My eyes plastered on the screen in front of him, I sat upright as my phone beeped which indicated that a message had just popped in.I picked up his phone and then clicked on the message that had just entered.“Your eyes have never failed you,” and with it was a picture.My eyes widened in an instant and I sprang up, curling my fists in anger.It was a picture of Lyra, at our wedding last week.I needed not to be told who had sent the picture.Only a few people had the audacity to do so, and I could only wonder which of them.I grabbed my coat from the hanger and then hurried out of the office.“Sir, you have a meeting with…”My secretary's voice trailed off as I entered the elevator and then stared at the picture again.“Asshole,” I sucked my teeth and then breathed out.I knew they wouldn’t have sent the picture to me without a reason.Whoever had sent it must have something up their sleeve and I needed to find that out immediately.When I got outside the company, my driver was alre
“You do too much, don’t you?” Lyra breathed out as she settled on the chair Mason pulled for her and then dropped her bag on the table.“It’s never too much, princess,” he chuckled as he settled in his seat.The waiter arrived after a few seconds, took their order and after he left, Mason pulled closer and then asked, “What time will you be done at work today?”“Six.”He nodded his head and then fiddled with the key in his hand.Their order arrived, and in silence, they started to eat.They hadn't eaten for long before Lyra raised her head and then asked, “How is it going?”“What?”“You mentioned that you’ve started an investigation regarding Kevin. I wanted to know if you found anything?”“Is there anything you wanna know?” He asked and she breathed out.Lyra sat upright, crossed her legs, and then answered, “There is someone behind them.”“You knew that too?!” He exclaimed, and then sat upright too.“Why that reaction?” Lyra raised her brows in suspicion.“N… nothing.”“Are you hidi
It’s been over an hour since Angel left the office, and she had been working ever since till it was time for lunch.Violeta had come to her a few minutes back to inform her and she had told her to go for her own break and that she would take care of herself.While she worked, her head buried in the computer in front of her, she heard the door open, and then she said while slowly raising her head.“Don’t tell me you had lunch already? It’s just…”“Mason!” She exclaimed and leaned back.“Hi, princess,” he tilted his head, his hands dipped in his pockets.“You… you really came,” she glanced at the wrist watch and then pushed the chair back.“I told you,” he removed his hands from his pocket and then moved over to her.“Your office is so nice,” he commented as he looked around.“Thank you,” Lyra nodded her head.He settled on the chair right in front of her and then trailed his fingertips on the glass frame.“This is even nicer,” he said.“I told you we didn’t need to do this,” Lyra breat
“I am Violeta, your personal assistant. Violeta Miller.”I nodded my head as I fully settled in my seat and then bored my eyes on the glass plate and then my name that was imprinted on it.The CEO, Lyra Henderson.“Hi, Violeta,” I tore my eyes off the plate and then looked at her.The hiring team had hired her and I had a virtual interview with the women they chose and Violeta was my choice.“So, what is it for today?”“I have drafted your schedule for today, and the first on the list is the meeting with the executives. It starts in thirty minutes,” she said and I glanced at my wrist watch.“You have a meeting with the CEO of B‘n’B cosmetics by 11PM. There is also a meeting with…”“One step at a time, Violeta. Okay?” I chuckled and she smiled back.“Yes, ma’am. I’ll be in my corridor over there. Please, reach out to me when you need me. Here is the paperwork that needs to be sorted out. I’ll come to you in thirty minutes for your meeting.”I nodded my head and watched as she exited th
It was a Monday morning, and I had woken up way before my alarm had gone off. This wasn't because I was battling with insomnia or anxiety. It was simply because I was resuming my work today as the CEO.I knew I would do well.I knew I had what it takes to run the group so I no longer worry about that.I was just worried. How they will regard me. If they also thought it was okay to lead them.Although they had no choice but to follow me, I still wanted it to be on their own accord.I finished schooling at twenty-one and for three years, I had worked in one of my father's companies.This was because I knew I was going to take over someday, so, the lawyer and Mr. Jang had talked me into it.I finished my business in the bathroom and then wore the beautiful two piece corporate wear that I had gotten just a week before.It was red pants, and I wore a white shirt before the red jacket. After I was done, I settled in front of the mirror and did a little bit of facial care.Then, I slid into
“You can come in!” I sat upright as I heard the voice of Mr. Jang.He came in with a smile and a tray in his hand and I chuckled. “What are you doing?”“Your tea,” he smiled as he got to the nightstand and then dropped the tray on it.“Are we really going to do this here?” I asked, laughing as he poured the tea.“I didn't follow you all the way here, madam, just for a chat. You are like a daughter to me and I have vowed to take care of you till the very end.”“So sweet, and don't call me your madam,” I snapped my brows at him and he chuckled.“You are forever my child, mistress. You do not have to worry.”I smiled widely and nodded my head. “Thank you, Mr. Jang. for being here with me, thank you.”He nodded his hand and then handed the mug of the brewed tea to me and I collected it from him.Two weeks ago when I just returned from the future, I had been having trouble sleeping at night and I had mentioned it to the man.That night, he had brewed a tea which he had to be a mixture of C
