Joy
Brigitta resumed work the following day at Kenelm LTD. She loved the environment and her welcoming colleague. While busy with work, she received am internal telephone call that the CEO of the company demands for her presence. She was stunned and nervous at such request. Why would the CEO suddenly wanted to see her?
As she walked towards the CEO’s office, she finally assumed that the CEO probably want to see the face of their new staff. Once she got before the door, she knocked gently and a voice spoke from the other end, “come in!”
She twisted the knob and walked in. To her utmost surprise, she saw her ex husband, Alex. Her face deepened at once into a frown. Alex wasn’t this wealthy when she was married to him talkless of being the CEO of a company as big as this.
“Fate brought us together again, Brigitta. I’m glad to see you,” Alex said.
“The opposite is the case for me. What do you call me for?”
“Have your sit,” he gestured and she sat. As she looked at him, she remembered the scene of many years ago, how he was having a threesome with the two people she trusted the most. The more she thinks about it is the more disgusted she was at him. She thought he loved her, she had no idea she was only a pawn in his game.
“I rose to wealth after agreeing to marry your step-sister, our marriage is fast approaching,” he said.
“Congratulations,” Brigitta said simply.
“But that doesn’t mean I have stopped loving you. I only agreed to marry your sister cause of money but I do not truly love her. It’s you that I desire. Brigitta, would you like to become my mistress?”
“What!” Brigitta was shocked at his foolish request. “Do you have a brain at all? You betrayed me five years ago and now that you see me, you told me about who you are marrying then had the gut to tell me to become your mistress. How did you become a CEO with this low thinking faculty of yours?”
“Brigitta!” He called sternly as if he was warning her to watch her words.
“My name doesn’t fit your filthy mouth. If you have nothing reasonable to say, I better take my leave,” Brigitta said, she was enraged.
Alex handed over a cheque to her and on receiving it, she saw that it was the exact same figure of money she needed for her grandmother’s surgery.
Did he know that her grandmother was ill? She wondered and asked, “What’s this?”
“You know what that is, Brigitta. I know your grandmother means so much to you. Accept my cheque and accept to be my mistress,” Alex said.
The mere mentioning of mistress makes Brigitta sick to the stomach. How dare he offer her such ridiculous position. He would never even be his wife again in this lifetime yet he had the mind to ask her to be his mistress. She would rather keep being a wife of the vegetative son of the Wigglesworth’s family than to have anything to do with this jerk seated before her.
She stood angrily and tore the cheque, “don’t ever call me for such silly talks again.”
She then turned and began to walk towards the door.
“Or I can get you fired from my company and ensure no company employs you in this city anymore.” Alex further threatened. “Just accept to be my mistress and your life will be a bed of roses.”
Brigitta turned and said, “Where’s the sack letter?” Seeing that he was quiet, Brigitta knew that he had no intention of firing her, he only wanted to threaten her to bend her to his will, “I’ll resign myself.” Then she walked out.
As she walked away, she felt engrossed with sadness. Why was she so unlucky? Of all companies, it’s her ex husband’s company that employed her. Anyways, her integrity is more important than money.
Brigitta resigned that same day and went to Nikolai’s house. She had missed her kids. She had hid her with kids with Nikolai and had promised to come to them as often as she can. She had to tell the kids she got a job that requires most of her time and attention, she could never tell them that she just married a vegetative man. It will be too embarrassing.
But she confided in Nikolai. Afterall, Nikolai was her bestfriend and bestfriends don’t keep secrets.
Once the kids saw her, they ran to hug her as they had missed her too. She gave the kids the ice creams she bought for them and played with them until Nikolai came. Afterwards, she let the kids go to play leaving her and Nikolai alone in the living room.
“You look very sad, Brigitta,” Nikolai said. He could see it in her countenance, “is it because of your experience at Ragner’s mansion?”
“Not at all. I resigned at work today,” she added, “the CEO is my ex husband.”
“What!” Nikolai was shocked. He spoke after a few seconds, “don’t be sad, Brigitta. That’s not the only company in the city. Although it’s a big company and they pay high, but I’m sure another better company will reach out to you.”
“He threatened that he will not make any company employ me and I’m sure he can do that.” She said and looked at Nikolai with a depressing look, “why is my life so complicated? Can’t I be happy for once?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Nikolai felt very pitiful for her. All of a sudden, her phone chirped. She looked at it tiredly but her eyes suddenly lit up at the notification. “Oh my days!” She screamed on reading the content.
“What?” Nikolai asked curiously.
“Wesson’s Cooperation is the biggest company in the city, right?”
“Not just this city, they are the biggest in the entire continent, why are you asking?” Nikolai answered.
“They just reached out to me. They said they already reviewed my works and that I can resume work tomorrow.” She said.
Nikolai stood happily, “you are not serious, are you?”
“I’m very serious. See it…” Brigitta showed the screen of her phone to Nikolai. On confirmimg, he screamed for joy. They jubilated happily and celebrated it with drinks and cakes for the rest of the day.
