Chapter 62: Don't Hate Him Too Much

Once Charles left his office, he went directly to the garage and took his car and drove off and started heading to Ethic Textiles. He wanted to see Sarah face to face and ask her what was the meaning of the photos sent to him by Xavier. Just as he said earlier, he wanted all her attention to himself because that was the only means for him to accomplish his mission without issues and he won't be able to do that when she is sharing the attention she's supposed to be giving to only him with Xavier who isn't just someone else but her ex husband. If not because of his mission, he wasn't even going to be affected by the images sent to him by Xavier, it's not as if he was in love with her, he had no feelings for her after all. But then was he really truthful to himself? If he wasn't in love with her then why did he get angry when he heard that Sarah had employed Xavier as her personal assistant, why did he get the feeling that Xavier was planning to take away from him something very important and why did he get the same feeling when Xavier sent those images to him and why was he presently angry while he was only supposed to be pretending to be angry. 'Maybe I'm really in love with her,' he thought to himself but immediately he shrugged the idea away, there was no way he could be in love with her, the old man will surely kill him if he hears about it. As these thoughts were lingering through his mind, his phone started ringing jolting him back to reality. Taking a glance at the phone that was on the passenger seat, he noticed that it was the old man calling. "Why is he calling now and what does he want this time around?" Charles asked himself before connecting the phone to the car's Bluetooth before picking up. "Good afternoon sir how are you?" Charles asked him after picking up. "I'm good Charles, what about?" The old man asked him. "I'm good sir," Charles said to him in reply. "What about you and Sarah? I heard that she employed her ex husband as her personal assistant, I hope that isn't going to be a problem for you?" The old man said to him. "No of course sir, you don't have any to worry about, I have everything under control," Charles said to him confidently. "Really?" The old man asked him. "Yes of course sir, you don't have anything to worry about," Charles said to him. "Okay if that's the case, I won't you to move to proceed to the second part of the plan," the old man said to Charles. "What!!" Charles exclaimed in surprise knowing that what the old man was asking for is impossible. There's no way he could proceed with second part of the plan when she's still sharing the attention she's supposed to be giving to him alone with her ex husband and she have also employed the same ex husband as her personal assistant. "What's the issue, can't you do that?" The old man asked him through the phone. "Of course I can, I was just thinking if it's not too early to proceed with the second plan?" Charles asked him. "No of course, and mind you I'm not asking you to proceed with it today, take your time, but just remember that you will be executing it very soon. Don't tell you aren't in a hurry to earn your freedom," the old man said to him. "Yes of course I'm in a hurry to get my freedom," he said to the old man through the phone. "If that's the case then get to work," the old man said to him. "No problem sir, I will get to work as soon as possible," Charles said to him. "Okay Charles have a nice day," the old man said to him before hanging up. Once he hung up Charles sighed heavily before hitting the accelerator pedal of the car increasing the speed of the car, he wanted to get to Ethic Textiles as soon as possible and clear things up with Sarah. Meanwhile Sarah was in the conference room with some of her board members who were busy presenting the new set of textiles that was about to be launched but Sarah wasn't even following the presentation, all her attention was on her phone as she was busy reading the comments of the posts about Xavier becoming her personal assistant, as she was reading the comments she couldn't help but smile to herself but suddenly Lucy who was sitting beside her tapped her jolting her back to reality. "Please tell me you have been following the presentation," Lucy said to Sarah and immediately she sighed heavily knowing she didn't even hear a single word of what was presented. "Where are they?" Sarah asked Lucy in a low tone while avoiding the gaze of her employees. "Actually they are waiting for your opinion, they are done with your presentation," Lucy whispered to Sarah and immediately she ruffled her hair. "How was the presentation?" Sarah asked Lucy in a whisper. "What?" Lucy asked her with a furrowed brows. "You are my personal assistant for crying out loud, so tell me how the presentation was," Sarah whispered to Lucy. "Well it was good, but it would have been good if you were paying attention in order to give your own point of view," Lucy whispered to Sarah who rolled her eyes at her before returning her gaze to her employees. "The presentation was very good, I will go through the written form before getting back to you guys, you can all return to your posts," Sarah said to them and they nodded before walking out of the conference leaving only Sarah and Lucy behind. "I saw what you were looking at earlier, I must admit that was really a hard punch to the face for Xavier, I didn't know you hated him that much," Lucy said to Sarah who smiled at her. "I hate him with every vein in my body," Sarah said to Lucy. "Well that's evident, but I will advise you to be careful," Sarah said to Lucy before standing up. "Why do you think I should be careful?" Sarah asked Lucy with a furrowed brows after standing up. "Because if you hate someone too much, you might end up falling in love with that person," Lucy said to Sarah before walking. "What? Come back here," Sarah said to Lucy before gathering the files on the table and going after her. To be continued...
