Sara POVClick clickMy expensive red bottom shoes tapped against the marble sparkly floor of the open company floors. The moment I continued to walk in with my head raised up, I noticed a lot of eyes in my direction and some murmurings that includes people saying different sorts things about me."Isn't that the young Madam? She looks so beautiful.""Well she's the Madam now since her father gave up the ghost.""I can't believe she's putting on makeup. I would not recognize her if not for the cute eyes.Then I noticed men in suits jogging down the stairs and heading towards me. "Ma'am," they said almost jovially.I noticed they were from the accountant department in the company. "Where is the acting CEO and finances manager?" I asked."They… erhm…"One of them looked like they were hesitant to speak.I noticed him and gave him a firm look. "What are you hiding?" I said. "Speak up!"He seemed to flinch back and then he said, "They are both not yet on seat ma'am." I glanced at the near
Sara's POV"And I'm saying this to clear the air between us right now. I… am the CEO of this company from now on and should be treated as such. All important information should be sent to my email. As the acting CEO, you're now my secretary. You'll fill in for me when I cannot attend some events. However, I am still the CEO." I said with much authority."Got it ma'am." They chorused."I expect to see company's info on my desk within the next hour. If there's a need to call forth another meeting for any reason whatsoever then that I would keep in touch with all of you. That being said," I got up on my feet. "Meeting dismissed."I proceeded to walk out of the room and head straight to my office. The CEO's. Where my father used to work. I touched the chair and the desk of the office and felt a burning desire and feeling in my chest.As CEO, there were turns and turns of responsibility to be done and if I didn't do well to delegate the tasks to trusted heads in the company, this union wou
Sara's POVI got into the car and drove off to Davis's law firm. It was the standard from sight. I'd been here a few times before and knew my way around. But it was only that this was the first time I was coming here as his married wife.I stepped into the law firm confidently. One thing I knew for certain, I was representing Davis and so I had to act well.A worker rushed to me with a wide smile on her face, all friendly and firm."Hello ma'am, is there anything I can do for you? You look like a new face so i—""—I am here to see my husband, attorney Davis."The woman seemed taken aback by my response, but then she looked at me closely and her eyes brightened up. "You are Mrs Sara—""—Please," I interupted. "Lead me to my husband's office straightaway.""Yes ma'am."I followed behind the woman who walked really fast, and behind her I was strutting like I was on a runway. It was a really thrilling sight seeing other lawyers going about their jobs. The moment I took the elevator as ins
Sara's POV "Oh my gosh, they're such a cute couple." I heard all sorts of endearing comments until Davis and I were outside."Are your workers always chitty chatty?" I asked once we were alone."Just ignore them." We walked up to my car and I gave him the keys."Didn't you say you were going to drive?" He asked me."I was going to but I'm exhausted so I think I'm going to take a little break now. Is that okay?"Davis accepted the keys and got into the driver's seat while I got settled next to him."You ready?" He asked as I struggled to fix my seatbelt."One second." I finally got it fixed up and gave him the go ahead. "Let's go."We drove off and arrived in front of a sushi restaurant. It was an extravagant sight. One I could not contend with."I was not in the mood for sushi." I told him."Me neither." He replied. "But since we're here we should both go try something out."We got into the restaurant and both ordered the first option on the menu. Sushi and salad."Do you like it?"D
Sara's POVThe door bursted open and walked in Ruth with an excited look on her face. "Boss, I brought you a whole bottle of orange juice since you might want to make sure it safe, you're pregnant and you should be more careful about the things you take."I was about smiling but one of the words she mentioned sent shivers down my spine. I got up from the slanty chair in haste, walked past Ruth to look behind her and make sure that no one else had heard. Once the coast was clear, I closed the door shut and pulled Ruth close to me, grabbing her by the shoulders."What did you just say?""You're pregnant. Is that not—"I clasped my hand around Ruth's mouth, clasping it shut. "Do you have any idea what the consequences of what you've just said?"Ruth looked shocked and confused all at once. "I'm a med student in my final year so I can identify that you are pregnant.""How?" I asked genuinely just so I could know if I had somehow exposed myself to others in ways that I wasn't aware of. Oth
Sara's POV"I'm actually very tired today so I can't eat it. Probably.. I'll get my period soon."Davis looked tremendously relieved by my comment. "I've always wanted to say this but it skipped my mind. Recently, your body changes has seemed a bit different so I was concerned and even brought it up to you that we go to the clinic but…" he exhaled. "Thank God it's just your period.""And you should be more grateful," he said. "You have a caring husband. So just manage and eat up all that I bought you. In a few days, you'll be losing a lot of blood and knowing your strong temper, you'd still want to sustain your workload. Let me advice you one more time, Sara. Eat well these days so when you start your period, you don't look like a shell of yourself."I sighed. This guy…After all what he'd said, did I need any further explanation? There was literally nothing to say. "Fine, I'll eat it all up. Just let me be."Davis smiled and then walked out the door leaving me alone and in a panicke
Sara's POV"No that's not what I meant," I told Davis but he didn't seem to pay my words any mind. "I know exactly what you mean my dear love and I'm responding accordingly." I was beginning to get frustrated by all his wiles and techniques. It was unfitting for him and it was beginning to really sit badly on my nerves."Davis," I said seriously and he stared at me before quickly looking away. "There should be something fun playing in the television, so why don't you take the food and watch something. You seem a bit tense lately, I don't think that is very good for your back."I exhaled, refusing to let this moment pass without any addressing."Davis," I said firmly. "Stop trying to circle around the main issue, I know you are deliberately trying to put down the importance of this issue and I'm not going to have any of that.""Whoa, easy there Mrs. CEO you seem very much on edge? What about a nice massage—""—Davis.""Or a nice trip to the island in Francisco. I hear that's a great sp
Sara's POVAnd I went to my room disappointment, I had hoped to get a little bit of free idea off of Davis but his words still stood. Work life and Office life. He made sure to differentiate that quite a bit.I received an email, a copy of some document attached to the letter from my step-nephew as well as assistant.Good morning from Claude, your assistant, hope this message finds you well. There's an emergency I need you to brief you on. It's concerning one of our major investors. I was on a call with him and he mentioned four valid points that he's having with the company and of which I've attached a document to brief you on.I clicked on the document briefly and sat up on my bed. But that was not enough for me. I felt too uncomfortable doing nothing so I stood up and sat on a chair instead as I viewed the document.Preface of the company is no longer attractive to the public. When the company was first founded by the late CEO, that was the move that was well accepted at this time
