Two families and companies merging with an arranged marriage of their oldest children.
Taylor is a single mom worki...
First day back to work and I'm excited about it. I'm not really someone that takes time off work, so I've been itching to go back there. Sometimes I don't know what to do with my time if I'm not working, so while Lilly has been at school, I've been reading books or reading the merging agreement that was finished last week. Anything to keep my mind occupied. I've also been avoiding Joe because I don't see a need to interact with that man unless I absolutely have to.
Lillys nanny is here to take her to school soon, so I gather my things in my bag before I head for the door. «You ready to go Taylor. my driver is downstairs» Joe asks as he comes towards me.
«I'm driving with you?» I huff and he smirks at me. «We are supposed to be married. How would it look if we didn't drive together. It would result in a lot of questions» he says, and I roll my eyes. Sure, he is right, but he doesn't need to look so smug about it. Yet another thing that makes him really annoying. But I must admit he looks attractive in the suit he is wearing. Its. Dark blue suit, white button up shirt underneath and a dark blue tie.
I'm wearing a pale grey pantsuit today with a pair of matching close toe heels. Who said that women need to wear a skirt or a dress to work in an office setting, I like wearing pantsuits. There is nothing wrong with a skirt or dress, I just like this look better.

We head to the office in silence, but he grabs my hand when we walk into the building. I'm about to protest, but the look he is giving me tells me that it's pointless to argue about it. in my eyes he is taking this way over the top, but whatever. I need to focus on the real goal here, I need to follow our fathers' rules so I can get my spot as the CEO that i've always wanted. It's what I've worked for and I'm not going to let that slip out of my hands now. Even if that means I need to stay married to Joe to get that position.
The receptionist is a woman who clearly has fillers in her lips, wear a shirt that shows off her cleavage and is glaring at me. «Good morning Mr. Hilton» she says flirtingly to him, and I want to roll my eyes. Of course that's why she was looking at me like that, I'm walking in with Joe. Flirting with a married man isn't a good look, especially when that married man is the son of the owner of the company, but whatever.
«Good morning savanna. Have you meet my wife?» Joe introduces us and she fakes a smile at me «nice to meet you Mrs. Hilton» she says, and I thank her and introduce myself.
We reach the floor where our offices are and walk in. There is another receptionist there «good morning Mr. Hilton. And you must be Mrs. Hilton» the girl who introduce herself as Cecilia Glendale says and shake my hand. joe already knows all these people because my dad's company is moving into this building where we will be operating out of.
«Mrs. Hilton» Selena says as she comes over to me. We have an agreement that at work she talks to me more formally if there are other people around. I wouldn't mind if she called me Taylor, but I get where she is coming from with wanting to appear professional.
