JOCELYN’s POV

I removed my heels and collapsed into the nearest sofa the moment I stepped into the living room and groaned. “God. My legs are killing me.”

Behind me, Daniel said. “We need to continue our meeting so we can plan our strategy really well. It will be much more comfortable in the study.” He said, already heading up the stairs.

My stomach chose that moment to let itself known by growling loudly, and I held my stomach as Daniel turned back. I cocked my head and shrugged. “It’s a natural reaction. One I shouldn’t be ashamed of.”

Daniel scoffed lightly. “I didn’t say a word.”

I blinked my eyes, well, that was true. “Your expression looked like you were going to say something.

Daniel opened his mouth, probably to scold me about jumping to conclusions on my own again so I rushed out. “If you didn’t mean that, then forget what I said.”

Daniel looked at me for a few seconds. “How long do you need to eat something?” He asked when my stomach rumbled again, and I glared at my stomach

    DANIEL’s POV“Come in.” I called as I heard footsteps near the door. There was a pause before Jocelyn opened the door and came in with a plate of fruits. She had changed into a tank top and shorts from the pantsuit she had been putting on. I’d also changed into a more comfortable T-shirt and black pant. Jocelyn sat down opposite me and looked at me.“We need to talk about the next courses of action. Your plan sounds good, but can it actually work? Somehow, I don’t think Ethan would leave obvious trails behind him if he abused his position of CFO.” Jocelyn said, popping a blueberry in her mouth.I looked at her. “Before that, we need to establish a few things. We have to work as quietly and fast as possible. Also, no matter what we end up doing, nothing must be traceable back to us.” She frowned but I continued. “Also, this is not an emotional fight. You are to act normal towards both of them, no confrontations, no threats, no acting without my permission, no matter what we end up find

    DANIEL’s POVI turned off the engine and sighed again, checking my watch. My wife had just kept me waiting for over twenty minutes. At a point, I’d considered going inside to confirm she hadn’t collapsed or fainted on the way. It had taken exactly two seconds to perish the thought, and now I’d gone from that to frustration which was fast escalating to anger.I was certain the people that had invented the phone had done so to aid communication across borders, so I was quite fascinated my wife still hadn’t figured that out.I heard footsteps and looked up to see Jocelyn running towards the car in high heels. I shook my head, with her luck, she would fall down and break her neck.She opened her door and leaned her head in, breathing a little fast. “I’m so sorry for making you wait. I was having a conversation with my assistant.” She said as she sat down and dropped her bag beside her.I started the engine. “There was no need to run. Especially in a contraption like that.” I said as I beg

    JOCELYN’s POV“Have a good night.” Harvey greeted, organizing her table and I nodded.“You too. We’ll probably have a meeting with the suppliers tomorrow so plan for that.” I said as I walked past, then turned back. “Oh. And one more thing. Can I ask for your opinion on something?”Harvey glanced at me. “What is it?”I ran my fingers down her table before finally looking at her. “What do you think of Clarissa? Both as the brand director and as a person. If you’re asked to describe her, how would you do that?”She gave me a meaningful smile. “So was I right? That something went wrong between you two. I and some employees were discussing a few days ago and nobody else shared my opinion.”I rolled my eyes. “Do you still go around talking about me? I thought I was keeping you busy enough. Or do you need more workload added?” I said jokingly. Over the last few weeks, Harvey and I had come to an agreement. She was very great at her job and over time, we’d actually gone from boss to employee

    ETHAN’s POV“And she had the guts to tell me not to work on the design again. Sure, she said it in that fake nice tone but still. The people I’d taken my time to convince, how could she do this to me. She’s totally ruining my plans.” Clarissa whined and I nodded automatically.“Babe.” She called, sounding upset, and I glanced to see her pouting and glaring at me. “Are you even listening to me at all? You don’t look interested in how my day went.”I waved it off with a smile. “Of course I do and I’ve been listening. I thought I told you I had everything covered. Do you still have plans of your own?”She huffed and sat facing forward. “Of course I do. Do you think I’m the type that only depends on a man? Especially when I’ve wanted this for a long time? You can do your own thing, and I’ll do my own.” She glanced at me again. “By the way, you’re hardly on seat anymore. Every time I go to your office, I’m always informed you’re having meetings outside. What kind of meetings does the CFO h

    JOCELYN’s POVDarius, the logistics head cleared his throat. “No matter how much or hard we work, I don’t think it will be possible for this show to hold next month. There are things that just cannot work. There are currently shipping delays, we have two key materials stuck in custom and I don’t think they’ll be released on time enough to get the work done. The fact that none of the rehearsal venues we use are available is also a problem. I don’t see the problem with us postponing it, after all the invitation hasn’t been sent yet.”“None of your excuses sound unfixable. Does anybody have something else to say?” I responded, barely restraining myself from rolling my eyes. What a series of excuses.Vivienne, the VIP and Guest relation head started talking. “Right now, it looks like you’re suggesting we work ourselves to the bone for something that won’t end up working. Is this because you’re that passionate about the show or is this because your position has been threatened if something
