My husband prefers Little Lotus. After the divorce, he went bankrupt.

The five years of my marriage turned into a complete joke in that one moment.

"For tomorrow's monthly report meeting, I want Chloe to present your brand strategy proposal." My husband, Marcus, said without even looking up from his desk.

I put down the files I was tidying, thinking I'd misheard him.

"What did you say?"

"Chloe just joined the company. She needs an opportunity to prove herself, and your proposal is perfect for that."

He finally looked up, his eyes leaving no room for discussion.

"That's my submission for the competition."
