Love Hate Relationship by Goodness Shadrach (best business books of all time TXT) 📗

"Exactly" The two men smiled "these are our shareholders, Mr Steven and Mr Kent" they introduced the other two men "I was able to recognize you because I was at your wedding, we told Michael here to introduce us when we get to your house but he claimed you were tired and needed rest."

Sasha couldn't believe that she is looking at the two men whose contract she had depended on to rise her company and again, whose contract is also one of the reason she is married to her husband, she was jolted out of her thought by what Jones said, tired? When was she tired? She looked at her husband but he was busing typing something on his phone, when was I tired? She wanted to ask him but just have to swallow everything "I'm really sorry" she turned to Jones "it was a hectic day with all the dancing and everything."

"Oh it's okay we understand but what we don't understand is why your husband refused us meeting with you later or even coming out for dinner but thankfully, here we are" Jack smiled.

"Yes, I am so happy and please to meet you" she stretched out her hand and shook them but she has no idea that her husband looked at her then.

"I notice you are with friends" Jones commented while looking at her table, Sasha turned to look in time to see her friends waving at Jones, they immediately looked away when they noticed her looking.

"Yes I am" she smiled to Jones.

"Well it will be wrong to leave them alone there right?" He looked around and called the waiter "please invite the ladies to join us."

More chairs were added to the table for the women and Sasha was made to sit beside her husband. Janet and the rest joined the table after with smiles and hellos, they introduced themselves while Sasha introduced them to her husband as her best friends.

The other men welcomed them to the table warmly where as Michael did nothing but nodded at them. Discussion started and everybody was enjoying themselves except for Sasha who couldn't get herself to relax with her husband right beside her. He didn't join in the discussion neither did he talk to her, all he did was to play a game in his phone.

Their food arrived later and they had the waiter served it on their new table. Her friends enjoyed their meals but Sasha couldn't eat more than three spoonfuls. Jones and Jack talked about their upcoming contract and just as Sasha wanted to reveal that she is also interested in it, she felt her husband burning glare and had to shut her mouth.

"It will be starting next year July, but we haven't found the suitable candidates. A few of our partners has a copy of the contract, your husband do too. We are hoping they can help us find people. I have my eyes on your husband's referral actually" Jack smiled.

"Why is that?" Sasha forced herself to smile.

"Oh, whoever that will be referred by your husband would be accepted without blinking an eye. You see, even at such a young age, he has this intelligence when picking people I tell you. You know he is a perfectionist, he always go for the best, so whoever he refers, is the best" Jones answered.

Sasha heaved a low sigh, will he refer her then? "Wow, that's amazing" she looked at her husband but he pretended like he was not interested in the discussion. She still can't believe that it's been almost an hour she had joined the table but he had said not a single word.

"I heard you own a company" Mr Steven said for the first time since the introduction.

"Yes" Sasha answered "my friends here manage it with me."

"That's interesting, don't you think you should take a part in the contract?"

Sasha bit her lower lip, she wants to alright but the man beside her won't let her voice her interest "I will give it a thought."

"Why do you want her to join?" Kent asked him.

"Mr Steven really is a business man" Michael smiled faintly while looking at the man, deciding to join in the discussion "you really know when you will be at profit don't you, and you won't hesitate to go for it."

Jones looked at Michael and then at Steven "I'm at loss here."

"Of course Michael is not going to join for the work" Steven was saying.

"Of course not, don't even think about it" Jones, Jack and Kent said in jinx.

"But his wife's company is still a growing firm, if she should take up a part in this contract, it will be amazing" Steven concluded.

Jones and the rest were still confuse "I don't understand."

Michael scoffed before revealing a faint smile "what is hard to get there? He wants to use because she is my wife and then get me in the contract."

"Of course, as your wife, you are not going to let her handle such a huge contract alone" Steven admitted and the rest gave sounds of ohs and ahs.

Realizing the profit in it for them, Jones, Jack and Kent's eyes sparkled and they all looked at Sasha hopefully.

"My wife still have other contracts she is working on and even if she do take up the contract, there is no guarantee that I will be a helping hand, I always love her proving herself" he looked at Sasha and smiled "don't I honey?"
