Married to the President

Chapter 41: She's stubborn

Residence but his parents were there. He had no option than to inform him when he got home.

"..I don't understand Junxie, what really happened?" Julia asked. He had talked with Theresa Mo that

very afternoon after their lunch.

That was the sole reason why he asked her out for lunch, not because he wanted to flirt with her.

He had talked with her to behave properly and be calm when dealing with Junxie Li otherwise she isn't

going to see her kids again. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

And the same day she resigned from the company. Did she have another confrontation with Junxie Li?

Something has definitely gone wrong.

"I went to have a talk with her in her office. That's all that happened. When she brought the plan, she

attached her resignation letter to it" Junxie Li explained.

He wasn't going to tell Julia the content of the discussion he had with Theresa Mo or what he said to

her. That is strictly between the two of them.

"Honestly elder brother, I don't know what to say. Theresa Mo is angry and felt offended towards you

because of what happened that year between you both.

But I don't expect her to resign from her job because of that. There are other people who want to get

that position but I recommended her based on Lanre's request that I give the job to his friend.

I do not regret offering her the position, but what I least expected of her was to resign because

something happened a few years ago between her and the President of the company."Julia voiced out

his disappointment.

Julia said good night to his brother and hung up. He can't just imagine that Theresa Mo will take such a

delicate decision.

The employees of the Li's Group had the best welfare allowances besides incentives and salaries.

Many people desire to join the company, that's why they are never out of staff.

But Theresa Mo resigning from the position implies that she is letting all the benefits that would have

been hers be taken away because she doesn't want to see the President.

How does the office of the President interfere with her office? She blew off her license to live a

comfortable life and he would go through other applicants and offer them the position the next morning.

Junxie Li wondered at what Julia said. When the position was vacant, he was going to choose a great

applicant with years of experience and a name to herself.

But Julia Li said he has a candidate for the position. He reluctantly let him fill the position with his

candidates but didn't know he was doing it for his friend.

But he is glad. At least he met his kids. He now happened to know the woman he had been trying to

find for years.

The only challenge he is facing currently is that she's stubborn. He doesn't like women who are not

submissive. One of the reasons he disliked Yolanda was because she was arrogant and heady.

Whatever, she is signing her license to separation from her children. He had never hurt her

intentionally, but since she doesn't want to know the truth,

She can keep going about with a distorted mind setting about him. One day, everything is going to be

clear to them both.

Next morning, Junxie Li gave orders concerning the boys. They are henceforth forbidden to step out of

the Villa. Tutors are to be employed to take them lessons and basic etiquette.

They were to build a learning centre for them inside the vast compound. And if they have to go out for

any reason, they should be surrounded by bodyguards and covered with masks.

The steward answered and said ok. The young masters should be treated respectfully and made to

understand they are in a different place from where they are coming from.

They would not be seeing Junxie Li every day henceforth except if he wants to see them for any

reason. That's how the children of Li's family were raised.

They have to change their surname from Mo to Li. Their birth certificate should be made and their

name added to the Chronicles of the names of members of the Li family.

Especially because they are the first set of the new and youngest generation of the Li family. Then the

Chronicles are taken to their grandfather for signature.

After that, they have officially become a member of the Li family forever. He would integrate his boys

into the family and will go viral with them with time.

He had his breakfast and headed to the company. That day he looked arrogant and icy towards

everyone that saw him when he arrived at the company.

His mood was in a bad state and when the employees suspected that the President was in his mood

swings period, everyone parked well.

At such times, every slight mistake receives a sack letter. No query nor correction but outrightly thrown

out of the company.

Julia Li also observed his elder brother's harsh words and rebuke at the conference. His countenance

was emitting a chilling aura.

He wondered what had happened to him overnight. They spoke well last night and didn't expect him to

appear in this mood in the morning.

He gave orders without seeking the consent or opinion of anyone on any matter. He looked like he

didn't sleep well that night.

When he returned to his office,he instructed his secretaries that none should be admitted into his office

who doesn't have a prior appointment with him.

Julia Li went to his office. At this critical time when clients were making requests for design and

jewelleries was not a time to leave the office of the chief designer empty.

He went through the previous application and searched for the most qualified candidates and called.

The reply he received was that the individual had been employed by a rival Company and it's on a

contract basis.

That implies that she can't leave nor work with any other company besides the one she signed a

contract with.

Maybe that is what they should have done to Theresa. He had been negligent about it and handled it

on the basis of absolute trust on Lanre's friend.

He called Lanre and told him what Theresa Mo had done. He was going to employ someone else but

only wanted to inform him that his friend had failed him.

He wasn't expecting Theresa Mo to do that to the entire company because of having a grudge against

one man.

But Lanre was more surprised than Julia was the previous night when his brother told him about

Theresa's resignation letter.

Lanre asked that he should give him time and he will bring her back. Julia said the company has zero

tolerance for people who can't be trusted.

He can't leave the position vacant because of Theresa's personal relationship with Li's family. He was

placing someone in that position as soon as possible.

He didn't wait for Lanre to keep pleading or persuading him when he hung up. He is suspecting that his

elder brother's mood was related to Theresa's harsh behavior.

Lanre was really angry. He can't imagine that his persistence and endeavor to get the position for

Theresa Mo went down the drain.

What nonsense. If Junxie Li took the kids away from her, is leaving the company the solution to it? How

can she take such a decision to hurt herself and make his efforts end in vain?

This is not about her alone. It's also about him. He had produced someone that cannot be trusted.

Theresa Mo had made him lose face before his friend Julia Li.

If next time, he had another such request to make, will it be regarded? Will he have the audacity to

make such a request?

He tried calling Theresa Mo and the latter had switched off her cellphone. He had no option than to

drive down to her apartment to find her.

Lanre arrived at Theresa Mo's apartment. He got in and met her busy drawing a draft and with a glass

of coffee close up.

He walked up to her and saw her busy. Theresa Mo didn't so much as raise her head to welcome him.

" I tried calling you but your phone was switched off" Lanre stated. He is not happy with Theresa Mo

especially concerning that decision she took and resigned.

"Yeah, I switched it off" Theresa Mo replied, totally immersed in her work. She wasn't interested in

making or receiving any calls, so why put it on.

Lanre was already feeling irritated by Theresa's nonchalant attitude. But he still tried to hold on to his

temper.

"Why aren't you at work?" Lanre asked another question. This time, Theresa paused and placed her

pencil down on the desk where she's been drawing.

She raised her head and glared at Lanre with a killing intent. He definitely knows she's not at work

before coming to see her at home. Why was he playing pretends with her?
