Her World Crashed After I Gave Up
My CEO wife, Gianna Richmond, plans on finally publicly announcing our marriage after our company successfully secures funding.
However, a junior colleague that she recently hired, Shane Jagger, suddenly takes the mic from her and bashfully says, "Ms. Richmond, I really didn't think that you would be making our relationship public so quickly. Aren't you spoiling me a little too much?"
Gianna doesn't refute that. Instead, she arranges for him to work on a very important project to help him improve his resume.
At once, all of her employees erupt in cheer and applause, praising them for being a match made in heaven.
A long-time colleague, Henry Danson, notices that I'm not saying anything in response, so he whispers to me, "Hey, Brandon, aren't you usually really good at pleasantries and networking? Hurry up and show some support!"
I decide not to make a fuss. Instead, I take off my project manager work badge and push it toward Shane instead, declaring, "I don't think just being part of the project is good enough for your status. You should be the project manager as well. Think of it as my gift to you for making your relationship public!"
