After Being Laid Off, I Bankrupted My BossChapter 1
I just closed a deal worth ten million dollars.
My boss's mistress's brother parachuted in to become the vice president.
His first act in office was to fire me.
I handed the ten-million dollars deal to a competitor right away.
And I took all the clients with me.
The boss begged me to come back to work, tears in his eyes.
But he didn't know that all I wanted was to bankrupt him.

When HR notified me to come in for a talk, my heart sank, sensing trouble.
I heard that the company had laid off quite a few people recently.
But I never thought it would come to me.
The HR, Annie Halls, spoke in a strictly official tone. "This conversation involves company secrets, and no recording is allowed. Please hand over your phone."
I placed my phone on the desk.
Annie glanced at me and rattled off a bunch.
In short, I was fired and instructed to hand over my client resources and pack up my things.
I took a deep breath and asked, "Does Arthur know about this?"
Arthur Hastings, my boss, had supposedly gone on a business trip, but in reality, he had whisked his mistress, Selina Lewis, away for an overseas vacation.
