Fired for a Cigarette_ The Cost of Loving Her

For the company’s latest project, I worked tirelessly for twenty-four hours straight—leading the team to success.

While waiting to sign the contract, I slipped into the stairwell for a quick cigarette, trying to stay awake.

I never expected that by the next day, I’d be reported by my fiancée’s newly hired male assistant—and fired from the company.

When I confronted my fiancée, Valeria Brooks, she simply said, “Didn’t you know the company has a no-smoking policy? Honestly, getting fired is the least of your concerns.”

She added casually, “If you weren’t my fiancé, I’d fine you too.”
