My Unexpected Marriage - Chapter 34

“Come in” Zeus said and Shanell stood from sitting beside him grabbing some papers on the table next to the couch. Zeus tried to control his urge to laugh seeing how Shanell is trying to hide their relationship from others.

“Oh no. Did I interrupt anything?” Drake asked when he saw Shanell’s flustered face.

“No, you didn’t.” Shanell immediately replied and rushed towards the door while Zeus getting angrier by each passing seconds.

“It should be important matter or else you know what will happen, right?”

Drake could see the dark aura forming around his big brother. He gulped and said.

“It’s about Sparta Corporation.”

Zeus’ expression changed from anger to serious in that split second. He stood from the couch and walked towards his desk. He sat on his chair while Drake sat on the chair opposite to him.

“What is it?”

“David Watson is back and he is taking over Sparta Corporation in next week.”

“Start the plan A and if it is not going to work then immediately change to plan B.”

“Are you sure brother?”

“Do we have any other choice? Either we collaborate with the Sparta Corporation or we will have to overcome them by other means. You know that, right?”

“Yes brother, I know it.”

“Then do as we planned. David is not like his father, John Watson. So I think we won’t have to go for plan B.”

“Ok”

Drake said and went out. He went straight to Shanell.

Shanell was doing her work at her work station. Drake slowly went to her side and asked.

“Sister-in-law, how are you? Did I interrupt you and my brother when I came? You two were up to do something, right?”

“Oh Drake, no… no you didn’t interrupt us. I… I was just clearing some doubts ugh… yeah some doubts about the work he gave me. And stop calling me sister-in-law in the office.”

Shanell said with a reddish face.

“Really, then why are you blushing?” .

“No I am not blushing, now stop pestering me and go do your work.”

“I know, something happened between you two and it’s alright. I am happy for my brother and you.” Drake said like a kid who got his favourite toy.

“Ok just go Drake I have work to do.”

“Ok ok I am going now and see you on Sunday at the dinner.”

Drake went to do the work Zeus gave him and Shanell went back to do her work.

Zeus didn’t wanted his brother to interrupt his time with Shanell but the reason was something worth his time so he find himself calmer than he expected him to be. Also the mood was gone and he don’t feel like to spent more time with Shanell for now, so he left the thought of being with Shanell and started to work on the file on his desk.

After a long evening, it became the time to go home and Shanell walked to Zeus’ office room to let him know that she is going to home. She knocked on the door and heard her fiance’ voice.

“Come in.”

Shanell went in and told him that she is going home. He checked the time on his watch and found that it is already 8 p.m.

“Boss, I will give the detailed report on the file given to me by tomorrow afternoon.”

“What? Wow, You are faster than Lisa? I didn’t knew you are a fast learner?”

“It is the file on our companies, so it is bit easier than I expected. And also there are so many things you don’t know about me, Big Boss.”

“Guess you are right, Nells. I thought I knew you better than anyone but now I know there are things I don’t know about you.”

“Yeah, I guess spying or should I say “stalking” for many years, didn’t help much and why are you calling me Nells?”

“Wow that is a pretty big accusation, Nells. I didn’t stalk you.” Shanell rolled her eyes at his statement. “And isn’t Nells the name Shane call you? I like it, so I choose to call you by that name from now on.”

“You know what you are really tough to deal with.”

“You really think so my dear?”

“Actually you are too good when you are with me than when you are with others. I can see that clearly. This is my first day in the office and I came to know about one thing that the only people who can deal with your arrogant and stubborn nature in this office is Drake and Lisa.”

“Oh you are wrong about that my dear. They can withstand me but the only one who can deal with my arrogant and stubborn nature is you my dear. You are the only person in this world whom I will accept my defeat and know it that only you can destroy me. You are my only weakness, Nells.”

“Wow, Zeus I never knew you would actually say something so touching.”
