VIOLET'S POV

"Are you comfortable?". I asked concerned

Luther was sited on the leather executive chair, I sat opposite of him

" I think you should be the one here Violet, I am just your eyes remember?". I smile

"Well, you won't be forever. Don't worry about me, I'll be right beside you". I guess when I mean it won't be forever it means as long as this marriage continues, I don't know why but deep down it makes me feel-this isn't just about me.

I hear him sigh " So, where do we start?".

"I'm way ahead of you, Jesse has been trying to get the Boilers to partner with us, Lexi is her father's only heir, and her brother is in Rehab. The problem is men, well the board, they don't believe a woman is capable of running such a big business, so I'm very sure Jesse must have said something to her to piss her off".

Violet decided to keep her last name when we got married "Give me a second then". I look at Violet who stood awkwardly, she's nervous, I've heard a lot about chairwoman Zara and she's a tough nut, first day of work and I'm already, working. Suddenly the voice comes back "Come in". We hear a lot of locks, and the big front door slowly opens. We enter the house and it's bigger on the inside, it looks like those rich Indian houses. " The chairwoman is in the greenhouse, I shall escort you both". The big tall bald guard said with his threatening voice. "Okay". Violet mutters I take her hand and we both follow the guard.

    LUTHER'S POV I enter the building and wore a confident look. As I walk I made sure to give a quick nod to those who greet me, for what I know I'm in the tigers' den. I was about to enter the office when I see "Lana?". She raises her head and her eyes widen "Luther? What are you doing here?" her desk is right next to the office. "I work here now, wait, you work for me?" She smiles a little "I guess so, I'm the secretary to whoever works in that office. Of course you have others". I nod "I see. You're fired". I immediately enter the office. She storms in "You can't just fire me without a reason". I take my seat crossing my legs on top of the table shaking them "How about this, the fact you work here bothers me". She shrugs "I don't give a flying fuck. Luther, for once think about me, if not think of Lisa, how else do I feed her huh?" "You can get another job, you are a graduate". She scoffs "Yea but this is one of the best jobs, the pay here I can't get anywhere else".

"I guess you can handle things without my help". I open the cap and drank in one gulp "Yea.. I told you I'm good at convincing people". She giggles, I throw the empty bottle away. "She's a lot like you, you know". Violet scoffs "She's better, she knows how to carry herself". "That's it, she knows how to hide her fears, that doesn't make her better than you sweetheart". She doesn't say anything "I'll go to bed now, Join me later?". She nods, I go to our bedroom. I take off my suit, my phone suddenly rings, I pick it up. "Hello?". "Dad". A smile slowly appears on my face "Hey kiddo, thought you weren't talking to me". "Can I come stay with you?". I scratch the back of my head "Why? Everything with your mum okay?". "Yea...
