149 149- Valerie Wants A Meeting
“What’s the deal here?” They all were giggling when Dean made an appearance in the room. He saw a woman laughing along with the staff of MSin. A man was standing behind her with his arms crossed over his chest.
“Dean!” Kate got up from the seat and gestured towards Valerie, “Meet Mr. Sinclair’s wife. Valerie Sinclair.
Dean kept looking at the blonde woman who was trying her best to look classy but was falling miserably. He had been in the corporate world for so long and this woman thought she would compete here just by wearing expensive clothes then she was mistaken.
“And do you know?” Kate touched Dean’s arm lightly, “I was about to tell our incharge’s name when she stopped me because our leader isn’t Katy Perry, so she isn’t interested in knowing her name. How funny! Ha–ha.”
Valerie’s face also reminded him of the message he got two nights back in his messenger. So, she wasn’t a fraud. Rafael’s wife was at last here.
But still, Marissa was classier!

Now why that thought crossed his mind? No matter how polished Marissa was. She wa
third wheel.
This poor woman!
Valerie must have entered MSin to stay close to her husband who wasn’t interested in her.
“Hello, ma’am,” Dean placed his palm on his chest and bent his head a little, “how are you?”
The blonde woman eyed him for a moment and then left her seat, “I’m good, Dean,” she approached him taking purposeful steps, “I know you.”
She then leaned her hip against the edge of the desk, “I want to use my husband’s office, Dean
It was a confident request, but Dean wasn’t a fool.
The body language and the way she was fumbling with her fingers were a telltale sign that this confidence was a sham.
“No one can enter his office without his permission, ma’am,” he muttered, “I’m sorry”
“B…but, Dean, Kate moved closer to him after giving an over–brightened smile to Valerie, “SHE uses Mr. President’s office in his absence.”
She was talking about Marissa. Dean turned his head to look at Kate. His job was not to be judgmental towards his boss though he felt bad for Valerie.
The poor wife must have heard from someone that his husband had a mistress. That kid. resembled his father so much that he was sure their affair went way back.
“I only comply with his orders, Kate. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have got a job to do and I’m sure MSin pays you too for doing that

He nodded at Valerie and walked away but then was stopped by Shang Chi.
“Hey, Dean. We have a presentation by our in charge and she is nowhere to be seen.
Dean shifted slightly on his feet, “Your in–charge will be here for the presentation after the lunch break,” he said and heard Delinda’s sarcastic chuckle.
What happened to Delinda? Wasn’t she the same woman whom Marissa tried to help when her kid was in hospital?
Straightening up in her seat, Valerie glanced at her wristwatch, “Which presentation is this?”
Delinda raised her hand, “Our head was supposed to give the presentation this morning,” she sighed, “I guess she has better things to do today.”
“Yeah,” Kate nodded, “she is becoming habitual of doing it and no one says a word to her”
Valerie gave a meaningful glance to Ethan over her shoulder. This was the woman they were looking for.
The one who was taking advantage of her husband. Rafael had always expected his staff to complete their tasks on time and how easily this woman was manipulating him.
“Fine! Whenever this presentation happens. I would like to be a part of it,” Valerie twisted a thick strand of hair around her finger.
This was the first step. She needed to tell the woman that who was the boss. No matter how many incharges Rafael would make, Valerie would always be the boss.
“And please let me know which office to use if I can’t use my husband’s office,” she asked Dean fluttering her lashes.
Dean nodded and then thought to make her sit in the new office that Rafael asked to be set. before the next weekend. According to Dean, Rafael might be planning to hand it over to Marissa but now Dean didn’t have any choice.
He might be in the middle of an unwanted family fight and didn’t know what to do. Valerie was following him, and he opened the door to get inside the room.
“Here. You can stay here for the time being and then later we can ask Mr. Rafael about which room to assign you.”
“Oh, that’s not a problem,” she laughed awkwardly, “I don’t need an extra office. My husband’s office will be enough for me!”
Dean nodded and was about to walk away when Valerie stopped him, “Listen, Dean. Do you know where is my husband? Is he late today?”
Dean gave a hard stare to Valerie, “Why? Don’t you know he has got an official meeting outside with some client? He must have told you.”
Valerie first observed his face and then giggled, “Yes… yes, he told me… I forgot… I guess. Ha–ha!
Dean smiled and was heading out when he bumped into the man who was standing behind
149 149–Valerie Wants A Meeting
“Sorry, man,” he apologized with a friendly smile and then closed the door behind him.
So, did Valerie Sinclair bring an assistant with her?
“Ms. Valerie is so friendly!” Dean heard Kate praising the woman, “Just look… at how she knew about my intelligence just like that! And do you know what her presence means?” she asked her colleagues excitedly.
Then looked at Delinda in a friendly way, holding her arms, “It means that she will observe how qualified each one of us is.”
“You are so right,” Delinda nodded, “I think now she will do justice. The rewards will only go to the deserving employees this time.”
Kate was chirpier more than usual. At least, her prayers were answered and slowly her office. colleagues could see the injustice done to her.
Some more people on the team had joined them, and Kate was acting among them as if she was already their leader.
With a side smirk, Dean took his seat and started working. He wanted to wait for Rafael Sinclair till then he couldn’t take any step.
When his intercom started ringing, he knew it was Valerie as Joseph and Rafael hadn’t arrived at the office yet.
“Yes, ma’am?”
“Dean. Ask all the teammates to gather in the conference room. I need to talk to them.”
“Teammates?”
“Yes. The ones who are participating in the upcoming event. I’d like to hear what they are up to.”
What are they up to? Seriously? Staying four years with a businessman husband didn’t teach her anything?
Strange!
