TRUST

Chapter thirty

SANEM'S POV

It has been a month since Huma was sentenced, Can is not happy, he thinks she should have been given more time, but I just hope that her time in jail will make her realize what all she has loss. The Judge didn't even take five minutes to decide on her fate. He sentenced her to twenty years with the chance of parole in five. That is only if she continues to honor our wishes of no contact and stays out of trouble while in prison.

Of course, I have the letter she wrote to Can before her sentencing and it is burning a hole in my pocket. It is addressed to both Can and I, but I know she only did that to make sure I would make Can read it. Can says he doesn't need to hear or read anything she has to say. Ayhan seems to think she wrote trying to convince Can that I am still not worthy of him, which if I think about it makes sense as to why she addressed it to both of us.

My inner voice is telling me to leave it alone, we are happy and she is out of our lives but I need, no, I want to read the letter, maybe I will ask my Anne what she thinks, no, I will ask Mirhiban. Evet, I will see what she thinks, my Anne will only give me the evil eye look.

CAN'S POV

Today is the first day we will back at work, after the hearing, Sanem and I left on our honeymoon.  We sailed the seas for two weeks then went to the beach house. I wanted to be close to Istanbul in case I was needed. I am worried about Emre, we didn't get to speak after the hearing but when I called he said that Baba and he went to lunch with Julien Babineaux. Leyla told Sanem that they have met a couple of times and our Baba had always been invited to join them. I just need to see for myself that he is doing ok. I will check on him then get to work on the ton of paperwork I know is waiting on my desk.

The handsome couple walked into the agency, Can kissed his wife and then headed toward his office, telling her not to be away from him for too long. She smiled and wiggled her fingers at him in response.  She dropped her bag off at her desk close to CeyCey but didn't see her friend, so she went to Leyla's office, when she walked in Leyla jumped up and hugged her. They talked for a while. Sanem telling her Abla that she was glad to be back but had loved the time she had  alone with Can. The two sisters talked and laughed, until CeyCey ran in to hug Sanem.

Can had walked all over the agency when he finally asked one of the employees where Erme was, he was told he was out of the office for a meeting so he headed back to his office to start on the piles of paperwork. 

About an hour later, head down, concentrating on his work, Can didn't hear the office door open, didn't realize anyone had come in until a cup of chai was set in front of him. Thinking it was Sanem, he looked up quickly.

"Can Bey" said CeyCey "Sanem asked me to bring you a cup of chai"

"Can, CeyCey, just Can. And where is my lovely wife?"

"She is meeting with Deren."  Can nodded his head in understanding, he also would need to meet with Deren. Another hour passed and Sanem walked in and sat down in her husband's lap, kissed him and told him she was going to lunch with Leyla, her Anne and Mirhban. He said she should have lunch with him but Deren walked in.

"Can, we have a lot to discuss." she looked at the two, use to seeing their affection for each other she just continued "I ordered us sandwiches and salads so we can have a working lunch."

He sighed deeply and after another kiss let his wife go, watching until he could no longer see her.

They discussed a lot before the food was delivered, but Can could tell that Deren was holding back, she had something to say and he already knew he didn't want to hear it.

He took a bite of his sandwich and after he chewed and was finished he asked "What is it that is bothering you Deren? I know you have something to tell me so let's get it over with. You aren't quitting are you?" Can would not be happy if that was what this was about, Deren had always been a hard worker.

"No, I love my job, you know that." she looked him directly in the eye "Gamze called, Compass Sports has the need for a new ad campaign and they want us to take on the job."
