The news of what happened to Gabrielle spread like wildfire in the company. Some people were secretly overjoyed that the new legal advisor put Gabrielle in her place then again the female employees who wants to win David's heart were not happy that the new legal advisor was a beautiful lady and she would be working side by side with the president. The president might develop feelings for her this made them really sad.
Gabrielle was heaving with anger in her office when the employees saw her in that state they were thrilled. It was lunch break in the company and the company employees went to the company's cafeteria to eat. When they got there they saw Courtney eating by herself David had intended for Courtney to eat in the office with him but he had a lunch meeting with a business partner Courtney told him not to worry that she would eat in the company's cafeteria. When the employees saw her they were surprised that she was a beauty. Ma can I sit with you a girl with glasses with braids asked cautiously not daring to look Courtney in the eye. Yes you can sit down Courtney replied Thanks ma Karen said. What's your name Courtney asked my name is Karen Wayne Karen had a nice voice and a sweet smile on her face when she said her name . Courtney looked at the girl carefully she saw she was cautious around her, she had a pitiful appearance that makes people wants to bully her plus those glasses she wore gave her a nerd look. My name is Courtney Anderson the new legal advisor of the William's group let's take care of each other in the future. What department do you work in Courtney asked I work in the sales department Karen said adjusting her glasses. That's nice Courtney replied. Hey Karen are you trying to be a bootlicker but you are licking the wrong boot a shrew voice came from behind. Courtney looked at the lady behind Karen at least she is dressed decently but wants to be a troublemaker What does it have to do with you if she is licking the wrong boot Courtney retorted. Lawyer Courtney I wasn't talking to you the girl said the girl was named Leah smith. Lawyer Courtney it's okay my team leader didn't mean what she said , she is a playful person please don't take what she says to heart Karen said timidly. Lawyer Courtney you heard what she said right Leah said with a smile am a very playful person and I speak without knowing it Karen don't lick the wrong boot she is not in your department don't try to curry favour with her no wonder your colleagues bully because you don't make use of your brains Leah said yes team leader Karen said . Courtney was too lazy to argue with Leah she stood up to leave enjoy your meal Karen Courtney said before leaving. Leah scoffed and left Karen sat there eating alone when she was done eating she left. Everyone in the cafeteria saw what happened between Leah and the new legal advisor they thought there was going to be an argument between the two women but Courtney walked out before the show started.
Courtney walked back to the office and buried herself in work for some reason she didn't like the way Karen was treated but she was not the one that interfered with other people's business so she stopped thinking about Karen and her affairs and completely focused on work she didn't even notice when it was time to get off work and that was when David came in she was completely focused in her work that she didn't notice David was in the office already. My little wife is completely buried in work that she doesn't notice my presence David said. Courtney turned up only to see David's face looking at her she glanced at the clock and saw it was 5pm how did she not notice when the time passed by so quickly she thought. Boss you are back Courtney said are you planning to work overtime Mrs Williams David said no boss am about concluding my work I will leave in five minutes , I will wait for you here we will leave together David said
No boss don't wait for me I came with my car , I will drive myself Courtney said Mrs Williams am not asking you am telling you we will leave together, charlie will drive your car home David said. Okay boss Courtney said. Courtney finished her work and came downstairs with David, they went home together with David driving the car. They reached Richfield compound and entered into the house together, when they entered the house Courtney fell into the couch like a bean bag aah what a day Courtney said . David sat beside her and helped her to remove her shoes Courtney sat up immediately David what are you doing she asked removing my wife's shoes he said seriously we don't have a real husband and wife relationship there is no need for you to do all this we will go our separate ways after a year Courtney said. Mrs Williams let's make our marriage work I am serious about you David said. Honestly this little things David did warmed her heart but she didn't want to give their relationship a chance for it to blossom only for it to wither away like it never existed. She didn't say anything and tried to leave but David didn't want her to leave this time without saying anything he held her hand and made her to look at him Courtney you can't run away anytime I say this to you you have to say something David said. David let's take things slowly don't push it she said and left his arms then she walked upstairs.
David didn't know why he was trying so hard to give his and Courtney's relationship a chance could he have fallen in love with her no he Shaked it off though he hasn't fallen in love with her , he has started developing feelings for her he couldn't call what he felt love yet but he wanted to give their marriage a chance to know where this relationship will lead them to . Courtney is the first woman he has ever felt comfortable with and he just wanted to make their marriage work . Eversince he met Courtney he hasn't had his relapse ever since Courtney must be the cure to my illness he thought.
