Isla's Pov
The next morning, Isla wakes up to see both Adrian and Celeste in the kitchen, smiling and holding each other as Celeste made breakfast for the both of them. Ignoring them completely, She makes herself her usual coffee before work, and walks away with it, acting like she didn't see a thing.
The documents she received from last night kept playing on repeat in her head. If she released the evidence that what was said in that document was true, she was more than sure the outrage would be insane.
She smirked at the thought before packing all her things, including the divorce papers before making her way to work….as a secretary for her cheating husband.
Adrian resumed work, much to her surprise and delight.
"It would be better if he came when he had so much work piled up, that way he could sign those papers inconspicuously." She thought to herself.
"Good Morning Sir, I am glad you finally decided to show up at your own company. You have a pile of documents that need to be signed." She said, her tone void of all emotions.
"Why do you sound like that? By the way if I am absent, don't you know to manage some paperwork so it doesn't grow to this stage?" He said, His irritation and confusion plain as day.
"These ones are only meant for you, business deals you need to seal Sir, I can't sign them on your behalf." She said, her tone still emotionless, Irking him a little bit.
"Let's start then, shall we?" He asked after a while and then her expression changed. She smiled and nodded and walked to his side.
She explained each document, as he began to sign, her eyes tracking the movement of his hands. She had slipped the divorce papers in the midst of the pile of documents. He hardly ever read his documents, atleast not since he employed her. She hoped he wouldn't start now.
It seemed like forever before he reached the divorce papers, she held her breath as she watched him sign it.
"What document is this?" He asked, looking at it with mild curiousity.
Isla swallowed down her nervous as said with a confident voice, "One of the documents sent from last nights Charity event. It is a deal with one of the sponsors, Mr Wilson, you've been trying to secure a deal with him since. He was a bit upset last night, but after I explained your very valid reason for missing, it seems he must have calmed down and struck the deal afterall." She said with a small smile and he nodded, completely convinced before signing with questions before moving to the next."
"If you'll excuse me Sir, I need a minute," She said and he waved her off without lifting his head. Isla left his office and into the toilet.
She took a deep breath, and another.
She was divorced now.
She had actually done it.
She remembered how he had seduced her when she first came here to work, how naive she had been to think he would ever truly love her. Not when her sister was part of the story.
Now after everything she had gone through, she was finally free of him. She had already began to prepare her things to leave. After all the years she had devoted to him and this company, there was no way she would leave empty handed.
She had already began to reclaim some shares in her name, thanks to what she discovered last night. She couldn't wait until the time came for her to reveal it all, the look on Adrian and Celeste faces when she is done with them, she couldn't wait.
She left the toilet and went back to his office, resuming with her Job as his secretary…at least for now.
"What took you so long?" Adrian asked impatiently immediately she walked in, the irritation evident in his voice.
"I'm sorry, I saw one of the interns in need of urgent help and I had to offer assistance," Isla said and Adrian nodded before their focus went back to the documents at hand once more.
********
"Hello, Is Mr Moretti around?" A familiar voice said, causing Isla to raise her head up and her gaze to collide with Celeste who stood in front of Adrian's new secretary's desk.
"Yes, Can I please get your name? You need an appointment to be able to see him." Rose, the new secretary said with a polite smile.
"You must be new, I don't need any appointments, Let Adrian now that Celeste is here to see him, now." Celeste said, her whole tone turned dark as her skin flushed red in rage and embarrassment.
"I'm sorry Ma'am but I can't….." The new secretary started to say when Isla cut her off.
"That's alright Rosa, give Mr Moretti a call and see if he is less busy and let him know who is here to see him." She said with a smile, Rosa nodded and went to work while Celeste glared at her, obvious suspicions in her eyes.
Isla flashed her a smile and got back to work. She was in such a good mood to let someone like Celeste ruin it. She had gotten divorced, earned her freedom back from Adrian and it would take only a little more time before her plan worked fully and she'd be free of him forever. The thought alone was enough to make her ignore Celeste's mock attempts at making her 'Jealous'.
"I'm all done for today, I'll be taking my leave now. Make sure you don't forget to schedule all Mr Moretti's Meetings well and call me if there's any misunderstandings." Isla said with a smile to Rosa as she left, not bothering to even grace Celeste a glance as she walked away.
She got into her car and drove out, the thoughts of her future grounding her.
She drove past the black car conveniently parked outside the gates. Inside sat a man watching her…Damien Cavalier was back from the shadows.
