Chapter 12 Chapter 4.3
After the wedding, Desmond and I went straight to the house that was given to us. I was still wearing my wedding gown, so I had a hard time carrying it until I got inside the house. I looked around. Never in my dreams that I would live in a house like this.
I looked at Desmond angrily, who had already gone up the stairs. He didn't even help me carry my gown. How will I remove this now? I also went up the stairs, I entered the room that Desmond entered.
"And what do you think you're doing here? Are you hoping that I will sleep next to you in the same bed?" he said with emphasis. I bravely met his eyes.
"No, because I also have no intention of sleeping next to you. I just want you to help me lower the zipper of my wedding gown so I can change my clothes," I answered him arrogantly. Just because he comes from a wealthy family doesn't mean I will let him look down on me. We're just the same people and living on earth.
Desmond held my chin and then lifted it so our eyes would meet.
"Remember this, I will never love you. When Macie is ready to marry me, I will file for divorce and I want you to sign it immediately. Don't expect me to serve you. I will not hire a maid, you're responsible for working in this house. Don't ever bother me either. Don't enter my room and don't talk to me unless I ask you," he said to me seriously and coldly. I slapped his hand that was holding my chin.
"Don't worry because that's also what I want to happen. When your divorce paper is ready, just give it to me and I will sign it immediately so you can marry the woman you're dreaming of. Now, can you lower the zipper of my gown so I can change my clothes and sleep too," I answered him. Desmond's eyes were squinting as he looked at me, but I didn't flinch at his gaze.
Desmond turned me around roughly so he could lower the zipper. When he lowered it, I quickly left his room and entered the guest room. I breathed a sigh of relief when I was able to remove my wedding gown.
I took a bath to remove the make-up on my face. It's like a dream that I'm living in a house like this. It's like just yesterday, I was using a bucket and dipper to take a bath, but now I have my own bathroom and comfort room.
The next day, I cooked my food. I haven't seen Desmond yet, but I don't care about him. While I was eating, Desmond also entered the kitchen. I didn't look at him. I put all the food I cooked on my plate. I could feel Desmond looking at me, but I'm not his maid to cook food for him.
"Are you serious?" he asked me. I looked at him, I swallowed what was in my mouth first before I spoke.
"Didn't we agree that we're separate here? Cook your own food, I'm not your free helper for me to cook for you," I answered him grumpily. I heard him laugh dryly, but I don't care.
When I finished eating, I also cleaned up my dishes and used them for cooking earlier. I took a bath and got ready because today is also my first day at Velasquez Group.
When my ride arrived, I left without saying goodbye to Desmond. We're just housemates. When I arrived at the company, the driver took me straight to Mommy Shiermy's office.
"Why aren't you with Desmond?" she asked me.
"We decided to go our separate ways. If I even tell him that I'm going with him here, he won't agree. He doesn't want the people here in the company to know about our relationship, and neither do I. I can just commute so I don't bother your driver," I answered. My mother-in-law shook her head.
"I will find your driver to pick you up and drop you off every day. I allowed you to work so you won't get bored, but promise me that you will take care of yourself," she instructed me. I nodded. Mommy called the supervisor to take me to my working station.
We were still walking to the marketing department when I met Desmond. My supervisor stopped walking, but I was looking straight at Desmond. My supervisor held my head to force me to bow. Desmond just passed me and didn't even glance at me, but I don't care.
"He's the sole heir to the Velasquez Group, and if you want to last here, you need to do what he tells you to do properly and without mistakes," my eyebrow raised. Does that mean he can make my work difficult?
What happened in just one night? Why did my peaceful life suddenly become chaotic! It's annoying!
While we were walking, Ma'am Ruth was explaining to me what I would do. My roles and responsibilities. I was just listening to her until we arrived at the marketing department. She introduced me to the employees.
"Good morning, my name is Heaven Rosales. Nice meeting you everyone!" I greeted them cheerfully, but their faces remained blank. I was embarrassed to smile. I sat down at my working station and looked at my computer.
"The CEO will be going around each department later. I'm excited to see him again," I looked at those next to me because they were giggling while whispering. CEO? Who is the CEO of this company?
I just focused my attention on my work, but after only an hour, we were asked to stand up because the CEO was coming. All the women I saw were excited to see the CEO again.
Desmond arrived and he was very serious. Is he the CEO they want to see? Anyway, he's handsome and has a strong presence, but I'm not interested in that snob.
"Heaven?" I turned to the one who called me. I smiled when I saw Sir Zachary.
"Sir Zach!" I also called him happily. Desmond turned to us.
"Why didn't you even tell me that you wanted to move to another company?" he asked me. I was embarrassed to him. We really met here.
"This is not the place for you two to talk. Zach, don't talk to my employees," Desmond said authoritatively. I just rolled my eyes, are you making a scene?
"See you around, Heaven. Your boss seems to be having his period," Sir Zachary whispered to me, which made me laugh.
"Zach!" Desmond shouted. Zach quickly approached Desmond. I looked at those next to me and those in front of me. They were all looking at me as if they were killing me in their minds. I looked away. I just hope my life in this company will also be peaceful.
