My Reward Was a Slap

I was in the middle of negotiating a business deal when my husband Ethan’s newly hired intern, Lily, barged in and demanded I go buy her breakfast.

Watching the client’s face darken, I immediately threw her out.

Afterward, I apologized repeatedly before finally securing the partnership.

Just as I was about to share the good news with Ethan, patent agreement in hand, he slapped me twice across the face in front of the entire company.

“You vicious woman! Is money all you ever think about? Do you know you almost got Lily killed?”
