Married to the President

Chapter 43: She felt empty

"Do you have drugs you can take?" He asked next and Theresa Mo said yes. He asked where she kept

them and she wanted to stand up but he said she should sit down.

Theresa pointed in a certain direction and he went to get it. But he paused when he saw the various

design drafts that Theresa Mo had made.

He checked through it all and admired it. These designs would definitely have fetched the Li Group

hundreds of dollars if made into Jewelleries.

He got the pills and gave it to her to take. He saw various pictures of the boys littered around every wall

of the small house.

It was like he was staring at his own childhood pictures. So identical if not the coloring. As soon as she

took the drugs, it was getting dark already and Junxie Li was about to leave.

"If at any time, you choose to sell your drafts, only Li Group should be your target. Always welcome

there"Junxie Li stated and next said goodnight to her before walking out of her door.

Before Theresa Mo could say thanks for your help, he was gone. At the time the heavy pour had

stopped only that the drizzling was still there.

Theresa Mo went to the window and saw the tall finger slip into the car and soon the car went away.

She felt empty all of a sudden. It was as if Junxie Li had taken a part of her away. She looked through

the window until the car disappeared from sight.

She doesn't feel bitter with him like she was that day. She remembered his suit was still with her. She

would dry clean it before returning it back to him.

Two days later, Theresa went to the Li's Group, as a guest. She asked to see the President and she

was asked if she kept an appointment prior to her visit with him.

Theresa squinted. She said No. The receptionist pleaded with her to call him first otherwise, her job

was at stake. She's the third person being employed within two weeks.

Her predecessors lose their jobs because they let someone go in to see the President without a prior

appointment with him.

Theresa Mo squinted. She went back and got into her car. She doesn't have Junxie Li's cellphone

number but got Julia's.

When Julia Li saw the one calling him, he was in the President office, discussing how they would

change the new chief designer.

She had designed a few works but all were mere shambles. The clients returned with Murmurings and

till now, she has not been able to readjust the design to meet the clients taste and want.

Many demanded outrightly for Theresa Mo, the chief designer. They were directed here simply

because they have heard a lot about her work.

The company kept covering up for her. They said she was on vacation and many of those clients said

they would wait for her to return.

Junxie Li and Julia were discussing how to hire Theresa Mo back and reinstate her into the company.

Junxie Li said he hoped that she would come to see her drafts. Then they will have a way to pin her

down with a contract.

Just then Julia Li's phone started ringing. His eyes brightened when he saw the caller was Theresa Mo.

"It's Theresa Mo calling. Is she here already?" Julia told his brother out of excitement.

"Answer the call,"Junxie Li replied. Seeing his brother was pleased at Theresa Mo's call, he placed it

on speaker.

"Hi Julia. I wanted to reach Junxie but didn't have his cellphone number. Can you help me pass a

message across?" Theresa Mo sounded happy on the phone.

That's who she was when Julia first met her until she realised who Junxie Li was to her kids.

"Theresa Mo, honestly I am not happy with you. How can you not have the cellphone number of the

father of your children?.

Tha means you haven't been asking after the boys right? Junxie Li is fine. So what message ?"Julia

asked.

Julia heard Theresa Mo laughing on the other end. She said that's why she wanted to leave a message

and possibly from there she would get his cellphone number.

She is in the company to see Junxie Li but the receptionist would not allow her when she said she had

no prior appointment with him.

She wants him to tell Junxie Li she wants to see him or inform the receptionist that she could let her in.

Before answering Julia passed his elder brother a glance. Theresa Mo here to see Junxie? What is

happening?

"Where are you now?"Julia asked and she said she was in the car park. Julia told her to wait at the

reception, he was sending his assistant to get her in.

As Soon as the call ended, Julia Li stared at her brother. "Looks like time was healing her wounds. She

came to see you?

Is she having a crush already?" Julia asked and Junxie Li said nothing of such. They met a few days

ago and he gave her a lift to her house.

She was probably there to return his suit or sell her drafts. All the same Julia said it's a stepping stone

and immediately told the brother to pin her down and make her return to the company.

Theresa Mo returned to the reception and the receptionist asked her if she had made a call across to

the President. She said yes, and she shouldn't bother , he is sending someone to bring her in.

The receptionist is a beautiful woman of about twenty years. She looks innocent and Theresa knew

that she didn't know her as a former employee of the company.

Pascal Lee took the elevator to the reception. He bowed slightly before Theresa Mo and the latter

smiled at him.

They haven't seen each other in weeks and he looked a little stressed. As they took the elevator

together, Theresa asked him why he looked stressed out.

Is everything alright with him? Pascal Lee told her that the President was making life difficult for

everyone in the company and sacks a lot of people already.

He said it was because she left and the boss returned to his aloof personality. He asked quietly that in

the nearest future, she should return to the company and ease everyone's tense and fearful mind.

Theresa Mo then remembered the words of the receptionist. Junxie Li was taking out his tension over

the innocent employees of the company?

Soon they arrived at the President lobby where Theresa Mo's office initially was located. She stepped

into the President office and Julia stood up to welcome her.

He went to her and hugged her, but it was brief. Julia knew that Junxie Li was watching.

Theresa Mo looked radiant and glamorous. She wore a sky blue fitted above the knee gown. Her

straight white legs are readily visible on an open toes hill.

She carried a crutch on one hand and a little portfolio on the other hand. Her hair was parted in two and

left to fall on her shoulders.

She wore red lipstick and she appeared beautiful. Her thin waist and the curvy hips makes her look hot

and sexy.

Julia gave her a scrutinizing stare and complimented by saying she looked gorgeous.

Theresa smiled and said thank you. She turned in time to catch Junxie Li staring at her body with a

calm state.

"Hi President Li" Theresa Mo showed courtesy and smiled broadly at him. Junxie Li gave a nod and

Julia made her seat on the sofa.

He likes Theresa Mo a lot and wishes that something happens between her and his brother. She was

treated fairly and served a glass of juice.

Soon Junxie Li left his place and walked over to take the sofa opposite Theresa. She has come to see Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

him and must not act bossy with her now.

"President Li, thank you for coming to my aid the last time. I brought your suit but before leaving, I'll get

out of the car"Theresa Mo said politely.

"You are welcome Ms Mo"Junxie Li replied. He wants to listen to what else brought her.

"I have also done a draft . I would like you to see a few of them. I was heading to another company but

decided to stop here first" Theresa Mo said.

She lied. She wasn't going anywhere but wanted to sell her drafts to Li's Group. Junxie Li asked her to

bring them out.

She brought the paper draft and Junxie Li asked her to explain some features in them. She stood up

and went closer to him.
