CHAPTER 13: COMPARING NOTES

~ MARIA BELGRAVE~

“I know that’s why I said no. Don’t worry that won’t be happening. Now, I must deal with the board after my father insisted on making David an advisor. The board must hate that David has access to the company’s secrets. If they find out I’m connected to him this entire time; I’ll never gain their confidence. Add in I’ve no access to his company like he has mine. They must be glad Sabrina has no connection to the company.” I had to show the board that he wasn’t taking or stealing from the company. I leaned against the sink counter. There must be a way.

“Maria, that’s senseless. Why would your father have him advise you but marry Sabrina. It would make more sense if you married him, and he advised you. You know a power couple. You don’t think it’s Jacqueline screwing up your father’s wishes?” Her logic was overwhelming, but I avoided pondering it. We had to go into the meeting and speak to Mr. Skylar. I never met him, unsure of his demeanor.
