The Wife Who Stopped Playing Nice

Synopsis

At the airport, Alex Carter handed two first-class tickets to Sophie White, the sales director, and her assistant. Then he turned to me and handed me a bus ticket. "Honey, the company budget is tight. You and the admin team will take the bus to the neighboring state for your connecting flight. It'll save us 6,000 dollars." Sophie shot me an apologetic look. "Sorry, I have a bad back and can't handle long bus rides. I know it's a hassle for you." The employees nearby started whispering, shooting me looks that were half pity, half amusement. After all, I was the one who stuck with Alex when we were broke, living off fast food together. I looked at Alex. "You really want me to take the bus?" He waved me off impatiently. "You're my wife. You gotta lead by example. Take care of the team, and you'll earn their respect." "Fine." I gave him a nod and left. Once I was outside the airport, I called the family office. "Philip, get my private jet ready. And tell finance to cut off all funding to CarterTech."
