Chapter 5 5th chapter

The company had given Irina a week's leave to rest before returning to work.

Irina and the twins had already prepared to go sightseeing around the city while having a mother-to-children fun time that week.

However, within three days, Irina was told, especially by her boss, that a very wealthy lady asked her to design a wedding dress for her wedding ceremony, which was fast approaching.

Irina was a designer who was highly sought after by rich and influential families, so she wasn't surprised, but there was a problem.

Her wealthy client was waiting to see her at the company, but the twins hadn't signed up for school yet, so she had no other option but to take them to the company.

"Aleena, listen to mommy's words. Mommy will meet some clients later. You both stay in mommy's office and be obedient. Don't walk around mindlessly, okay?" Irina spoke softly while ruffling Aleena's soft, dark hair.

"Don't worry mommy, We'll behave well "

Irina pursed her lips and laughed; she lowered her head and looked at her wristwatch, "Alright, I'm almost late, let's go!"

They quickly left the house, taking a taxi to the company. The company had an office building, which was very grand. She brought the twins into the hall and walked into the elevator where her female assistant, Diana, was waiting for her.

"I'll leave Alex and Aleena with you. I'll go see the client and please, watch over them, especially Aleena. Don't let them run around"

"What? Mommy, why do you always see me as the bad kid? So unfair!" As Aleena spoke, she stumped her little feet on the marble floor, her Rosy round cheeks puffed out, making her look adorable.

"Awn... So cute!!" Diana gasped as she pinched Aleena's cheeks with her left hand while using the other to take several pictures of her.

"Don't worry about them, Miss Irina; I'll take care of them very well in your absence." Diana happily accepted the job.

As long as she could stay with these cute little twins, Diana was extremely happy.

"Aleena and Alex, do you guys want some chocolates? Auntie will give you some chocolate candies!" Diana took out chocolates from the desk to lure them.

Diana knew that the road to a child's heart was chocolates; after all, no child could resist the rich sweetness of chocolates.

Alex stared at her blankly as he took off the earbud attached to his ears. His eyelashes were extremely long. Things got awkward quickly and Diana froze for a split second.

Miss Irina had mentioned that her son was an introvert and it seemed like she was not lying.

However, Diana had a different thought when she saw the look Alex gave her. She felt like the boy was looking at her like he was looking at an idiot.

"Chocolate candies aren't essential for the growth of a child's teeth" Alex spoke coldly as he stood in the middle of Aleena and the chocolate candies.

"Okay, How about the movies??" Diana said with a nervous chuckle.

"No need" Alex only said two extremely cold words.

"Ugghh." A frustrated groan escaped Diana's lips as she turned towards Irina, who was about to leave. Diana's blue eyes were as clear as the ocean, revealing the question she was tempted to yell out loud.

"Why is he so hard to Please!?"

Irina only smiled in return before walking away. Irina first went into her superior's office; her superior was a very capable Young Man, 31 years old, and was also a single father who had divorced and had a child. Therefore, he took care of Irina at work and helped her a lot in these few years.

Irina admired and respected him a lot.

The moment Oliver saw her, he looked at her with a solemn expression. "Irina, I've met this client of yours; she is a very cautious and wealthy lady, and it's a bit difficult to handle. Besides, her requirements are very high, and the price offered was even higher than what we had expected. You have to be careful, the company values this order very much"

"Don't worry, leave this to me; I'll complete this task successfully and with no problem," Irina said with confidence.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then, she'll be waiting for you in conference room 9"

"How should I address this client?"

"You just need to address her respectfully as Mrs Willer; we could get extra credit for that," Oliver replied.

The title "Mrs Willer" caused Irina's heart to stop beating for a split second. Thus Mrs Willer must not be who she thought to be!

After all, many other people are bearing the name Willer.

Irina prayed in her heart as she reached the 9th conference room.

An assistant was standing by the door and upon seeing her, he took the initiative to open the door for her. Irina walked in, and when she looked up at the elegant woman sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, Irina's heart tightened.

The person she didn't want to see was sitting in front of her and unfortunately, she couldn't even dodge it.

It was Vanessa Eliss.

When she saw Irina, Vanessa also raised her eyebrows in shock. Her red lips raised into a proud and mocking smile "It's you, I thought I saw your name wrongly"

Looking at Vanessa's face, everything that occurred six years ago was once again reflected in her mind. Everything she had gone through, the anguish she had felt even till today was caused by this woman's constant taunts and evil schemes.

Irina clenched her Fist tightly beside her. She tried to suppress the memories and swallow her hatred. At that moment, Irina had no arm to fight with these people. She thought of her kids and now, what she wanted most was to live a good life with her children.

Irina slowly loosened her clenched fists; her calm and elegant aura oozed from her body, filling the room with a natural feeling that eased one's heart, except for Vanessa's.

Then Irina took a step forward, walking towards Vanessa.....
