SWNOVELS Chapter 48
Chapter 48 Was There A Feeling
Martha walked out of the room when it was late at night, she was bored and as a matter of fact, she thought she would be living
in the same room with Broderick, afterall, they were husband and wife, she never forsee that they would be living separately. She
can only get to reveal her identity after she had had a baby for him, that way, no matter how angry he is, he would not be able to
easily chase her away cause she has a baby for him. She impatiently walked towards the master room, she knocked on the door
gently but got no response, she knocked on the door again and again and wondered if Broderick was inside or not. “Hello,” a
majestic voice sounded behind her and she turned at once, seeing Broderick standing tall before her, her heart skipped and she
swallowed. “Hi!” She smiled,” I felt lonely in my room and decided to come and check on you.” “I don’t like people intruding into
my privacy. I am a very busy man, I hope you can understand that?” Broderick asked. “Yes, sure. But I also hope you will be able
to spare me a little out of your time,” she said. “I’ll try,” Broderick said, trying to sound calm. She didn’t want to make her feel bad.
“You should go to your room, maybe we can have a discussion tomorrow.” She nodded, wondering why the man wasn’t even
tempted by her beauty. She was dressed in only a light night gown and a slipper, she took a step as if wanting to leave and
suddenly held onto her stomach. “Oh my, my stomach,” she bent as if she was in pain. Broderick attended to her immediately
and asked,” are you fine?” “No...no, my stomach hurts,” she struggled to say as she winced in pain. Amy was coming at this time
to tell Broderick about an urgent mail she received from a foreign company. She has forwarded the message to Broderick’s mail
but he hasn’t responded. Yet, it was something he needed to attend to urgently. Instead of calling him on phone, she decided to
check on him. She paused when she saw him carry Theresa inside his room. She felt a dull pain in her heart and watched as the
door to Broderick’s room got shut. Why was she even pained? It wasn’t as if she loved him yet it felt like she was very jealous
seeing him carry another woman inside his room. Well, he was his wife. They were probably about to make love. She turned with
a dejected spirit and walked away. When it was the following day, after she was done dressing, she walked over to the living
room and saw that her children were all in the school uniforms looking very cute and adorable. The children ran towards her to
greet her as soon as they saw her, a few seconds later, the maid appeared and said,” the driver is ready” “Oh okay,” Amy bade
her little children bye and watched as the maid escorted them out. Since there was still time, she wanted to eat before going to
the office so she walked over to the table. Once the maid appeared, she beckoned on her to serve her as soon as as he can so
she can leave to work already. The maid served her few minutes later and when she was about eating, she perceived people
walking to the living room and on looking towards that direction, she saw Broderick and Theresa dressed very adorably. She
squinted her face and her heart clenched with sadness, neither of Broderick nor Theresa spared her a glance, they simply
walked towards the door and soon faded off her sight. She left the food she was eating immediately and walked towards the exit
of the door, she peeped through the little hole in the door and watched as the both walked towards his Ferrari, the doors of the
Ferrari was opened for the duo and they walked in the most noble manner,
Amy felt like crying, she turned and walked back to the dinning table. Ever since she has been here, she takes taxi to work and
takes a taxi to wherever she has to go to yet the father of her kids was by far the richest in NorthHill with numerous cars. She
tried to eat but she couldn’t. She lost all apetite to eat and then stood and angrily stormed out. She soon found a taxi that
transported her to work. Maybe she can work hard for a couple of months, save up and then buy a car. Car was a necessity and
for a woman of her status, expecially one who is the secretary to the Alessandro’s Corporation, she was supposed to using a car.
She walked inside the company and took an elevator up to her floor, when she got to her office, she received the greatest shock
of her life when she saw Theresa seated comfortably on her seat. “What’s going on here?” she asked, confused as she walked
inside,” this is my office, why are you seated here?”
“Mr. Broderick has appointed me as the new secretary to the company. If you have any problem with that, you can ask him,”
Theresa said Amy felt her heart sunk into a bottomless abyss, why were these people torturing her this much. She buried her
fingers deep inside her nail as she absorbed the pain feasting on her heart. She walked towards the door that leads to
Broderick’s office and knocked on it, “Come in.” Once she heard his voice, she walked in with a painful look,” you fired me as
your secretary without even giving me a letter?” “Who said i fired you?” Broderick asked. “But your wife is now your secretary,”
Amy said. “Yes, she demanded for that position and I handed it over to her. But I’ll give you another position,” Broderick said.
Amy smirked,” keep your position, I’m not interested in working in your company anymore.” Amy wondered if Broderick knows
how insignificant she made her feel by giving someone else her position when she has been doing her job according to task. “It’s
not for you to decide where you want to work, it’s for me to decide.” Broderick said with a stem voice. “From this moment
henceforth, you will become my third personal assistant, Brett will run you through a list of your duty.” Amy felt bullied. Of course,
he was a bully. He would not let her make her own decision or express her anger. She looked away sadly and suddenly said to
him,” What you did is wrong, Mr. Broderick yet you didn’t feel remorse at all.” 1 Broderick slammed his hand on the table angrily
and stood,” who are you to tell me what is wrong? Last I checked, a personal assistant has more superiority over a secretary. Do
you want me to demote you to being a receptionist?” Amy can’t imagine how much ridicule she would go through of she gets
demoted, she better accept this offer. Afterall, it was a promotion as he had said. “Where will my office be?” she asked. “Right
here,” Broderick said and pointed to a new desk and table that was by a side of his office. Amy was shocked. Being in the same
office with a psycho? “Can you give me a different room for my office, I don’t feel comfortable staying here with you. Because of
the kind of relationship we share, I may not be able to concentrate on my work.” “If there is a work to do in the first place,”
Broderick said sarcastically and sat. Amy didn’t have a clear understanding of what he meant. “Please go to your sit, your first
task is already in your computer, get to work quickly,” he said. Amy sighed helplessly and walked over to his office. The task she
was to do took her only fifteen minutes and she didn’t know what else to do anymore. She brought out her phone and started
playing games and after a while, she suddenly thought of surprising her little ones with gifts but she doesn’t have money. She
then began to contemplate on whether to ask him or not. “Sir!” Amy called his attention and he looked towards her at once.
“Erm., I have been done with the task on my computer and I’m kind of stranded, are there more works to be done?” “No. That’s
all for today,” he answered and concentrated on his computer. The fuck? That’s all for today? This is lesser work compared to
that of a secretary. She was told the amount she would be earning monthly as a secretary the CEO but she didn’t know how
much she will earn as his personal assistant. Amy looked at his handsome side profile and adored it. He looked so cute and
Amy’s fragile heart was made to beleive that she hasn’t fallen in love with this man. Only that she can’t understand why seeing
him with women hurts. He doesn’t like seeing her with other men too anyways. Was there a feeling arising between both of them
already?
