After Winning a Billion-Dollar Deal, My Fiancée's Assistant Fired Me

The company wanted to partner with a business tycoon, and word went out that whoever landed the deal would take the vice president's chair. To make my fiancée see me differently, to stop her looking at me with such coldness, I closed the deal. Everyone in the company assumed I'd walk away with the VP position. Instead, my name showed up on the layoff list. As the assistant read off the names on the layoff list, he mocked me, his voice dripping with contempt.
