IT had just gotten everything back online when Dad called . He needed me to pull some sensitive marketing data . Said the files were needed for this afternoon's board meeting at our Manhattan headquarters , and I had to handle it personally - zero margin for error . I grabbed a USB drive , downloaded the data from the marketing director's computer , and headed to the copy room . I'd just finished printing everything and was organizing it with binder clips when the copy room door swung open . Wren bounced in with a bubble tea from the place downstairs . Hell , she immediately spotted the heavy - duty stapler next to me and her eyes lit up . " Ooh , lemme borrow that real quick - my Hot Cheetos bag totally ripped . " She reached over like it was hers . I instinctively pulled the confidential documents and stapler away from her grabby hands . These files contained seriously classified intel . She whiffed completely , stumbled forward from the momentum , and tripped over the printer cord . Her boba tea went airborne . The brown liquid sailed in a perfect arc and splashed all over my freshly printed documents . A thick stack of corporate secrets instantly turned into a soggy , illegible mess . Staring at the destroyed files , I couldn't keep playing observer anymore . I looked up and locked eyes with her . Yet she had zero guilt on her face - actually looked pissed that I hadn't shared the stapler . My voice was ice cold . " You gonna take responsibility for trashing these documents ? " Wren had probably never been called out by a company employee before . She blinked , confused . Then her face flushed red with anger . " Excuse me ? How dare you talk to me like that ? " " Do you have any idea who I am ? " She straightened up , acting all high and mighty : 10:26 Who Needs a Divorce Lawyer When You OWN the Company ? Honey , You Are FIRED ! 1.4 % Chapter 3 " I'm Jaxon's wife ! " Looking at her , I felt absolutely nothing - almost wanted to laugh . " Cool . " I replied flatly . " Does being Jaxon's wife give you license to destroy company property ? To completely ignore workplace policies ? " My pushback clearly threatened her little power trip . She lost her shit , pointing right in my face : " Um , yeah , it totally does ! " " This whole company belongs to Jaxon , which means it's mine ! I can do whatever the hell I want ! " Her voice went full Karen mode , all screechy and entitled . " Who even are you ? Some random new girl trying to school me ? " Other employees came running when they heard yelling . Seeing this confrontation , they looked terrified . A few admin assistants kept tugging at my sleeve , silently begging me to apologize and back down . I didn't budge . I just stared her down . When I wouldn't cave , Wren felt humiliated in front of everyone . She whipped out her phone with this smug , vindictive smile . " Okay , wanna act tough ? Think I can't handle some nobody ? " " I'm FaceTiming Jaxon right now to show you exactly who runs this place ! " She hit video call immediately . The call connected within seconds . She flipped the phone toward herself , ready to have her " husband " come to her rescue .
