Married to the President novel Chapter 43

"Do you have drugs you can take?" He asked next and Theresa Mo said yes. He asked where she kept them and she wanted to stand up but he said she should sit down.

Theresa pointed in a certain direction and he went to get it. But he paused when he saw the various design drafts that Theresa Mo had made.

He checked through it all and admired it. These designs would definitely have fetched the Li Group hundreds of dollars if made into Jewelleries.

He got the pills and gave it to her to take. He saw various pictures of the boys littered around every wall of the small house.

It was like he was staring at his own childhood pictures. So identical if not the coloring. As soon as she took the drugs, it was getting dark already and Junxie Li was about to leave.

"If at any time, you choose to sell your drafts, only Li Group should be your target. Always welcome there"Junxie Li stated and next said goodnight to her before walking out of her door.

Before Theresa Mo could say thanks for your help, he was gone. At the time the heavy pour had stopped only that the drizzling was still there.

Theresa Mo went to the window and saw the tall finger slip into the car and soon the car went away.

She felt empty all of a sudden. It was as if Junxie Li had taken a part of her away. She looked through the window until the car disappeared from sight.

She doesn't feel bitter with him like she was that day. She remembered his suit was still with her. She would dry clean it before returning it back to him.

Two days later, Theresa went to the Li's Group, as a guest. She asked to see the President and she was asked if she kept an appointment prior to her visit with him.

Theresa squinted. She said No. The receptionist pleaded with her to call him first otherwise, her job was at stake. She's the third person being employed within two weeks.

Her predecessors lose their jobs because they let someone go in to see the President without a prior appointment with him.

Theresa Mo squinted. She went back and got into her car. She doesn't have Junxie Li's cellphone number but got Julia's.

When Julia Li saw the one calling him, he was in the President office, discussing how they would change the new chief designer.

She had designed a few works but all were mere shambles. The clients returned with Murmurings and till now, she has not been able to readjust the design to meet the clients taste and want.

Many demanded outrightly for Theresa Mo, the chief designer. They were directed here simply because they have heard a lot about her work.

The company kept covering up for her. They said she was on vacation and many of those clients said they would wait for her to return.

Junxie Li and Julia were discussing how to hire Theresa Mo back and reinstate her into the company.

Junxie Li said he hoped that she would come to see her drafts. Then they will have a way to pin her down with a contract.

Just then Julia Li's phone started ringing. His eyes brightened when he saw the caller was Theresa Mo.

"It's Theresa Mo calling. Is she here already?" Julia told his brother out of excitement.

"Answer the call,"Junxie Li replied. Seeing his brother was pleased at Theresa Mo's call, he placed it on speaker.

"Hi Julia. I wanted to reach Junxie but didn't have his cellphone number. Can you help me pass a message across?" Theresa Mo sounded happy on the phone.

That's who she was when Julia first met her until she realised who Junxie Li was to her kids.

"Theresa Mo, honestly I am not happy with you. How can you not have the cellphone number of the father of your children?.

Tha means you haven't been asking after the boys right? Junxie Li is fine. So what message ?"Julia asked.

Julia heard Theresa Mo laughing on the other end. She said that's why she wanted to leave a message and possibly from there she would get his cellphone number.
