The Divine Coin Toss She Fired Me, So I Made Her Empire CrumbleChapter 1

After the New Year break, I went to the Patron Saint's Shrine to pray for good fortune before heading back to work. On a whim, I cast the oracle cups—and all six landed sacred side up.

The entire temple went silent.

The boss gave me a red envelope with eighty-eight hundred dollars on the spot and told me to serve as the company's full-time fortune seeker from now on.

But my boyfriend—Dean Cooley, a hotshot director who'd been parachuted in fresh from his Ivy League degrees—sneered at the whole thing. Right there in front of everyone, he grabbed my Incense Altar and smashed it on the ground.

"We live in a modern society. The fact that this company pays a charlatan like you is an embarrassment!" He straightened his cuffs. "Effective immediately, you're fired."

I looked at him—at the faint dark line of misfortune creeping across his forehead—and smiled. "Fine. As long as Ms. Delgado has no objections, I'll leave right now."

Beverly Delgado had her arm looped through Dean's. She didn't even look at me. "Vincent Sullivan, superstition really isn't a good look. You should find opportunities elsewhere."
