Mistress on My Husband's Phone Novel by Rina Novita

Chapter 14



Today was my first day at the office, I had to arrive early because there was a briefing with all the division heads from various branches this morning.

With natural makeup, a turquoise green tunic top, and a white skirt, my outfit today looked elegant and classy. I paired it with a white headband and a crystal bracelet.

I smiled, satisfied with my reflection in the mirror.

“Mommy…”

“Yes, sweetheart?”

“Why doesn’t Daddy live here with us?”

Oof. How should I answer Gillian’s question?

“Daddy has to stay with Grandma, honey!

“Mommy… I miss Daddy and Grandma.” Gillian looked sad.

“We’ll visit Grandma when I have some time, okay?” I consoled her.

“Now, off to school. Let’s go,” I continued,

Gillian’s face lit up instantly. After all, she was really close to her grandmother.

“Sofia, pick Gillian up at the lobby this afternoon. Don’t be late, okay?”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

“Come on, Gillian. I’ll take you to the lobby so your ride doesn’t have to wait too long,” I urged.

“Okay, Mommy.”

In the lobby, Joshua was already waiting for me.

“Good morning, Ma’am,” he greeted.

“Good morning, Joshua. Let’s wait until Gillian leaves for school first.”

Joshua nodded.

Charles U

Shortly after, the van for Gillian arrived,

“Bye, Mommy.” Gillian waved from inside the van.

After Gillian’s van disappeared from view I approached Joshua,

“Let’s go, Joshua. I’ll wait out front.”

I got into my Land Rover and sat in the back seat, opening my laptop to read. some emails.

An email from the head of HR caught my attention. It listed employees with poor performance, and Derrick’s name was among them. His attendance was poor, and he frequently left the office for long periods during work hours.

Next, I checked on Kendall’s performance. While her attendance was fine, the homewrecker had received several warnings for leaving the office without. permission.

I exhaled sharply, the pain resurfacing. They’d been sneaking around together for a long time.

Gillian’s words echoed in my mind. Poor kid. Divorce was hardest on the children. Gillian wasn’t very close to her father anymore, but the bond between, a child and their parents would always be there.

There was no way I could continue being in that marriage when I had been. cheated on. I needed to make Gillian happy, even if it meant not being with her father.

We arrived at the office. Joshua dropped me off at the lobby, and a security guard opened the door for me.

“Good morning, Ms. Johnson.” The security guard, John, greeted me politely.

“Good morning,” I replied.

John helped carry my laptop and followed me. With confident steps, I headed to the elevator, where two female employees were already waiting. They nodded at me in greeting.

As the elevator doors opened, I entered. An office girl stood in the corner with

her cleaning supplies.

The office girl kept her head down, not wanting to meet my gaze. Her body. language was familiar. I chuckled Inwardly. ‘Is that all the courage you have, Lorraine?”

The elevator reached the third floor, and Lorraine still hadn’t looked up. I confidently stepped out and headed to my office.

Bradley had done a great job with my requests. He was always fantastic to work with.

“Brad, come to my office later,” I called as I passed Bradley’s desk near my office.

He nodded.

I entered the office that was now mine. I used to be Uncle Benny’s, but Bradley had transformed it. He knew my taste perfectly.

I smiled, pleased with the black–and–white theme and the live plants in every.

corner.

“Sarah, you’re here early,” Bradley remarked, entering my office.

“I wanted to catch any latecomers.”

“That’s HR’s job. You don’t need to bother with that,” Bradley advised.

“It’s my job too. I won’t tolerate poor performance,” I explained.

“Alright, it’s up to you,” Bradley conceded,

“Tell HR to send any latecomers to my office,” I requested.

“Got it, boss!”

“Oh, what time is the division heads‘ briefing?” I asked, opening the documents. on my desk.

“At ten, boss.”

“Why don’t I have a drink yet? Please send an office girl to my office.”

Bradley left, and a moment later, there was a knock on my door.

“G–good morning, Sarah.”

Wow, who’s this person?

“Call me Ms. Johnson! Got it?”

Lorraine nodded quickly.

“Sarah… isn’t there a more suitable position for me here?” she whispered, barely audible.

“Hey, call me Ms. Johnson!” I insisted.

“And if you’re unhappy with your current position, feel free to resign! You’re lucky to have been hired at all,” I snapped.

Lorraine’s face went pale.

“Now, get me a drink!” I ordered.

She quickly left.

‘Sorry, Lorraine, this isn’t like me. But you need to understand what it feels like to be mistreated and bossed around like you did to me.

‘So you realize that life can change at any moment. Not everyone stays at the top forever!

Lorraine returned shortly with a glass of water.

“H–here’s your drink, Ms. Johnson,” she said nervously.

“Thanks,” I replied without looking at her.

It was already 8:30 a.m.. As I reviewed Bradley’s reports, I waited for the latecomers.

There was a knock on the door.

“Yes, come in.”

“Ms. Johnson, these are the latecomers,” the head of HR announced.

Two people stepped into my office.

Without even looking. I knew who these two would be.

Well, Derrick, what were you up to last night with this homewrecker to make you late?’

I glared at them. How disgusting. I was sick of seeing them.

“Prepare warning letters for both of them. If they’re late again, fire them!” I ordered.

“Yes, Ma’am,” the head of HR said, then left.

The despicable pair turned to look at me. I deliberately returned their with hatred.

The pain of their betrayal hit me again. That morning’s scene replayed in my mind.

“Sarah… Can we talk in private?” Derrick asked suddenly.

Kendall glared at Derrick, clearly disapproving.

“You should be addressing me as Ms. Johnson,” I retorted.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“But you’re my wife, Sarah,” he insisted.

“Not for long,” I corrected him.

“And now, I am your boss! Got it?”

Derrick fell silent and lowered his head.

“Now, get back to your office!”

I couldn’t stand seeing them even a second longer.
