However, on the very next day, I was met with strange glances in the elevator as I walked into the office.
When I opened the office door, everyone’s conversation stopped cold.
"Mr. Lewinsky, the boss wants to see you."
My current boss’ assistant lowered his head, avoiding eye contact and gestured toward a nearby cubicle. At a glance, I saw it was filled with my personal belongings. The moment I walked into my boss’s office, he told me straight away.
"Anthony, the company has decided to terminate your employment contract. This is your compensation."
"Why? We agreed that once I handed off the current projects, I’d transfer to the Boston branch as head!"
He pulled out his phone and flipped it toward me.
"Your personal matter has affected the company’s image. It’s gone viral. Take a look."
The trending topic was all about me, cheating on my wife and kicking her out of the house. The words ‘A Huge Piece of Shit’ blazed in bold across the headlines. Clicking on one of the videos, I could see the very scene from the room at the hotel the day before.
