The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 281 - Meeting Ex-Boyfriend

At the same time, in Javier's company.

Staring at the reception, a lady was sitting with her anxious look. Gulping the saliva present in her mouth, she had no idea how to react at this point.

A lady came towards her, wearing a knee-length skirt as she looked at the girl and said, "Ms. Sierra? You're already requested. Please come with me."

"Oh-kay.." with this, Sierra stood on her heels as both of them made their way to the nearby cabin in which the lady guided her.

"This is the way. The three heads are waiting for your presence." The lady said to which Sierra just nodded her head in understanding.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed her raging nerves, 'You can do this.. Ah.. Sierra..yes you can...'

With the extra boost of courage inside her, she stepped inside to find two men and one lady sitting. The two of them lifted their eyes when she sat across the table, passing all of them a sweet smile.

"So..you are, Ms. Sierra." the old man asked, as he go through her resume as she nodded he had with an affiant smile.

"Yes, that's me. It is nice to meet both? of you.."

"Let us then start the interview..."

...

After thirty minutes.

Sierra stepped out of the cabin with a sigh and a satisfied grin that lingered on her face. "That wasn't as bad as I had expected.."

Since she knew that foreigners are really valued here and with her skills, it was easy to get things done.

The interview went way above then what she had earlier embedded and expected inside her brain.

Yet there was another level of threat that was present in her mind, whether she would be able to perform as well as she did abroad?

'Leave it Si. You will have to do this to your own self and for your dear children's survival..' At this time, her eyes traveled to her watch to see the time.

'It is already afternoon.. I should have brought my lunch here too. ' Unfortunately, she didn't.

When she's immersed in her own thoughts, the same lady appeared again when she replied, "They all asked you to wait in the lobby. We will get you back within a few minutes."

Turing her face around, Sierra nodded her head when she made her way back to the lobby. Keeping her large purse on her lap, she noticed how everyone engaged in their own work, obsessing over every skill.

What she saw was the level of professionals they were. Nevertheless, it was a hidden company. "Don't know why it isn't as popular as others.."

Just when she was shifting her eyelids, to take out her phone and go through her feed, did she find someone staring at her. Her instincts hit up immediately when she definitely lifted her eyes, to come in contact with another pair of eyes, enough to make her breathe stuck in her lungs.

Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out when she found her heart almost stopped beating against her chest. 'N..No.. w-what.. is.. he doing..'

Only if she could ignore this man. Unfortunately, this idea crumbled as the other man walked near her, with his eyes fixed on her.

"What are you doing here? In this company?" Standing on her toes, she gulped the saliva present in her mouth to hear this voice after so many years.

"C-Charles.. what.. this isn't your firm, right?" Doubt and fear were written all over her face when she recalled how carefully she never applied for his company after returning back to the states.

After all, things aren't how they used to be, even after she tries them to be, ultimately they will turn out to be worse than before.

In return, he shook his head. "No. This isn't mine. I believe....after many years, have you forgotten what the name of my company is?"

"No.. that is not what I meant." Her hurried reply clarified his doubt but she knew that it made him know that she wasn't interested to know about his firm anymore.

"Anyways.." he coughed slightly when he said, "What are you even doing here? You should be abroad, shouldn't you?."

"I..I. was here to get my work done. I mean.. I was here for my interview."? She hasn't lied, knowing that he had all the contacts in the world to know about her reason to come back.

Her comment raised his eyebrows since he replied quite unpleasantly, "Interview? Here?"

"I..I have shifted here from abroad." Her straightforward answer made a chuckle pass through his lips. A fake grin appeared on his face, "So, you're back in the state.. after such a long break?"

His gaze made her uncomfortable. Noticing that his current voice contained a lot of uncomfortable feelings for her, she found it to be really sarcastic.

"You can say that. I'm living here so.. I planned to apply for the job as well. What shall I do is do nothing at home, so just to get used to the life of being a working woman again" She wasn't in any mood to answer anymore but he seems to have found another kind of joy in it.

"That is good. You were always a career-oriented person and as far as I remember.. you love to work. Good for you and your work." She nodded her head in agreement, without uttering a single word.

How much does it cost to lift her eyes and stare into his? No, she doesn't have the courage to meet his eyes after what they went through and their ugly past.

But she was too filled with sentiments due to his arrival here. But before she could have asked for the same,? Sierra heard his question,? immediately making her eyes lift upwards to stare at his face instantly.

"So.. how is your family? Your husband and your.. children?"
