Chapter 1: A woman who overcompensates
Kate was on her way back to surprise her husband. Her business trip to London had ended a day early. She missed him, and couldn't wait to throw herself into his warm, welcoming embrace.
She was supposed to be free of work for at least three days, but she knew better than to count on that when she was holding an important position.
Sure enough, her work phone's ringing soon interrupted her quiet taxi ride.
"Yes, Mrs. Cadwaller, I will be in office tomorrow. I will prepare all the reports for our new CEO. Yes, I will print them out."
She remained professional throughout the call, but couldn't help but roll her eyes over and over. This new CEO sounded so spoiled. But that was expected given that he was sent by the parent company. He must be one of those rich brats trying to prove his worth after begging daddy for a job.
'How pointless,' she sneered at her heart.
"..."
"Yes, everything is under control. Yes, I will make it easy for the new CEO to evaluate the company."
"..."
"Good night to you too, Mrs. Cadwaller."
Beep.
