A Fragrance Named Elias, My Exit

On our tenth anniversary, the Sterling Group launched its new flagship fragrance.

My wife, Vanessa Sterling, announced to the crowd that the perfume would be named "Elias."

Minutes later, her secretary, Elias, posted on his Instagram story: "Best birthday gift ever. Thank you, Vanessa! I'm so touched!"

Vanessa commented below his post: "May you stay eighteen forever, handsome and free."

I didn't call her in a frenzy to demand answers like I used to. Instead, I calmly put my phone down.
