Your Ex-Wife Brags About Her Fiancé's Promotion... She Didn't Know You Were His Boss

In this fictional POV story, your ex-wife tells a table at your 25-year class reunion that her fiancé is about to be made president of Fairlane Markets, and that the board will sign anything. There are seven people on that board, and you are one of them. Then she says which stores he plans to close, and the one in your hometown is on the list. You can't confirm it, because a director doesn't talk about board business. So you say nothing, and a woman with nineteen years at the bakery counter takes your silence for an answer. You already know the page behind that list is wrong. Now you have to decide who hears it first: the chairman, the room on Thursday, or the man who is marrying your ex-wife.

On paper the Harlow store lost $212,000. Stopping there really costs about $38,000 a year, so it made $46,000. Your stake is 14% of the company, about $31 million on paper. These are invented figures for this story. Background: A company can split a shared cost such as trucking evenly across its stores, which can make a store near the warehouse look worse than it is. A director with a personal interest in a board vote says so and sits the vote out. This is a plain-language summary.
