The Heir

AFTER that heated conversation between her husband and her mother, Victoria donned into her house clothes and went inside the study room to prepare for their company’s proposal to LS Group. She did not come out for hours and has no intention to do so until she finishes everything. She wanted it to be perfect so that the other party would be impressed to sign a deal with them. Victoria will do her best to make her family proud. And most of all, she would not let her husband down. Maximillian defended her so much to her family, and there was no way she would let that go in vain.

She raised her head when she heard the door creaked. Maximillian’s head peaked through the small opening and smiled.

“May I?” smiling, her husband asked.

Victoria propped a hand on her chin and nodded slowly.

Seconds later, he pushed the door to open wider. That was when she saw that he was carrying a tray of food in his hands. She could not help but grin from ear to ear. Maximillian’s gesture really touched her heart.

When he sauntered towards the table, she pushed the laptop and documents to the side.

“Max, this is too classy for a late-night meal,” she said upon seeing the steak and wine when he finally reached the table.

“Nothing is too classy for you, my love.” Maximillian put the tray down.

Victoria palmed her belly when she suddenly felt something in there. It seemed that she still got the butterflies whenever her husband acts sweet towards her.

Maximillian picked the bottle and opened it. He then poured wine into their glasses.

“So, how is it going?” Instead of sitting on the visitor’s chair, he sat on the edge of the table.

She started slicing her steak. It was cooked the way she wanted it to be, well-done.

“I am almost done preparing the proposal.” She popped a slice of meat inside her mouth and shut her eyes as she munched it. The savory taste of the steak seemed to replenish all the brain cells that she consumed for hours of making the proposal. “But I have this feeling that something is missing, so I am still reviewing it. Maybe I can make some revisions to make it better.”
