The CEO’s Allowance
I accidentally used the shared bank card linked to my husband, Ryan Newman. Before I could even leave the store, two officers pinned me to the ground and accused me of embezzling company funds.
Right then, Ryan’s new secretary, Georgia Hawkins, called me.
"Mrs. Newman, I was the one who reported you! Do you have any idea how hard Mr. Newman works for his money?
"He works himself to the bone every day. You can’t keep spending so recklessly anymore! Starting today, I’ll be managing all your expenses. Every purchase needs my approval first!
"Oh, and your monthly spending limit is now $500. You already spent $499 today, so don’t even think about spending another cent this month."
Listening to her smug little lecture, I laughed.
Georgia had only been at the company for a month. Just because Ryan treated her politely at work, she’d started acting like she ran his entire life.
Little did she know, the company belonged to me. Every dollar in Ryan's bank account came from me, including her paycheck.
As for the Mr. Newman she worshiped so much? He was just the man who married into my family.
So what gave her the right to manage my money?
