Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 7



Since he had shown who mattered more to him between me and Margaret, there was no reason for me to keep it a secret any longer.

"What kind of surprise?" Bryant's curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to know immediately.

"I'll tell you after work. Wait for me!" I tiptoed for a quick kiss on his lips, then turned away, leaving him standing there.

After Bryant left, I finally managed to focus on my design drafts. I had no idea how long it had been before someone knocked on my office door again.

"Come in," I said, without looking up.

"Jane, am I disturbing you?" Margaret's gentle voice came through.

"A bit," I admitted because I hated interruptions when rushing a design draft.

Margaret's expression turned awkward for a moment, but she plowed ahead. "Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just found out that the Director position of the Design Department was supposed to be yours. I inadvertently took the position meant for you, so I'm here to apologize."

"It's okay," I said casually.

Bryant had already compensated me: l'couldn't make as much working my whole life as a design director as I could owning ten percent of the shares.

Perhaps my indifferent and relaxed demeanor surprised Margaret.

"Are you sure? If it bothers you, let me know, and I can switch departments. I don't want this to upset you,' she said, settling onto the sofa comfortably.

"Margaret, I'm not upset. You can stay in the Design Department."

'Please, just s stop making a fuss. I thought, fearing the company would go under befor could enjoy my shares with her around. At least in the Design Department, I could keep things under control.

"That's good. We're family here, so if feel free to talk to me if you're upset. Don't keep it all bottled up." This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Acting the understanding sister, Margaret tucked her hair behind her ear and added softly "Anyway, Bry said could pick any position in the company. I haven't worked for many years, so it doesn't matter which department I end up in."
