Evangeline got up with a smile on her face the next morning. The peace she had was like no other. She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, then headed to the kitchen to make herself a light breakfast.
Today was the day that she would go back to work after her two weeks off. She showered and then went to her room to choose an outfit for the day.
Standing in a robe, Evangeline chose a pair of wide leg white pants, black blouse, black heels and a black coat then got dressed.
Her makeup was light, and she wore gold accessories, she put her long black hair into a low ponytail, grabbed her black handbag and briefcase then left the apartment.
On the first floor, she saw Steven instead of Mr. Steinfield.
"Hello Steven."
"Good morning Ms. Beaumont."
"Where is your grandfather?"
"He went visit relatives so I'm in charge until he returns."
She nodded, "I'm off, so I'll see you later Steven."
She bids him farewell and then left the building. She got into the taxi she had called and headed to Kingsley's Advertising Ltd.
At Kingsley's Advertising Ltd., Evangeline was the Account Manager, and her job brought her in close contact with many of the company's clients as well as managing the projects and the budget allocation.
She was liked by many but was also envied by the women who worked there. Some even thought that she had seduced her way into the job and her promotion but it was quickly squashed when she showed how capable she was.
The team she had originally managed was always on top and had the most clients who respected her professionalism and thought she was best fit for the job.
What really pushed her promotion to Account Manager was when several rival companies started making inquiries to poach her.
Leona Williamson, Evangeline's boss since she started the company stated to those in charge that if they don't value the work she does and awards her accordingly, then they shouldn't be surprised if Evangeline took one of the offers given to her and take many of their clients with her.
"Good to see back at work Eva."
Evangeline stopped in her tracks as she heard the voice of her boss.
"Good to see you too Leona." she smiled at the woman walking towards her.
They both enter the building together.
"So, how was the vacation Eva?"
"It wasn't a vacation at all, it was nothing more than a life altering event of betrayal and much needed liberation."
"That bad?!" Leona exclaimed.
"I'll explain over lunch."
Leona was a like big sister to Evangeline, she looked out for her, gave her advice and was there when Evangeline needed someone to talk.
The pair agreed where they would go for lunch then parted ways.
On the way to her designated office space, Evangeline received multiple greetings from colleagues. Her assistant Megan caught up to her.
"Welcome back Ms. Beaumont."
"It's good to be back Megan, please brief me on everything that has happened so far and bring all related documents to me."
"We have a meeting scheduled with Celetron Tech tomorrow at 9, they are currently launching their newest gadgets and want us to make social media and televised advertisements for the products."
Evangeline nodded in understanding, "How far along are the drafts for the advertisements?"
"They're ready to be presented to the client."
"Excellent, thank you Megan." she smiled at the younger woman causing her to blush.
"Get me the files that I mentioned and then you can get back to work."
Megan nodded before going to fetch the files then going back to work.
For the rest of that morning, Evangeline worked diligently on her tasks, met with the teams to view the drafts to be presented and made adjustments where necessary.
It was like she never left.
