Married to the President novel Chapter 12

Next day, Theresa Mo got her kids dressed up and ready for school. It's going to be their first day in school and her first day in Office.

  She looked at the boy's and they looked great in their school uniforms. They're three years and a half years old but have the brain and smartness of a ten year old.

  "Are you going to accompany us to school?"Lee Mo asked. He was going to kindergarten in his former school until his mother told him and his brother that they were returning to their country and started another school.

  "Of course darling, I will drop you off at school and return to pick you home"Theresa Mo answered and kissed his temple. She planted a featherlight kiss on Tim's temple as well before walking them out into the car.

  She got into the car and started the day ignition. The kids were so excited, they're going to a new school where they will have  new friends.

  Theresa dropped them off at school and went to the Li's Group where she is to resume work. She was stepping out of the elevator when she bumped into a tall figure. 

  She almost stumbled over but fell into the arms of the man. She felt embarrassed and mumbled sorry before regaining her balance.

   She apologised and felt the scent of the man's body was somewhat familiar. She apologized but before raising her head and looking at the man's face, he already shoved her aside casually and took a handkerchief cleaning his arms and suit on which Theresa Mo fell on.

  He had turned his back to her and the elevator gradually closed. She looked around and saw some unfamiliar faces staring at her.

  " Hello I'm Theresa Mo, a new employee of the company. I am to see the President first before settling down into the office"Theresa Mo explained to the person closest to her.

  She was directed here as the President's floor where she can find him. She presumed the person she was talking to must be a secretary with the ID card hung around her neck.

   "Do you know the President if you see him?"The fellow asked and Theresa Mo said no. She's never met him before.

   "I presume. The man you bump into when you were stepping out of the elevator is the President and I guess he is traveling" the secretary replied and smiled at Theresa Mo.

 Theresa Mo was speechless. He was leaving when she was walking in. Who's going to endorse her to office now?

  "You are welcome Theresa Mo. I am Julia Li, the vice president" The voice came from another end of the lobby.  

  Theresa Mo turned and saw a cute looking dude who bears a lot resemblance with her boys. She squinted and then smiled. 

  " Hi" Theresa Mo greeted him with a polite smile. She walked over to him and he shook hands with her before asking her to follow him.

  Theresa Mo turned back and smiled at the secretary who first talked to her and waved at her. The secretary bowed slightly and smiled back at her.

  The secretary admired Theresa Mo at once and liked her. Theresa's smile is contagious.

Her smile automatically makes you have a relaxed facial expression and willingly reciprocate it.

   Julia Li took Theresa Mo to his office. A well furnished room with a sophisticated sofa. The desk was made from special timbers, maybe mahogany to be precise.

   He offered her a seat and told her he was to welcome her to the company. The President wouldn't be around for a week and she needs to resume work at once.

   He is President Junxie Li's brother. He gave a brief introduction of himself and at the same time was throwing snacks into his mouth.

  Theresa Mo likes his humorous side and appreciates him. He showed her to her  office adjacent to the President and Vice president.

  Theresa Mo got an office and she was pleased to start work at once. She included it in her resume that she's a single mother and Julia Li told her she should feel free to ask him questions on things she doesn't understand.

  Her first job came right that day. She's to design a set of jewelry for a highly placed country ambassador in celebrating his wife's birthday.
