Once I broke free from that suffocating marriage, my efficiency was off the charts.
In less than two weeks, I launched my own consulting agency. Leveraging my industry connections and the core patents I took back, the business was instantly on the right track.
Desiring to scale up the team, I went to several elite universities for recruitment, where I ultimately set my sights on a senior undergraduate named Gabriel Knight. Not only did he boast the top academic performance in his major, but he was also practical and exceptionally logical. Most importantly, there was a relentless, unyielding grit deep within his bones.
I hired him as my personal assistant and put him entirely in charge of executing our new projects.
