Ex-Wife Moving Wife Giving Birth? Congratulations, You’re Single Now novel Chapter 58

Chapter 1

During the executive meeting, my fiancé’s new secretary threw entire cup of coffee right in my face–in front of everyone.

“You’re just some lazy–ass slacker sitting in your office playing games all day, and you have the nerve to question MY proposal?”

“Serena Winters, you’re fired! Get lost!”

I stood up slowly, wiped the coffee off my face, and looked straight at my fiancé, Dominic Kane.

He frowned and looked away, saying nothing.

I smiled and pulled out my phone.

“Dad, did you hear that?”

“They just told me to get lost.”

Monday morning, I was deep into my game when someone knocked on my office door.

“Ms. Winters, Elaine just sent word–all managers need to be in the main conference room in ten minutes.”

Jenny from admin stood in the doorway, practically breathless.

I didn’t even look up, my fingers flying across the keyboard.

“Not going. I’m busy.”

In the six months I’d been at this company, I’d never attended a single meeting

Not because I wasn’t supposed to—I just didn’t feel like it.

“But…” Jenny’s voice wavered. “Elaine specifically said no one can skip today. She said it’s Mr. Kane’s direct order.”

My fingers froze. My character instantly got obliterated by the boss.

As the screen went gray, I cursed under my breath and slammed my laptop shut.

When I walked into the conference room, it was already packed.

Several people shot me weird looks and immediately started whispering.

“Wait, Winters is actually here?”

“Doesn’t she never come to meetings?”

Chapter 1

“Who knows? Probably Elaine forced her to show up.”

“Elaine’s been on her case–can’t wait to see this play out.”

I ignored the gossip, found a seat in the back corner, and pulled out my phone to continue my game.

A full thirty minutes later, Dominic Kane and Elaine Shaw finally strolled in.

Elaine was carrying a stack of files, looking incredibly pleased with herself.

“Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here today.”

Dominic scanned the room. His eyes landed on me for maybe half a second before moving on.

“Elaine has an important proposal to present.”

Elaine cleared her throat and launched into her “revolutionary” marketing plan.

I half–listened while gaming on my phone. The more I heard, the more absurd it sounded.

Not only was the budget insanely high, but it completely missed our company’s market positioning.

“So I believe we should immediately invest eighty million dollars to dominate the luxury

Elaine concluded with dramatic enthusiasm.

ithin three months!”

Scattered, half–hearted applause filled the room.

I couldn’t take it anymore. Without even looking up, I said, “Eighty million for a bunch of useless exposure? You might as well throw the cash off the roof–at least THAT’D make headlines and actually get us some damn attention.”

The room went dead silent.

Dominic’s brow furrowed.

“What did you just say?” Elaine’s voice shot up an octave.

I finally looked up, speaking slowly and deliberately.

“I said your proposal is full of holes.”

“First, your target demographic is completely off.”
