I was the company driver. My wife was the CEO’s executive assistant. The morning he humiliated her in front of the entire office, we both lost our jobs. That evening, I rang his front doorbell—not to threaten him, but to tell someone the truth he had hidden for years

And convinced the entire company revolved around him.

People respected him.

Few actually liked him.

Still, Alice stayed because she loved the work.

She believed loyalty mattered.

I kept telling her loyalty only works when both sides have it.

She always smiled.

« He’s difficult, » she’d say, « but he’s fair. »

I wanted to believe her.

I really did.
