I got an Internal Investigation Notice this morning.
Subject: Julian Hayes — VP of Strategy.
The man who's been my boss for four years.
And my boyfriend for three.
The notice says he authorized a $2.3M payment
to a vendor that doesn't exist.
I pulled the files.
The invoices were approved from his login.
Every single one — while I was on vacation.
The woman cc'd on all the internal memos?
Victoria Chen.
The one he told me was "just a colleague."
I thought I was his partner.
Turns out I was just convenient.
