Chapter

25

My life had been nothing but a dream for the past five months. Julian and I were truly happy, and it seemed that our marriage was going to last. I got promoted at work exactly two months ago and it was a complete surprise for me. I was told that I had the best performance

promoted to being the assistant manager of our department.

Of course, I heard some people saying I only got the job because I was the CEO's wife, but I was getting used to such accusations, I learned that no matter what, people were going to assume that I only had what I had because of who my husband was

Julian knew that whatever job I had at the moment was only temporary, I was still saving to build my own brand. He had offered to help me a lot. but I always refused. I wanted to start from scratch with my hard- earned money, not the money that had been given to me by my husband. Onginally, I wanted to quit working at the company after a year and move somewhere else, but Julian convinced me to stay

We also launch inve while and thieves always get caught. Sometimes I let things go loose for a small period of time to catch perpetrators" he explained

"Now, can I have a movie night with my beautiful wife!"

"Yeah, you can." I pecked his lips and reached for the remote to pick something to watch

"Anything in particular?" he asked me. I shook my head and let him choose. Our taste in movies was almost the same, except that he was into action movies, and I wasn't too fond of themL

When I woke up the next morning. I didn't find myself on the couch. Instead, I found myself tucked in bed and sleeping in his embrace. I did not remember going to our bedroom. I must have fallen asleep while we were watching the movie last night.

I stirred a little, but that made him tighten his hold around me, which made me smile. "We have work. Mr. CEO, I mumbled and kissed his cheek.
