Chapter 56 point in your favour hubby.
It was a day for Carissa to start working in her father's office. Noah dropped her in front of the company. Carissa took a deep breath and glanced at the skyscraper. With confidence she entered the company. Mr. Zak already informed the receptionist about her arrival so she directly took her to the office which was saying Chairman on the nameplate.
"Good morning Dad". Carissa greeted her father.
"Good morning. You are on time I thought you will be late". From the day her mother died till bow she was always a late comer.
"I don't want my salary to get deducted". She remembered her first say at his office.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Zak could not understand the meaning behind her words.
"Noah deducted my salary whenever I was late. So in the end I became punctual". She quenched the curiosity of her father.
"It means my choice was right to send you there. He has really straightened you out". He looked happy. "I have called a meeting. We will go to the conference room in 15 minutes. Till then, have some coffee".
"Okay". Carissa said as she took a sip of coffee from the cup.
After sometime Mr. Zak took her to a white interior conference room, which was giving the vibes of sophistication. She elegantly walked behind her father in a red formal suite with a light make up and black matching Christian Louboutin heels. The people were chattering non stop but when they entered the room there was a pin drop silence. Carissa glanced at every single person in the room. Her gaze was sharp. She was changing maybe after living with Noah all the time she was getting colored in his colors.
Carissa sat with her father and he started speaking, "She is my daughter Carissa Zak". He introduced her, "From today onward she will be working as the Executive director. Do you have anything to say?" he glanced at the whole audience.
There were sounds of whispering in the room.
"Even if she is his daughter, how can he give her such an important position?"
"I have never seen this daughter of Mr. Zak".
"I am sure she has no experience at all."
"I can see from her face she is just a spoiled young rich heiress."
Mr. Zak was going to raise his hand at the people but Carissa immediately held his hand from doing anything rash.
"Are you guys done? Or there is something left to say?" She spoke in a piercing voice. The people went quiet.
"I believe there is nothing more to say now. Now, let me speak." She held documents in hand and placed it in front of the projector. Two documents were visible on the screen and came in the view of everyone. The people went pale, they were stunned to see them.
"I believe I don't need to explain them. But let me clear the things here…. The first document you can see is my degree from Harvard university. I mostly lived outside the country that's people are unaware of my existence. And if you want to talk about my working experience…." Carissa pointed at the other document, "I used to work at the White's empire. Being in the business everyone is well aware of Noah Whites, right?" All the higher ups nodded in affirmation. "This is the recommendation letter from him. He believes that I am qualified enough to work as an executive director."
"I think I am capable enough to work here". She once again said making people go speechless.
Deep in her heart she felt very grateful towards Noah. Even in her dreams she did not think about the recommendation letter. When he prepared it she was unaware. In the morning he handed over a piece of paper saying that she can need them. She did not think much of it. But it was a very bold move.
'1 point in your favor hubby'. She thought and smiled shyly in her mind.
"Yes you are more than capable to work here". An old man spoke. If she has a recommendation letter from Noah she can work anywhere in the country. People are dying to catch a glimpse of him and she has his recommendation. They can guess her abilities.
Mr. Zak felt proud of her daughter. He thought she was just messing around not in her dreams he guessed that she would be so serious about the work.
Carissa finally came to her office. She was used to being in his luxurious and exquisite office. The office here was nothing compared to his but it was her. Her name was carved on the nameplate.
She sat on the seat and the table was already filled with many files. She started to go through them one by one. She was amazed at herself because she could understand everything written there. Meanwhile at his office she spent the first day opening and closing the documents the whole day.
At the moment his name blinked on the screen. She opened the message.
"Hey beautiful. How's everything going?"
Her lips always curled up at the word beautiful. He said this while hugging her waist and placing his face in the crook of her neck.
"Thank you for the recommendation letter. Everything is perfect because of it".
Noah was in a meeting and texting his wife. There was a smile on his face too. The man giving the presentation was stunned; he forgot what he was saying to see him smiling.
"Really? Then you have to make up for it tonight". He replied back with a winking emoji.
Noah felt the room quiet….very quiet. He looked up and saw everyone looking at him speechlessly. Aaron cleared his throat to signal him about this quietness. His face turned cold instantly. The temperature of the room dropped. They employees thought he was in a good mood and it was a rare moment to see him smiling. But they were wrong. This smile was only for his wife.
The man giving the presentation was flustered by his deep and cold gaze. He once again tried to concentrate on it.
Carissa looked at his message speechlessly. He never let his chance go. She bit her lower lip and typed.
On the other end in the meeting room he opened the message and a laugh escaped from his mouth. "Yes. Yes you are the boss. I am just a humble disciple of yours".
The room once again went quiet. Did he eat something wrong today? Aaron sent him a text, "Boss stop texting your wife. Your employees are looking at you".
Noah glanced at the message he sent. He once again looked coldly at his employees. "You know how many flaws are there? The revenue of the hotels is continuously dropping. Your marketing plan is a total failure. Work on it again". Instead of getting embarrassed he rejected the proposal in one sentence.
He did not stay there for one more second and went to his office. "Then I will be waiting for my disciple". He replied back.
Carissa sighed at him. "okay".
