At the company's IPO press conference, my husband, Chris Morgan, looked at his female secretary more than once.
I turned around and left and made an appointment for an abortion.
At the same time, I asked my lawyer to draft a divorce agreement.
Chris received the email and called me to question me, his tone was angry.
"What a joke, just because I looked at Linda more than once?"
"Yes, it's because you looked at her." I replied shortly.
——
The live broadcast of the press conference on the screen continued.
Chris took the microphone from Linda Portland with a smile and continued with her opening remarks.
"Thanks to me as a secretary, all the big and small projects of the company have passed through her hands in the past ten years. I have seen how hard she has worked over the years."
"Taking advantage of today's opportunity, everyone is here, I announce that I will transfer 20% of my shares to Linda Portland. From now on, we are not only superiors and subordinates, but also partners. I hope she will continue to work hard in the future."
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar at the scene.
Then, thunderous applause.
The blessing made Linda cry and Chris smiled then handed her a tissue.
Just one glance, Chris's eyes made me sure that this man no longer belonged to me.
He easily wiped out my ten years of hard work with two sentences.
He put the credit that belonged to me on another woman's head.
He was unkind first, so I was unjust and had no burden.
I took out my mobile phone and made an appointment for an abortion.
Then, I dialed the number that I knew by heart.
"Does the cooperation you talked about last time still count? I want to join. There is only one condition, the company's management rights must be in my hands and I hold 50% of the shares."
The other party agreed immediately, with a joking tone.
"Miss Lincoln, have you figured it out? Shares are easy to talk about. As long as I can invite you, this great Buddha, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"But I'm really curious. When you graduated, you said you didn't want to work with me at all. I've been waiting for you for ten years. Why did you suddenly change your nature today?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You talk too much nonsense."
I rolled my eyes, took the keys and drove out, heading straight to the hospital.
After the operation, I took a taxi back home.
I walked in with Chris. He saw the shirts I wore yesterday still piled on the sofa and frowned.
"Why didn't you wash the clothes?"
Turning to look at the dining table, his face darkened.
"You didn't cook either. Are you feeling unwell today?"
I covered my stomach, the pain made me not want to talk, I just looked down at my phone.
A simple shake of the head was a response.
Chris handed me a packaging box and ordered neatly, "Then do it now. Make one more portion today. I'll take it to the company. The press conference just ended and I have to work overtime tonight."
He continued after a pause, "Linda come with me. I can't let the employees work hungry."
In the past, I would take the initiative to help him with all the housework without him asking.
During the day, I was the marketing manager and worked hard with him in the business world.
At night, I was a housewife, I had to wash and cook for him and serve his temper.
Ten years have passed like this.
But now, I felt it was boring.
After he finished speaking, I just sneered and didn't move.
"Sorry, I can't do it. Besides, didn't you eat outside? I'm not just talking about food."
Chris's calm face suddenly darkened.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been busy all day, do I have to see your cold face when I come back at night? Do I owe you?"
"Knowing that today is our wedding anniversary, didn't I bring you a gift? Can you stop being so sarcastic? When will you understand my difficulties?"
