Million-Dollar Deal? He Only Saw the Ticket

I pay out of pocket for a first-class plane ticket to get a head start in locking down a multi-million-dollar deal ahead of our competition.But after returning to the company with a signed contract, I see a dismissal notice in the company's group chat."Willow Lacroix has violated the company's cost control regulations, causing an adverse impact. She is hereby terminated, effective immediately."I storm into the president's office, only for Ashley Zimmerman, the new assistant, to brazenly get in my way."It's company policy. All business trips are strictly economy class only. You knew that and broke the rules anyway. Why should the company bend the rules for you?"My fiance, Chase Gibson, who is also the president, joins in. "As the head of your department, you set a terrible example by breaking the rules!"Later, through the gaps in the blinds, I see Ashley on her knees before Chase, who is holding her head down…I turn to make a call. "I'll bring in that multi-million-dollar renewable energy project as an investment. By the way, does your company restrict key executives from flying out to close a deal?"
