I really hate him! I want to ask God why did he allow me to have a devious billionaire husband?! Sequel of Business Wife
View MoreEllie and I agreed that she would be the one who would discuss the project with the team. Most of the people in JDLI didn't know about my connection with Zobel. As much as possible I don't want the employees from JDLI to know about my background. I know that I am just being paranoid but I don't want them to think that I got the job because of my background. Surely, they will also question my promotion. I went here to prove something for myself. I'm so done with people thinking that all the things I have achieved are because of my background and that my career is going smoothly because I am the daughter of Arielle and Lincoln Zobel. "Cheers to the JDLI and CIC partnership!" It was James."Cheers!" Everyone looks so happy. The event was successful. All of us were looking forward to the new partnership."I have good news for everyone," Ellie said.Everyone turns to her with great anticipation. "I just called Luther from ZGC, they will have their very first Zobel Mall here in the US.
"After I'm done with my work here. And speaking of James... What's with you and him?" I almost choked myself because of my brother's question. "He's my boss?" I said like he was asking a stupid question.I saw in peripheral vision the curious look on Nathalie's face. I guess she has no idea about my marriage with James, which explains her shocked expression when I said that I was James' wife. Well, that's great! The fewer people know about my problem with James, the easier I can solve it. "I heard what you said earlier." My brother said in a serious voice.I cleared my throat. "I-I just said that to irritate her!" I said, I almost stuttered."She has no right to bully someone simply because she can't win a guy! That's so low!" I added it to make it more convincing. "That's good then. But I never thought you would say that, knowing how you two hate each other." Then he chuckled. Nathalie's eyebrows furrowed. "They hate each other?" "Yes! They are like dogs and cats. Always banter
"And who the hell are you?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at that bratty girl from head to foot. "Me? I'm James' wife," I said with full confidence. I saw Nathalie's shocked face. I winked at her and mouthed 'Trust me'The bratty girl and her dad took a few seconds to recover from their shock. "I didn't know that Mr. Feria is already married." The old man said. "We got married in the Philippines before I went here to the US," I said, which is true. "And I think you guys should call him Mr. Ottave because Feria was my mother-in-law's maiden name," I said. "Are you some kind of delusional or what?! James isn't married yet! How come no one knew about it!" Ruby said, a bit hysterical. I smirked. "I guess you are not that important to him for you to know. You can ask David and Hailey about it." "Ahhh!!! That is not true! James is mine!" She started to scream. I looked at her with disgust. She was acting so low just because of a guy. Ewww. She glared at me. "You are not his wif
A message suddenly appeared on my phone. It was from my brother, Luther. I took out my phone and check his message.My eyes widened after reading his message. My brother is here in the US, and he wants to see me after work. Oh my gosh! I miss him! I immediately agreed and told him where to meet. I can't wait to see him. Hannah nudged me to get my attention. I turned to her and asked, "What is it?" She pointed out my phone and said, "Your line is ringing." Referring to the company phone that was designated for me. "Oh!" I answered the phone.It was Bradley. James wanted me in his office. I grabbed my notebook and pen, and I was ready to go to his office when I saw Nathalie and Hailey go back to their respective places. I assume that they just got back from James' office. Bradley saw me, and he opened the door for me. I said thank you to him and went inside.James asked me to sit on the couch. I nodded and followed him. "I'm sorry about Nathalie's attitude earlier," James said th
"Have you heard about the Zobel group of companies?"Nathalie's eyes widened. "She's connected with them?"I smirked and nodded. "She's the only daughter of Arielle and Lincoln Zobel, the owner of the Zobel group of companies."Nathalie's jaw dropped for a few seconds, then she glared at me. "Don't tell me you hired her here because of her family? I told you I hate people who only get what they want because of connections, especially if it's because of their parents!"I know that very well. The reason why I didn't meddle with Yelle's application to the company. I just let David decide whether to pass her or not. But I'm confident that she'll pass. Yelle's past projects will speak for her. "I'm not the one who hired her. It was David," I said as a matter of fact.Nathalie was about to say something, but I cut her off before she made another wrong assumption."I did not do anything nor tell David about Yelle's background. And you know David, he never looked at people's background or co
When lunchtime was over, I decided to go to the design team to call Nathalie for a meeting. I know that I can just call her to go to my office, but I wanted to see Yelle. It sounds crazy that I still miss her even though we were together this whole morning for the meeting. I wanted to see her face and also her reaction when she saw how Nathalie and I were close to each other. She only knew that my close friends were Hailey and David. Nathalie is more like a daughter to me than a friend, even though we are the same age. She was my scholar. We went to the same school. She was my classmate. They are not well-off. She was a scholar at our school. We became close because we share the same passion for designing furniture. When she told me that she would not go to college because of financial problems, I immediately asked her to come with me to the US to study. I will shoulder all her needs and she will be allowed to do part-time jobs in the US to send money to her family in the Philippine
Am I ready to go back?Sure, I miss my family and friends, but I promise myself that I will not go back in my country unless I have made a name for myself. I only did a few projects here, and most of them are assisting my seniors. I did one project for myself and that's it. "Do you not want to go back yet?" David asked. Everyone looked at me, waiting for my answer. I smiled at them and shook my head. "Ms. Penelope is already on the line," Bradly said. I looked at the screen and saw Ellie and her team. They were also in their conference room. "Hi, Ellie and the team!" James greeted them. James started to introduce us to them. "I knew it, it was you, Yelle! I didn't know you were with JDLI now! I was trying to contact you." Ellie said on the monitor. "Opps, where's my manner..." She said and chuckled. Ellie introduced her team and came back to me. "Yelle, did you get my email?" I smiled at her. "I haven't checked my emails for days. I'll check your email later." Ellie nodded
"Hailey? Really?!"James nodded confidently. Then he moved his face closer to mine. I cleared my throat and felt the heat in my cheeks. What is he planning now?"Are you doubting yourself?" He said in a whisper, then he moved his face away from mine. Then he raised his right eyebrow. "Where's the confident Yelle that I know?"I was quiet for a moment. I needed a moment to calm down and compose myself. I was taken aback when he suddenly moved closer to my face. "I'm not doubting myself, okay?! I just felt like my clients in the Philippines would always say that they like my work because I am Zobel. I am not sure if all their praises were authentic. Our clients here are more credible since they don't know my background," I explained. He nodded. "I get your point. The reason why I didn't meddle with your application. Also, I'm confident that you will get the job. And you should stop worrying about Athena and her minions, your work will speak for yourself." This is the first time tha
I never expected that anyone would accuse me of having a sugar daddy. If my brothers hear this, they will not let this pass. They will surely make these girls' lives a living hell.They should be thankful because it is not my nature to tell my brothers all people who tried to bully me. Also, I am not the type to get bullied. So this is something new to me. "Where did you get that idea?!" I asked them, a bit furious. Athena smirked. "You think we won't know about your secret? We are not stupid, Yelle." "All your outfits in the office are all luxury brands. Most of your bags are limited edition," Athen added. I was dumbfounded. Then I remember my friends in the office. Hannah always reminds me to wear quiet luxury so that people in the office will not notice my stuff is all luxury brands. I should have listened to her. "So your only basis is my outfits?" I said in disbelief. Athena rolled her eyes. "You are just like us, a regular employee, you can't afford all that luxury unless
