Chapter 12

I’ve left a mess back home. So far I’ve managed to keep a lid on it, but it’s only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down—job, marriage, reputation.

Everything I’ve worked for, that I’ve built.

No one warns you how it’s all so interconnected.

Like dominoes. One goes and there goes the whole damn thing.

I should have known the second they sent the “corporate coach,” a cleaned-up name for a therapist. It’s a big thing everywhere these days. You know your days are numbered when the coach turns up at your office door.

If I do get pushed out, that’ll be a wrap on the marriage, too. She’s not going to stay if I get fired. She cares too much about what people think.

So maybe it’s not the worst thing that I’m here on the other side of the world without a signal. Maybe I’ll come up with a way out of this disaster.
