Married to the President novel Chapter 57

"Julia, this is the second time you are coming to check on us. Have you been able to catch some sleep?"

Julia froze. Theresa Mo wasn't sleeping? She knows he came around, even twice? He had thought she was sleeping and was wondering how she could sleep comfortably on a sofa while watching over a patient.

She never ceases to amaze him. Every single action of hers leaves him surprised. But this particular one makes me admire her greatly.

"I thought you were sleeping?" Julia said. He couldn't find himself to say anything else at the moment.

"I am staying with my boyfriend and expect me to sleep with my two eyes closed? When you opened the door and I saw you were the one, I closed my eyes knowing you can't harm him.

But if anyone else comes in, I will stand up and watch. Even if it's the doctors"Theresa Mo explained, still lying with her side on the sofa.

"You impress me Theresa, and I like you a lot,"Julia said and smiled. Theresa pouted her lips and said she would tell Junxie Li when he wakes up that his brother likes her a lot.

Julia chuckled and Theresa smiled broadly. He said goodbye to her and Walked out. Theresa Mo stood up and checked on Junxie.

He was receiving a second pint of blood. He was not looking so pale again. With his eyes closed, Theresa Mo looked at his long eyelashes.

"You are looking better my love. You have to wake up on time so I can start calling you my love. It's like I'm beginning to open my heart to you.." the door opened and Julia came in with the doctor on duty.

Julia was surprised to see Theresa sitting in the seat beside Junxie. She seemed to be talking to him. She didn't glance at who came in but continued.

".. Seriously I am giving you twenty four hours to come around. Otherwise, I will find a new boyfriend and run far away with him. I will return secretly and kidnap your two sons and go completely away from you.

But if you wake up soon, I will love you sincerely. Believe me. Besides, you said I couldn't be with any man. Well I will be with someone else and marry him, have a great honeymoon and you won't find me.. whatever, we'll talk more later" she said and kissed his palm.

Julia smiled. The doctor said she's really helping the patient recover fast. She stepped aside and allowed the doctor to examine the patient.

"As it's going now, he may be awake at the latest in twenty four hours. Looks like his girlfriend is really keeping him company" the doctor confirmed.

Theresa Mo smiled and returned to lay on the sofa. When the doctor was done administering some infusion, he left.

Julia thanked Theresa Mo and said he would relay everything to Junxie when he wakes up.

Theresa Mo said she would be right by his side when he wakes up. Julia and Theresa Mo said goodnight for the third or fourth time that night before Julia left.

That way, Theresa Mo slept and woke up in the early hours of the day. She was to report to the company that day. But if Junxie is in the hospital, Julia has to act as the President.

If Julia isn't in the hospital, she has to be there. When Julia came back into the room,he looked different. He had a bath and changed into another pair of clothes.

Theresa Mo asked him who among them both would stay with Junxie and Julia said she stays and when mum arrives she comes over to the company.

Theresa Mo said Ok and soon Julia left. She remained with Junxie and when his mother came, she brought breakfast for Theresa and she ate.

She said there was work in the office for her that day. Carol Li said she can go while she stays with him till she arrives.

Theresa went home and freshened up. She got dressed and Soon was on the way to Li's Group.

She arrived and accessed her door. Clients who hadn't been satisfied with the work the newly employed designer did came to Theresa and she gave them a day to return to get their work.

Theresa got busy the entire day that she skipped lunch without knowing it was past the lunch hour. Julia ordered for a takeout for her and she paused in her work and gulped the food down before continuing.

It was at this time that Molly Mo arrived at the Li's Group and asked after Theresa Mo, the company's designer. She is her stepmother and would want to meet her.

Theresa Mo was called and told that Molly Mo, her step mother, wants to see her. Theresa can't help but be a little surprised.

Molly Mo came to see her. Does that woman still know she existed? She must have an agenda to have come to see her.

Her motives were not pure. How can she bring herself to see her when it wasn't that she woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

She answered the secretary and told her to allow her in. She is a designer. Perhaps she wasn't coming to see her for personal reasons but for business with the Li's Group.

When the secretary told Molly Mo that she can go in. She stood up and smiled before walking towards the office where the secretary directed her.

When she got to the door, she saw the tag inscribed on the door 'Chief designer'. So Theresa Mo was occupying such an exquisite position in the Li's Group. Looks like she hasn't been doing bad after all.

She straightened her shoulder and before knocking on the door. She didn't wait to receive a reply before she pushed the door open and walked in.

Molly Mo got in and shut the door. She raised her head and saw Theresa Mo seated in the exquisite chair. She is looking like the boss of a company.

She stared at Molly Mo with an expressionless face. The latter looked at her and squinted. She's really grown more beautiful and classic than the Theresa Mo she used to know.

She looked matured as well and she can't help but agree within her that she looked more attractive than her daughter Tiana.

"Aren't you going to offer me a seat?" Molly Mo asked and Theresa rolled her eyes. If she wasn't in the company, she wouldn't have permitted an audience with Molly Mo in the first place.

"Why are you here?" Theresa Mo rather asked. She didn't bother to answer her question nor offer her the seat.

She sat relaxed on her rocking chair. Molly Mo took a seat herself without waiting for Theresa's approval.

Molly Mo looked around the office. She saw that Theresa Mo wasn't doing bad after being thrown out from Mo's family.

Her life seemed to have found a good ground where it was growing and blossoming. But having her past life as a chip in her hand, she will be able to tone her to whatever she wants her to do.

"I have work to do Molly Mo. Tell me Why you are here or else get out" Theresa Mo thundered.

"Relax girl, I am still your step mother. Treat me with some respect" Molly Mo said, now staring at her.

"I do not remember having a stepmother," Theresa Mo snapped at her. Molly Mo saw her meeting with Theresa Mo wasn't going to end successfully. She decided to go straight to the point.

"Theresa Mo, you have been divorced from Lu Jingli. He is Tiana's husband now and they are happy" Molly Mo said and paused.

"I've known that a long time ago. And besides, are you sure they are happy?" Theresa Mo asked not interested in the nonsense Molly was saying.

Molly saw that Theresa Mo was having a nonchalant attitude toward what she was saying. She dares to ask if the couple are truly happy. What does she mean by that?

She was going to make her feel her wrath when she disclosed her secret affairs with Lu Jingli.

"If you already know that, Why have you been sleeping with your brother-in-law?" Molly Mo demanded with contempt in her eyes.
