Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 49

Ariana held her head down not wanted to face the disappointing eyes of her husband.

Sheryl was gloating inwardly she failed to see the worry in his eyes towards Ariana.

Michael did not want to push her too much especially before others.

“When can you complete it? Can you complete it by 9am tomorrow?” he asked with concern.

Sheryl now have a sour look on her face. This is not the result she wanted. She wanted him to go

berserk on Ariana for not completing a project.

“Yes President, I will ensure she have it done by then.” Sheryl answered for her.

The concern in Michael’s voice did not go unnoticed by Ariana this time around. She looked up at

him and thought, ‘This man would always defend me since I started working here. It really felt nice for

someone other than her bestfriend having her back’.

She turned to glare daggers at Sheryl. She had seen through her games. “There is no need for

that Sheryl. Please focus on your own assignment.” Ariana exclaimed holding the files in her hand.

Obviously Sheryl thought it was incomplete.

“I am just trying to help you so you don’t get fired. Sleeping on the job and incomplete assignments

can lead to termination. Don’t you know that?” Sheryl declare in one breath looking at the files in

Ariana’s hand and then covered her mouth and shrank her shoulders as if it was a mistake. “I am sorry

Ariana, it just slipped. I don’t know why I said that.”

Michael sat there watching in amusement but his face was emotionless and hard to read. He

wanted Ariana to handle the situation herself.

“I do not need your help. I can help myself and I can also apologize for myself if needed but one

thing I will not do is beg. If I should be fired then so be it.” Ariana usually doesn’t allow what others do

bother her but lately she had too much going on causing her to be a rollercoaster of emotions.

Sheryl was fuming inside. Ariana was just arrogant because the President was backing her but

let’s see for how long. “Don’t be too arrogant to ask for assistance. I have been here longer than you

and …” she was cut off before she could finished. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Stop!” Michael voice boomed in throughout the office having both ladies shivered. Sheryl shivered

in fear because he was directly looking at her and Ariana shivered because she turned on by his

dominance.

“This is not a Salon and I don’t want this miss in here.” Michael warned. “Now let me hear what

you have so far.” He turned to Sheryl Wright.

She explained her assignment and Michael listened keenly until she was through. It seem she was

not all talk but actually a very good employee.

“Very good. Once Miss Fearon completes her assignment and it is passed then it can be

forwarded to the Finance Department for a threshold to work with in this project.

Sheryl gave Ariana a smirked after she had completed her presentation. She knew Mr. Michael

was pleased with her presentation.

“You can go back now to your daily work.” Michael said giving Ariana time to complete her work.

He was not angry at her. He was worried for why she fell asleep and she went to bed so early

yesterday.

Ariana looked at him mischievously and asked softly with a smile, “So do you want me to present

my work now or should I wait until tomorrow?”

Michael was lost in her smile.

“You cannot present unfinished work to the President.” Sheryl wanted drag Ariana out the room so

she could not take away her shine. Mr. Matthews is the richest bachelor in Westron City and one of the

most handsome. Which woman didn’t want to have him all to themselves?

Ariana ignored her. She never once told her that she did not complete the project.

“I’m listening.” Michael was curious of the ideas she will bring forth for these children. He had

recently bought an Orphanage that was run downed by the previous owner. He wants to implement

new structures so each child can feel at home until they get a new parent or parents.

Ariana proceeded with her presentation. Michael felt so proud of his wife. She had had so many

useful ideas to keep the children happy. She would definitely be a great mother someday.

Ariana was confident with her work and Michael was smiling throughout her presentation.

Sheryl glared at her. What is so special about and when did she completes the project? Now she

felt ashamed in front of her crush.

“I like both your ideas and The Matthews’ Group can definitely work with it. Nice work ladies.”

Michael told them. Miss Wright’s project was really good but Ariana had enthusiasm over her which

proves how much she actually love kids.

“Miss Wright.” Michael called for her attention.

She beamed with joy, “Yes President?”

“Go back to the department and inform Mr. Brown to compile both work and have it sent to me.” He

instructed, he then raised an eyebrow to Ariana, “I take it that you already send him a copy?”

“Yes Mr. Matthews, I have before I came her.” Ariana responded.

“No problem President.” Sheryl answered happily by her tasked but was shattered by what Michael

requested next.

“You can leave now.” Ariana was getting up while Sheryl was reluctant. “Miss Fearon, you can

stay.”

Sheryl glared daggers at Ariana before she left. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Ariana chirped. She could be herself around her husband.

Michael rolled his eyes at her, “You ask too much questions. Come here.”

She walked to him and sat on his lap with her hands around his neck.

Michael leaned in to kiss her which she did not refuse.

He pulled away shortly and asked, “How did the meeting go with Mr. Fearon?”

The smile on her face disappear instantly, “Let’s just say she only wanted me to beg you to have

Johnson divorce Gina so she can get married into the Richards’ Family.” Michael frowned.

“Did he tell you anything about your mother?” Michael asked curiously for that is the most

important issue at hand. This information might help him in finding the enemy.

“Yeah.” Ariana narrated the information given to her by her father about her mother.

Michal was deep in thought but he did not say much on that topic. It just did not add up but he did

get some clues.

He snuggled his face in the crook of her neck. His breath fanning her skin making her shiver in

pleasure.

Michael chuckled at her reaction, “Now baby, can you please tell me why you are sleeping so

much and why you are not eating your meals?”
