I just sent you."Ever since Jillian started fooling around with Jonathan, she had been spending an exorbitant amount of money on him. She bought him all sorts of luxury items and took him on trips all around the world. When she ran out of money, she would use the company's funds.It was estimated that she had used millions of dollars of the company's money.Since Jillian was the president, the finance depar
Jillian said, "If the interns gain more experience and grow more proficient quickly, our company will also reap the benefits and be able to—"I interrupted her preposterous explanation. "So, you're telling me that you admire his talent for ordering food delivery? Or were you impressed by his ways of coaxing a woman?"Forget it. It's pointless to continue talking about this now. Why don't you use the time you have left to come up with a plan with that talented intern of yours for the future of Dunn Group? Oh, that's right. I'll send the divorce agreement to you shortly."It'll be ideal for us to have an amicable separation. Of course, if you want to escalate the case to court, I'll be more than happy to assist you through to the very end. But I do wonder if the court will take your side once they see the evidence I have of your infidelity."I knew Jillian wouldn't be willing to hand Dunn Group over to me. That afternoon, she sent the divorce agreement back to me with her signature o
"Both Freya and I are humans too, Jillian. We have the right to live comfortably. Since you decided to mistreat me first, don't blame me for retaliating in my own way," I said.Jillian's expression twisted. A long moment passed before she exclaimed, "You shouldn't have done this no matter how angry you are, Felix! Dunn Group won't be able to last long without Project Charlie."I'll tell the finance department to transfer 50,000 dollars to you now. I'll let you have full control over the project too."My resolve didn't waver. "It's too late. I'm an employee of Starshower Group now."Jillian clambered off the stage and grabbed my arm. "It's fine. You can leave Starshower Group and return to Dunn Group," she said anxiously. "Don't worry about the compensation fee, I'll cover it for you."I retracted my arm and said coldly, "I don't want to."The guests began to whisper among themselves as they watched the scene unfold before them."It looks like Dunn Group has no stake in Project C
