The Secret Girlfriend's Revenge: No Second Chances
“For three years, I kept my relationship with Grayson a secret to protect his tech career, playing the role of his strict, single coworker. But I opened our company internal software today to find hundreds of colleagues enthusiastically betting on when he would propose to my best friend, Kloe. I screenshotted it and sent it to Grayson, asking for an explanation. His reply was dismissive: "Just office banter. Can you not be such a prude about it? It's embarrassing." Instead of shutting the rumors down, Grayson basked in the attention. "Jealousy is a career killer, Blair," my coworkers sneered, plastering my desk with sticky notes. I had paid half his mortgage and sacrificed my youth for his success, only to be thrown away for twenty minutes of cheap office applause. I stared at the word "embarrassing," my nails digging into my palm to keep the tears from falling. I took a deep breath and peeled the mocking sticky notes off my desk one by one, tucking them into my bag-they wanted to see me break, but I was going to walk out of this with my head held high. I signed my transfer papers to Denver, dialed the best defamation lawyer in Seattle, and prepared to tear down their perfect facade.”
