Chapter Ten
Two days later Sarah went to the Reeds cooperative to discuss a new project, and as soon as she stepped into the building one of Nathan's men led her to his office.
When they got there she knocked at the office door, only when she heard come in did she go in.
In the spacious and bright office Nathan was seated behind his desk he leaned in lazily at his chair. A document lay In front of him he skillfully twirled a pen between his long fingers. Hearing the door open he lifted his head, having a bit of a smile on his face. “Ms. Irish, please have a seat.”
Seeing a face that bore some resemblance with his son. Sarah felt uneasy, maybe it was probably because his son had caused some trouble two days ago.
She sat for a moment then went straight to the point “ Mr Nathan the first step in a collaboration between international fashion and the Reeds cooperative I propose we create a new brand and launch it to test the market.
Nathan's expression was somewhat nonchalant, his strong eyebrow slightly raised as he slowly replied “Ms Irish, if I recall correctly your main focus is haute couture.”
Sarah nod, as the chief designer, her work wasn't always hectic mainly handling exclusive custom orders from high profile clients or designing key prices for the shows.
For this collaboration she said, “Everyone wants to break into the market, for now haute couture is the best and to ensure a smooth collaboration, I will work directly with your company's designers, so starting today I would like to join the Reeds cooperative design department.”
Seeing Sarah's serious demeanour, Nathan nod in agreement.
Sarah signed in relief. She never expected him to accept eagerly. She was about to leave when the door clicked open with a voice
“ Nathan I made your favourite” Emma's voice rang.
When she walked in and saw Nathan with Sarah, she froze.
This past two days she hasn't seen him so she decided to come today with his favourite food hoping to find favour in him. A bitter anger rose in her even though she wasn't able to find anything out of her step sister, she believed she was hiding something.
Her face twisted in anger as she glared at her, her eyes turning red.
Sarah, noticing it, stood up, “Mr Reed I don't think there's anything else here for me I will take my leave.” with that she turned to leave.
Emma, who was already filled with rage, her hands clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms with a slight pain, she strode forward, and stood at the door not letting Sarah leave.
“Why did you suddenly want to leave, because I entered?”
Sarah smiled, not saying anything “Mr Reed could you please tell your fiancé to get out of my way?”
“Emma leave the door” his voice cold and commanding,
Emma stiffened instantly, shocked that Nathan was taking Sarah's side.
Seeing that Emma had left the door side, Sarah took the opportunity to leave immediately.
When Sarah had left. Emma turned to Nathan who was still glaring menacingly at her, and asked him “Why did you take her side, when you know she had bad intentions, because if she doesn't why would she leave immediately I came in?”
“Leave” his cold voice came again, “She was here to discuss work, I told you if you have any beef with her go meet her. Do not repeat this attitude again, now leave my office.”
Emma felt humiliated, in her heart she had been nothing but kind to Nathan Reeds even making his favourite food and bringing it to him, yet he wants her to leave, biting her lips hard, her eyes welled up with tears, she sniffled looking pitiful “ Nathan I'm just worried that Sarah might be deceiving you all, she is two-faced.”
Nathan brow furrowed, his long fingers tapping impatiently on the table “Sarah is someone the Reeds cooperative is looking to partner with, it's not your place to interfere."
The cold voice echoed in the room,Emma looked up meeting his icy gaze, it made her step back in fear. Leaving her with no other choice but to leave.
Emma was fuming when she went to her car, she grabbed her staring so tight that her knuckles went white. She drove straight to the Reeds family estate.
It's already noon and Sarah was about to leave, her phone buzzed and it's a message from her father she ignored. She had made sure they knew nothing about her kids; she wiped every traceable thing about them.
She had thought Nathan would bring up the topic of his son and DNA but he didn't say anything, and she wouldn't be the one to raise the topic, unknown to her that Nathan was doing it privately.
Adin the genius was one step ahead of them, as he decided to order for a wig for both him and her sister Aria they would be wearing to school because he knew Nathan's men might come at any time.
Across the city at Nathan's office, his assistant approached him, “Sir we would go this noon at his school to collect the sample, he informed him.
Make sure you approach him carefully and not scare them, do a neat work that does not attract attention.
The assistant nodded and turned to leave but Nathan’s voice came again low and sharp
wait
The air in the room changed heavy like something was about to happen
Nathan leaned back slowly his eyes darker now no trace of that lazy smile his fingers stopped moving on the table
“Change of plans, his voice was quiet but it carried weight. I'm going by myself.”
The assistant froze he didnt dare question it just nodded and left
At that same time Adin and Aria stopped at the school gate waiting for their mom to come pick them up, his small hand tightening around his bag, his eyes sharp under the wig and then a black car pulled up slowly, right in front of them.
