She woke up the next day with hopes in her eyes. She dressed up for the day and went to the office. They were supposed to have a board meeting and so, she prepared herself to go there. In the meeting room, the shareholders were discussing the brilliance of a young guy dressed in a black suit and shirt. His hair was oiled and combed to his back and it lingered on shoulders, at first glance, one would think of him as a gentleman.But when he smiled, you would sight a devious expression, Elsie entered and heard praises of him. He watched Elsie walked in dressed like a business woman with some files in her hands and he smiled in her way. Elsie saw his smile and shook her head and thought,‘This time that this guy is smiling in my way, I believe he has something on his sleeves. What’s he planning now?’As she was about to sit down, one elderly looking man looked in her way and said to her,“I don’t think you deserve the seat that you are about to sit on.”Elsie tilted her head to the side
They listened to her throughout the meeting but Darren didn’t like this, but he couldn’t do anything about it. After the had discussed the issues in the company, it was time for them to vote on the CEO. The board members carried the matter and thought of the one who could bring them more money and raise the company and the results turned to be in the favour of Elsie. The same elderly man that had started the chaos with his words stood up and with shame drawn all over his body spoke in a nervous tone,“After all, that we did, you still stood your ground, which shows that you are a persistent person. I’m glad that we will be working with you as our CEO, you have won, where do you want as your office?”“I would like to stay in the same office as my father had. Thank you all for accepting me as one of you. I will be sure to meet your expectations. Just as you said, I will take what you all did as a test.”She stood up and bowed slightly and said to them,“The meeting ends here, thank you
Oswald left for the men’s room after he had waited for the Hubery and he wasn’t coming. When he returned, they had arrived and it was Tess and her mother along with the Hubery. He wondered why they all had come together as he was expecting to be still in the hospital. Hubery had invited him out and he thought that he wanted to discuss business. But looking at how, they all had come together, he knew he was in to listen to something he wouldn’t want to hear. Oswald was thinking about several reasons the family would call for him but he couldn’t come into a conclusion.Hubery sat and waited for Oswald to speak but he didn’t say anything and only stared on his phone and so, he decided to be straight forward with his words,“I would like to know your plans towards your engagement with Tess.”Oswald finally glanced in the way of Tess and a smile appeared on her face. she thought he was going to keep looking at her but it was only a glance. He looked into the way of Hubery angrily,“I don’t
Elsie turned around and walked a little distance from the place, she looked in the air and felt heart broken. She shook her head and said to herself,“When will you learn your lesson their heart? What destiny? I think it’s the devil’s doing, he just wants me to suffer that’s why he keeps bring pain in person of Oswald in my way.”She sighed and took out her phone and called Rod. He came out to meet her and asked her,“Why don’t you hand it to him yourself when you’ve come this far?”Elsie looked at the wristwatch on her hand and said to him,“I don’t have the time for that, I need to go back to work. After you have handed this to him, he will know I came by.”She turned around and left. Rod looked behind her and wondered the reason behind the cold shoulder but he couldn’t think of anything he had done lately so he thought that she must be really busy.Rod walked back inside and handed the file to him, Oswald looked into the file and looked up at him and then asked,“Who brought this d
They sat face to face, they had both ordered for coffee but Elsie had on her face, a serious expression. She glared at Ford and said to her,“I am really serious about this, help me check it out in company files. This person mustn’t go scout free.”Ford smiled and sipped on his coffee, he raised his eyes and stared at her. When he was done, he only checked his phone. Elsie was confused at his reaction, he wasn’t taking her seriously and she knew it. And so, she took her bag and said to him,“I don’t think you are taking me seriously here. So, I will leave you to accompany your coffee since it seems you only see it here.”Ford stretched his hand and pushed her down. Just as Elsie was about to protest, he looked behind him and smiled, Elsie looked that way as well and saw Oswald walking towards them. When he got there, he swiftly took the cup of coffee in front of Elsie and took a sip from it. He breathed in and gulped it down as if it was the best drink ever.Ford saw his action and sn
Rod looked through the contract that he received from the Alfred group of companies. As he looked through it, he shook his head and confusedly after another look, he took his phone and dialled a number. The person answered on the second ring and he said to him,Sir, I looked through the contract sent from Miss Elsie’s company and there seems to be more mistakes compared to the second one submitted. What should I do about this?The person didn’t answer for some time in a few seconds, he said to Rod,I will be taking over this contract, you don’t have to concern yourself about it anymore.Rod was speechless, he glanced at the phone and kept it back beside his ear, then he thought to himself,Have I heard him wrongly? If he is going to work on this, what about the tons of work on his table?As he was thinking about this, he heard him say,Inform Elsie so you can arrange a meeting for us.Rod’s lips fell open but no words could come out of it.In Elsie’s office, she is busily typing on he
With that thought in mind, Elsie held her burning cheeks and shook her mind of that thought. But her eyes couldn’t leave his wet hair, she gulped done and without thinking, asked him,Do you need help with your hair? You should have dried it before coming out of the washroom. You keep doing that and you will catch a cold.Oswald smiled as he remembered that she would dry his hair anytime he came out of the washroom forgetting to get it dried. He guessed it had become a habit of it and still thought about that even after their divorce. Seeing the smile on Oswald’s face, Elsie shook her head again as she realized what she had said out of thought.She looked down and held the bag in her hands tightly as she squeezed her face. Oswald saw that she was nervous and regretted her words, this made the smile on his face deepen as he thought,I didn’t know you were this cute. Your actions depict your thoughts so much.He walked away from the door and said to her to walk in, he was still by the d
Oswald watched the lady who hadn’t realized what she said and he said to her to make her understand her words,Yes, we shouldn’t have divorced in the first place, our actions were rather rushed.Elsie looked up at him and recalled her words for him to answer in such a surprising way. When she did, she quickly took the glass of water on the table and gulped it down noisily. She shook her head and didn’t want to speak to Oswald again as she thought to herself,I seem to be uttering nonsense every time that I speak to him without thinking.Oswald also knew that she was feeling embarrassed and didn’t say anything anymore. Their meal was served and they both ate in silence. After Elsie was done with hers, she stood up and said to him,I will be leaving first, I need to put things together in the contract and I also have other things to do.Oswald looked up at her to speak but she was already walking away in hurry. He sighed and thought,How adorable. She’s really someone that I am getting
