CHAPTER 46

She was shocked when she realized that they had drawn a lot of attention to themselves. People were staring but in a good way which was good, cameramen were busy capturing every single moment.
She didn’t know how this was going to turn out but she didn’t care at least for now. Even if she does something good or bad she will still end up in the magazine. As someone who had graced the magazine for a while, she was used to this so it wasn’t that of a surprise if she finds herself on the front page again.
Ignoring the other people looking at them, Selena followed her husband to meet his other colleagues. It was such a good experience, meeting the people that work with her husband and getting to know them.
She could feel that she was really part of his life and not just some random stranger he married back then when they met. She was going to make him proud and she was going to make sure of it.
This was her time to get to know the people who were part of her industry as well as the people she was supposed to face on a daily basis. There was one thing she knew she wouldn’t be able to run away from and that was she was the daughter in law of a conglomerate family; and everything she does has an impact on the family as well as the business itself.
As the face of the company she has to work so hard to maintain the reputation of the company. She represents the company in everything she does and she really hoped that she will be able to do her duties well even during this period she is currently in.
Judging by the way everyone she met and talked with, it didn’t seem to be a big deal for her to be pregnant despite of the role she has in the company. Ever since the news hit the media, so many articles had been written and most of them were good, there were however those that were against every single thing she does.
They didn’t like the fact that she married young and especially to an older man who happens to be rich, she was labeled as a gold digger and people criticized so many things about her.
Being by her husband side had taught her to ignore about things that negatively influences her and focus on only those that can build her. And Sean was that person; he completed her and made her see the world in a new light.
He made her have this confidence that she can make it in life and do something great about her life without feeling sorry for herself. He taught her to stand up for herself and to be confident in herself.
Now she was walking, brushing shoulders and shaking hands of people who had millions and billions in their accounts, celebrities and all kinds of famous people she used to see on T.V.
Selena smiled at her husband as he introduced her to his friends and colleagues. She kept on receiving congratulatory messages regarding her pregnancy from them, she was happy that so many people were blessing her. She had a feeling that her baby will be a blessed child and she just couldn’t wait to see her baby.
However she wanted her child to be raised in a harmonious environment and in a loving family. The Sawyer’s house wasn’t exactly that friendly and she had to do something about that before her baby arrives. She wanted her child to grow up being loved the way she was.
She didn’t want her child to be raised in an environment that gave her Goosebumps like that. The thought of meeting at the family house was just so chilly and she didn’t know what to do but the fact that Sean who was used to his family dram will be there, gave her comfort and she knew that it will be okay as long as he was by her side.
She looked at her husband once more and he looked down at her. She could see his love for her deep in those eyes. How she just wished to just elope with him and get as far as she can from this place and have a quiet time together.
As if he read her mind, he leaned down and he kissed her on the forehead. Feeling his soft and moist lips touching her forehead, she closed her eyes and let the moment linger. This was great; she found all her worries dissipating.
*****
Sean was seated in the chairman’s office; he was officially done with a project that he had been working on for quite some months now. Since the project had been successful the Chairman wanted to reward him.
He smiled at the man who had shown him a lot of love in his own way as a father, a man who had tried by all means to change so that he could accommodate him and his needs, a man who had shown great love and trust in his inexperienced wife who had done wonders ever since she got the position as the face of the company.
“I called you here to say thank you for everything you did. You brought the tiger out of Andrew and I think it is time for him now to be the next C.E.O,” his stepdad said and he nodded his head.
“He has always been a hardworking man and I have always admired him. In a way he will never know, he was my role model. He made me to be competitive, I didn’t want to lose to him and I bet he too didn’t want to lose to me,” Sean said as he sipped his glass of water.
