Quando meu marido, o presidente, soube que eu havia, voluntariamente, cedido um projeto de dezenas de milhões à assistente que ele mais estimava, achou que os três meses de silêncio entre nós finalmente haviam surtido efeito. Então ele tomou a iniciativa de sugerir uma viagem de lua de mel à Islândia. No entanto, ao saber disso, a assistente ficou extremamente enciumada e ameaçou pedir demissão da empresa. Meu marido, que sempre a mimava, entrou em pânico e passou três dias e três noites tentando consolá-la. Depois disso, alegando uma viagem de negócios, voltou a romper a promessa da lua de mel e ainda deu a ela a segunda passagem da viagem. Mais tarde, ele me explicou tudo com total indiferença: — Coisas do coração são pequenas. O trabalho vem sempre em primeiro lugar. Como presidente, tenho que priorizar os negócios. Você é minha esposa. Deveria me apoiar nisso, não é? Olhei para a publicação recém-postada pela assistente no Instagram, uma foto dos dois como um casal, cabeça com cabeça, fazendo coração com as mãos. Não disse uma palavra, apenas assenti levemente. Meu marido achou que eu tinha me tornado mais generosa e compreensiva. Ficou satisfeito e prometeu que, ao retornar, ia me levar para uma lua de mel ainda mais romântica. Mas ele não sabia. Eu já havia pedido demissão, e ele já tinha assinado os papéis do divórcio. Entre ele e eu, não haveria mais um "depois".
