My Best Friend's Wife Fired Me, So I Retaliated

Just because my business expenses exceeded the budget by 8.8 dollars, my entire reimbursement form was voided—and I was fined one thousand dollars on top of that.

I hurried to the boss's wife, Marina, who managed the company's finances, to confront her.

She didn't even look up, lazily trimming her nails as she said, "That's the company's new policy. Nothing I can do about it."

"Rules are rules—without them, there's no order."

I couldn't reason with her, so I went to talk to Geoffrey, the boss himself, but instead of listening, he lectured me harshly.
