My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Terry Draw walked out of his office with a spring on his step.

This was the day he had been waiting for. Finally, he could pay off his debt of gratitude.

Though his happiness had bloomed from the fact that he would be getting a big responsibility now. It was akin to getting inducted into the Petrova family.

Liliana had changed his future, and it was something he would be grateful to her for the rest of his life. His immediate and extended family had managed to get out of abstract poverty and it was not something that he would ever be able to repay her.

Taking care of an orphanage for her was just his way of lessening her burden. If she were to ask him to manage a few more of her many charities, he would not mind.

Liliana had called him a few minutes earlier and scheduled a meeting for the next morning at Green Children’s Foundation.

Terry was ecstatic. He went about his day in a wonderful mood.

Before lunch, he received another update.

Jonathan Smith had arrived in the office after almost a month of absence.

Not unexpectedly, Jonathan called for a meeting in the late evening.

Jonathan was known to spend a lot of time talking to his employees and visiting his many companies and business ventures personally.

In the late evening, Terry gave a brief summary of his work – the new challenges, proposed next steps, anything peculiar he had encountered, monetizing opportunities, and so on.

Jonathan, a few other management staff, GMs from other Malls, and entertainment units that were a part of the Smith group were all present.

After a long discussion and reports from everyone, the meeting finally came to an end.

That was another good habit of Jonathan, he kept all the people in one room and encouraged discussions. His approach was quite good. Learn and Grow, and keep learning and keep growing.

At the end of the meeting, as Jonathan got up to make his way out, Terry called him back.

“President Smith, can I have a word with you in private?”

Jonathan looked at his watch and nodded asking him to follow him.

Terry went inside Jonathan’s private office and sat on the couch when Jonathan asked him to take a seat.

This was his way to indicate that what he wanted to talk about was not work-related.

Jonathan asked Vincent to get someone to send something to eat and drink.

He told Terry to wait and made his way to the window which was on the farthest corner.

He called Liliana who picked up right away.

“Let me guess, husband, you will be running late.”

Liliana could guess why Jonathan called just by hearing his unhappy “hey”.

Jonathan could not help but laugh, “Yes, Mrs. Smith. I have a last-minute meeting. This should not take long. Wait for me, please! I want to have dinner together.”

Liliana laughed at his childishness, “Don’t worry! I planned to wait for you anyway. Go on now, or you will just get delayed further.”

Jonathan heaved a sigh, “Bye! Darling!”

Liliana was stunned at the endearment and smiled after a few seconds.

Jonathan sat opposite Terry and just eyed him without speaking.

Terry started, “I saw the news! I had no idea that you are Lil’s husband.”

Jonathan nodded, “Yeah! We married 7 years ago and were separated. It’s complicated.”

Terry did not probe, “I understand. She never said anything, not that I was in any position to know about it, but she did not have a loving home when I knew her.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Jonathan waited for him to speak. Terry looked at Jonathan and spoke without beating around the bush.

“President Smith, I know it’s not my place to say anything, but Liliana is my savior. I have personally witnessed her kindness and seen her use her charm to help those in need. To me and my family, she is an angel. I don’t know about your dynamics and it’s not my place to probe, but I really hope you treasure her.”

Jonathan looked at Terry and smiled.

“Thanks, Terry! I am aware that I am lucky to be married to her. I will make sure to be worthy of her. Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it.”

Terry was pleased with Jonathan’s reaction.

They spent another half-hour as Terry recounted how he had met Liliana and how she had helped him hone his knowledge and get into Kings High.
