That was when it dawned on Jeffrey–after five years of seeing Rebecca as the sweet, dependent wife who always clung to him at home, he was surprised to discover she had a powerful, take–charge side too. At home, she could be gentle and considerate, but in the business world, she was a young CEO who totally owned the
