VIOLET'S POV "Are you comfortable?". I asked concerned Luther was sited on the leather executive chair, I sat opposite of him " I think you should be the one here Violet, I am just your eyes remember?". I smile "Well, you won't be forever. Don't worry about me, I'll be right beside you". I guess when I mean it won't be forever it means as long as this marriage continues, I don't know why but deep down it makes me feel-this isn't just about me. I hear him sigh " So, where do we start?". "I'm way ahead of you, Jesse has been trying to get the Boilers to partner with us, Lexi is her father's only heir, and her brother is in Rehab. The problem is men, well the board, they don't believe a woman is capable of running such a big business, so I'm very sure Jesse must have said something to her to piss her off". "Do you think she'll reconsider if we approach her?". " She might, if we are smart enough to say the right thing, so far his father still runs things, but hea slowly leaving
LUTHER POV Leo drives us to Zara's residence. We get down from the car, Violet and I walk forward, and I ring her doorbell. "Who is it?". A threatening voice asks from a microphone, I see a small camera and put my face in front of the camera I gulp "We are from Chad's, I'm Luther Benjamin-Kim and Violet Anthony Chad". Violet decided to keep her last name when we got married "Give me a second then". I look at Violet who stood awkwardly, she's nervous, I've heard a lot about chairwoman Zara and she's a tough nut, first day of work and I'm already, working. Suddenly the voice comes back "Come in". We hear a lot of locks, and the big front door slowly opens. We enter the house and it's bigger on the inside, it looks like those rich Indian houses. " The chairwoman is in the greenhouse, I shall escort you both". The big tall bald guard said with his threatening voice. "Okay". Violet mutters I take her hand and we both follow the guard. The greenhouse is beautiful, has a lot of love
VIOLET'S POVWe left the office by 6 pm, the minute I got home I felt extremely tired.I fall on the bed, today wasn't so bad. I wonder what Mr Victor was referring to, I don't recall my father ever giving me something like that, the only thing my father gave me that was precious was my mother's necklace. I hear the door open follow by footsteps, it's definitely Luther.He falls on the bed and groans "I'm exhausted"." You did well today".He whines "Do we have to go again tomorrow?"." Of course". I feel Luther's head on my lap, I sit up straight "What are you doing?". "This is the part were you pamper your husband".I scoffed "You better take your head off my lap"."Do you want me to call Amanda?". My eyes widen "You..." I sigh "Okay fine". I carefully locate his head with my hands, and brush his hair with my fingers gently "You did good". I whispered awkwardlyHe groans "This is nice". Luther's hair is really soft" Luther?"."Yea?"." What's the colour of
LUTHER'S POV I enter the building and wore a confident look. As I walk I made sure to give a quick nod to those who greet me, for what I know I'm in the tigers' den. I was about to enter the office when I see "Lana?". She raises her head and her eyes widen "Luther? What are you doing here?" her desk is right next to the office. "I work here now, wait, you work for me?" She smiles a little "I guess so, I'm the secretary to whoever works in that office. Of course you have others". I nod "I see. You're fired". I immediately enter the office. She storms in "You can't just fire me without a reason". I take my seat crossing my legs on top of the table shaking them "How about this, the fact you work here bothers me". She shrugs "I don't give a flying fuck. Luther, for once think about me, if not think of Lisa, how else do I feed her huh?" "You can get another job, you are a graduate". She scoffs "Yea but this is one of the best jobs, the pay here I can't get anywhere else".
"So she agreed to Partner with us?" Violet ask curiously I open the fridge bringing out a bottle of water "Not exactly we're still on the talking phase". "I guess you can handle things without my help". I open the cap and drank in one gulp "Yea.. I told you I'm good at convincing people". She giggles, I throw the empty bottle away. "She's a lot like you, you know". Violet scoffs "She's better, she knows how to carry herself". "That's it, she knows how to hide her fears, that doesn't make her better than you sweetheart". She doesn't say anything "I'll go to bed now, Join me later?". She nods, I go to our bedroom. I take off my suit, my phone suddenly rings, I pick it up. "Hello?". "Dad". A smile slowly appears on my face "Hey kiddo, thought you weren't talking to me". "Can I come stay with you?". I scratch the back of my head "Why? Everything with your mum okay?". "Yea... I don't- just please let me stay with you?" "How about this, after your exams you can come sta
VIOLET'S POV Amanda assists me down the stairs, I guess now I have two problems, not being able to see and walk, and now my staff is serving two purposes. She sits me at the dining table and serves me breakfast, I suddenly smell something familiar, well someone "Good morning". She said in her pitched voice I smile knowing who it is "How was your night Lisa?". "Good, I slept well, Amanda has been good to me". "That's good to hear". I carefully search for my fork, Amanda puts it in my hand. I hate when things like this happen in front of someone, it makes me feel incapable "Thank you, Amanda". "Just doing my job". I let out a sigh as I eat my breakfast, scrambled eggs "So you have school today?" "No, I don't it's teachers' day ". I nod "Oh, uhm there's something called teachers day?" "Yea, it's just a day break" I nod "Oh I guess that makes sense". I've been homeschooled all my life I don't know anything about teachers' day. "I'm sorry for invading your home like this". I fin
