All Chapters of After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Drake's POV Why now, of all times, was the news of our breach leaked? “How many people know of the breach in this company?” I asked Racheal, my secretary, while leaning on the edge of my office desk. “I can't tell how many people know about it, sir; the only thing that I am sure of is that the two executives of the company know, but I don't think the information has gotten to the shareholders yet,” she answered with a more free tone. My behavior during the past few days has been nothing if not peaceful and calm. I sucked the air through my teeth and slowly rubbed the little hair that was already growing in my jaw. They are already coming out again, even though it hasn't been up to a week since I shaved them off.They weren't of any concern to me right now; I have more serious issues to deal with. I am pretty sure that this breach will affect us sometime in the future, and it might even be closer than I think, which is quite scary. “We suffered a leak of information, Racheal. Wh

Drake's POV “Mr. Watson, good day, sir,” a female stretched her hand out to me for a handshake with a neutral expression plastered on her face. I slightly rose, accepted her handshake, and replied, “Nice to meet you too.” “Mr. Watson,” a masculine voice called immediately after, and he also stretched his hand out for a handshake, which I accepted firmly, and nodded my head once. “You can have your seat.” I pointed to the two chairs opposite me and slowly had my seat. Looking at them keenly, I could tell that they weren't the people I had called for a meeting with. The man spoke first, answering the question on my mind: “You don't have to look so surprised, but do we really not look like people who can own Avatar Inc.?” “I am not one to judge a book by its cover; that is why I didn't voice my thoughts and instead waited for you to introduce yourselves,” I answered. “Well, it seems like your thought is actually right; we are not the owners of Avatar Inc.; instead, we are represe

Drake's POVI didn't waste time in signing the partnership deal with Avatar Inc. At first I had thought that something shady would have been in the document that had been sent to me, but it turned out to be as clear as it could be and was supposed to be. Days slowly passed after we made our partnership known to the government and officials. Just as both of us had thought it was a good idea and a reason to keep us going in this deal. We were on par with the legacy companies that way. We made it past the remaining stages in peace until the last one, where the people who got the contract would be called. The government decided to make it an official announcement, more like a press conference combined with the announcement. Not every single person competing for the deal had been called forth; only those that made it to the top three were called forth. A news lady approached me with a mic held in her right hand and a cameraman following her closely behind. She stopped right in fron

Charlotte’s POV Slowly days passed by; nothing much happened until the first scheduled meeting the government had with my company and Watson Holdings. Just as expected, Drake was the one that showed up for the meeting. It was an important one; there was simply no way that he would have sent a representative, just the same way I wouldn’t have sent any representative to the meeting and would have begged Sawyer to help me deal with whatever would have kept me busy if it couldn’t be postponed. “It’s nice to meet you, Miss Charlotte Torres and Mr. Drake Watson,” the government representative said to welcome both of us when he made his way inside. “I will be the one representing the government for these meetings and almost everything that has to do with the contract,” the man, clearly around his mid-sixties, said to us with a faint smile that didn’t last long on his face. He sat at the head of the long rectangular table and slid documents to both me and Drake. “That is the first

Drake's POV At that moment she turned to look in my direction, and our eyes met.No emotion, blank expression on her face, the same way it has been for quite a while. She turned her gaze away from me to face the young man beside her; it seemed like he was saying something. For the first time since I've seen her after her return, she let out a really genuine laugh, one that was filled with happiness. I tore my gaze away from them and downed the flute of champagne. I was holding down my throat and moved farther away from that scene. "Drake!" A feminine voice called, drawing my attention to her. I turned to stare at the source of the voice, keeping my facial expression blank. "Angelina?" I arched an eyebrow at her in a questioning manner. The petite brunette young lady that seems to be around my age folded her arms on her chest and said, "Don't tell me you forgot my name." "Okay, I won't tell you I did," I replied with a shrug. "Do you even remember me?" She questioned with a s
