Frank looked at me, puzzled. "Cynthia, why do I feel like you've changed since your marriage? Tell me the truth. Has John mistreated you?"
I hadn't changed because of marriage, but I had been reborn. "Don't worry, Grandpa. No one can mistreat me since I have your back."
That night, I told John that Frank agreed to let him join the company, but he had to start from the bottom. Though dissatisfied, he had no choice. I comforted him, promising to help him plead his case once he made some achievements.
The next day, I introduced John to the sales department as my husband, emphasizing the joint efforts and asking for their guidance. I gave John enough respect. Then I instructed Justin to tell the sales department manager not to give John any special treatment. Instead, I asked the manager to hold back on John's orders. I wanted John to achieve nothing in the sales department.
As expected, after a month in the sales department without any sales, John grew anxious. He claimed he wasn't suited for sales and wanted to switch departments. Over the next six months, he changed departments around six times but still accomplished nothing.
