Claimed in Public
During a company dinner, I overindulged in alcohol and mistakenly addressed my boss, Brogan Sheppard, as "husband" in front of everyone.
My coworkers laughed it off. "She’s gone crazy trying to chase the boss."
Brogan shot me a cold look. "If you can’t control your mouth, maybe you shouldn’t be drinking."
In the brief silence that followed, the most difficult client in the room, Leon Williamson, let out a low, mocking laugh. "She was calling me. So why are you getting so worked up?"
