Our Love....After Forgiveness

Chapter Three

The next couple of days had Can diving back into his work, with the promise of a new client, it was all hands on deck. He insisted Sanem come to the agency everyday for inspiration, and lend her thoughts. She didn't mind, it was a way for them to be together and that's all she wanted. The reunion at the agency was wild. CeyCey was more than happy to see her, he had missed his friend and colleague. Deren was more passive about it but she did have a respect for Sanem's talent. They quickly got back into the swing of things. The potential new client had ask for a meeting to lay out the product information for them. The company was fairly new and looking to expand. They wanted a new and fresh look, something to set them apart from other companies. With the product being a whole new line of cosmetics, with an mineral base, it had peaked everyone's interest. 

They were making ready for the meeting with the advertising director of the company. With the company based in France, the move to expand to this area was crucial. The campaign had to be young and vibrant. Can was sure of his team and ready for the challenge. The director of advertising, and the director of sales, would make the deciding factor.  Deren had the info on the couple, Victor Aubrey was the Director of Sales and Juliette Benoit was the Director of Advertising. Both young and energetic. Very motivated to capture the market in this area. They had a large budget and that's what made Deren most excited about. 

Sanem had been hard at work on her new book. Ahmet had called outlining the new launch dates. It was going global and the popularity had skyrocketed. They had high hopes that the second book would do just a well. He ask if she was ready to take on more publicity, maybe a speaking engagement and a book signing. She hesitated, the thought of leaving Can made we feel weak. Ahmet suggested she think about it, his advise was to ride the popularity while it was the highest, it would make it easier when the second book was released. Being in the public eye had never been a comfortable thing for her, even with the agency and her first presentation, it was frightening. But over time she had learned to endure it. She worked hard everyday, writing, with Can working on new clients, she wrote about their love. Her little corner of his office had become her sanctuary, watching him inspired her, it made her creative mind flourish. The looks that were exchanged between the two at times, without saying a word, could cause a four alarm fire. Everyone in the agency knew to knock, and wait for permission before entering Can's office. 

She had to talk to Can about the possibility of having to go out for a publicly engagement, but she knew what he would say. Their lives had become so together and right, she knew he would be against it. But she had to think of her career, and engagements like that came along with publishing a book. If not this offer of a book signing, she knew it would have to be soon. Her fans wanted to meet her, see her face, to feel like they knew her. She loved meeting her fans too, they inspired her to keep going. Maybe after this new possible client, they could get away together, he could come with her and support her, helping her deal with the popularity.  She always felt more at ease when he was with her. After the meeting she would talk to him about it.

The next two days were busy, preparing for the meeting, finding all the information they could about the new product. He liked knowing all he could about the company before their first encounter. His life was so perfect, he didn't know how it could be any better, love and happy was what he was about. But still he wanted to spend time alone with her, not just in the office, stealing glances and hidden touches. Maybe after this client, the could get away.  " Back to work, or you'll never get this done." He demanded his mind. But the sight of her, sitting in her little spot in his office, sent such a wave of desire over him, it made him shudder. My god, that woman was magical, she made him think he could do anything. 

The day of the meeting was here. It was exciting for the agency, this company had a very large budget and was willing to spend it. It would push their agency to the top if they could snag the campaign. The conference room was setup, refreshments, tea, coffee and delicious Turkey desserts. Everyone had the information and was ready to go. As Deren escorted the couple to the meeting room, Can and Sanem came down the hall. Can immediately greeted them, welcoming the pair to his agency. He had included Sanem in this meeting, against the wishes of Deren, of course, but Can paid no mind  to her excuses. He needed her there to balance him, she would, no doubt, have an opinion and he all ways valued it. He introduced Sanem to the couple, and in an instant, Ms. Benoit recognized her.

She was gushing at the thought of meeting Ms. Aydin. She was a huge fan, causing quite a stir. She relayed to her colleague, that this was the famous author, that had just  released her book in France a few weeks ago. And it had become an instant hit, making it a bestseller. Sanem was humble yet excited that she even knew who she was. Ms. Benoit requested an autograph and perhaps a picture with the famous author, which brought a huge eye roll from Deren. Sanem agreed, after the business at hand. With that they started the meeting. The preliminary campaign had met with much approval and they would definitely be in the running for the campaign. All was well.....

They inquired about  the relationship between Ms. Aydin and the agency. Can proudly informed them that Ms. Aydin was his girlfriend, and also had been one of their top copywriters at the agency before she published her book. She was there as an advisor, he valued her thoughts. Can asked how they had come about their company. He told him they had come highly recommended from a couple of friends. Can being curious, asked their names. He said, " They are old friends of mine from way back, Yigit Ersoz and his sister Polen." I haven't seen Yigit since college, but I ran into Polen a weeks ago in London, she's the one that gave me your recommendation. She said she had been in a long term relationship with you, is that not true."

Sanem was confused as well as enraged, she looked at Can, waiting for his explanation...........

Hello readers, welcome to my new story. Yes, I'm introducing Yigit into this storyline. I know, I can't believe it either. Never liked Yigit in the show and I probably won't like him in this story, but seems natural with bringing in Polen again. Hope you enjoy, and don't forget to comment and vote.
