THE COMPANY

Alexander's POV

Alexander Wilson in his magnificent Office had a thought flashing through his mind, my Grandma must have urged "Miss Edwards"but she disgusted me and by trying to look seductive and sexy especially with blue, it annoyed me greatly

Yesterday when I asked Mrs Helena, I was told she purposely chose blue out of all the available gowns, as if she purposely wanted to seduce me

It made her no different from all the other chic trying to fawn over me

I checked the time to realise it was almost noon and she still haven't arrived at the company. There's a need to introduce her to the share holders, I called home and got a response that she had just left the mansion.

" How will she cope with the company when she's very lazy" I mused

"What's up with the hissing and long face Mr handsome groom" It was Alan Williams swinging the door wide open

Andrew Smith followed after him, a headache was coming, I had to answer their questions about the wedding as night, we usually get together leisurely to catch up, besides they never come to the office except for official purposes, but today was different, Alan gave me such a mischievous smile that made me sigh

"What's with the look in your eyes" I ask

"well start talking" he sat crossing his legs and looking directly at me

I look helplessly at Andrew who's usual quiet, but he had an eager look on too

"When I went to the blue mansion yesterday, I was excited to....."

I waited till their ears perked up before bursting the bubbles

"I was excited to have a good night rest and not having Grandma taunt me about marriage again" I smirked

What followed was a loud sigh of disappointment

"What about Miss Edwards, did you go to her" Alan wouldn't give up easily

"Of course, I went to her room yesterday and..." I started to say, a knock on the door interrupted me

"Come in" Andrew said impatiently

Mrs Edwards was at the door, wearing a golden yellow knee length dress and matching heels, I could almost hear Alan beside me swallowing, he was looking very excited

" beautiful" he whispered

IVY:

When I entered the office, the first thing I noticed was the two good looking young men alongside my husband, the room was silent and I got weird stares

" Mrs Wilson's here" it was Liam that spoke first

His "Mrs Wilson" sounded weirder now that we are in the presence of Mr Wilson and others

One of the guys was jovial and introduced himself cheerfully as Alan Williams, a friend of Alex and CEO of Williams Company

" You look pretty, nice to meet you again Mrs Wilson" he stretched his hands forward for a hand shake

"Again" I echoed, questioning, I took his hands for a minute

" You met at the wedding yesterday" It was Mr Wilson, the impatience his the statement had me tongue clicking

Right, the wedding was just yesterday, but it felt so distant to me, like something that happened a long time ago

I looked at Mr Wilson, his eyes were cold too, just like his voice

The other guy lookes quiet and gentle

"This is Andrew Smith, our friend and the most quiet person in our squad" Alan Williams was zealous that I wonder if he always smiles at his employees at work.

"It's not a squad, we're friends not group of gangsters" It was the first time I heard Andrew Smith's voice, it had a calm and gentle effect, just like his appearance

Alan clicked his tongue, it seems like the two often bicker

He shaked my hands too and echoed Alan's "It's fancy meeting you again Mrs Wilson"

"The absentees are our other friends, Claire Johnson and Hazel Wales, we all grew up together" Alan continued

I felt grateful that he tried making small talk, saving me from the awkwardness of the office room.

"Oh we also had an *ex-member* she's Scar" Alan didn't finish his words when he seemed to realise something the room temperature dropped, I met Mr Williams eyes and there were as cold as sharp ice.

I wondered what suddenly happened, I turned to Andrew Smith and he was looking at Alan with pity, and Alan looked on with remorse,he was sweating. With the sudden silence in the office, I thought of something to say"

" Who's scar" I asked

"its nothing Mrs Wils" Alan started to say but I cut him short

Can we talk for a moment, Mr Wilson" I asked

"of course go ahead, Andrew and I were just about to leave" Alan was quick to rush out of the office

"Have a wonderful time and see you at dinner on Saturday" dragging Andrew with him, he winked before closing the door.

I waited until the two men left before turning to Mr Wilson

"Sit down" he didn't even look at me

There's was silence for a moment, only the flipping of documents was heard

I didn't look at Mr Wilson too, I looked around the office while he sorted documents

"What do you have to say" he startled me

I stared at the carpet and thought of what to say, I only said I wanted to talk because I was feeling uncomfortable with the atmosphere at the office earlier, this silence was getting unbearable

"The maids at blue mansion call me miss Edwards instead of Mrs Wilson" I blurted, it was the only thing I could think of at the moment

I got Mr Wilson's attention

"Do you really want to be associated with the Wilsons that much, you can only be Wilson on the paper there's nothing between us" He said expressionless

" I would appreciate if your servants respect me" it came out louder than expected

Mr Wilson smirked " Fine whatever you want, the young lady title you desperately desire will be given to you, I never expected that Grandma chose a shameless power hungry Young lady to be the next Mrs Wilson she must have made a mistake" he shook his head

I was angry now, I looked him up to toe

" Mr Wilson, I really don't care about your family's wealth or title, am better off being an Edwards anyway, and I detest being your wife as much as you hate being my husband" I said angrily

"If I had the courage to choose my own husband, I'd rather marry a gorilla than consider you an option" I started for the the door

I tried opening the door but it wouldn't budge, facing Mr Wilson, I eyed him angrily
