It was a few months after Kate had sold her company and given a quarter of the money to her mother and a quarter to her lazy younger brother.The money she had in her account before selling the company and the one she had after selling the company was almost finished. She tried to start a new business that her money can contain, but she couldn't as she keeps getting discouraged because it would be tough to start a new business with a small amount. There's no one to help her at the moment. Her first business boomed up within three years because Aidan was secretly helping her. However, Kate thought of selling her car and Felix's car to get enough money to still start up a new business even though the idea came late, but she couldn't.It was as if it was planned by a closed enemy. During the week she was planning on selling the two cars even though Felix wasn't happy with it, the cars got stolen on the same day.Kate's hope was lost after the cars were stolen. That was the only thing sh
“Madam, you can go in now. He said you should come to his office,” Lily announced to Kate.“Thank you,” Kate appreciated before picking up her CV and gesturing towards the elevator.She pressed the number five on the elevator keys. Kate got into the elevator and the door got closed. Within minutes, the elevator started moving.After a few minutes of riding, she arrived at the fifth floor where Aidan's office was located.Stepping out of the elevator, she majestically walked to the CEO's office.Kate took in a deep breath and sighed heavily as she stood before Aidan's office. She firmly held her CV files tightly with her left hand and fearfully pressed the alarm button and it rang inside.“You can come in, please.” Aidan's voice echoed from inside, which made Kate tremble.Kate stayed back for a few seconds to calm herself down before entering the office. When she regained her strength, she finally held the doorknob and slowly twisted it until it opened.Immediately Kate stepped into th
Kate averted her gaze to Sharon who was glaring at her with complete hatred written all over Sharon's face.Kate grinned before giving a deadly glare to Aidan who had been quiet for a while. Seeing that Aidan isn't saying anything, Kate stood up to leave the office. Aidan was the one to give that order but he didn't. Sharon went ahead and chased her out of the office, yet Aidan didn't say a word as though Sharon was speaking his mind.Immediately Kate was about to hold the doorknob and open it, she finally stopped in her tracks after hearing Aidan's voice.“Stop!” That was what he said.Sharon got furious after Aidan stopped Kate from moving out. “Huh? What are you trying to do, Aidan? Do you have any job for her?” Sharon was startled by this.“Yes, I do have a job for her,” he announced and Sharon's eyes widened in perplexity.“Come and have your seat, please,” he said to Kate and she happily walked up to her previous seat and sat down.“You see,” Aidan started.“ You are lucky to co
Kate lightly knocked at the manager's office and waited for a response. She was so excited to secure this job.What if she didn't come on time? Or maybe pride would have taken over her and decided not to come seeking employment. She might regret it in the future.However, she never expected everything to happen the way it happened earlier, although Sharon wanted to be a barrier but she didn't succeed.“Who is at the door, please?” Mr. Donald's voice echoed from the office.“It's Miss Kate, sir,” Kate responded with a happy tone.“Miss Kate?” he muttered after her words.“ What has she come here to do again? Wasn't she chased away by the young master?” Mr. Donald questioned himself.“Please come in,” he permitted and Kate opened the door and went in with continued smiles.“Hey, Miss Kate, nice to see you again,” said Mr. Donald as he stood up and extended a handshake to her.“Thank you,” she muttered and took his hand in exchange.“Please have a seat.”They sat down facing each other. Im
Kate broke the news to her Mom and she was so excited about it. Mrs. Emily knew Aidan would forgive her daughter after a short period and it happened that way.Although it appears to be a shameful thing that she was once a CEO and is now an employee in Aidan's company. Isn't that enough to hide her face from the world? But no, she wasn't going to let shame take control over her.Now that she has gotten the job, she needs to start a new plan on how to save a lot of money and start a new business hereafter. ~~~Now, it was a brand new day and the first day to resume her new work.Kate's annoying alarm clock rang beside her bed and she jerked up and furiously slammed the buzzer. She couldn't sleep throughout the previous night because of happiness, wondering how her first day in her new job would be.Unfortunately, when it was almost morning, sleep came and snatched her away, and now the alarm was informing her that it was time to prepare for the office.It's so annoying!Kate hissed a
“Good morning, Aidan… I'm sorry I mean, boss,” Kate stammered as she bowed to greet Aidan.Aidan didn't bother to react because he knew that she was yet to adjust to her new job and accept him as her boss and not her husband.“Good morning, Miss Kate, and how was your night?” he responded with a soft tone as though he was talking to a little child.Kate swallowed hard and nodded.“ I-It was great, sir.” his gaze was still fixed on the ground as she spoke to him.“Good,” he muttered and walked to his seat, and sat down without saying more words to her.Immediately he sat down, Aidan pressed a button from his office table and the table that looked empty earlier was suddenly occupied by office files and a laptop.Kate saw that and she was amazed. How did that come about?Almost everything in Aidan's office was customized and specially made for his personal use only.Only he knows how to operate everything in his office. Although he taught Anna, his former secretary, how to operate some, no
Kate slowly turned around and faced Aidan as she nervously played with her finger, feeling unsettled.“Y-yes sir,” she said calmly.“Please, expect me any moment from now because I need to introduce you to every other worker. They need to know you and your position in this company,” he explained and she nodded.“Okay, sir.”“You can go now,” he ordered and smiled faintly before leaving the office with her bag hanging in her hand.Sighed… Kate was finally relieved that she had left the office at last. Only God knows how eager she was to leave that suffocating office.Yes, it was suffocating not because there was no air conditioner, but because she was unsettled.Thankfully, her office was on the same floor as Aidan's office. It took her only a few steps to get to her office.She took out the office key that was given to her by Mr. Donald the previous day. Kate opened the door and went into the office.Immediately she stepped into the office, she was shocked by what her eyes saw. How ca
“I greet you all, my employees,” Aidan's words woke up Kate from her deep thoughts.“ You are all welcome to another meeting of the Fredericks' interior design company. As we all know, this will be the first meeting of me being present after three years,” he said, moving his gaze from one person to another.“I must apologize for being away for a couple of years now, due to reasons best known to me.” As soon as he said that, the thought of her marriage with Aidan flashed through Kate's mind, but she wasn't going to let that distract her from listening to what he had to say.“ I appreciate you all for your hard work despite my absence. Because of you, we are where we are today. I urge you all to continue with this hard work for the growth of yourselves, the company, and the country at large. However, I'm sorry to announce to you that the company secretary, Anna, has been sacked from the company." He announced and they began to murmur.Aidan nodded his head and bit his upper lip,“ Yes, sh
