SOPHIE’S POV


    As I was driving to work, I wondered to myself if what Davis had said were true or they were just the regr talks to upset me.


    Davis’s remarks about Karl’s ex-wifeing back upset me since it implied that my stay in his house would be short – lived. I knew it was a temporary contract but this meant I had to leave earlier than anticipated. “Was ire trulying back?” I wondered.


    I shook my head, not wanting to think that Karl would allow her return after hurting him so much when she asked for a divorce. He had said he did not want to have anything to do with her after what she did. ” But what if, for the sake of his son, he changed his mind?” I pondered.


    I shook my head again not wanting to think about the implications of her return. ” What is going to happen to my ns then?.” I questioned myself. ire’s return was going topletely wreck everything for me and I was not sure I was ready to leave Karl just yet.


    The traffic light turned red and indicating a stop, so I applied the brakes, almost breaching a drivingw because my mind was preupied with ire. Even though she had not arrived yet, she was already too much of a hassle.


    I sighed heavily as I wondered what would happen if she did return, as I hought about the situation, I could only hope she remained where she was, at least till the contract was done.


    The traffic light soon turned green and I was allowed to go, I continue my trip to the office, trying to wave off the thoughts about ire and concentrate on driving so I would not have an ident.


    ” Those are just Davis words, it might not be real.” I thought to myself as I decided to think about other things and my mind drifted to Ryan. After all, my efforts in getting a job in Karl’spany was all to get back at him. I smirked as I thought of my ns as I drove to the office. ” Ryan was in for it.”I mumbled.


    The car soon came to a halt. I rested my head on the steering wheel for a few moments before retrieving my bag and leaving the car.


    “Two weeks Sophie and all of this is done.” I mumbled as I raised my head to leave the car. My excitement for beginning today’s work was short-lived when thement about ire’s return came. I never thought there would be a time when I did not want ire to return, but here it was. I did not want her back just yet, but just now I need to put my n into action. I groaned again as I got down from the car.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    I needed to confirm from Karl anyways or I did not need to bother about it too much. I headed to the office, trying to wave off the thoughts about ire and prepare for the day’s work.


    “Wee, ma’am,” one of the employees said as I entered the office. The smiles on their faces as they greeted me appeared odd. “Did Karl inform everyone that I wasing? Why did they seem excited to see me?” I puzzled and just then one of the workers hurried in to take my stuff.” I could get this up for you, ma’am,” she offered, motioning for me to let her take the bag.


    ” It is not a bother, thank you anyway.” I replied as I headed down the hall.  The unusual reception made me question what was going on.


    “They believe I am ire.” I grinned, thinking that was why I had garnered so much attention when I entered. I was mistaken for Karl’s wife. “It makes sense why there was a warm reception,” I muttered.


    I entered my new office, sat down in the chair, and turned around to face the office. “Congrattions, Sophie. As I settled into my new role as Karl’s secretary, I could not help but worry about Ryan and how everything was going to work out. However, as the day progressed and I became more involved in my work, Ryan and the ire receded into the background.


    Karl was not in his office as I arrived, he had gone out for. sime business meeting already.


    I focused on my tasks, organizing Karl’s schedule, managing his emails, and handling any other administrative duties that came my way. I was appreciative for the opportunity and eager to prove myself in my new role, maximising it for my personal benefit.


    But, deep down, a part of me still wondered about Karl’s secretary; I had no idea what had caused her to be engaged in whatever had urred, resulting in her suspension, but I was d it happened. I hoped she was okay and that all would work out for her in the end.


    As time passed, I realised that things happen for a purpose, as Iter learnt that he had suspended his secretary for two weeks for something she did, which was why there was an opening for me. I was overjoyed with the offer and relieved that the secretary had done something. I mean, if she was still there, there was no way I could have gotten the chance to work at the office.


    I had two weeks right before she resumed to carry out my n. Perhaps Ryan’s involvement, as well as his secretary’s suspension, led me to this new opportunity. I was d for the opportunity to work with Karl and eager to explore where this new chapter of my life would lead me.


    As I sat in, a woman walked briskly into his office, “I want to see him.” She said chewing gum in an uncultured manner as she walked to where I was. When I raised my head to look at her, she beganughing.


    “You are his secretary now?” Thedy said as she stepped in, and I wondered what she meant. Sheughed heartily which was embarrassing. ” What was she and why was sheughing like that?” I questioned myself as I tried to fake a grin. ” Yes I am,” I responded as I felt a rush of anger and embarrassment as the woman continued tough at me.


    “Who was she, and why did she act like she knew me?”  Trying to maintain myposure, I stood up from my desk and faced her directly.


    “Excuse me, but who are you and what do you want?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly. The woman’sughter died down as she looked at me with a mischievous grin.


    “Oh, actress, enough with the act; it disgusts me!” she eximed with a scrowl on her face showing her disapproval of me. My mind raced with questions as I tried to gather myself. ” She knew!!” I muttered as I stared at her trying to her to maintain mypusure.


    But, who was she? And how did she know who I was? I puzzled as I was baffled by everything happening on. ” What was I supposed to do?” I wondered.
