In order to bet with the assistant, after the president's ex-girlfriend actively persuaded me to stay, I became the CEO of the company

After Breaking Up, I Resigned and Was Ready to Go Abroad. Then My Ex-Girlfriend, the CEO, Suddenly Tried to Win Me Back at the Airport.

She said she had fired her little assistant and that from now on, I would be the company's second-in-command.

But when I gave up going abroad and was ready to go back with her, she shook off my hand and made a flirtatious call to her assistant:

"Leo, you won the bet. This loser really thought I would take him back."

Then she turned to me with a cold smile:

"It was just a joke. Did you actually believe it? If you want to leave, go ahead. No one's stopping you this time."

The colleagues present laughed at me, saying I was like a dog that would come running back at her slightest gesture.

But what they didn't know was that I gave up going abroad only because my new company had just completed the acquisition. I was about to become their new CEO.

When Mia, my ex-girlfriend and former CEO, gleefully told me that her earlier attempt to win me back was just a joke, I didn't get angry.

I just took out my phone to call a cab back to my place.

The colleagues around us looked at me with mocking eyes, jeering:

"Jack, the CEO said she doesn't want to keep you. What are you still doing here? Go on, book another flight!"

"Didn't you say you got an offer from abroad? What happened? Did they change their mind about you?"

In the past, I would have definitely argued back, feeling hurt that my girlfriend, who was the CEO, wouldn't speak up for me.

But now I felt nothing, even thinking it was like watching clowns perform.

"My business is none of your concern, is it?" I said calmly.

Mia snorted, her eyes scanning me up and down with disgust:

"You're still being stubborn at a time like this?"

"With your meager abilities, if I hadn't been supporting you all these years, you might not even have food to eat!"

"Going abroad? What a joke."

Yes, I was a graduate from a prestigious university who had given up a high-paying job that others could only dream of.

I had helped her build a company from the ground up, but in Mia's eyes, I was worthless, only getting by with her help.

It made me want to laugh.

In the past, I loved Mia with all my heart. Even if I had remained in a managerial position after decades of hard work, I wouldn't have complained.

But it wasn't until she repeatedly took away my projects and gave them to her new assistant Leo without my consent.

She even pushed Leo's mistakes onto me, making me take the blame.

Then she used this as an excuse to cut my salary and suspend me, while giving Leo a promotion and a raise.

I finally woke up and realized that this relationship, maintained solely by my efforts, needed to end.

So I resigned on the spot, broke up with her, and decided to develop my career abroad.
