"l talked out of ignorance,l didn't know she is your wife. Have l known l wouldn't dare open my mouth and talk about her" he finished talking while still his head is bowed infrony of Paul.
Ivana felt bad for him, a grown up man who is about forty years bowing down to a young man who is twenty seven years just because he is a superior at work.
Paul continued typing something in his laptop, ignoring the fact that someone else was there seaking for forgiveness. Although Paul didn't want to punish anyone who have talked about his lovely wife in the cafeteria. He wanted to let that matter be because he was the one to be blamed but again that doest give the employees the audacity to talk like that to any new lady they see in the company. That shows how I'll mannered his employees were.
Ivana wanted to talk to Paul about forgiving him but again she didn't want to mendle in other people's business. She sat there pretending to go through some of already signed contract.
After what seemed like forever, Paul lifted his head and looked at the Marketing director.
" You know talking out of ignorance is the worst trait l don't like my employees possessing. He saw the marketing director start shacking. His shaking legs were visible and this annoyed him. He didn't like his employees fearing him to that extent.
"I like people who own up their mistakes, go back to your office"
The marketing director thought that he will be fired but hearing his boss statement made him smile abit. He didn't expect to receive forgiveness from him without a lengthy lecture. Knowing how his boss is that was a miracle.
He remembered there was a time when Paul gave them a lecture of five house. The whole marketing department. Just because the marketing curve had slightly dropped.Since then, the marketing team learned that you can't receive forgiveness from him without a lengthy lecture. So the marketing director expected a two hours lecture before his boss decides his fate. He was surprised that Paul had forgiven him after five minutes.
He continued standing there like a statue, he thought that he had started hearing his own voices."What are you still doing here, l said you go back to your office, did you hear?"
"Yes, yes boss, thank you boss, l am sorry once more" he left hurriedly.
"You are beyond strictness Paul, did you see how he was shaking when you started talking?" Ivana asked.
He scoffed before saying, "Wifey l know my employees, waint until you become the CEO yourself"
"Then?"
"You will understand why l am like this"
"How about you become the CEO of the two companies hubby?"
"Are you kidding me? And what will you be doing wifey?"
"I will be your personal Assistant for the two companies" she said as she bit her lower lip, she didn't know that with that act her husband has already lost focus.
"Wifey, be considerate you are making me lose focus"
"Being a CEO of the two companies, makes you lose focus? wooow what a joke hubby?"
She didn't understand what he meant,so she ended up judging him wrongly. Paul walked to where she was, he moved near her lips and then said.
"What l meant was stop biting your lip like that, or else don't blame me when you become the victim wifey"
"Shameless", she pushed him away slightly, "l am going home" she said as she picked her sling back.
"Really now wifey, after seducing me?.
