Hidden Marriage, Stolen Dreams, Now I Checkmate the CEO

Synopsis

My mouse hovered over the "Confirm Resignation" button. Without a second thought, I clicked it. The CEO's office door was half open, and Theo Ludwig's voice came right through the wall. Every word felt like a slap in the face. Leo said, "Sofia is so rigid. Sending her to Berringer Labs would be a waste of a slot. Let Sunny go instead. She can pad her resume, and it'll grease the wheels for us. Good for the company too." I'd spent a year and a half fighting for that spot, written three rounds of applications, and pulled over sixty all-nighters. A coworker leaned over, whispering, "Who's that pretty girl in Mr. Ludwig's office?" I stuffed my resignation letter into an envelope, forcing a smile. "Mr. Ludwig's ex-girlfriend. Looks like she's about to become official."
