The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) novel Chapter 9

The Boss Is Back 

HANNAH’S POV: 

The moment I stepped into the lobby, all heads turned. There were quiet gasps. Whispers. A few mouths literally dropped open. 

Some of these people had started working with me virtually after the brand expanded. Others had been there in the very beginning back when Lucas and I just started the company and many didn’t even know me./ 

They probably just thought of me as Lucas’ wife or girlfriend. But little did they know. 

“Ms. Jones,” the front desk assistant greeted breathlessly, rising to her feet. “Welcome.” 

“Thank you. Is Maya in?” I inquired, while she stared at me. 

“Yes, ma’am. She’s upstairs in the showroom.” She answered and I nodded. 

Lucas stayed behind while I took the elevator up. My heart pounded in my chest. “You do know you’re their boss and they all have signed an NDA to never disclose your identity unless you approve.” 1 

I smiled nervously and responded, “You’re right…you’re right.” 

But the moment the elevator doors opened, the scent of fabric, perfume, and fresh paper hit me like home. Maya spotted me immediately. She rushed toward me with a grin, hugging me tightly. “You’re really here.” 

“I told you I would come.” I responded hugging her right back. 

“Yes, but seeing is believing,” she told me, pulling back. “You look… expensive.” 

We both laughed. I glanced at Lucas who literally shooed me away while he spoke to some other people. 

She gave me a tour like it was the first time, even though I knew this place like the back of my hand. The showroom was bright and open, racks lined with clean silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, and soft textures. The collection had matured while I was gone, but it still felt like me. 

My latest design was coming together and it made my heart skip in excitement. 

“They never replaced your office and I’m so in love with these new bags designs,” Maya pointed out as we walked down the hallway.
