Just a Fling,So Why Did He Cry

I’d just sealed another major client for the company, yet, once again, my promotion fell through.

I felt a fierce indignation bubbling up inside me. I was about to confront my boss – who was also my boyfriend – and demand an explanation.

But as I reached his office door, I overheard him talking to a friend:

"Skylar is so capable, why aren't you letting her get promoted?"

Adrian let out a mocking laugh.

"Skylar? She's just a fling, a bed warmer. What real 'capabilities' could she possibly have? That promotion is earmarked for Camilla."
