Chap 56
Sarah
Sarah took a deep breath and knock on the door. Lisa opens the room and was stunned to see Sarah she frowned 'what is it now?'
Sarah try to calm herself..she can do it...'I want to talk'
Lisa arrogantly looked at her 'what else is left to talk...you get it what you want...(she shake her head) I felt bad what happen to you...all the time you were treated wrong by us...but I never thought you will take your revenge by taking my kids right on their forefather inheritance...I'm very possessive about my kids..and I will not tolerate this'
Sarah make a fist 'like you I'm also very possessive about my child...what you think why I'm back to this hell...because of my love for my child....i also don't tolerate a lot of things that happen with Ava behind my back....how she was treated here ....you yourself being a mother can see stuff and still you dint do anything..hell you don't even do anything when roma used to torture me...so technically I'm not surprised if you think I'm taking my revenge on you and your kids ...(Sarah sighs) i never expected anything from this house ....and i just want to tell you i don't said anything to dad regarding inheritance stuff.....it was shocking moment for me too, today I have talked to him and try to make him understand that this money and company are nothing to me so he just change his will but he was very determined not to change....alas I come to a decision myself...'
Sarah making her point very clear 'I don't have anything to make you trust me on this...nor i will try because it's your choice at the end (Sarah looked her in the eyes) but as soon I become the official owner of the assets then I will give all the money to you guys....'
Lisa's eyes were bulging out ... Sarah continues 'just don't tell dad about this... I don't want to upset the only person in this house who considered me a human here.....so Lisa just relax your money will be given to you in a given time...but next time if you accuse me of something like that or even talk to me like I'm the culprit here then my decision can be changed...for our children sake we will try to be civil with each other...you have also hurt me a lot but I'm trying to move on so please don't make this difficult for me'
Sarah walked with high head ...leaving stunned Lisa.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sarah picked her handbag and the mobile that Theo has given her in the hospital...today is her first day in office...she was nervous as hell....after having the intense talk with Lisa ...she feels little light..Like a big burden has been taken from her chest.
she closed her eyes and pray to God everything went smoothly today
she was startled by Theo voice 'Sarah ...you ready'
She turned to see her husband wearing a grey suit and was trying his cuff links...he is really a good looking man but Sarah also know his inner ugly monster too that she still can't take that out of her head
Theo looks up and saw his wife, in a tube type black dress with the white belt ...'you look so beautiful and so professional at the same time' he smiles and graces her cheeks
Sarah blushes and takes a step back and Theo flinched when she did that but Theo didn't say anything
sarah pick her heels and wore them 'you haven't gone to office yet'
Theo looked confused 'i was but I was waiting for you. it's your first day at the company so how can I leave you alone'
Now Sarah looked confused 'but our offices are different....dad told me just a few hours ago that second branch of the company needs a marketing executive, not the main head branch...aren't you working in the head branch?" now that make Sarah little worried
Theo picks his bag 'can we talk this in the car we are already getting late'
Sarah knew something was fishy she opens her mouth to argue more but thoe was already out...she huff and walk down
when they were sitting in the car.
theo adjusted the air condition and his seat belt...and start the engine ...Sarah was looking at him in annoyed expression...what he is waiting for when he will tell her that she is working with him or not
Theo saw his wife glare and innocently asked 'what..why you are giving me death glare'
Sarah folds her arm 'are you going to tell me now'
Theo nodes 'oh yes ..... I was in the main head company but now for the past 6 months I'm working with the second branch ...there was some issued going on that need to be resolved immediately so I went there and managing that now currently'
Sarah frowns 'what? so I will be working with you"
Theo shrugs 'what's the problem with that ..and I think it's more than good as you will be not alone and I will be there for you if you need any assistance'
Sarah close her eyes in frustration 'and I thought I will be away from you..it will help me to explore more and open my mind to different stuff'
Theo looked offended by that 'why you think my presence will be bad for your mental health.... I don't have any intention to harm you' he makes a face
Sarah wanted to lash him that harming her is his second nature. But Theo control it.
She then said in a soft voice 'can I ask you something...please?"
Theo looked her now in softer tone 'of course baby...just tell me I will give you anything'
Sarah takes a deep breath 'i don't want that everyone should treat me differently especially on my first day knowing that in your wife...so can we keep this disclose...'
Theo stop the car in a mid way 'what? and why the hell would I do that...you are my wife why would I hide that...
Sarah eyes were big 'cause i don't want that everyone should be alert around me or should think me some high class person...i want to learn things ...wanted to meet new people and make my own identity ...and that can't happen when my co-workers are not comfortable around me..i want to be respected by my own not by your wife title'
Theo pinched his nose and inhale the air, he started the car.Sarah was worried was this end of discussion or he simply ignored her request
She hesitantly asked 'it's my request Theo and you said yes to that before'
Theo took turn and made a serious face, after a moment 'ok... I will do what you have told me but let me tell you the main marketing manager and other top management know you are my wife so its not my fault they were told about your joining before your request (Sarah looked tense) don't be tense i will tell them to keep this between them and especially your manager ...don't worry no one will know about your marital status ' Theo said with tight voice
Sarah was so relieved...she was finally taking a big step so wanted to do this on her own.
When they enter the personal parking space and Theo parked in his designated area...he looked at Sarah 'this is my private parking space so don't worry noon will see us together....here (he give her an electronic card) use this in off time...it will bring you directly to this parking area no need to go down...' Theo was still disturb and was frowning at Sarah decision
Sarah quietly took the card 'thank you....but it will be much better if i have a car myself...i can drive too....in this way you won't got into any trouble' she said in a uncertain voice
Theo open the car door and also open Sarah and took her out ...he sighs 'please Sarah I'm already not ok with your decision of not telling people that you are my wife and now about car it's out of the line now'
Sarah remove his hand 'how it's out of line...I'm not asking for a new car, you have so many cars...I can use one of them or I can call Mark he can arrange something for me' she said in a composed voice
It hit hard on Theo ego 'don't you do something like that... I can buy you millions of cars ....and anything else...it's not an issue for me but I like the idea of coming with you in the office and taking back your home ...i don't want you to be alone
Sarah and Theo enter the elevator 'Theo this is the second time you said alone....you have left me alone in the prison, I can drive alone too so not a big deal' Sarah jabbed him
Theo close his eyes...he never knew how stubborn she can get....she knew where to hit on his guilty conscious .when the elevator door opens. They enter directly into large shiny marble floor lounge...which was too quite except there was one receptionist and one large door to the next.
The lady came and greets Theo...Sarah observed her...She was really beautiful and attractive...and she felt self conscious around her 'good morning Mr grey ' the lady smile flirtatiously
Theo do not notice her so much which gives Sarah an immense satisfaction..Theo replied 'morning cami....any phone calls or email'
Cami smile again 'no sir all is clear...'
Then Sarah saw cami give her an confusing look 'yes and who are you'
