Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 17

VICTORIA’S POV

Standing before the high-tech building of “E Shine,” I inhaled a sharp breath.

I noticed an unusual feeling inside as I looked up at the structure, and my heart was racing very fast. This is E Shine, one of the best jewelry design companies, and I am the heiress of this business, set up by my grandfather.

When I was younger, my parents and I often visited this place. People used to love me so much and called me the Princess of E Shine.

Years later, here I am once again. But the situation is totally different. Except for a few people, no one knows about my real identity. As Victoria Blake, today I will officially join as the company’s chief designer.

But I will not let that deter me from achieving my goal. The only thing I care about is me, my child, and my family.

Inhaling another deep breath, I stepped inside the company. I saw David, Antonio’s assistant waiting for me as he greeted me with a nod.

He did not go overboard because I had clearly warned him and Antonio not to be overly concerned toward me and let people know.

He led me inside and took me to the 9th floor, at Antonio’s office.

“Thank God, you are fine. He didn’t bully you?” Antonio rushed beside me and asked. His jaw set firm, making me smile.

“Do you think it’s easy to bully, Victoria Edwards?” I raised my eyebrow in challenge, which softened his expression a bit.

“I am proud of you, doll,” he said softly, kissing my head. “So? Excited about your first day?”

“Umhm. Let’s go,” I replied with confidence.

Soon, Antonio gathered the whole design department in the huge hall of E Shine. Afterward, everyone showed up with confused faces due to the quick call from the director.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make. A few days ago, our chief designer Miss Brown retired, and many discussions about the post were held. But not anymore; we have found our new chief designer.” He looked at me and said. “Now, please introduce yourself to your future colleagues.”

With a smile, I stepped forward, nodding at him and toward the employees. “Thank you, director Antonio, for this opportunity. I am Victoria, the new chief designer of E Shine. I hope for your support and acceptance to work here.”

A feeling of belonging washed over me as I took in the resounding applause. It felt so warm, and a sense of pride rise through me. The start of my journey. My career.

“Ladies and gentlemen, as miss Victoria said, I hope you will support her through the journey. From here, she will take over the responsibilities from Miss Shane.” Antonio pointed toward a blonde woman. Then he turned his gaze to me. Since Miss Brown departed, I’ve been assisted by Miss Shane. I thought you should know that, Miss Victoria. I have a meeting to attend. This is yours now. Take care.”

“I will...” And with my reply, Antonio left.

The moment he left, I heard rushed murmurs from the employees. I could not catch all their words but got a few.
