I don't know what pillow talk she whispered to Arthur, but his attitude towards me started to change. He began to create obstacles for me at work.
It wasn't until Selina first planted her people under my wing and then brought Billy in as vice president that I finally understood.
Selina's ambition was far greater than I had imagined.
She didn't just want to get rid of me, her supposed rival.
She was after Arthur's entire fortune.
But he was deeply infatuated, and I had no reason to interfere in someone else's personal affairs.
Arthur had shown me appreciation and mentorship, and I was focused on my career and making money. I valued my reputation and never accepted bribes or abused my position for personal gain.
You could say I was occupying a lucrative position without taking advantage of it, blocking others from profiting.
So, under Selina's manipulation, Arthur used a business trip as an excuse to take her on a vacation, leaving Billy to fire me.
I didn't want to waste time arguing with them.
I had just secured a significant deal that morning worth over ten million dollars.
The commission on this deal was substantial.
