Chapter 1

My dad wanted to test my wife's work ethic, so he arranged for me to conduct a surprise inspection of the company she managed.

I figured it would just be a formality.

But the moment I walked in, I saw a young, baby-faced college student staring blankly at a paper shredder.

"Wow, this machine is so cool!"

He picked up a contract from a nearby desk, looking ready to feed it in.

A colleague next to him gasped, his face draining of color, and quickly stopped him:

"Oh my god, Leo, what are you doing? Weren't you playing games in the office? Why are you out here?"

The guy just grinned.

"Heh heh, just a little thirsty."

No sooner had he said it than his hand, holding a cup, wobbled. The entire cup of water accidentally splashed onto the main power switch.

The whole company plunged into darkness, and the office erupted in cries of despair.

I grabbed a young intern nearby and asked him who on earth hired this idiot.

The intern immediately made a shushing gesture.

"Keep it down, man. He's, like, Ms. Hayes's partner. Rumor has it, this whole company actually belongs to *him*."

"Are you new here? You'll get used to it in a few days. He usually just plays games in Ms. Hayes's office and doesn't bother us much."

My head started to throb.

He's Ms. Hayes's partner? Then what in the world am *I*?

I pulled out my phone and called my dad.

"Dad, no need for the inspection. Tell Ellie to come to the office with the divorce papers."
