Chapter 17
SJ got out of his private elevator early the following week and was met by Debra.
“Mr. Grande is at your office, Mr. Kincaid,” she informed formally. “Ms. Florence is on her way up as well.”
“SJ!”
He turned and saw Florence alighting from the elevator with an anxious look, while bringing with her the portfolio of all the schemes her department had made.
“Why do you think he’s here at this time?” She inquired curiously. “Debra called me. I’m glad I came in early today.”
The two entered his office and saw Mr. Grande sitting calmly on the sofa and to their surprise, he was holding a piece of paper. He put down the cup of coffee he’s drinking when he saw them.
“Mr. Grande,” SJ greeted formally. “It’s a bit early. Is there anything that we can help you with?”
Elliot Grande stood up.
“There definitely is,” he replie

Ellisande stepped out of the elevator on the 78th Floor, after receiving an order from the CEO, two hours after their encounter on the ground floor with their VIP client. She clutched her bag tightly as she walked towards the secretary, who is busy typing on her computer.“Good morning, Ms. Debra,” she greeted the ever-serious secretary, who earned the highest reputation as the most trusted employee of the CEO. “I’m here upon the CEO’s order.”Debra took her eyes off the screen and looked at Elli calmly. She had been working in the Kincaid’s company for past thirty years, and she will only take one look to know one’s personality. Right now, she is staring at the young Kincaid’s wife, few of the people who knows, and Debra kept her comments to herself for now.“Mr. Kincaid’s waiting for you, dear,” she said patiently. She stood up and led the way. She knocked on the wooden door bef

Elli looked up from her desk late in the evening, two days after she started working on the VIP project, when she heard someone call her. She smiled when she saw Kent, walking towards her with some take-out food.“You didn’t have to,” she said, a bit embarrassed.“You know that it’s not a problem for me,” Kent answered as he pulled up a chair and sat beside her. He carefully took out a container of the Chinese Restaurant of the food he bought and handed one to her. “Their shrimp already sold out, so I hope you don’t mind that it’s pork. It’s also their best seller.”“I don’t mind,” she assured as she opened it and smell the aroma it emitted.“They’re giving you a hard time, aren’t they?” He asked patiently as he leaned back and took a bite on the Chinese bun. “Making you do different work, so you won’t be able to finish the concept of th

SJ looked straight ahead while sitting on the bed, his eyes cold.“Here’s your drink, babe,” Carmela said sweetly, entering the room with his glass of whiskey. She placed the glass on the bedside table and bent down to his face and giving him a hungry kiss. “I’ll have the tub prep. I’ll call you.”He watched as she walked towards the bath.His thoughts drifted back to the scene he had walked into a while ago. He knew about Ellisande staying up late in office. Ever since he knew about the maltreatment she’s been getting, he had one of his bodyguards monitoring her. He had also made sure that those who were involved in the videos were given the punishment they deserved by targeting them through their work performance.But, never in his mind will he feel angry when he walked in her department’s office and found her smiling and having an enjoyable conversation with another man. He saw how her face changed

Elli scanned her ID by the door entrance of her department early the following day. She pushed the glass door open carefully, so as not to spill the coffee she had bought along the way. She looked forward in completing the project so she can finally get rid of her husband’s annoying presence. She stopped short when she saw two men, standing by her desk. “Good morning, Mrs. Kincaid,” they greeted formally. Elli glanced back to see if her in-law is behind her before realizing that they were directly addressing her. She vowed that she will never get used to that name. “Is there anything that you need from me?” She asked patiently. “We were given instructions by the CEO to bring your stuffs up to his office,” one said patiently. “Why?!” The two looked at each other and didn’t say anything else. “Madam, kindly open your drawer please,” the same man requested calmly. “We were just following what the CEO told us to do. Our apologies i

Elli is listening attentively to Florence as they go through her presentation and start assigning the final material finishes as well as the color schemes. SJ is sitting behind his desk, reviewing the contract his secretary had submitted to him for review for Grande’s granddaughter, who she was able to communicate with no hesitation. He placed the contract back on his desk and stared at her for a while as she edited Florence’s suggestion as well as giving her inputs.The two had been working hard on it for more than past two hours. SJ had privately message Debra to order them some lunch.“When did you learn sign language?” He suddenly asked.His wife looked at him with slight irritation in her eyes for interrupting her work.“Dad lost his voice two months after being in the hospital,” she answered and then turned back to her computer.“So, that’s the reason why you learned?” He asked again.

SJ inserted his key in The Upper Hill Apartment the following night. He became infuriated when he realized that Ellisande did not bother to bolt the door. He’s going to give her a long lecture on the importance of locking the door.He had missed her. No matter how much he wants to deny it, he’s starting to get fascinated with his wife the more he got to know her personality. He keeps on telling himself that he’s probably feeling this way because Carmela had started to bore him. As the usual “SJ Style” that both Florence and Paige dubbed him to be, he will be disposing of her soon and move to another woman.SJ bolted the door and then placed the food he brought on the counter before turning towards the living room. To his surprise, he found Ellisande, already in her pajamas, on the floor, leaning on the couch and sleeping deeply. The materials he had his man retrieved from the warehouse are strewn around her while the model she is doi

Ellisande opened her eyes the following day at the smell of bacon, wafting through her room. She sat up and looked surprised when she realized that she is on her bed. She remembered last night that she was in the living room, deciding to take a short nap before resuming doing the model.“How did I get here?” She asked as she stood up.She slowly turned to her other side, afraid of what she might see and released a sigh of relief when that side is empty. But it only lasted for a few seconds when her eyes caught a pair of men’s leather shoes, which familiarly belongs to her husband.“Why is he here?” She muttered as she stood up. “Did he sleep beside me again?”She first tidied up the bed, folding the covers neatly.“Perhaps you should wake her up, SJ,” she heard an unfamiliar voice when she opened her bedroom door.Elli stepped out from her room and stopped when she saw her husband, with F

SJ looked up from his desk on Monday morning the following week when he heard the door of his office open. He came in early despite Carmela’s clinging for him to stay longer. His mind has already been elsewhere since yesterday and the only way he can assure himself is to go leave early.“Madam just arrived, sir,” she said calmly. “I escorted her to the conference room and told her to prep everything as you had instructed.”“Deb, what do you think of Elli?” SJ suddenly asked.Debra looked at him in surprised but quickly recovered. “I really cannot say yet, Mr. Kincaid,” she honestly replied. “But so far, from what I see and heard, I think she’s an extraordinarily strong woman. She never lets those things being said or done to her hinder from what she wants to achieve.”SJ nodded with a smile as he stood up.“Thanks,” he said meaningfully. “I’ll see you at
