After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss Chapter 0036
Charlotte's POV What am I planning? Seriously, that's what he pulled me in here to ask? I thought the three years he had gone into the shadows would have been used to reflect on his issue, but it turns out he is still the piece of shit he was before I left him. It seems like the only thing he cares for is his empire and those that are actually of use to it. Contributing to help the company progress. “Are you kidding me, Drake?” I asked with a genuinely surprised tone.“Kidding you about what?” He asked. Confused. “Why will you be asking me what I'm planning?” Before he could reply, I quickly continued, I wasn't done talking. “I don't see any reason to tell you what I'm planning, if at all I have anything I'm planning,” He let out a sigh and covered his face with his palm for a while. “Let's forget about that then,” he waved his hand like he was dismissing the topic. “Good, Mr. Watson,” I said and turned to leave. “I'm not done talking yet,” he said and reached for me, bloc

Charlotte’s POV Slowly days passed by; nothing much happened until the first scheduled meeting the government had with my company and Watson Holdings. Just as expected, Drake was the one that showed up for the meeting. It was an important one; there was simply no way that he would have sent a representative, just the same way I wouldn’t have sent any representative to the meeting and would have begged Sawyer to help me deal with whatever would have kept me busy if it couldn’t be postponed. “It’s nice to meet you, Miss Charlotte Torres and Mr. Drake Watson,” the government representative said to welcome both of us when he made his way inside. “I will be the one representing the government for these meetings and almost everything that has to do with the contract,” the man, clearly around his mid-sixties, said to us with a faint smile that didn’t last long on his face. He sat at the head of the long rectangular table and slid documents to both me and Drake. “That is the first

Drake’s POV Frustration, anger. I don’t know which is the right word to describe the way I am feeling between the two words, or maybe it was both of them I was feeling at the same time. The new version of Charlotte was a headache to deal with. In the past she would have talked to me, no matter how pissed she was, even if I’m the one that pissed her off, but that is no longer the case. The fact that she acts like we weren’t once husband and wife is the main headache, treating me just like a business partner and nothing more.The next time we met was faster than I thought it would have been. The next day after the meeting with the government was a party of a business friend that I had been invited to and could not ditch no matter how hard I wanted to, given the relationship between both of us. “You made it, Drake!” He welcomed me with arms stretched wide for a hug and enveloped me in one. “Thank you, and please don’t crush me,” I stated and released myself from his grip. “Crush yo

Drake's POV At that moment she turned to look in my direction, and our eyes met.No emotion, blank expression on her face, the same way it has been for quite a while. She turned her gaze away from me to face the young man beside her; it seemed like he was saying something. For the first time since I've seen her after her return, she let out a really genuine laugh, one that was filled with happiness. I tore my gaze away from them and downed the flute of champagne. I was holding down my throat and moved farther away from that scene. "Drake!" A feminine voice called, drawing my attention to her. I turned to stare at the source of the voice, keeping my facial expression blank. "Angelina?" I arched an eyebrow at her in a questioning manner. The petite brunette young lady that seems to be around my age folded her arms on her chest and said, "Don't tell me you forgot my name." "Okay, I won't tell you I did," I replied with a shrug. "Do you even remember me?" She questioned with a s

Charlotte’s POVMonday mornings always feel the same, dreadful.For six years, I’ve followed the same routine: waking up before dawn, dressing in muted elegance, and arriving at Watson Holdings as both Drake Watson’s secretary and wife. The title wife was supposed to mean something, but in reality, it was just a formality. It was an empty title given to a woman he never really noticed.My eyes are set to meet the man who never treated me the way I had desperately hoped. He never fulfilled my dream of a complete and fulfilling marriage with him. As my driver pulls up in front of the towering glass monolith, unease creeps up my spine. Something feels… off.“The Watson Holdings Tower is coming up, ma’am,” my new driver said, cutting into my thoughts.“Which entrance, ma’am?” the driver asks, eyeing me through the mirror.“Take me to the regular staff entrance. East side,” I caught the driver's confused gaze in the rearview mirror.“But…. are you Mrs. Watson? I was instructed to—”“Pleas

Drake’s laughter filled the room, rich and unrestrained. A sound so foreign— because he had never laughed like that with me.The realization stung, sharp and unforgiving.I stepped into his office, my presence an uninvited disruption.His gaze snapped to mine. Cold. Impatient. Not surprised, but annoyed.Mia's lips curled in satisfaction, but I caught a flicker of something calculating in her eyes—a predator sizing up its prey."I've heard quite a bit about you, Ms...""Mrs. Charlotte Watson," I supplied answers, my voice steadier than I felt. The name I’d carried for six years suddenly felt like borrowed clothing..Mia’s smile widened as she extended a perfectly manicured hand. Confidence. Untouchable.“Hmm, you don’t have that title anymore, darling. I was his first love, and soon, I'll be his fiancée.”The words pierced through me with surgical precision. How could she have the audacity to say that directly to my face? My stomach contracted painfully as a wave of cold dread washed

"You heard me. Apologize to Mia." Drake insisted again while my heart was still sinking from his last words.Pride warred with practicality as humiliation crawled up my throat. But what choice did I have?"I'm sorry," I whispered, the words tasting like ashes on my tongue.Mia's lips curved into a smile of pure triumph. She patted Drake's shoulder, gazing up at him adoringly. "It's okay, Drake. It was just an accident. Charlotte didn't mean it."My hands clenched at my sides. Six years. Six years of sacrifice, compromise, and unwavering loyalty. And in this moment, she meant less to him than a stranger."Go clean yourself up," Drake said offhandedly. "Mia, use my credit card to order a replacement for your outfit. Charlotte, clean up this mess before my next appointment arrives."Mia stood, pressing a soft kiss to Drake's cheek before sauntering past Charlotte. She didn't speak, but her smirk communicated volumes.Shocked, I felt something essential unraveling inside me. As if my enti

Drake’s POVI was sitting in my office with Mia, and just being around her filled me with a lightness I hadn’t felt in six years. If she hadn't begged me with those pleading eyes back then, I never would have let her leave for that modeling contract in Paris.Mia and I met at a gala seven years ago. She wasn’t just beautiful—she was magnetic. Being with her felt effortless. Charlotte, on the other hand, had been a complication from the start.We first crossed paths in high school, but our real connection happened much later, in a hotel room I barely remember. By then, she had earned her MBA and was working at my father’s company. I never saw her as anything serious, but she forced my hand.Even though we both gained something from this marriage, I knew she had been desperate to make it happen. She acted as if she loved me, but in reality, she only wanted to secure her position in my family's business once I inherited it. She never wanted me, only the title of Mrs. Watson, the power th

Drake's POVI didn't waste time in signing the partnership deal with Avatar Inc. At first I had thought that something shady would have been in the document that had been sent to me, but it turned out to be as clear as it could be and was supposed to be. Days slowly passed after we made our partnership known to the government and officials. Just as both of us had thought it was a good idea and a reason to keep us going in this deal. We were on par with the legacy companies that way. We made it past the remaining stages in peace until the last one, where the people who got the contract would be called. The government decided to make it an official announcement, more like a press conference combined with the announcement. Not every single person competing for the deal had been called forth; only those that made it to the top three were called forth. A news lady approached me with a mic held in her right hand and a cameraman following her closely behind. She stopped right in fron

Charlotte’s POV I walked out onto the balcony of my penthouse, staring at the busy road of the city. My gaze was on the vehicles moving to and fro in the city; in reality, I wasn’t really staring. Instead, I was lost deep in my thoughts. “What do you think about this partnership deal that you are about to sign with Drake?” Sawyer asked, coming close to me. He leaned with his back on the glass railings while keeping his gaze on me. It had been mere minutes since I ended my call with the representatives that I had sent to Watson Holdings to represent me, all in the name that I was overseas. It seemed like the next conversation would be that of him putting his pen to paper and actually signing to finalize the deal; there was nothing more to discuss. He was fine with the method each of us would be earning money from. I am pretty sure that he wouldn’t get anything in the document that would make him change his mind about signing the deal. I was a hundred percent sure about th

Drake's POV “Mr. Watson, good day, sir,” a female stretched her hand out to me for a handshake with a neutral expression plastered on her face. I slightly rose, accepted her handshake, and replied, “Nice to meet you too.” “Mr. Watson,” a masculine voice called immediately after, and he also stretched his hand out for a handshake, which I accepted firmly, and nodded my head once. “You can have your seat.” I pointed to the two chairs opposite me and slowly had my seat. Looking at them keenly, I could tell that they weren't the people I had called for a meeting with. The man spoke first, answering the question on my mind: “You don't have to look so surprised, but do we really not look like people who can own Avatar Inc.?” “I am not one to judge a book by its cover; that is why I didn't voice my thoughts and instead waited for you to introduce yourselves,” I answered. “Well, it seems like your thought is actually right; we are not the owners of Avatar Inc.; instead, we are represe

Drake's POV“I'm sorry, but we cannot go on with this deal; I will have to nullify the contract between both of us,” Axiom Engineering CEO said to me with a straight face; the look in his eyes was determined.I could tell that nothing was going to change his mind. What the hell do I want to say that will change his mind?This is the third meeting that we are hosting in two weeks. The first one was to seal the deal between both of us, and the second one was to complain about a breach that he felt was going to cause issues, and now a meeting to end the contract. “What's the reason this time?” I questioned with a relaxed expression, but I was far from that.Far from relaxed. What is there to relax for?“It's about this breach of a thing again. I am sorry if this will put a dent in our relationship, but I can not go on with this contract; I have to look out for my company. I don't want any shit to befall us,” he explained. I replied, “You know this will cost you, right?” “Yeah, of c

Drake's POV Why now, of all times, was the news of our breach leaked? “How many people know of the breach in this company?” I asked Racheal, my secretary, while leaning on the edge of my office desk. “I can't tell how many people know about it, sir; the only thing that I am sure of is that the two executives of the company know, but I don't think the information has gotten to the shareholders yet,” she answered with a more free tone. My behavior during the past few days has been nothing if not peaceful and calm. I sucked the air through my teeth and slowly rubbed the little hair that was already growing in my jaw. They are already coming out again, even though it hasn't been up to a week since I shaved them off.They weren't of any concern to me right now; I have more serious issues to deal with. I am pretty sure that this breach will affect us sometime in the future, and it might even be closer than I think, which is quite scary. “We suffered a leak of information, Racheal. Wh
