Her Betrayal

Braelyn’s POV

“What do you think?” Bri asked, showing me the large solitaire ring, settled on her finger through the video call. Her grin couldn’t have been wider.

“It’s beautiful.” I gushed, just as excited.

“Of course it is beautiful. After all, it’s my choice.” Ryan cake into the frame and his upper body was naked.

“Put on some clothes, can you?” He bent forward so I could see his face more properly.

“Why? You find me tempting? Afraid that you won’t be able to control your mind seeing me like this?” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and honestly, he looked ridiculous.

“I swear I haven’t seen someone more self-obsessed than him.” I said with a shake of my head.

“You love me anyway.” I heard him saying while he walked away. I rolled my eyes, a smile tugging at my lips.

“Are you still up for Saturday?” I asked Bri.

“Of course. I’ll see you.”

“See you.” I hung up and looked back at my laptop screen.

I sighed, looking through the mail before leaning back in my seat. We had finally secured the deal with the Simpsons and this was really important for our company.

After one years into our marriage, Evan had taken over the Bluetech Corp. What came as a shock was that he wanted me to be the CEO. As expected I had totally freaked out. I mean you can’t just run a company like that. Besides, I was skeptical that people would obviously claim that I got the position because I am his wife. Well that’s true but I too had my MBA degree.

However, when was Evan one to give up? He said that he could see the potential in me and I just needed to believe in myself. I let him talk me into this but then I was always being dependent on him about the final decisions to be taken.

I learnt a lot from Ryan and William. Evan on the other hand always had my back until I could finally take over the company in a true sense. Obviously I haven’t built the company from scratch but the sales had improved a lot in the past five years. Bluetech was now among the top twenty companies in the country and I had worked my ass off to reach this.

I glanced down at my watch and I knew I had to leave now. I picked my purse and walked out of the cabin.

“Chloe, I won’t be coming tomorrow. Don’t keep anything on the schedule, please.” I asked my personal assistant.

“Sure, Mrs. Lewis.” She said, pushing her hair behind her shoulders.

…………………………

As I walked into the building, everyone stared at me while some greeted me politely. Stepping out of the elevator, I immediately caught sight of Cora. She rushed towards me as soon as she noticed and pulled me in a hug.

“What a nice surprise!” She dramatically said and just like always her voice brought too much attention.

“Can you shut up?” I widened my eyes a little.

“What? I can at least pretend that my best friend is here to pay me a surprise visit and not just because her husband is the boss here.” She faked being hurt. I shook my head at her antics.

“Ms. Davis, the files are here.” She nodded at the guy before looking at me apologetically.

“Well, I’ll see you later?” I nodded.

“On Saturday. Don’t forget we have got plans!” I said a slightly threatening voice. She had cancelled on me last week because her boyfriend needed something and I wasn’t impressed.

“I wouldn’t dare.” She raised her hand in mock surrender and we both chuckled.

“Bri is coming too, right?”

“Of course she is.” I replied before walking straight towards Evan’s cabin but before I was stopped on my way.

“Excuse me.” I turned around to look at the girl, most likely Evan’s new P. A.

“Do you have an appointment?” To simply say, her tone held a harsh edge.

“No. I-” Before I could say further, her annoying ass cut me off.

“Then you will have to leave. Mr. Lewis won’t see anyone without an appointment.” She dismissed me without even letting me say anything and I wasn’t amused, at all.

“I don’t understand why people come just like that!” She snarkily remarked while I stood there observing how fitting she was to play the irritating P. A. with her shoulder length blonde hair.

“Why are you still standing here? I asked you to leave!” I wondered if Evan even paid her a proper salary. I mean why else was she being such a sour bitch?

“Well you shouldn’t have asked me to leave, considering I’m his wife.” She stared at me blankly for two long seconds before her face morphed into one of confusion.

“Wi-” I cut her off considering I had heard enough of her voice.

“Secondly, you should learn how to speak to people. Being a bit more polite to someone wouldn’t harm you.” She closed and opened her mouth twice before Evan walked out.

“Brae. What’s happening here?” He asked, looking between both of us. I looked away from her face before shaking my head.

“Nothing.” He came closer and pecked my lips. As he pulled away, my eyes fell on his P. A.’s face. She looked hurt, I could obviously guess why and for a very small second I felt bad but only a little.

“Clear my schedule for tomorrow. I won’t be coming to the office.” He said looking at her.

“Why? Is there something tomorrow?” She blurted the question almost immediately.

“The nosy ones! My favourite!” I muttered under my breath.

“Ms. Wills, you’re only required to do what I ask of you. Refrain from asking about things that shouldn’t concern you.” He looked at her with a hard stare causing the girl to shrink back.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lewis.” He didn’t bother replying and instead put a hand on the small of my back.

“Let’s go.”

Evan’s POV

“So that was your new personal assistant. And here I thought blonde and dumb is just a stereotype!” Brae said, pulling her hair up in a ponytail. She was sitting in the passenger seat in my car while I had my driver to get her car back to our home.

“Always gets on my nerves. I’m this close to firing her.” I said looking at my phone.

“She has a crush on you.” She said after a few seconds and well, now she had my complete attention. I put my phone away and looked up at her.

“What makes you think that?” She shrugged looking at the front.

“I just know it. She was shocked when she learnt I’m your wife. Probably hadn’t thought that the hot boss could have a wife.” She completed the sentence with an eye roll while I sat back watching her.

“Did you not see her face when you kissed me? She looked more heartbroken than embarrassed.” When she looked at me, my lips had already curved up in a smirk.

“Are you jealous?” Yeah, I didn’t need to ask her but still, hearing her admit it would have been really fun.

“No. Irritated. How can she just not see the wedding ring?” I chuckled at her expression. It was exactly what not being jealous looked like.

“Jealous it is.” She just rolled her eyes, again.
