The Ceo's Ex-Wife

|| 22 ||

Valery's POV

There he stood grinning at me smug, while I stood frozen in my place trying to figure out how to comprehend the current situation I was in

"I found you"
His voice echoed through my ears as I tried to process the situation in my mind

Lucas was here, after 2 years..

So many questions rang through my head as I stared into his deep brown eyes, I couldn't even process what was going on, all I could think was his words he had just say

What did he mean, he found me?

Was he looking for me?

No that couldn't be it, we weren't even that close before, why would he even be looking for me

"How about we get started" Hunter's voice snapped me out of my daze

As I took my seat by Tanner, who sat at the center then me at his right, with Hunter or his left and Samuel beside Hunter, everyone else took there seats while Lucas took his seat on the center on the other side of the table

Everyone had begun talking, but all there voices sounded blurred and muffled to me, it was the like the world around me wasn't moving correctly, I didn't know how to explain this feeling as I stared at him across the table I wasnt really comcerned to what they were talking about , since I was only here to represent my department, showcase my designs, and our departments progess, ect, I need to be serious, Lucas and this situation maybe uncomfortable, but he is a client regardless, and any support from him will be good.

He barely changed.. I thought to myself

I tried everything in my power to remove my gaze off him, but there was a part of me that wouldn't let me, he was too busy with their discussion to notice I was staring

I snapped out of my current stance when I heard my name being called from beside me

"Vallie, do you mind" Tanner asks me motioning to the files that contained some of our designs

Realization quickly hit me, I stood up from my chair grabbing the files and placing each design and our recent statistics and sales from our stores, on the board for everyone too see I need to focus on the matter at hand and not some old friend that just happens to be the Ceo who is trying to merge with us, so I took a deep breath inhaled and exhaled, turning around to face them with a smile on my face before beginning to speak

"Good afternoon, I am Vallie Stone I am head of designers and I am also one of the mangers of this company" I began with a smile, trying to look at anything then Lucas "on the board you can see our sales have recently been increasing around 2-3 months ago" suddenly before I could continue a all to familiar voice stopped me

"Why aren't they increasing anymore" I look at him dead in the eye looking for any mischief, but that look in his eyes I knew he was dead serious, I wanted to glare at him or snap at him for interrupting but I couldn't it wouldn't be good for my image or the company's, so I sucked it up and answered his question politely

"Our latest designs have yet to be released" I said as kindly as I could though my teeth "we will showcase them on June 9th at Klien fashion very first fashion show, many other ceo's and wives and girlfriends will be there along with models, actors and actresses to bid on a first edition dress" I smirk to myself as I speak "if anyone has any questions feel free to ask" I say smiling mainly at Lucas who was looking at me with something in his eye that I couldn't read, I was doing my best at trying to hype up, amd sell our event, I will be honest marketing has never been my strong suit
