“Do you really think this is appropriate after the embarrassment you caused yesterday?”
I looked at her.
“Yesterday?”
She nodded.
“You walked off a plane in front of the entire executive team.”
“I remember.”
“You humiliated Aaron.”
I smiled.
“No.”
I placed a black folder on the table.
“I haven’t humiliated Aaron yet.”
The room became silent.
Aaron’s expression changed.
“What is that?”
“You’ll find out.”
He reached for it.
I put my hand over the folder.
“Not yet.”
His eyes narrowed.
“Alyssa, don’t play games.”
I leaned back.
“For four years, Aaron, I did exactly what you wanted.”
I looked around the room.
“I stayed quiet. I let you take credit. I let people call me spoiled. I let your executives laugh behind my back because they thought I was nothing more than a rich man’s wife.”
My voice remained calm.
“I did all of that because I loved you.”
