After His Secretary Insulted Me

Synopsis

My husband’s secretary used my membership card to throw her weight around at The Crest Club, even insulting me in front of a whole table of guests. “She’s just a pampered trophy wife Andrew keeps around. Other than having a pretty face, what can she actually do?” she said. I didn’t say a word. I simply froze her membership privileges. She couldn’t even pay the bill, and ended up humiliated in front of a room full of business associates. When my husband found out, he slipped an arm around my shoulders and chuckled. “You’re so petty. Why bother stooping to her level?” He didn’t punish me for it. In fact, on our wedding anniversary, he went out of his way to book the top-floor private dining room at The Crest Club, saying he had a surprise for me. I went there with my heart full of anticipation. But when the restaurant was almost closing, he finally showed up, hand in hand with his secretary. He looked at me and smiled. “Charlotte, aren’t you the one who loves making people unable to pay their bills? Tonight, it’s your turn.” ***** I still hadn’t decided whether I was going back to Southshore. But there was one thing I’d already made up my mind about. I was going to give Andrew exactly the kind of “anniversary” he’d given me tonight. Every last bit of it. With interest.
