Making the Cut Was Just the Beginning

In his past life, Frank Lawson missed an important interview because of his girlfriend, Joan Tucker. She, however, mercilessly humiliated him and dumped him. Upon getting a second chance at life, he enters the interview as a last-minute candidate and is hired with a record-high score. At work, he outmaneuvers a hostile supervisor and earns the trust of the new CEO, which helps him climb the corporate ladder in a flash. When Joan learns about this, she regrets what she did.
