Chapter 45: Remingthe Shadow
Outside the office, the others were deciding to have lunch with the team, it was in that moment, President Colton walked out of his office. He looked expectantly at the group of hires and
“Headed for lunch!” The other employee, Jack, was startled by this suckden interest.
“Yes, President Colton, I was just going to show them around the best eateries around office. –
Wilkan pretended to look at his watch before humming. “It just so happens that I need to have lunch. I have a table booked at a restaurant, so you all can join me as well,” he prompted so confidently that Luca, who was standing behind William, had to work extremely hard to keep his expression neutral.
So, this was the reason they got to have lunch on time for one day!
con an enthused expression.
Jack locked in Luca’s direction, bewildered about how he should react. Luca shrugged jack deflated before putting on “That would be great. The new hires can get to know you prisonally,”
“I do like knowing the new talents personally.” The little pause was unnoticeable to most, but not Sarah. She kept her gaze indifferent and followed the cur of others. William walked at the very front, an air of authority about him that couldn’t be replicated.
Loca was one step behind him, followed by Carson and Wendy Jack fell back and kept her company. There was a clear hierarchy in front of her, and Sarah felt it acutely from where she was standing. A spark of ambition flashed in her heart. I need to be so successful that can walk beside William and not behind him.”
It was a bold thought, one she took to heart.
They entered a restaurant and they were ushered into a phate room William sat down without prompting and motions everyone to take their seats.
“As it is your first day at the job, I will be treating all of you to this meal,” he announced.
Sarah almost rolled her eyes at the statement
Wendy had a small smile on her lips as she spoke, “William, you really care about the company. You even know it is our first day.
William glanced at her briefly but turned away. Moss Stone, I heard in great detail how each Interview want I am entrenched in the process of hiring because it secures the future of my company.” The way he emphasized on my reminded everyone that he was the heir to the Group.
Carson raised his brow as he looked at Sarah curiously. The Stone girl and the president are quite chummy. Is this a budding romance or is Colton being hunted by the demented Kincaid
Sarah noticed the question in his eyes and shrugged. Though she didn’t want to get too close to people at work, she found a strange sense of camaraderie with Carson. The two of them watched as Wendy tried her best to flatter William and insinuate a relationship
Har actions were particularly eye catching because everyone in the room sed her intention. She was not as sophisticated as her mother, Vera Kincaid, had taught her to be. But she tried
It was a surprise when there was a lock on the door and a waiter peered in William looked up with a Brile irritation but sti “Mr. Colton, the person you are meeting has arrived.” he announced
ushered the waiter over.
Witam leaned forward with a hint of confusion. “I am not meeting anyone today. I am here for a simple lunch. Send them back” i didn’t stop to think about how this other party krav
he was at the time.
The waller retreated but within a few minutes, a man dressed in a well–tailed suited in. He looked like he could sweet–talk or threaten someone’s life savings if he wanted to. No need to announce me. Mr. Colton is waiting for her “His confidence made Sarah furrow her brow
Her back was to the door, so she couldn’t see the man who had entered. She rated her head partially to the side and her eyes widened a fraction. Thankfully, her hair was open that day and she turned her face away in an attempt to hide her face.
Mendez Marcus Mendez. She remembered the macleaily. He had been the one giving her the 500 dollars every year. He had been the one who her father had sent to make her disappear. And he was standing in front of her after so long
She wondered if Mendez would recognize her. Her youthful cheeks had long disappeared and her features had grown aut. She looked nothing like hor former self. Still, she feared “Marcus Mendez, CEO of Mendez Corp,” William said like he was reading a piece of paper. “I wasn’t expecting you here,”
“It is time for our meeting to rather than making an important man like you wait, I found you. I will, of course, not take much of your time. The smile on Mendez’s lips was just righ There was to threat or sign of insincerity. He was so good at acting that it scared Sarah a lie.
She glanced at Wendy to find her looking slightly smug at the turn of events. She looked at Sarah from the corner of her eye and crossed her feet like she was the one in control of the room
Sarah felt a pang of fear. What if Wendy knew who she was and she was testing Sarah?
Sa quirky mamped down the thought. Wendy had even a clue, the would be acting on her knowledge or at least taunting Sarah, calling her a mistress‘ daughter. The air of superiority ro turn to simple hate because they shared genes.
“As you can see, Mr. Mendez, I am in the middle of a meeting. You’re hindering my plans rather than making of my time,” William commented sternly. “You can see yourself out.” He wayed the Lampe away, but the other Mayed pat
Though he didn’t say anything, it was a stance–‘I am not leaving. Make me
Of course, William couldn’t. These he wanted to play was flipped him. The Lawyer had caught him unawares while he just wanted a secret lunch with his secret girlfriend.
They were caught in a stapedown when Carson confidently spoke up. “Our lunch time is over. Resident Colton, thank you for your precious time, but we need to go back to work.” And just like that, the pressure in the room red
Mendelooked at Canon and gave him a small smile. Sarah sighed in relief as all the attention was placed on the other people and the comfortably sat, remaining the shadow
