Chapter 60Isabelle left the meeting room and went to occupy her new office which was on the last floor. All through the way to the last floor, she was hoping she would not bump into Violet because she was not ready to see her at that point. Most importantly she hoped she won't find violet in the office as the new office she was going to occupy was formerly occupied by violet. When she got to the front of the office door she saw it was left slightly open and then she pushed the door wider so she could have a view of the interior.She was surprised at the scene that met her. Violet sat on a couch in the office with bloodshot eyes and a red puffy face. She looked like she had just sobbed the living daylights out of herself. Isabelle did not know how to console her without looking like a bad person. But she decided to try. Just as she took a step towards her, Violet stood up, grabbed her things and walked out of the office without even sparing Isabelle a glance.If Isabelle felt bad b
Chapter 61Violet locates her new office, two floors below her previous office and she felt so sad because the demotion was evident even in the size of the office and the equipment in the office. Master Wilson had demoted her to the extent that she was even in a way lower position than most people in the company.She was offered this position because that was the only free space left in the company and she did not really have a choice. Getting a new job would not be easy so she just had to make do with this one.If she had a choice, she would not have accepted the offer. As she arranged her office documents on the black wooden desk in front of the office chair, she had a flashback to when Isabelle walked into her former office. She knew Master Wilson's grandchild was the one that requested for this position. She couldn't help but feel bitter because if Isabelle had not come back, she wouldn't have lost her position in the company. Her heart filled with hatred for Isabelle and she k
Chapter 62 As soon as Miranda stormed out of master Wilson's office, she made it her next mission to locate where Violet's new office was. She knew it would definitely be on a floor lower than the previous one but she was not sure of the exact office.She asked around and soon enough she was shown to the office. She knocked on the door before making her way inside.She was surprised at the interior, it looked so inferior. Miranda never knew there were inferior looking offices in Wilson's family company. Violet was startled when she saw who it was that entered. Miranda and Violet had never been on good terms so she had her guard up when she saw it was Miranda that walked in.“What can I help you with?” She asked. Dropping all what she was doing and facing Miranda. Miranda raised her hands, “chill with the hostility. I am not here for trouble. I just have something to say that might be of interest to you as much as it is to me” Violet raised her brows, “perhaps I should offer you a
Chapter 63Isabelle had already closed for the day and was packing her things, getting ready to go home, when she got a call from Sebastien. She picked it up immediately.“Hello!” She cheerfully greeted a small smile forming on her face and forgetting her tiredness for a moment.“Hi princess. Have you closed for the day?” He asked with so much concern as it was already getting late. “Yes, I have. I am just tidying up some things now. I will be home very soon” Isabelle said, rounding up the arrangement of the documents that were formerly scattered on the table.“Alright baby. Call me when you are ready so I can come pick you up.” Sebastien added thoughtfully, he guessed she must really be tired and would not want her to go through the stress of public transport. “You know, I am actually really fine and you don't have to bother yourself with coming to pick me up” Isabelle chuckled, while wiping beads of sweat off her face with a handkerchief. She stared at the ac in the corner of the
Chapter 64The next day, Isabelle got a call from her mother. Her mother called to find out how her first day at work went the previous day and Isabelle told her it went well and she explained all the details to her mother.She even told her mother that the position master Wilson offered her was initially occupied by someone else and she felt bad that she might have offended the person that was previously in that position because the person got demoted.Her mother also then offered the same suggestion that she should try talking to the person and explaining what really happened. Master Wilson was always causing unnecessary drama in her daughter's life. *******************Violet sat in front of her dressing mirror as she was getting ready for work that morning and thought about the events of the previous day. How she was demoted in front of the entire board members to how she was moved to a smaller office and finally to the most shocking thing. Miranda actually coming to meet her to
Chapter 65After all Isabelle had to say Violet just responded with a small nod and an alright. Violet had a neutral expression the whole while Isabelle was explaining so Isabelle found it hard to decipher what was going on in her head or how she really felt about the whole thing.Isabelle made her way back to her office and sat on her large and comfortable office chair. She sighed, because she had already tried her best but the response she got from Violet was not convincing enough.She brought out her mobile phone and dialed Sebastien's number, and he picked up on the first ring. “Hi princess” he greeted cheerfully. “Hi baby. I already spoke to Violet” Isabelle said, going straight to the point. “Wonderful. And how did that go?” Sebastien asked, wanting to know the details of how the whole thing went.“Well, I can't really say because I could not tell how she took the whole thing. Her entire expression was neutral but I explained everything to her” Isabelle told Sebastien “And s
Chapter 66Isabelle was still getting into the day's work when she heard a knock on her door and she was expecting someone so she just told the person knocking to come in without looking at the camera to check who was there. So she was so surprised when Miranda walked into the office. Miranda was the last person she was expecting. She hoped she was not here to cause trouble because almost all the times Miranda was associated with something that involved her it always ended up causing her troubles for her.She stared at Miranda who strode confidently towards her and took a seat on one of the office chairs.“Good day, Isabelle!” Miranda greeted cheerfully. Isabelle was taken aback by that single act. Miranda was friendlier than she normally was on a normal day. Isabelle couldn't hide her surprise and just said, “Good day” Miranda saw the surprise in her eyes, she expected Isabelle to be surprised though because she knew Isabelle knew she did not like her.Miranda grinned from ear to
Chapter 67For some reasons, Isabelle left office that day with some burden lifted off her shoulder. For starters, she was able to speak with Violet and though she didn't know what to conclude upon, she felt she didn't get a negative reaction from Violet.She stared at the road through the window of the cab she boarded. Everybody was busy with one thing or the other. The world is indeed a very busy place she thought to herself. The ride in the cab was pretty smooth and enjoyable and she ran her fingers across the fancy envelope wondering what really must have prompted Miranda to invite them to her party. She started having flashbacks of all the times Miranda assaulted her of all the times Miranda talked down on her and on her marriage. And the fact that Miranda made it so visible that she hated Sebastien, she did not even make an attempt to hide itShe finally got to the front of her house and got down from the cab. She still found it hard to believe sometimes that this large mansio
