My husband\u2019s secretary sl3pped me in front of twenty employees for accidentally drinking from his coffee cup.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Then she screamed, \u201cHow dare you touch my husband\u2019s things?\u201d She had no idea I was his real wife\u2014or that I owned 64% of the company.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The sound of the slap echoed through the executive dining room, bringing nearly every conversation to an abrupt stop.<\/p>\n

I stood beside the table, holding a white porcelain coffee cup, while a sharp sting spread across my cheek.<\/p>\n

Celeste Price, the CEO\u2019s secretary, stood directly in front of me, glaring as though I\u2019d committed an unforgivable offense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho do you think you are?\u201d she shouted. \u201cThat\u2019s my husband\u2019s cup!\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I picked it up by mistake. The cups look identical.\u201d<\/p>\n

She gave a contemptuous laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen like you always have an excuse! You think you can touch whatever you want?\u201d<\/p>\n

I was still trying to understand why she had called Julian her husband when the dining room doors opened.<\/p>\n

Julian Bennett walked inside.<\/p>\n

My husband.<\/p>\n

The man I\u2019d been married to for seven years.<\/p>\n

His eyes moved from the cup in my hand to the red mark on my cheek, then to Celeste standing inches away from me.<\/p>\n

For one brief moment, his expression changed.<\/p>\n

He looked frightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaya?\u201d<\/p>\n

Celeste immediately turned toward him.<\/p>\n

\u201cDarling, thank goodness you\u2019re here! This new employee drank from your personal cup. I was just making sure she understood how inappropriate that was.\u201d<\/p>\n

I waited for Julian to correct her.<\/p>\n

Surely he would explain that I was his wife.<\/p>\n

Surely he would ask why his secretary had raised her hand against another employee.<\/p>\n

But instead, he adjusted his tie and spoke in a cold voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cCeleste, return to your office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he looked directly at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you. Come with me. Now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dining room fell completely silent.<\/p>\n

Celeste smiled.<\/p>\n

She thought he\u2019d chosen her.<\/p>\n
