I Hope You Will Never Regret

Two weeks before the Gala, Avery visited her husband at the Restoration Group. She approached the receptionist smiling. She had an insulated lunch bag and a huge bouquet of Juliet Rose flowers.

Kiki Daniels was stunned by her beauty. She smiled at her and said, “Good day, Miss. Nice flowers. How may I help you?”

Avery smiled and replied, “I would like to see President Taylor.” Kiki smiled and asked, “Do you have an appointment, Miss?”

Avery smiled and said, “No, I don’t have an appointment. Please tell him that his wife is in the reception area. He will allow me to see him.”

Kiki Daniels nodded her head and replied, “I will call Executive Secretary Knight to let him know that you are here.” Avery smiled sweetly at her.

One of the receptionists sneered, “It is the first time I heard someone claim that she is President Taylor’s wife. He is out of your league, please leave.” They all laughed except Kiki Daniels.

Avery looked at the receptionists who were laughing at her and asked, “Is this how you usually receive visitors?

Don’t you understand that a first impression counts? How many clients have you chased away?” They laughed out loud and ignored her. They played with their phones.

Avery took her phone and dialed her husband’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Honey, I’m in the reception area. They are bullying me, my handsome husband.”

Xavier was in the meeting when he received his wife’s call. He was so angry he dismissed the meeting. He asked Cole Knight to fire all the receptionists. Then he went to the reception area to pick up his wife.

Avery was fuming with anger; she walked behind the desk and said, “Let me teach you how to receive visitors.” She asked Kiki Daniels to work with her.

At that moment, a beautiful lady approached the reception area. When the receptionists saw her, they looked at Avery with pity. They laughed out loud, they were gloating.

Avery smiled and said, “Good day, Miss. How may I help you?” The beautiful lady was caught off guard. She felt a sense of crisis when she saw the new receptionist, she was beyond gorgeous. She was overwhelmed with jealousy.

As soon as she became Xavier’s wife, she would fire this receptionist. She is a threat to her marriage. Valeria looked at her with disdain in her eyes and replied, “I am looking for President Taylor.”

Avery smiled and asked, “Do you have an appointment, Miss?” She looked at her and replied coldly, “I don’t need to make an appointment. I am President Taylor’s future wife.”

Avery furrowed her beautiful brows and said, “President Taylor is on his way here. Please wait for a few minutes.”

The young lady was fuming with anger no one had ever asked her to wait before. The lady was the late Valencia’s sister, Valeria Moore. No one had stopped her before because she told them that she was their President’s future wife.

However, President Taylor refused to see her. President Taylor’s Executive Secretary, Cole Knight, told her several times not to bother President Taylor, to no avail. Before she said anything, she saw Xavier coming from his private lift.

When the receptionists saw President Taylor coming, they became scared. They thought Avery was joking. Valeria smiled brightly at him, but President Taylor’s eyes were on the lady behind the reception desk.

Avery flashed him a beautiful smile and said, “Good day, President Taylor. How may I help you?” His wife’s dazzling smile melted his heart. Anger dissipated in his heart.

He smiled broadly and replied; “I am looking for my wife.” Avery smiled beautifully and replied, “I haven’t seen her yet. Do you mind if I apply for that position?” President Taylor smiled broadly and replied, “It’s an honor.”

Avery walked to him and hugged him tightly. Xavier kissed her on top of her head and said, “What a pleasant surprise, my beautiful wife. Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming?”

Avery looked at him affectionately and replied, “I wanted to surprise you, my handsome husband. Also, I wanted to have lunch with you. I missed you.” She gave him the flowers, then she took her handbag and food.

Xavier smiled brightly when he saw the flowers and said, “Thank you, my stunning wife. I love them very much.” Then he kissed her on top of her head.

The receptionists were so scared. Avery looked at her husband aggrieved and said, “Hubby, that lady told me that she is your future wife. What is going on?”

Xavier turned his head and saw a woman looking at him with tears in her eyes and asked, “Who are you?”

Valeria’s face flushed red in embarrassment. She quickly calmed herself down and replied, “I am Valeria Moore. You told my parents that my sister asked you to never remarry. Were you lying, President Taylor?”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

A faint smile appeared on Xavier’s handsome face, and he replied, “Do you really want the truth? Your lying sister asked me to marry anyone but you.

I was puzzled when she told me that, but now I understand. She was scared that you would tell me her dark secret. Don’t ever set your foot in my company.”

Xavier hugged his wife’s waist, then he took an insulated lunch bag and walked to his private lift. Valeria was so shocked she couldn’t believe her ears. She stood rooted in the reception area until the security guards escorted her outside the premises.

President Taylor’s Executive Secretary, Cole Knight, walked to the receptionists and asked them to pack their bags and leave. They tried to apologize to no avail, and they were all fired.

Kiki was so upset because she wasn’t rude to Mrs Taylor. She tried to explain to Mr Knight to no avail. She took her handbag and waited outside the company crying. She cried for a long time. Her mother was seriously ill at the public hospital.

She was saving every cent to move her to the private hospital. She couldn’t afford to be fired as she urgently needed money to pay for her mother’s medical expenses.

The senior managers were still standing outside the boardroom when President Taylor and his wife walked towards them.

President Taylor smiled broadly and said, “This is my wife, Avery Taylor.” Avery smiled brightly at them and said, “Hello.” Public Relations Director, Mr Soap, smiled and said, “Hello Dr Martins, are you well? Do you remember me?”

Avery smiled brightly and replied, “Hello Mr Soap, how is your grandfather?” Mr Soap smiled brightly and replied, “My grandfather is doing well. Thank you.”

Avery smiled and replied, “I am glad. Please send my regards to your grandfather.” Then Xavier ushered his wife to his office.

Director Stanley was so disappointed when he heard that Avery was his boss’s wife. He was looking for a female lead for his movie, The Best Thing I Never Had. He felt that young Mrs Taylor fit the role of Victoria Lewis.
