Chereads / The Chairman's Lost Wife / Chapter 6 - That's more like it

Chapter 6 - That's more like it

Ann was very tired when she reached home. Luckily she had got a taxi without waiting.

She quickly made some instant noodles with eggs.

Then took a quick shower, applied some body lotion, changed into her two strap white night dress and switched on the TV with her noodles in hand.

This was the favorite part of her day. She felt refreshed and stress- free.

Half an hour later she went to bed, but soon realized she could not sleep.

She thought about all the things that happened today.

Ann blushed, thinking of the hug she got.

She suddenly pulled the quilt over her head.

His face popped into her mind. His smile gave her butterflies in her stomach.

A familiar feeling crept in her guts.

"Have I met him before? It seems like I have known him for ages.

His eyes say so."

Ann brushed off the thought and closed her eyes, hoping to sleep.

This time she gradually dozed off.

She woke up early next morning and prepared some toast and milk for breakfast.

Then she took a quick shower, blow-dried her hair in loose curls and put some makeup on.

She picked a black sheath dress which showed off her curves perfectly and paired it with a black-strapped stiletto heel.

Finally, she put her favorite red-based matte lipstick which accentuated her plum lips.

Ann looked at herself in the mirror

"That's more like it", she smiled.

Ann booked a cab. Then she quickly finished her breakfast and left for work.

"Wow Ann! You look stunning today", Linda exclaimed in delight.

"Did Mr.Davis see you?" Linda playfully grinned.

"Did you know? We had lunch together yesterday and he held my hand". Ann jokingly twisted the story.

Linda spat out the water she was drinking. Looked at Ann with eyes wide open.

Ann burst out laughing so hard, she was in tears.

"Did you lie to me darling? I thought it finally happened for a second", Linda pouted.

"I didn't lie Linda. It actually happened. But not in the way that you are thinking. Since I was having lunch alone, he joined me and he just shook my hand to wake me up from my musings."

" And what, my dear, were you 'musing' about in the middle of such an important lunch?", Linda questioned raising an eyebrow

Ann suddenly blushed, thinking of the thought she had.

"Are you blushing Ann? Ooh..you naughty gal", Linda teased

"I have lots of work today. See you at lunch.", Ann hurriedly walked away.

Ann had many emails to check and calls to attend. On top of that she has to also submit the report by tomorrow.

She was checking her email when Mr.James Flynn came.

"Ann. Today we have a meeting with Mr.Oswald at 7. He said he wants to meet the new chairman in person. Since Harry, who was handling him is on leave, I want you to come with us."

Mr.Oswald was a pervert. Ann understood that in the first meeting itself. That's why she handed him to Mr.Harry Morg, her colleague for managing him.

Ann knitted her eyebrows.

" Mr.Flynn, I don't think I can deal with Mr.Oswald. You know what happened in our first meeting right?" Panic was written all over her face.

"He..he... he touched me a lot.

I..I.. narrowly escaped that day".

Ann felt nervous.
