Cynthia’s P.O.V. (Continued)
Terry looked at me with pursed lips and shrugged his shoulders.
“There is no clause stating this. According to the previous contract, you will be here for the next six months after acquisition to assist Mr. Lombart, and then you will go back after settling everything on Mr. Silva’s behalf. But if he is going to open the new branch here instead of shifting the whole company here, things will be different.” He replied, and I nodded in understanding.
I had a hunch why he wanted to recruit me as his personal assistant for this branch when he had an efficient and more skilled assistant like Chris with him.
If what I had in my mind is the reason, I know what I need to do.
I admitted that his offer is really tempting, and it will be a good boost for my career, but relocation has never been in my mind.
I love my family, and they will never agree to my relocation.
“There
Cynthia’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Everything is written in black and white, Ms. Williams. I only admire your skills and qualifications, which are on par with Chris. Recruiting you is solely related to your professional skills and approach. If you have any doubt, you can check the contract one more time. Not only you, but I have requested a few other employees from the main branch to shift here.” He continued with the same calm expression, but this time, there was a hint of impatience in his voice.“Take the opportunity, Cynthia. You still have me. If you don’t find the work interesting enough to keep you here, you can go back at any time, and don’t forget that you are still the most demanding personal assistant in our sector.” Mr. Silva persuaded me, but I was still hesitant.I looked at Nathan and cleared my throat before speaking.“I am honored to be recognized by you, Mr. Lombart, but I really n

Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Let’s assume that she is your wife. Than what?” He asked, and my hands trembled.“Then what, Nathan? She has no memories of what her life was before she fell into a coma. She lost all her memories before that accident.” He asked while explaining his question.He asked me, and I took a deep breath.“In that case, I guess I have to pursue her first.” I replied, sounding calm, but I was anxious.“Are you kidding me, Nathan? In my understanding now, you are going to observe her for a few weeks or months to ensure if she really is your wife or not. If not, you will maintain the professional relationship and keep on looking for your wife. If yes, you will start pursuing her freshly, but you are not divorced from your wife. You will not be able to marry her if she falls for you, which I can say is not going to be an easy job.”He was enraged and amused at the same time. His eyes were widened in rage, but his face showed confidence and agitation at the same time.
Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)He anticipated that Mr. Silva might ask for wine after signing the contract to celebrate the last contract of his professional career.I laughed at him at that time, but now I was glad that I let him do whatever he wanted to do.I took glasses and poured some wine.“Put some ice, Nathan.” Mr. Silva instructed me, and I did as instructed.I brought both the glasses to him and gave one of them to him.He mumbled a thank while taking the glass, but his face was serious.We clinked the glasses before I went to the other side.I sat down on the single couch and crossed my legs before taking a sip from the glass.For an unknown reason, I was nervous about this conversation.“I know why you made these changes, Nathan.” He said to me after a stressful short silence.I wasn’t surprised by his remark, though.As an experienced man, this was already expected from him.He suddenly chuckled and put the glass on the armrest. He circled the rim while thinking about it.“T
Nathan’s P.O.V.“Now the company is yours, Nathan. This is my baby, and I expect you to treat it like yours too.” Mr. Silva said to me while shaking hands with me.His grip was firm, demanding an assurance from me.I smiled and looked at him with a mysterious gaze, which made him raise his brows too.“Let’s proceed with the meeting first, Mr. Silva. I am sorry for not notifying you before, but I also have a better proposal for you. I wish if you read that proposal first. If you don’t like it, we have already finished the procedure.” I said to him with the same calm and confident tone that I always used when I negotiated or discussed business.He looked at me with amusement while leaving my hand.I gestured for him to walk forward. He chuckled and walked ahead of me. I opened the buttons of my suit jacket and walked towards my chair, but not before glancing at Cynthia.
Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Don’t let him stop the investigation. Ask him to get all the information that he can get on that woman and her family. We already know that someone has been sabotaging the investigation thoroughly. We can’t just believe whatever we find.” I said to him with a serious expression.“Don’t forget what the reports said. That woman was also pregnant. I don’t believe in coincidences like these.” I added it when I remembered about that.“You are right, Mr. Lombart. Two pregnant women with the same gestation period, thrown in the sea at the same time. This is a way too perfect coincidence.” He remarked, sounding agitated and apologetic at the same time.I felt bitter because we had leads, but we were still at the same place.“Good night, Chris. Take a good rest. Tomorrow is a big day for us.” I instructed while bidding the farewell.“Good night, Mr. Lombart.” He also bid the farewell, and we hung up.I sighed and slumped my shoulders down while staring somewhere bl
