She was so happy when she saw him, to know that he kept his promised to her. She just never expected that he would bring her to his office. She had never gone there before; because she was scared of the way how people will look at her.
She didn’t sit down but kept looking around the office. It was spacious and lovely. She couldn’t believe that this was the place where her husband come to work every day. Will she get to work in an office too one day?
What would be her future holds? She had so may questions but those would be answered when the time come.
“ Come and sit, I have something that I need to discuss with you, “ Sean said and she went to sit on one of the couches.
“ What is it? Is anything wrong? “ she asked him worriedly now.
“ Nothing is wrong, I just wanted to hear your opinion on something, “ he clarified and she felt at ease.
“ Okay, ask right away I’m listening, “ she said.
“ What do you think about working again while you still go to school? “ He asked her. Why would he ask her such a question?
“ Is the company goin broke or something like that? Am I spending a lot? “ she asked wondering whether she was a problem.
How could he suddenly ask her that when he was the one who told her to stop working after his proposal? .
“ It’s not like that at all. I was just thinking that you would love that too. Since you want to be someone who can proudly stand by my side, and not be ridiculed by anyone, “ he explained.
She was just listening to him and it all made a perfect sense. Because she had nothing to bring to the table, that’s why she had always looked down upon herself, she saw herself as a useless being but since he was asking it meant that he was going somewhere with his story and she was going to hear him out.
“ So, did you have something for me? “ she asked onto him.
“ Yes, I do, but if you don’t want it … I will not going to force you, “ he said.
“ Just tell me. If it can help you then I am willing to do anything. I want to be that kind of wife that can help you even if it’s just a small thing, “ she said; she really wanted to be of help to him.
She knew just how much he suffers because of his birth. They didn’t take him serious since he was not a bloodline of the Sawyer.
“ I would like you be the face of the group, “ he said and she choked on herself. She knew exactly what he was talking. That wasn’t a joke at all. Being the face of such a company would require years of experience. She didn’t know anything to be the face of the company.
“ Is not that too much for someone like me? “ she asked her husband, fearing the weight of the cross that she was about to carry.
“ How many times did I tell you not to look down upon yourself? I need you to be strong and tell yourself that you can do it. Can you do that for me? “
She could hear encouragement and disappointment in his voice. Why did she keep on doing this all the time? She had to grow up and start thinking and acting like a madam.
“ I can do it. What do I need to do? “ she asked him.
“ Good, …. Just keep that confidence and I will guide you all the way. You just have to sign the contract first, and see if the terms are good for you, “ he said and put some documents in front of her.
She had never thought that one day she will be having a deal with her husband. That was her first contract and formal business. This was good news, her parents will be very proud of her. She took the documents and began to read through them.
She understood almost everything that was written there, she was after all a business major student. She was surprised by the amount of money that was written in the contract. Was that even true?
She looked at Sean and he nodded in response. The terms and conditions seemed fine and since he gave it to her it means she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. She was going to trust him, so she signed the contract.
“ Thank you for doing this, “ Sean said and she smiled at him. she was happy that she had done something that was a great help to her husband.
This was going to be one hell of a marriage but who cares? She got herself a job and she was going to send her parents some money without feeling guilty about it. She got an opportunity to work with her husband and make a name for herself. After this no one was going to trample on her, she could feel it.
Everything was about to change and she could see that, it was all for the better. She was going to become the wife and woman that her husband would rely on at any time. She was going to protect him at all cost.
