Forty, Flirty and Fired

Fired on my 42nd birthday… then I accidentally drenched my arch-nemesis in champagne. Talk about Ho-Ho-Horror 🎄

I crashed my old company’s gala for revenge (and maybe to forget my cheating ex-husband), but things took a shocking holiday turn when Alexander Drake—Seattle’s hottest billionaire tech CEO—hired me instead of having me arrested!

But there's one problem: my tweet calling him out is going viral...

And if Mr. Frosty-and-Fine ever finds out I’m the Christmas gremlin behind it, the only thing getting laid (off) this winter will be… me.

"You fired me. Today. On my birthday."

"Technically, the board fired you. I just had the pleasure of witnessing the aftermath." I reach for a napkin from a nearby waiter's tray, who looks like he can't decide whether to help or run away. "And I have to say, your exit strategies are... memorable."

Someone in the crowd actually laughs. Probably the same person who said "Oh snap!" earlier. I make a mental note to find them later and either fire them or give them a raise.

Mackenzie crosses her arms. "And what makes you think I'd want to work for the company that just gutted mine?"

"Because you care more about the developers than your pride." I meet her gaze, champagne be damned. "And because you know that changing things from the inside is more effective than throwing champagne from the outside. Though I have to admit, the champagne made quite a statement."

Her mouth twitches. Just slightly. But it's enough.
