So Cain/Cummings leaked Cain would be Chief of Staff and that his partner was against it so that if he wasn't appointed it would look like Johnson is making decisions based on the orders of his wife!
Also, if true, how nasty is Cummings? Johnson spent a lot of political capital keeping Cummings in the post after his little drive and he does this to him.

That is probably the situation but the FT article suggests Carrie Symonds was genuinely against Cain becoming Chief of Staff.
"Mr Johnson showed the aides text messages that had been forwarded to
Ms Symonds, who opposed Mr Cain’s appointment as chief of staff, to show they had briefed against her."
