You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 62

Arabella woke up with her phone ringing.

That was the only time she realized that she was almost late for work again.

“Hello?” She hurriedly answered her phone preparing her ears for another roaring morning of her manager.

“You don’t need to report in the office now.” Her manager frankly said.

Hearing clearly her manager, Arabella was dumbfounded.

“Sir, please do not fire me. I promise not to be late anymore and I promise to go to the office 1 hour ahead of our regular office time.” Arabella got all her words straight out before her manager could hang up the phone.

“Who said I am firing you?” The manager almost choked himself from laughing.

“What? But you said I’m not going to report in our office.” Arabella was confused and a little relieved.

“You got the promotion in our head office. Pack your things now and head to Capital Z. You will be the manager of NZ cosmetic in Capital Z.” The manager announced.

Froze on her spot, Arabella was trying to absorb her manager’s words. Capital Z was like waving at her to come back. She could always decline her mom’s request, but not her job. Anyway, what was she afraid of? She already saw Bill’s wedding with Brittany. There’s no more reason for her to feel like they have unfinished business with Bill. Letting go of all that concerned about Bill Sky would be her best option to get her own happiness in life.

“Arabella are you okay?” Jamie had pitied her daughter. She always caught her uneasy and not in her usual self.

“Mom, I have decided to go back to Capital Z now.” Arabella simply answered her. Her voice was unhappy nor happy. It was just cold and tired.

“What made you do my request?” Jaime was excited that finally her daughter would go back to her husband.

“It’s my work mom. They transferred me there and I got promoted.” Arabella had a glint of excitement when she thought of her promotion.

“Well then, that’s good. Maybe destiny made its way for you to come back to your husband.” Jaime was happy that showed in her voice. She had full of hope with their love for each other. If she only knew the true relationship of Bill and her daughter.

Arabella didn’t move and sighed heavily.

“Okay mom. I have to go now. Please take care and dad. I will visit you once in a while.” Arabella checked on her dad and went out quietly.

In Capital Z.

NZ cosmetics welcomed her as their new manager. Someone ushered her to her office and introduced the staff, after roaming around the entire 5-story building. The head office was enormous compared to its 3-story building in N city.

Tall and huge buildings, full of busy people, street with luxury cars, so Capital Z. In the café just across their building, she sat while drinking her coffee. She was prepared for her new job role in this city and she was open for any opportunities including new romance.

When her coffee break was over, she headed back to her office. Just when she was about to pressed the elevator’s close button, a man suddenly put her arm in the middle of the opening to block the closing then he quickly jumped inside. The vibe he brought send Arabella a little curious. He was wearing a suit and a tie, but he paired it with jeans and sneakers. The look was not odd, but more like fashionable. He was striking hot with his tall and sexy figure.

“New here?” The voice of the man echoed inside the elevator.

Feeling a little shame on herself, that she realized that she had been staring to the man for quite a long time.

“Hmm… Yes.” She smiled with blushy cheeks.

“Your name?” The man asked with a cute smile.

“Oh! I’m Arabella Jones, I’m the newly assigned manager.” She smiled sweetly. It was just appropriate for her to be friendly with her co-employees. Her fresh start would require a good environment, especially in her working place.

“Oh! So, you’re the new operation manager.” The man was quite satisfied with her answer and smiled back at her.

“Ding!” The elevator sounded that meant Arabella had reached her floor.

“I’m going. Bye!” She hurriedly strode out. Then on her way, she realized, she hadn’t got his name but when she turned around the elevator was already closed. She sighed and continued her walk to her office.

“Ms. Jones, we have a meeting with the director today at 3 pm. It was required that every Wednesday all managers and assistants will meet him for reporting.” Lizzy, her assistant manager said.

“Sure. Please give me an hour to study every document here on my table. Then will go up.” Arabella said while inspecting the time in her watch. They still have 30 minutes left after 1 hour enough for them to go up to the director’s floor.

One hour was too fast, they head up to the director’s floor and went to the conference room directly. In a long rectangular table, almost all of the managers and their assistants were already there. Though she was the newest, Arabella entered the room with full of confidence and wore her friendliest smile. She was dazzling with her formal coat paired with a short skirt that exposed her long white flawless legs. Heads were all turned at her presence that made her a little nervous but still managed to display her cool in front of everyone.

She sat on her designated place and behind her was Lizzy, her assistant who was all prepared for taking notes and minutes of the meeting.

Just when the door on the side of the conference opened.
