After The Vows Goodnews
Chapter 57“Do you like your office?” Drew turned to me.I looked around. The office was a beauty to behold it was spacious with high ceilings, and a great view. I was impressed by the details put into it, but I didn’t show it. My expression was neutral.“It’s okay,” I replied, touching the shelf lightly.“The look on your face says otherwise. It can be worked on if you don’t like it, though.”“The look on my face doesn’t matter. I’m not here to design an office. I’m here to work. As long as I can get work done here, I’m okay with it.”“Hmmm,” he replied, looking away.I walked over to the table that had been put in place.“What if I had said no to the office… Drew—oh, Mr. Drew,” I corrected myself, realizing I had slipped.“You’re a smart woman, Miss Alia. I knew you would accept.” He sat on the couch, legs crossed.He sounded like he knew me but he didn't my acceptance was what anyone could guess.I cleared my throat. That was the second compliment today.“There’s something for you
After The Vows Working with Drew Jacobs
Chapter 56Alia’s povLife really has a strange sense of humor. Here I am, taking orders from Drew. If someone had told me in the past months that this would happen, I would have laughed hard in their face, even if it was a fortune teller.Yet here I was, walking out of the boardroom after being summoned to his office like an employee.Most of the staff were already gone. Some went back to their desks while others stood in small groups having discussions. I wouldn’t be surprised if I were part of their discussion. My marriage to Drew had been public. Some of the staff must be wondering why an ex-wife and ex-husband were now working together.But I wasn’t bothered about side gossip.And they knew better than to run their mouths, knowing their jobs were at stake if they were caught talking about their boss.That’s for Drew to sort out.In a few months, I’ll be done with the project and go back to the life I left in Silveshore.I knocked on the door.“Come in,” Drew’s voice replied from
After The Vows A minute too late
Chapter 55Drew's pov I had all my cards played out during my last meeting with Alia. Now all I had to do was wait for her decision. But waiting wasn’t as easy as I thought. From the moment she left my office yesterday, the day went by more slowly than usual. And after sending her that email, I kept refreshing my inbox over and over again, but she hadn’t responded.I stood up from my office chair and rested against the edge of the table, crossing my legs and staring at nothing in particular. The office was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner. I looked at the clock on the wall, a few minutes for the meeting to start and Alia still wasn’t here.A knock sounded on the door.I felt a sigh of relief leave my chest.She must be the one.“Come in,” I replied instantly.The door opened.It was my secretary.The relief disappeared and was replaced with disappointment.“Yes?” I answered harshly.“Sir, I just came to remind you of the meeting. It’s starting now.”“I’m aware of
After The Vows Facing my fears
Chapter 54I’ll give you the money,” Harry blurted out.I froze.Harry had been waiting for me with a congratulatory note and flowers, with a big smile on his face when I got home. But the moment I shared the news with him, the smile disappeared. Shock settled on his face, and ever since then he had been trying to think of ways I could get through this.But this offer? That wasn’t a solution I thought he would come up with.“I can’t take it, Harry.” I stood up forcefully. I was becoming restless. I paced around the room.“Alia, trust me, that’s the only option you have now. And I don’t mind giving you the money. That is way better than you having to work with that man.”“You don’t understand, Harry.” I turned to him. “That money is worth a lot. It’s even worth more than half my company.”“I know,” he said firmly, running a frustrated hand through his hair. “But I won’t just sit and do nothing while your company is at stake. It might be a lot of money, but I honestly don’t mind.”“I ca
After The Vows Dead end
Chapter 53I walked into that building confident. Now I’m walking out bound to the last man I ever wanted to work with.I opened my car door forcefully and threw my bag and files into the backseat. The files scattered before landing messily on the chair.“Shit… shit…” I bent my head against the steering wheel, hitting it repeatedly. The dull sound echoed inside the car.The excitement I had felt this morning was completely gone. Right now, I didn’t even know what I was feeling, anger, frustration, or maybe helplessness. It all mixed together until I could barely breathe.“Unbelievable,” I muttered, dragging in a sharp breath as I slowly raised my head.My reflection in the windshield looked nothing like the confident woman who had walked in earlier. My hair was scattered around my face, my mascara slightly smudged beneath my eyes.I brushed my hair back.I need to call my lawyer. There has to be a way out. I’ve worked so hard to make sure Drew remains in the past. I can’t go back down
After The Vows Legally Trapped
Chapter 52Alia's pov “I’m so glad I’m finally back to doing business deals,” I said to Harry on the phone as I drove to my appointment, my fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel.“I can hear the excitement in your voice, sunshine.”“I bet you can” I giggled softly “ But I don’t know why the owner suddenly decided not to be anonymous. It’s weird to me though.”“I’m sure it’s nothing, Harry. Mr. Philip said the CEO needed to speak to me one-on-one.” I shrugged lightly even though he couldn’t see me.“Yeah, you said so. Anyways, just let me know if anything comes up. I’m sure you will nail it as always.”“I hope so. Alright, I’ll call you after the meeting. Take care.”“You too, Lia.”The call ended.Everything looked beautiful this morning — the sky, the air but I knew the real source of my joy. I had missed rushing to go to work, sitting in the office brainstorming ideas, meeting clients, and executing projects. I straightened in my seat, feeling that familiar spark ret
