Part 3My Husband Cheated, And After His Car Accident, I Signed The DNR Right In Front Of Him

Once James left for work, I asked Sandra Davis, the HR manager, to send me a list of employee details.

The company had been downsizing lately; last month, they’d laid off a few people.

Most of the long-time employees had already jumped ship, leaving a bunch of fresh-out-of-college hires.

Aside from Sandra, I barely knew anyone at the company anymore.

The list included home addresses, and sure enough, there was a Lisa Woods listed as living at Sunset Apartments.

There was no way she could afford to rent that place on her salary.

I skimmed her file—out-of-town hire, attractive.

Whether her family had money? That wasn’t listed.

That afternoon, I picked up some coffee and headed to James’s office.

It’s not easy getting a divorce these days; you need solid evidence.

The house was a gift from my parents before the wedding, so it was under my name and Sophia’s.

I wasn’t concerned about the marital assets, but there was no way I’d let go of custody of my daughter.

“Anna’s here, and she brought coffee for everyone!”

James’s secretary had already been waiting downstairs for me.

James hurried out to meet me too, and for a second, I saw something strange in his eyes.

Was it disgust? Or maybe… jealousy?

Lisa Woods was there too, shyly coming over to grab her coffee, then walking right up to me.

“Thanks, Anna. James always talks about how amazing you are.”

Then she flashed him a flirty smile.

It was the kind of smile I hadn’t been able to pull off since I was twenty.

The air grew tense for a few moments.

I smiled, taking her hand. “I haven’t been to the office in a while, so I don’t know any of the new faces.”

She opened her mouth to say something, but I cut her off.

“Focus on your work. I hope to see your name up there at the end of the year, and when I do, I’ll make sure to give you a nice bonus.”

Sandra Davis quickly jumped in, “You hear that, everyone? Anna just promised us all a great bonus! Better thank the boss!”

I smiled at her.

In this company, only a few people knew who really held the reins.
