At the company dinner, the new intern suddenly stood up and confessed to my husband in front of everyone. We'd been secretly married for three years. She didn't spare a thought for me, the underground girlfriend who had hidden it from everyone for five years. For five years on the job, Burton Sanchez said we had to avoid the appearance of favoritism. He wouldn't even say more than a few words to me. Now, without a shred of that caution, he pulled the intern into his arms. When the dinner ended, he was the one who took the drunk, staggering intern home, half-carrying her the whole way. An hour later, a message came through explaining himself. "The girl's sensitive. Getting turned down in front of everyone would have humiliated her." "She threw up all over herself after I got her home. I'll be back later. Be good." But Burton never came home that night. The next day, the intern was promoted three levels and became my direct superior. I handed in my resignation on the spot. Burton brushed it off and pushed it right back at me. "Promoting Genevieve Harding was a decision the board made together. Don't read into it." "You've been number one in sales for five years, that's true. But to avoid any appearance of favoritism, I can't say much." I looked at him quietly, and it struck me as absurd. He was the one who recruited me back then, promising that once the appearance-of-favoritism period passed, he'd promote me on my own merit. And now he was the one keeping me, the top performer year after year, stepping aside to make room for an intern. Maybe because I didn't make the scene he'd expected, something like surprise flickered across that cool, aloof face of his. "Be good. I'll push for your promotion next time." He didn't know there wouldn't be a next time. I forced the tears back down, said nothing, and turned back to my desk. I sent a message straight to the chairman of Sanchez Group's largest supplier. "I accept the offer. That Sanchez Group project—give it to me to handle."
