Chapter 8 Eight

Athaliah slowly sipped the drink Silas had gotten for her. She looked around the much bigger private room that Silas had led her into. She remembered the small smile he had given her and the way he had familiarly called her Madam, the memories she had tried to desperately hide and bury had come rearing their heads in an instant.

She swallowed as soon as she heard the door open, the waffle of cologne that followed told her Callum had walked into the private room, she watched as he took his seat in front of her. Their eyes met and the world seemed to have frozen for about five seconds. Athaliah dropped her head for a second and raised her head up with a polite smile wounded around her lips.

"Hello Callum, long time no see" he greeted and Callum nodded his head.

"It's been a while," he replied, starting another bout of silence between them.

Athaliah held Callum's eyes but she couldn't help herself from staring. He had lost weight, that had been the first thing she had noticed when she saw him but she knew of nothing and nobody capable enough to make Callum Sinclair have sleepless nights. She was sure it wasn't work, Callum was excellent, efficient, and smart, there was no way he had lost weight over work, she was even surer than the deal with the Japanese that gave the government of Canada headaches and meetings upon meeting had been a walk over for him.

He was way more attractive, he of course hadn't changed the color of his suits even though he still looked ridiculously good in them.

"How's work?" Callum asked and Athaliah smiled lightly, "Work is fine," she replied.

"What do you need an investment for?" Callum asked again and Athaliah stared at him in surprise. Just because Callum had helped her didn't mean that the memories of their parting or their marriage had been magically erased.

"You don't know?' she asked, chuckling inside. After their divorce, he had erased her like that? She wasn't even worth 'check how she's doing, where she is.

"I do know you run a jewelry company" Calum confessed and Athaliah stared at him again in surprise.

"We are divorced, I cannot investigate you, that would be infringing on your rights and invading your privacy" Callum answered Athaliah's unasked question and she found herself chuckling lightly.

"You told President Collins either that I am your wife" Athaliah pointed out.

"I apologize for that, it was in the spur of the moment" Calum quickly apologized and Athaliah shook her head lightly.

Callum had called her his wife twice in less than three sentences, she racked through her memories and tried to count how many times Callum had referred to her as his wife in the most natural way that he did minutes before.

Two years seemed to be a long time because Athaliah was unable to come up with even one single memory.

"It's alright. Thank you for what you did back there, Thank you" she appreciated Callum as she slowly rubbed her wrists.

Callum pulled the proposal document in front of Athaliah and raised it towards her, "Can I have a look?" he asked and Athaliah paused meeting Callum straight and calm eyes before nodding her head, "You can".

She watched as Callum flipped through every page with concentration and seriousness. She had never seen Callum working before, he was barely in work mode and Athaliah for a moment understood the phrase Men are the sexiest when working.

Callum closed the proposal with an eyebrow raised meeting Athaliah's blank face, "Well done, this is quite good" he commented, and a full smile blossomed on Athaliah's face, "Really?" she asked and Callum nodded. Having an expert like Callum tell her that her proposal was good meant that the proposal was quite good.

"Would you like to come around to the office tomorrow? And meet the Director for Partnerships and Innovation, we could invest in your project" Callum suggested and Athaliah immediately shook her head.

"There's no need, I already have enough investments, I know that I lost one but I can get another one. I don't need your help" Athaliah immediately refused.

"Oh, don't be mistaken. President Collins won't be investing but donating, so you didn't lose any money" Callum said pausing, "And I'm not asking you as your ex-husband President Athaliah, I am asking as the current Chairman and President of Sinclair Corporations, we would like to invest in

your project" he finished and Athaliah stared at him mouth agape.

"I'll try my best to consider your offer" she replied after finding her voice. She then watched as Callum reached into his pocket and produced his card pushing it to her, "Please inform me by sending me a mail tonight if we'll be meeting tomorrow" he said and Athaliah nodded her head.

"Understood President Callum" she replied and Callum stood up, "It was good to see you Athaliah, have a great day," Callum said stretching his hand out for a handshake. Athaliah stared at Callum's outstretched hand for almost an eternity before slowly taking the hand. Callum's finger slowly wrapped around her hand warmly, one minute later, his hand was gone.

Callum walked out of the private room and Silas walked in, his smile slightly brighter than when he had first seen her, "It's good to see you ma'am" he said and Athaliah's lips pulled together in a small smile as she nodded her head.

'It's good to see you too Silas" Athaliah replied, watching as Silas nodded his head before stepping out after Callum.

Athaliah dropped her head and sighed softly, picking up her drink and finishing it. Her thoughts had flown in disarray, it wasn't surprising that Callum had saved her, his sense of responsibility wouldn't have allowed him to walk away but offering to invest in her project officially was totally out of her expectations. She knew the benefits of having the Sinclair Corporations investing in her projects, the exposure would be huge for the company, and that would be her company becoming a potential company to invest in for hundreds of other companies, they would be jumping so many levels..

But then, she also knew what would happen if the Sinclair Corporation invested in her company, she wanted nothing to do with those people. She pulled her phone out of her bag and dialed a number, the person picked up on the second ring, "President Athaliah, how was it?"

"Asa, please rebook my flight for tomorrow evening, I have something to attend to" Athaliah replied and her secretary paused before replying, "Yes ma'am" .

Athaliah ended the call and dialed another number again, and the latter picked up on the first ring, "My Presidenttttt" Kate screeched and Athaliah shook her head laughing "I told you to stop shouting in my ears, you'll break my ear drums one day" she joked.

"Don't worry, your eardrums will be fine" Kate joked back.

"Well, I'm currently at Savoury, come and pick me up," Athaliah said and there were over twenty seconds of silence from Kate.

"Atha, what did you say?"
