The Billionaire’s Ex Wife

When they got to the meeting place, Daisy was already nervous, hoping that she wouldn’t be surprised again as she was last night. She can’t bear another day of surprises in her life.

“What is the problem, you seem tense,” Amanda observed, as they walked into the hotel.

Daisy didn’t want to tell her her worries because she didn’t want her friend to think she was sounding crazy. This appointment she was certain it wasn’t supposed to be a man. How did it turn into a man? awed her. She never knew the company’s owner was a male and now thinking about it, she would fault herself for not doing adequate research on the company before now.

“I’m fine, I’m just nervous with the whole thing, you know it’s our big deal.” She chuckled anxiously and sashayed forward to avoid further questions from her friend, leaving Amanda and her assistant looking after her in worry. Amanda knew the impact Daisy’s ex-husband was having on her and didn’t want to appear too nosey. She just hoped she would be able to pull through.

“Do you have the file from Elemis?” She asked the assistant.

“Yes, ma..” The girl hurried forward to meet up with her.

They soon got to the reserved booths where Daisy was already seated, clicking fastly through her phone that she didn’t even share a look as they sat down and the waiter came to welcome them. The assistant left with the waiter to lead the investors in when they came.

Amanda left her seat and went to sit down close to Daisy which garnered the other’s attention at once. “What?” She asked with a crooked brow.

“I am worried. I understand the entire Ethan dilemma but you said you will be fine for this,” She demonstrated with her hands.

“I am ready, Mandy. I promise,” She said and sighed. “This mean a lot to us and I will not let some stupid mistake in my part to ruin it, okay? So calm your tits.”

That got Amanda laughing. “That’s my girl right there. So I did a little digging into the man, it appears he has a fleet of fashion industries in Europe as well as the Southeast. He is a big one in this game and trust me, might prove a little tough, but we got it.”

Daisy was focused on her solely, “You saw his pictures?” She asked her with a wide eye. “Like, you saw him?”

“Yeah, what’s the problem?” Amanda asked with a furrowed brow. “You didn’t do any background check?” That was disapproval Daisy could spot right there and suddenly felt overwhelmed by guilt. She pouted and slouched back to show she was guilt-ridden and at once sat up when they heard the click of heels coming towards them.

“They are here!” She yelled and stood as the man and a lady came into view with her full face beaming assistant talking to the man about something which stopped when they neared the table.

“It’s nice to finally meet you in person, Daisy and Amanda,” He greeted smoothly and from his behavior, they could tell he was either a member of the queer community or a core supporter. Either one, Daisy was thrilled. It would make business smoother, plus, she was relieved now that it wasn’t what she was thinking. She had thought it was Ethan. With the latest development, there is nothing he can not pull off.

The meeting went smoothly from there and just as she envisaged, they didn’t talk for long as he was very pleased with their portfolio and sealed the deal there and then. The two friends couldn’t believe it. Usually, deals are not sealed this fast. There will be a design presentation and about two extra meetings with more design to convince the other party that they were worth being given a shot and here he didn’t even seem too invested as though he was 100 percent certain of their proficiency.

Either way, Daisy and Amanda were pleased, and from there they left for the favorite spot to celebrate their victory. This is one of the thousand deals they have sealed but it was the fastest and for whatever reason that made the man decide so fast, Daisy hopes he doesn’t change his mind along the way. That was why the entire process was worth it, as they will have so many instances to know what they are going into.

“Girl, he came with his eyes straight out of the water!” Amanda blared as they clinked their glasses. “I knew that design would kill it. It was made from raw blood and silk!” She was so excited and Daisy knew they deserved the happiness. Particularly Amanda. She has so much faith in the upcoming show and has been putting in so much effort to make sure things go smoothly unlike her who has been going through several distractions lately.

“Thanks for all you do, Mandy,” She said sincerely and tipped her glass to her.

Mandy boons her head at her to refuse her applause. “You do more. Have you forgotten this show was your idea? The nights you stayed creating designs?”

It was so vivid to Daisy. She knows the new kvek this show would take their brand and she can’t wait for everything they both sat late at night in the office envisioning to come to pass. It was a dream with extra effort and they deserve to make it happen for them.

“I think we should start heading home, it’s almost late…” Amanda looked at her phone. “I have intentionally been avoiding Becky’s call since the meeting.

“Why?” Daisy picked up her bag and her assistant picked the other items and hurried out ahead of them. “Getting tired already?” She hardly thought so. She sees the way her friend looks at Becky. She had never looked at anyone like that in a long time.

“No, that’s not it. I know she would haunt me on my destination and indigent want to have to explain this to her through the phone.”

Daisa never thought she would do this but she smiled and came close to Amanda ri say, “You know I think she’s the one. She’s kinda… Sweet.”

Amanda’s eyes widened as she rounded on Daisy. “You said that?”

“Yeah, I did!” She broke out laughing loudly. It would be unfair to say that the brunette was anything different to what she just said. She might have disliked her at first for being the girl her ex-husband was about to get married to had she not stopped it, still, but now, she could see better and knew the girl didn’t deserve it. It was all on Ethan.

“I think she will need to hear this,” Amanda said and hurried to the car that was in front of the bar, its doors already open to them. They slid in and the door closed as the car zoomed off the parkway.

“So the next thing is to start the production. We will have to make sure we have the floor managers making sure that the girls are up to both in their work every day, what do you think?”

Daisy smiled. “Yeah, but as for that particular design, I kinda think I would want to handle it myself.”

“You want to?”

“Yeah… I want to oversee its production in every way down to the best day and its debut. Babe, that design took me a week to produce, I don’t want anything to ruin it!”

“Yeah, you are right,” Amanda said in a distant voice. There was a moment of salience as the car rode with each engrossed in their thought. Then Amanda said, “You know I was thinking. ‘Maybe after the show, we should go to Paris for a vacation, to relax and start afresh by then Danny will be back to to school”

Daisy thought about it. It would be a good idea. She needs to recover her head on so many things and it would afford her time to deal with her demons far from here without finding her heart skipping each time she thinks of a certain someone. “Yeah, I agree with you. I would want to unbox too,” She snickered and reached out to take her friend’s hand. “If you like her, then keep her, okay?”

“Yeah…” Amanda muttered nervously.

It made Daisy recall that day that they wrecked the wedding and she giggled at the memory collecting exactly what she said before they went in.

“What?” Amanda asked.

“You remember that day I had said you could snatch the bride from the groom?” I laughed out at the end of the statement and she joined in.

“It turned out your statement came to pass. I have indeed snatched her from the groom and this time…” She smacked her lips, making up her mind. ” I think I’m going to marry her!”

Daisy’s eyes lit up. “That’s great news, Mandy. I’m with you all the way… Have you introduced her to the kids?”

“She hasn’t met them yet but once they get back from visiting their granny, I will formally introduce them. They already know of her and she is dying to meet them.” She was truly happy that things were working out for Mandy after so long. “And you know what else?” Daisy shook her head. “I’m telling them.”

“Mom and Dad?” Daisy couldn’t believe it. Those were her greatest fears.

“Yeah… I can’t hide it from them anymore. I already gave them grandkids, it’s time I do my thing my own way.” Her voice dimmed at the end.

“I’m so proud of you, girl!” Daisy hugged her from the side and kissed her hair. “We will do it either if you want.”

“You will come?” Amanda asked in an exciting voice.

“All the way, bitch! Don’t forget this is my dream coming true for you!” And they laughed all the way home.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
