My Daddy Boss

Lenie went to the condominium of her boyfriend, Dexter, to surprise him for their first anniversary, even though Dexter had told her not to.

Since she knew the door password to Dexter's condo, she let herself in.

"Hi, baby! Surprise-" Lenie's words were cut short when she saw Dexter kissing another woman, Via.

Dexter immediately noticed Lenie and ran towards her.

"Baby, let me explain. It's not what you think. I was just blowing on Via's eye because something got in it. That's all," Dexter explained.

"And you think I'll believe that? Something got in her eye? Really? And that happened while she was naked?" Lenie tried to hold back her tears.

Via then approached them, looking smug as if proud of being caught. In that moment, Lenie wanted to pull her hair out but restrained herself to avoid creating a scene.

"What's wrong, Lenie? Does it hurt? Did you think you could have everything in the world? I'm sorry, but I already have the person you love most," Via taunted.

"Via, how could you do this to me? Is this because of the promotion I got instead of you? Did you seduce my boyfriend to get back at me?" Lenie asked, her voice shaking with tears.

"It's not just about that! There's a lot more, Lenie. If I could hurt you worse than this, I would. Don't worry, next time I'll make it even more painful for you," Via sneered.

Via's words pushed Lenie to her breaking point. She didn't care who could hear them anymore. She slapped Via, who slapped her back.

In her rage, Lenie grabbed Via's hair and dragged her out of Dexter's condo. Dexter tried to stop them, but Lenie was too furious to listen.

"Let go, Lenie! Stop this! I won't bother you and Dexter anymore!" Via screamed.

"No! This is what you want, right? I'll give you exactly what you deserve. I'm not as evil as you, but I know how to handle people like you," Lenie retorted.

"Lenie, stop this! If you want, we can get back together. Just please don't hurt Via!" Dexter begged.

Lenie continued dragging Via by the hair until they reached the elevator. When the doors opened, a crowd of people saw them. Some wanted to help Via, while others just gossiped.

"Hello, everyone! I just want to warn you about this woman! She stole my boyfriend! Go ahead, take pictures of her, because she might steal your boyfriends or husbands too!" Lenie announced.

The crowd obliged, with some even live-streaming the scene on social media. This left Dexter and Via humiliated. Dexter tried to chase after Lenie to apologize, but she left the building with her head held high.

A week later, Lenie met with her friend Alice. Heartbroken over Dexter, Lenie sought Alice's help to find a new job so she could move on. She needed a fresh start.

"You caught them kissing? Ugh, that guy's the worst! He made all those promises not to hurt you, and this is what he does? I trusted him too!" Alice fumed.

"That's why I'm here. I need your help finding a new job. I can't stand seeing them at work anymore. It makes me sick every time I bump into them!" Lenie replied, her sadness still evident.

"Of course, I'll help you. It's perfect timing-there's an opening at my office. And our boss is handsome too! A bit of a womanizer, though. Want me to submit your resume?" Alice teased, making Lenie smile for the first time in days.

"Come on, Alice. I'm looking for a job, not another headache. Good thing I brought my resume. Wait, let me grab it from my bag," Lenie said, pulling out her resume.

After giving Alice her resume, the two friends chatted some more. What Lenie didn't know was that Alice had a child and was planning to leave the baby in Lenie's care.

"By the way, where do you work again?" Lenie asked.

"Oh, at the Ramirez Group of Companies. The pay's great, but they only hire single women. You and Dexter didn't have any kids, right?" Alice clarified.

"Of course not! I don't have a child with that jerk. He's the worst!" Lenie replied, her voice filled with anger.

"Good. That means you'll definitely get hired at RGC. I'll let you know once I've submitted your resume, okay? I have to go now; I've got something to do," Alice said.

Before Alice left, Lenie thanked her. For the first time, she felt hopeful. Finally, she had a plan to move forward, and the pain in her heart seemed a little lighter.
