My Boyfriend Mocked Me for Becoming a Cleaner at His Company but He Soon Regretted It — Story of the Day

After losing my job and my supportive grandmother, I took a janitor position at my boyfriend Adam’s company. He mocked me, calling it humiliating, unaware of my secret plan. Struggling with grief and Adam’s increasing distance, I suspected he was cheating with his new director, Sandra. Despite his insults, I worked diligently, keeping my eyes on them. One evening, I caught them kissing in Sandra’s office. When confronted, Adam callously ended our relationship, embarrassed by my job. I revealed the apartment lease was in my name and kicked him out.
The next day, my grandmother’s lawyer called—she’d left me her house, apartment, assets, and her company, where Adam worked. Dressed in a sharp suit, I entered Sandra’s office, revealing my ownership. Shocked, Sandra and Adam panicked. I fired Sandra and demoted Adam, offering him a janitor role. He reluctantly accepted after begging. Placing a photo of my grandmother on the desk, I vowed to lead with kindness but never tolerate disrespect again. Adam would learn his lesson, and I’d ensure no one looked down on me again.
