Все главы After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss : Глава 21 - Глава 30

Charlotte’s POV I looked around, watching the hands that were down slowly rise up; only a few were left down, including mine and Reddington's. I turned to look at Jaden, our newest investor— the representative of our newest investor— raising his hand in support of Drake getting back his position as the CEO. I leaned back on the chair, keeping my face neutral. I had gotten his plan figured out, but it was too late; there was nothing that I could do now to counter it. I had spent my time trying to figure out why the hell the bastard had suggested accepting the capital that was rejected a while back for whatever reason. On the surface there was actually no gain for him for doing that, or that was how it looked like in the beginning, but the dilution had caused most of the negative effects on me. To retain your position as the CEO unopposed, you have to have passed a certain threshold of share percentage, and I had passed it only by a little before, but after the dilution, it

DRAKE’S POV Immediately I walked into my office, a couple of things had changed, like the positioning of the desk and my chair. It was no longer directly opposite the door; it was now to the right-hand side immediately after the door had been pushed open. I moved my head sideways a bit, checking out the whole office. I wonder whose work this was. Aria Night has hired some couple of guys to help her with it; there are chances that she might have gotten bored of the look after spending three years here. There was also the chance that it could be Charlotte if she is not pleased with what the former setting of the office reminds her of. As much as I would have preferred my old arrangements back, there is nothing bad in trying out new stuff. I made my way to the chair and sank into it. First day of work, and I already have a task waiting for me. I picked up the file placed on the table and went through it. Just then, there was a knock on my office. Without taking my gaze of

CHARLOTTE'S POV Another gala in how many weeks? This was the way of the rich: tons of galas and private parties held among each other, most of them to showcase their wealth and quite a few to either catch up or discuss business with fellow businessmen and women and potential partners. I was quite used to the parties; the six years I had spent with my ex-husband had taught me quite a lot, most of them valuable lessons, and one of them is not to believe some of the smiles that are directed to you in parties like this— in fact, most of them.They are mostly fake ones. If you find it hard to believe, then wait till you hear what is being said behind your back. I let out a soft sigh and went inside with Sawyer by my side. “We have a huge discussion to have once we are done with this party,” Sawyer said, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned to look at him briefly. “How serious is it, and would it be a good one?”“Yes, it is,” he answered. I took my gaze off him to stare forward. “

DRAKE'S POV Axiom Engineering Groups. The name was written boldly on a folder. I stared at it with indifference. I remember Charlotte talking about this during the press conference. We would soon have a huge deal between us, a contract that would last for quite a long while. It's been a while since we had a long-term contract like this. The deal was still in progression back then; it had just been signed now. “Mr. Watson,” the CEO of Axiom said with a faint smile and stretched his hand forward for a handshake, which I received firmly. “I hope we do not have any issue during the term of this contract and even beyond that,” I said to him just before we released our grip and let go of each other's hands.“I hope so also, and you don't have to worry about us; we aren't troublesome,” he replied. I escorted him down to the elevator, which was where we bade each other goodbye. I walked back down into my office, and just as I settled down on it, my secretary closed the door behind h

Charlotte’s POV Not long after Sawyer leaked information to me about the government deal, it got announced. During the deal announcement, though, nothing about that crazy condition that Sawyer informed me of was mentioned. For a moment, I had no idea whether it was actually a thing or not. There were two reasons. The first one was that it either was not announced on purpose and was just internal information among them to see who was faster in reacting to the situation, or it meant nothing and was actually just there. There was no reason why the former should be held in the first place. I see no reason why they will want to judge based on those that reacted first, except they plan on leaking the information to a particular company in the first place so they can get the deal.I am here to inform them that they will be making the wrong choice in not giving me that contract. I walked up to the receptionist in the lobby of the government building. “Good day,ma’am, how can we be of he
