PRESENT AND FUTURE

CHAPTER 128

"Dad, is this what it means to be in love? After witnessing what you are going through now, do you really think I will be cable of love? Haha.... I do not think so dad. Infact I vow not to fall in love with anyone or get married as long as I live" Charlie said to his unconscious father on the bed. Charlie layed his head on the bed and fall asleep out of exhaustion.

~~~~~~~~ flashback ends.

"But why was the news about your father's condition not known to the public? I thought there would be some media who would want to spread news of everything" Eve asked.

"The media companies that tried to reveal the truth about my father's condition were destroyed" 

"What do you mean destroyed?" Eve asked.

"I made the media companies go bankrupt and after that no other media companies dared to publish any news about my father's condition " Charlie said.

"Well do not be afraid dear husband, I may not be like your mother but I will try to treat you the way a mother would treat her child and the way a wife would treat her husband. I will be your mother, wife and most importantly your bestie. I will never leave you because we would definitely grow old together " Eve said.

"Really?" Charlie asked.

"Yes! All that is in the past and we need to focus in present and future" Eve said.

"My wife is getting smarter" Charlie chuckled.

"Hey! I have been smart! If I was not smart how would I have been able to run my company! it's just that I have not been showing off!" Eve protested.

"Okay! Okay little bunny, you are definitely smart. Now let's go to bed" Charlie said.

"Okay" Eve hugged her husband and assured him that she would not leave him. Charlie was moved to tears by what his wife said. He kissed her on her forehead and both of them went to sleep hugging each other affectionately.

Charlie and Eve woke up early with Charlie getting ready to resume work at Devan corporation and Eve helping him get ready for work.

"How do you feel working in a different company that is not yours?" Eve asked Charlie while helping knot his tie.

"Nothing. I just know that I am going to work. It is business and that is all" Charlie said.

"Okay but do not stress or bully my employees, you get it?" Eve said firmly.

"I am in charge now so I can do whatever I want to do if they try slack away during work hours " Charlie said.

"You work for me now because it is my company and I am very serious Charlie, you can scold and caution them but bullying or stressing them can reduce their efficiency" Eve said glaring at Charlie.

"Okay ma'am!" Charlie said in surrender because once Eve called him by his name, it means she is angry and he don't want to make her angry because of the consequences.

"You should also do that in your own company instead of making your employees be scared of you all the time" Eve said.

"I will try" Charlie said.

"Very good Hun. Now you are set for work" Eve said smoothing a non existent wrinkle on his cloth. "Looking handsome as always" Eve said smiling.

"Thanks little bunny" Charlie said and kissed Eve.

"Let me see you off" Eve said.

"Hmm" Charlie hummed and both of them walked out their room. When they got to the front of the mansion, his secretary, Dan was already waiting for him and when he saw his boss he rushed out of the car and opened the back door for him.

He kissed Eve for the last time and entered the car. "Bye Hun, have a great day at work!" Eve said.

"Thanks" Charlie said and closed the door and he instructed his secretary to drive.

"Drive" Charlie said.

"Yes sir" secretary Dan started the car and drove off out of the gate. Eve stood outside still the silhouette of the car is no where in sight before going back inside the mansion.

Devan corporation ~~~~~~

Charlie entered Devan corporation and all the employees started talking.

"I heard it was announced that from today Mr Charles Powell will be representing Miss Eve for the net nine to ten months" The first employee said.

"Yes! It is actually Mrs Powell not Miss Eve because our boss is married to Mr Charles Powell" The second employee said.

"Really?" The first employee shocked about the news.

"Yes! And there is another rumors that the reason our boss is been changed for the time being is because she is pregnant!" The second employee said.

"What!" The first employee shouted. Charlie heard this and stopped and turned to the two employees gossiping.

"Don't you both have something doing?" Charlie asked in a chilling manner that means 'if you both don't have what to do then you both will be fired'

"So... sorry sir" The two employees stammered their reply and ran away. A smirk appeared on Charlie's face and he continued walking to his now office with his secretary behind him.

He entered the office and sat on the exquisite leather chair. He closed his eyes and imagined his wife sitting on the same chair in this same office, he sniffed in the fragrance in the office and it reminded him of Eve. He was in his own world when he heard a knock on the door.

"Mr Charles, this is the schedule for Eve" Sue said giving the tablet with Eve's schedule in it.

"Okay but you can call me Charles when we are alone" Charlie said.

"Okay Charles" Sue said.

"Wait... how has the working environment been in this company?" Charlie asked.

"What do you mean sir?" Sue asked confused by Charlie's question.

"As I was coming up today, employees were gossiping about my wife and I was also wondering how the news of my wife being pregnant spread in the company when no one was told" Charlie said

"Oh, well there has always been people talking but they are not negative comments and for the news of her pregnancy, the employees deduced from the length of the time you would be in charge of the company which is approximately 10 months" Sue said.

"Oh... Okay, thanks, you can go now" Charlie said.

"Okay Charles " Sue said and leaves the office.

"Read the schedule to me" Charlie told Dan.

"Okay sir. You have a general meeting with the board of directors regarding a proposal submitted by Honor group of companies by 10am..." Dan started reading the schedule to him.

"Honor? Isn't that the company that refused to sign with Eve before?" Charlie found the name familiar.
