Insanely To Own You

Chapter 6

Marydeth seethed with anger, her emotions swirling like a tempestuous storm. Yet beneath the surface of her fury, a profound sadness lingered, casting a shadow over her troubled heart. The utterance of those words by the man who held her heart ignited a fierce anger within her, directed not at him but at herself.

In the depths of her contemplation, she entertains the notion that perhaps her own perception of her beauty falls short of satisfaction, or perhaps the gentleman in question found her demeanor less than agreeable.

Wendy, the very person who had stirred annoyance within her earlier, was now the subject of her friend's understanding.

Inside the hallowed halls of the school, she finds herself in the sanctuary of her office. A space that exudes an air of authority and purpose. Wendy, a trusted confidante, stands by her side, their presence a testament to the bond they share.

Together, they navigate the challenges and triumphs that come with their esteemed positions within the educational institution. In a state of leisure, they find themselves reclining and indulging in delectable morsels.

In the midst of their idle hours, a longing arose within her to seek solace and momentarily free her mind from the burdens of daily life.

As Wendy lounges comfortably on her couch, her eyes are fixed on the mesmerizing glow emanating from the television screen. Simultaneously, her nimble fingers gracefully dance across the pages of important reports, effortlessly signing her name with practiced precision.

With an impressive display of multitasking, Marydeth seamlessly divides her attention between the captivating world unfolding on the television and the crucial documents demanding her careful scrutiny.

Assuming the role of chairman, she has taken it upon herself to personally oversee the tasks at hand, driven by her unwavering commitment to monitor and evaluate the advancement of her esteemed institution.

Engrossed in her work, Marydeth found herself in a state of deep concentration. The weight of responsibility rested heavily on her shoulders as she delved into the task at hand. Her phone's melodious ring abruptly broke the peace of her solitude.

Startled, she reached for the receiver, her mind momentarily torn between the urgency of her work and the curiosity of the unexpected call.

Without hesitation, she swiftly responded, her mind already aware that the topic at hand revolved entirely around the very matter she had disclosed to him just the day before.

The voice, tinged with curiosity and anticipation, broke the silence. "Hello, butler?" she replied. With a gentle sigh, she delicately set the pen on the surface before her. Marydeth's gaze fixed upon Wendy, a subtle yet deliberate gesture prompting a reduction in the television's volume.

Responding to Marydeth's unspoken request, her companion dutifully complied, adjusting the volume accordingly. Her friend, always eager for the latest tidbits of information, couldn't resist the temptation to approach her.

With an air of intrigue, she discreetly positioned herself within earshot of their conversation, eager to catch every word exchanged between her and the butler.

The voice on the other end of the line, tinged with a hint of exasperation, uttered, "Young lady, I must express my weariness at your persistent requests for me to relinquish ownership of the esteemed Strauss Corporation into your hands."

A mischievous smile played on her lips. Wendy's gaze bore into her with an intensity that suggested she had encountered no one more malicious in her entire existence.

Marydeth arched a delicate eyebrow in response to her friend's remark. Wendy's head shook in silent disapproval, a gesture that seemed to convey her regret for the action she had just taken.
