Elaine
I woke up to the rays of sun light piering into my eyes. I squinted my eyes, sitting up and moving into the bed away from the light.
Turning to the other side, I found it empty. Alex was up already. I quickly got up. We are supposed to be at the company today. Dipping my legs in my soft teddy bear slippers, I entered the dressing room, picking out a white knee length off shoulder gown alongside a pair of black heels. I guess I had to look formal.
I walked out and met a maid in the room.
"Good morning ma'am. These were delivered this morning. They're for you" she said with her head slightly bowed.
My gaze shifted to her hands to notice she held a basket. Walking towards her, I took a closer look. They were skincare products. My skincare products. They were probably sent by mom. I smiled at her taking the basket. She left afterwards and I proceeded into the bathroom.
*************
I took one last look at myself in the mirror before picking up my hand bag and stepping out of the room. I locked the door, turning around to see a man walking towards me. He seemed to be a butler because of the way he dressed.
"Good morning ma'am. I'm Mr Michael, the butler" he said when he finally got to me.
"Good morning" I replied.
"Please come with me. Sir Alex is waiting in the car" he said gesturing behind him.
I nodded and followed behind him. We got to the stairs and I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the house. I didn't have the chance to look around since I was running after Alex last night. Wonder why he had to walk so fast. I made a mental note to look around once we got back.
We got to the car and the butler bowed and left. A guard opened the door to the backseat. I got in sitting beside Alex. The driver started the car and drove out of the compound.
"Did you have to take so long" Alex suddenly said. I turned to him and swallowed a scoff.
"I didn't take that long, I just made sure I was well prepared" I replied.
"We're going to a company not a party" he said with an amused voice." After all, you've gotten what you wanted, you're already married to me, you don't have to impress me with clothes and unnecessary make up"
I turned in shock to stare at him. What!! Impress him.
"Hey, I would never try to impress you. I already know how beautiful I am to try impressing anyone. I didn't choose getting married to you anyway" I said turning to face the window.
"Whatever"I heard him say and rolled my eyes deciding to ignore him. My husband indeed.

Alex
I can't believe her. Even after waking up so late after I asked her to be prepared, she had the guts to think of impressing me with her looks. And what did she say, she didn't choose getting married to me. I scoffed.
We finally got to 'Classy Sass Talent' (CST), my soon company. The driver parked at the parking lot and we stepped out of the car. I walked ahead with Elaine following close behind. We entered the company taking the elevator to the fifth floor. Getting there, we entered dad's office.
He sat with mom and some men in suit. Elaine's parents sat at the other side of the long table.
"Hi dad...mom"
"Take a seat" my dad replied. I sat beside mom and Elaine beside me. I knew if not for the fact we were in the company, Elaine would definitely run to her mom with the emotional look I saw in her eyes. Drama queen.
*********
"This states that you Alex Callaghan is now the owner of CST now joined with 'Just pose there' alongside your wife, Elaine Callaghan".
It was funny hearing that. Elaine Callaghan. I was bearing a surname that held so much power. Alex signed on the provided space for him and afterwards I was asked to sign.
I guess it now meant Alex was the owner of the company alongside me. But he had more power. Everyone left and mom came over to me. After speaking and hugging, she left with dad. Alex spoke with his father for a while and then we left.
We took the elevator to the first floor. The doors opened revealing a blonde lady standing behind it. She wore an extremely short body hug black gown with a pair of blue stilettos. I wouldn't deny she looked hot but wild at the same time.
Alex paused staring at her. "Harvey" he called and a guard behind me answered.
"Go with Elaine to to the car. You can leave, I'll take the next car" he said, his eyes not leaving the woman. What was happening?
I felt like asking what was going on especially when the lady gave me a hard hateful look but decided to forget it. I followed the guard and soon we hit the road.

Alex
I grabbed Britney by the arm and pulled her towards an empty office.
