Become the Wife of A CEO

“She’s literally the most talented designer in the human history. She fought her way onto the international arena and has got so many big designer awards. Oh, and I heard that she’s an absolute beauty, prettier than the most beautiful actress.”

Sarah was always thrilled about gossips.

“But she is always mysterious, and no entertainment media or news journalists have ever interviewed her, or even taken any picture of her! But our magazine is really reviving from hitting the rock bottom! Elaine said that she would agree to take one interview. This is a once-in-a -lifetime opportunity, so our competitors are all struggling for it!”

“Look!” Sarah pointed at Darren’s office, “Mr. Kirkland is also working hard to get the opportunity!”

While the entire office was having a heated discussion about how they could interview Elaine, Darren suddenly came out.

“Quiet, everybody, I’ve got some news.”

Everyone stopped their discussion and looked at Darren eagerly. The office fell into dead silence.

Darren gave a mild cough and said, “The good news is Elaine agreed to accept our interview.”

Everybody cheered in rapture as they heard him.

Then halfway through their excitement, they began to think who was the lucky one to do the interview with Elaine.

Diane raised her chin proudly, and looked at Darren as if seeing a bright future ahead of her.

“And the person who is going to do the interview,” Darren suddenly changed the subject and said, looking around the office before stopping at Clara, “is Clara.”

With such a slap in her face, Diane felt restive and humiliated.

It was supposed to her job!

Why?!

How come the opportunity just fell on Clara as soon as she came back?

“Mr. Kirkland! I object!” Diane said loftily, and everybody looked at her.

“There’s no room for objection. This is an order and decided arrangement. Unless you want to drag the whole company down with your perversity,” Darren reprimanded her harshly.

Daring not and unable to retort, she pursed her lips and glared at Clara, with obstinacy, grievance and hatred in her eyes.

Clara felt chills sent down her back by some eyesight, as she turned her head around, Diane had recovered her countenance.

The whole office sighed with a tinge of dissatisfaction and confusion as they heard the arrangement.

Why did Clara get to do the interview?

In terms of professionalism and qualification, she was supposed to be at the bottom of the list.

Was it because of her background as the wife of Solrace’s president?

At the thought of that, everybody looked at Clara with jealousy and disdain.

But for the sake of her background, they congratulated her in a lukewarm manner, “That’s so great, Clara, and we’re all counting on you.”

“Congratulations, Clara.” Sarah was sincerely happy for Clara.

As Sarah saw it, she preferred Clara to be chosen for that interview with Elaine other than any of those hypocrites.

“Thank you,” Clara appeared grateful but was all the more confused.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

What was Darren trying to do by assigning the job to her?

“Why? Why do you do that?”

Clara followed right after him the minute he stepped into his office. She frowned, “Darren, is this part of your plan to mess with me again?”

It’s not that she deliberately looked at him in a bad way, but that based on his history, every time he had asked her to interview some big figure, he had done it for some sordid purpose.

“What?” Darren couldn’t follow her until she saw her defensive little face.

He found it ridiculous and pathetic.

Had he descended to a point where Clara got suspicious of whatever he did or he said?

He knew that he was to blame for how had become with each other. It was all because of the pain he had inflicted on her.

Anyway, he needed to explain.

“You got me wrong,” Darren explain to her with a bitter smile, “It’s Elaine who wants you to do the interview.”

Darren even showed her the text record between he and Elaine, afraid that she wouldn’t believe.

Clara took over the phone and checked the record and felt embarrassed that she had misunderstood him. “I’m sorry. I apologize.”

“That’s fine,” said Darren, “To be honest, I don’t even know why Elaine would ask you to interview her. She asked me if you worked for our magazine, and I said yes, then she agreed immediately. I feel something’s kind of weird. Be careful.”

Actually, Darren himself had no idea why Elaine did that.

But the company had not been going very well, so it would be the best chance for them to move on and he can’t stand to lose it.

Whatever the reason could be, Clara had to take the interview.

What’s more, the magazine would look worse in the future if they crossed Elaine.

“OK then.” Clara knew that she would have to do the interview.

But she just really didn’t understand why Elaine would ask her to do the interview in particular, given that she didn’t even know her at all.

That Elaine wanted Clara to interview her was known by the entire office, though Darren didn’t say that in public.

People were confused. What had Clara done to make the elusive Elaine want an interview with her?

After all, not everyone was able to see things in perspective, so there were always some sarcastic noises.

But for sure, there were also some sycophants.

“Good for Ms. Kirkland, so resourceful.”

The other one echoed, “Yeah, that’s not something nobody like us can ever pull off!”

Clara had no clue what Elaine’s motive could be, but she was doing it anyway. This was her obligation and responsibility.

So she decided to spend three days preparing for it.

In order to get the job well done, she did some research on the mysterious Elaine on the internet.

She had to admit that Sarah was right, she was indeed as mysterious as Sarah had described.
