The CEO Replaced Me With His Secretary, Then Lost Everything

At the company gala, I pulled the grand prize at the exact same moment as my boyfriend's secretary, Tania Fox.

Neal Gilbert strode onto the stage, all smiles, claiming the system had glitched. He handed us two identical gift boxes, announcing that whoever got the real prize would be down to pure luck.

I opened mine. Two ceramic tiles.

Tania opened hers. The brand-new iPhone 17 Pro Max.

But everyone in that room saw it clearly—the split second he handed over the boxes, he'd slipped the one with the phone right into Tania's waiting hands.
