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
Aidan stared at his phone for a few minutes as he felt anger flush through him.“Who are these mannerless men who are sending these messages to me?” he asked himself as he stood by the door entrance.“ Don't they know that dating a lady is like a competition? Anyone who is smart takes her home,” he added as though he was talking to someone in particular.He decided to leave for his room since his mom and younger sister weren't in the living room. Moreover, he was exhausted too and he needed rest. The best thing to do now was to take a shower and lay down on the bed.On his way to his room, Sharon's call came in, but he ignored it. Unfortunately, Sharon kept calling as though she was at the point of death. He became frustrated by her calls and decided to pick up, and continued his walk to his room.“Hey," he said with a low tone.“Hey, good evening, Aidan.” She greeted with a sad face and Aidan could tell that from her voice.“Good evening, Sharon. What's wrong that your voice is soundi
As early as 5:00 am, a heavy knock came on Aidan's door, making him jump off his sleep.Despite feeling sleepy, his eyes were wide open as he gazed at the door with trembling. No one has ever knocked on his door this way.“Who is there?” Aidan asked as he tightened his hand into a fist and furrowed as his brows thickened up.“It's your Mom,” the feminine voice echoed from outside.“Huh? Mum? What's happening?” Aidan was terrified because he can't remember when last his mom came into his room, talk more of coming this early.His mom never wakes him. This only happened when he was a child and still attending elementary school.So, what now? Is he late for the office or what?Looking to his left, Aidan checked his alarm clock and discovered that it was still too early for him to leave home for the office.He breathed out heavily and climbed down the bed and went to the door and opened it.“Hey, Mom,” before Aidan could close his mouth, his mom had entered the room.“We need to discuss, Ai
