MARA’S POV
I have been busy in recent months because the start of the official merger of my company with Maru is also the start of my position as vice president.
They want me to be in that position than be the head of the sales and marketing because my parents wants me to take over the company as soon as possible.
But even though Maru and I are busy with our work, we see to it that our relationship as husband and wife and also as baby Tanya’s parent is not being neglected.
In few months time, our daughter will be celebrating her birthday.
So before her birthday, we had to finish our work because our family and I were planning to go to Korea for a vacation to celebrate our daughter’s birthday
“Don’t work too hard wife.” Maru whispered.
I startled by his presence.
Due to the amount of work I did not notice Maru’s presence.
I face him and pinch his nose.
“Be thankful that I have no heart disease, or else I would have been attacked earlier. You surprised me.” I told him.
He chuckled. “You’re too busy so you didn’t notice me.”
I pouted.
“I have something important to take care of. I will be meeting the HID group. I want Almonte Corp to get the distribution for their equipment. The company wants to distribute their equipment for a long time but until now they can’t get the deal.” I explained to him.
His forehead furrowed. “Aren’t you their partner in almost all of their products?”
I heave a sigh. “Yes but not the equipment. They have someone else assigned for that and the company cannot convince them to give it to us as well.”
“We need to get the right to carry their equipment because if we have that, we can give a better package to our clients. Also the price of the existing distributor of the equipment is so high.”
“What’s keeping them from giving it to you?”
“Loyalty?” I rolled my eyes.
“There’s no such thing as loyalty in the business world.”
“I know right.” I agreed.
When money is involve, no one will remain loyal. That is one of the things I notice in the business world.
“What are you planning to do now?”
I smirked. “I’ll scare them.”
“How will you do that?” He ask me.
I grin. “By cutting out my partnership from them and then I’ll get their competitor and made them dominate in this industry.”
He nodded and smiled mischievously. “That’s my wife!”
I just rolled my eyes.
“Its already 12:30 wife, lets have our lunch first then discuss that later.”
I nodded and I started to fix my things.
While eating I remembered that Yelle and I would meet later.
“Hon, I won’t be able to go with you later. Yelle and Alex invited me to have dinner it them. Its been a long time since we bonded.” I informed him.
He nodded. “Okay go ahead. But you need to behave wife okay? Don’t be too attached to that Alex. He still like you.”
I just shook my head
“Give Alex some consideration, he is not doing anything.”
“He’s not doing anything to me but with Jana.”
My eyebrow raised with his statement.
“What did Alex do to your Jana?”
“My Jana?” He furrowed.
“Is she not?”
Since Maru told me about Jana and him, especially about Jana’s love for Alex, I can’t help but be bothered.
I’m a woman. I know when a woman likes someone.
“And my instinct can’t be wrong. She really like Maru and not Alex. I just don’t know why she told Maru that the guy she like is Alex.”
“Are you jealous of Jana? Hon I already told you, I just see her as a sister.” He said a bit frustrated.
“What about her? Does she also see you as a brother?”
“Hon…”
“Jana doesn’t like me. She likes your friend, Alex. She also sees me as her brother.”
I just shrugged. I don’t want to argue with him.
The good thing is, our lunch went well despite our argument about our friends.
We are really planning to have the same office building so that it will be easier for us to visit each other.
But it seems like we can’t push through with the plan for now because we have so many things we need to do.
At exactly 6pm, Alex and Yelle arrived.
“Ma’am office time is over!” They said teasingly.
I just rolled my eyes. I just fix my things and I’m good to go.
Just like before, we went to our favorite cafe.
We are in the midst of our catching up when I remembered what Maru and I had talked about earlier.
“Alex did you know Jana?” I ask him.
He furrowed “What’s with her?”
“Maru told me that she likes you. Are you aware of that?”
He raised his brow “Really?”
“You didn’t know?”
He still look confuse.”Why are you asking me that?”
“I’m just curious. Besides, my husband and I are always arguing because of course he is on Jana’s side while I am on your side.” I told him.
He jus laugh. “Why are you two making it a big deal?”
Exactly! I also ask myself.
“Nothing.” I just said.
“Do you want me to pursue her?” He ask me seriously.
I gasped. “Why will you do that? Do you like her?”
I don’t know if its because of “girl’s instinct” but I really don’t like her for Alex.
“So that you guys don’t need to argue about us. You know that what I only one is for you to be happy.” He said sweetly.
I suddenly felt nervous.
“Alex don’t tell me you are planning something?!” I hissed.
He then smile. “Just trust me okay?”
“You don’t have to force yourself to like her if that’s not how you really feel! I want you to be happy. And I don’t think you’ll be happy by doing that!”
“I know what I am doing Mara.”
I stared at him trying to read his mind.
“Alex… no… you don’t need to do that.” I pleaded.
“Just trust me okay?”
I stared at him again. I saw that he is serious about this.
“I trust you.”
