VICTORIA’S POV
My word might sound foreign to Daniel as he stared at me with a “what the fuck you are talking about” expression.
Even though Daniel and I have become very close, almost like siblings, he still doesn't know my real identity. He knows I am Victoria Blake and has a good connection with the company's Director.
He never heard Jayden mention this to him either; otherwise, he would have bombarded me with many questions.
I only smiled at him, keeping it mysterious. “You will soon know what I am talking about. Just do as I say.”
He nodded, his expression serious.
I walked out of the office. For the first time, I'm revealing my true identity. Finally, I'm going to claim what is rightfully mine.
This would cause a major uproar in the corporate world, but it must be done. I can’t take any more risks with my unborn child. If saving this baby needs endless power from my side, I would accept it.
I ran into a rushed and anxious Antonio as I made my way to the conference hall, where Reynolds was attempting to turn everyone against me.
His eyes were cold and furious. I've never seen him so angry; he usually keeps his cool until... Well, I stopped him.
“I will fucking kill him!” He growled. “How dare he bully you! I will rip his tongue off!”
I patted him on his arm. “Calm down, Antonio. I have decided to reveal my true identity. What do you think?”
“Of course, this is obvious! I would have done it today if you didn’t.” He announced with a presidential demeanor.
“Let’s go. I will come with you.” He said, and I nodded in agreement as we made our way to the conference room.
Everyone was furious with their untold expression as we stepped into the hall. I walked in with Antonio right by my side.
All eyes focused on us as we arrived, and their expressions conveyed nothing but disgust. I only imagine how they would react after hearing the reality.
I wish mama and papa would be here; they would be so happy with my decision. This is something they’d always hoped for.
I ignored all the gazes on me. “I am sorry for being late,” I stated.
Antonio sat in the Director's seat, and I moved to the empty chair next to him, which had formerly been reserved for the company's CEO but had been empty for years.
There has never been a CEO in this company. I decided not to accept the position when I wanted to start a new life and instead start my career with a simple background as a designer.
However, Antonio put me in the role of design director, where I had to face many difficulties and challenges in such a short time. Finally, this chair got its owner.
I heard a gasp beside me; It was Daniel. He tensed up and whispered in my ear.
