The Day I Stopped Loving My CEO Husband
Chapter 6
“What did you just say?”
“All products go through strict inspections before launch. How could there be a problem at such a critical time? Where’s the PR department? Why are we only finding out after consumers have gathered outside the building to protest?”
“You’re all useless! I don’t pay you to sit around doing nothing. Fix this immediately!”
The assistant flinched, breaking into a cold sweat.
“Mr. Murphy, it’s not that we’re unwilling to fix it. But now the product design plans have leaked online and public opinion is spiraling out of control. We suspect there’s a mole inside the company. You need to come back and take charge immediately.”
The product had only just launched. If a scandal broke out now, all their efforts from the past five years would go to waste.
Daniel’s temple veins bulged as he fought to contain his fury.
“It’ll take me at least thirty minutes to get back. Have Kayla hold a press conference to clarify the situation. She led this project—she can handle it.”
“What?” The assistant hesitated, then asked cautiously, “But Manager Moore resigned this morning. She’s no longer with the company. Didn’t you approve it?”
It was like someone had poured a bucket of ice water over him. Daniel froze.
“What did you say? She really left?”
I had been by his side since the company was founded. Every time there was a crisis, I was the first to step up and handle it, never letting him worry—even when he was away on business.
Now, he was consumed with both rage that I had dared to walk away and a sudden, sharp panic.
I had always prioritized the company. At such a crucial point in the product launch, he never expected I would leave so decisively.
“Yes,” the assistant continued. “Right after you left with Secretary Brooks, Manager Moore submitted her resignation letter and walked out. When she left—”
Daniel’s heart skipped a beat. His voice snapped with urgency.
“What else? Speak!”
“Colleagues said Manager Moore was crying when she left. And no one knows why she left her wedding ring on her desk...”
