Chapter-9 Stuck With Him.
1345 Words
Mrs Smith POV,
I have never felt this fulfilled in my life. In the past months, I was working as the CEO, but today, I was officially installed the CEO of the Wide Range Investment & Marketing Company #2.
Ma'am, yesterday you did a great job with that presentation. One of the ladies complimented me. As we were getting things settled in my new office which used to be Henry's.
For me, it was your dress code. You sure did kill it. Not only did you look stunning, but you also looked much younger. Another said.
Thank you for the compliments. I look forward to having a great working relationship with you all.
They left. Leaving me, my secretary and Henry's.
Among the pile of files that were marked future projects, I discovered a folder that contained a project proposal that was similar to mine. Anyone who had seen my proposal would think that it came from this.
"Oh, this was drafted over a year ago. Initially, my boss planned to present it to the board, but when the day of the presentation came, he changed his mind.
So, yesterday, when I saw your profile and listened to your perspectives as the new director, I was sure that you took a sneak peek at this.
His secretary explained.
Well, even I got shocked upon seeing this. So I'd understand if you or anyone else thinks that I copied this.
Ma'am it's amazing how you and your son had the same thoughts. With you two sync, this company will be one of the best.
Said Rose, my secretary.
Not just my son and I, but you, her, and everybody else together.
" Ma'am, on the contrary, I thought that you were a manipulative mother. And that was the only reason you got this position. But now I can see what my boss saw in you. Please forgive me."
I am glad to hear that, Mia, but I can't forgive you just yet. You will have to earn it just like I prove myself to you.
Turning to my secretary, I told her to field Henry's proposal in place of mine.
Why didn't he go on with this? I kept asking myself.
The minute I got home, I rang Henry's phone. It rang endlessly, but he didn't answer. I went through the rest of his files, and with everyone that I opened, I was stunned. Not only was his father's appearance and character reflecting in him, but he also inherited his business mind.
My question is: why did he write down such brilliant ideas and never share them?
My phone rang. It was a call from Henry. I swapped my finger across the screen, and he came into sight. He was all wet from head to toe. His body was covered in droplets of water, with some running down his face. He had never looked more handsome than now.
"Mom, are you okay? Did something happen at work?
I saw like a thousand missed calls from you. "
Relax, I am absolutely fine, although something did happen at work. Which we will talk about after you get yourself dried up and put on some comfortable clothes.
"As you wish, Mama, but stay on the call. We have a whole lot to talk about.
I'm calling Kayla to keep you company."
Henry said as he disappeared from the screen. In a moment, I saw her approaching.
On the contrary, though Kayla is Alex's niece, I didn't mind having her as a daughter-in-law because my issues were with her uncle and not her. Moreover, Henry did love her, and whomever he loved, I could find a way to love too.
"Hey Mrs Smith! You look fantastic. What have you been up to? It's like that job got you on your toes. You looked all made-up and pretty. Which will make people doubt that you are my mother-in-law. I guess I will just introduce you as my sister-in-law to avoid commotion.
As they say, dear, dress for the job. Which is exactly what I'm doing.
So, dear, are you enjoying your vacation? Because you look tensed.
Did he start behaving like his father? I joked.
Before she could answer, Henry came running back, and she left.
Hey Mom, I am back, so what happened at work?
Henry, are you two having problems? Kayla doesn't seem much happy, and so do you. What are you two fighting about?
"Mom, we are fine, I guessed we look like this only because we are tired from all the activities."
Enough about me. Let's talk about you. Yesterday, you did super great, and that deliberation was incredible.
Thanks for the compliments.
And since you're avoiding my question about your relationship, let's talk business then.
I found some documents, which I believe you already know what I'm talking about. So, I would like to know why you didn't push through with them? They are all brilliant ideas. Do you know how much investment those ideas could have generated for you and the company?
"And that is the exact reason I couldn't push through with them. In this system, Dad is to be in the lead always, and those ideas could have made me look like his competitor. I don't want to be my Dad's competition."
If I had seen yours before submission, I would have advised you to do the same. In fact I think that you should do the same it is not too late.
Too late, sweetie, because I already submitted yours and asked the team to start working on it.
Why would you hide your self-worth? Isn't it every father's dream to see their offspring surpasses them with their achievement? So what makes you think that your Dad won't be super proud of your ideas?
Mrs Smith, could you please call him back later? I need Henry to assist me with something. It's urgent and might take a long time too. So if you don't mind, could you excuse us?
Kayla interrupted.
I could tell from her look that something was wrong and whatever it was, it had something to do with me. Before I said goodbye, the call was ended.
"Here you are, my darling wife!
Jacob poked me in the side.
I was overwhelmed by how you left everyone speechless yesterday."
Oh really? Now I guess that you won't be pessimistic about my abilities, right?
About that, darling, after I saw that video of you, I was so impressed, and I wanted to get you a deserving reward, like a whole night of passionate lovemaking.
Hehe! I laughed. Really, Jacob? So, you believe that my greatest desire or what i deserve as a reward is you making love to me? Oh, please... sweetheart, I am so content with what I've got.
Quite the pretense darling, and let be frank. Every night I watch you go to sleep, with desperation in you. Oh, how much you longed to be touched.
He came very closer and pulled down his pants,
Take a look at these. He ordered,
"Can you compare them to those artificial ones?
He bent over my shoulders and muttered to me:
"No matter how many upgrades those things go through. They can not give you the pleasure and satisfaction of a real man."
Pulling his pants back up, he stepped backward, and he continued,
"Unfortunately, for you, you lost your chance after I found out that you never did that proposal on your own. You paraphrased Henry's work and presented it as if it were all yours. Good thing I got to see the original copy before I did the final signing."
What final signing? Wait! Does this indicate what I am thinking? Like, are you telling me that you get to attest everything?
Oh my God! No..way!
Yes, way! That legally makes me your husband, boss, and your nightmare! Haha!
I am your god on this earth!
I felt sick to the stomach immediately! I needed to come up with something to get he out of my way.
