His Mistress Fired the Wrong Wife

Synopsis

I'd given that company eight years, and three of its core patents were in my name. I was walking past HR when I caught a glimpse of the layoff list the CEO's secretary had put together. The first name on it was mine. I didn't make a sound. I went back to my desk and finished my exit paperwork in three minutes. On my way down, my husband came hurrying over. "Honey, the license on those three patents of yours runs out at the end of the month. Don't forget to renew." I stopped and looked at him. "That girl you've never gotten over just fired me." Every bit of color drained out of his face. I smiled and waved him off. "The patents? I'm taking them with me."
