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
Aidan dressed up and informed his guards to come to carry his briefcase. His chauffeur was already at the wheel, ready to leave the mansion.Immediately he climbed downstairs, he was greeted by his younger sister's presence. Catherine stood up from the dining table and rushed to him and embraced him.“Good morning, big brother.” She greeted him with a wide smile.“Good morning, Mom's little angel. How was your night?" He replied to her with a smiling face.“It was amazing,” Catherine responded and let go of him.“I can see it written all over your face,” he said with a whisper.Catherine nodded and took him by the hand and pulled him towards the dining room.“Come and eat breakfast before leaving for work,” she said caringly as she held him tightly on the wrist and led him to the dining table.“No… I'm late for work, please. I will eat something when I get to the office.” he pleaded with her so she could free his hand, but she refused.“No excuse today. That's what you always say. I ca
It appears to be strange that the person didn't use the ringing button rather than knocking. Is the person too dull to know what the button at the door means?Secondly, he was lost as to why the receptionist, Lily, allowed someone to come to his office without informing him.Although, he told her that he was expecting Sharon and that anytime she arrived, they should let her in even without informing him.But then would Sharon decide to knock on his office door when she knew that there is an appropriate way to inform him that someone is at the door? Aidan sighed and asked with a low voice. “Who is at the door?" He sat quietly to hear who it was. He waited for what seemed like ages, but no one answered. Then it dawned on him that he has CCTV cameras installed everywhere and he can easily see the person from his laptop. Upon pressing a green button on the table, all the documents and the laptop that were supposed to be on the table suddenly appeared.He powered on his laptop and unlock
Without delaying a second, Kate turned around and rushed out of the office. She was scared of what might happen after this.Aidan picked up his phone and rushed out of his office and informed his guards that he was going out and they should get ready for his arrival.[RINGING… ]“Hello young master,” Mr. Donald's voice echoed from the phone.“I have an emergency that I'm attending to, right now. Make sure to keep eyes on everyone, especially Kate. I do not want to hear stories this time.” he warned.“Consider it done, young master. You have nothing to worry about. Everything will be in order.” Mr. Donald assured him.“Good,” Aidan nodded and hung up the call.Before Aidan could arrive at the down floor, his guards were already waiting for his arrival.He walked out of the company as one of his guards held an umbrella above him. Immediately they got to the cars, one the cars door was opened for him and he went in.“Take me to the Charles family business companies, zone 4. And make sure
In a room, the inspector was sitting opposite Sharon as he rested his hands on the table between them. It was time for questions and answers to get to the root of the incident that was at hand. “Ma'am,” the police inspector called out.“ I would have to ask you a few questions before I ask every other person. As you can see, all my colleagues are out there still interrogating the issue,” he announced and Sharon nodded.“Alright, you can go ahead and do that. I'm ready for it,” she assured him.“Thank you. Please all I need is nothing but the truth. With this, it would be easy for us to figure out if the company was set on fire by an individual or if it was an accident, okay?” “Yeah,” Sharon muttered and relaxed her back on the chair.“Alright… Here we go,” the police inspector began.“ Where were you when this incident happened?”“At my boyfriend's office,” she responded and the police inspector nodded before jotting down her answer.“Do you have any issues going on between you and you
