Ivanna and Ash were walking to the entrance going to their office together. The employees were still curious about her, they doesn't know she's his wife.
"So, where's my office?" she asks him.
Ash told Mrs. Dorris to show her office. Ivanna was excited to see her office.
"Here we are." Mrs. Dorris said.
Ivanna was stunned, her office isn't what she was expecting.
"Wait, what? you must be mistaken." she said.
"Mr. Villareal told me that this is your office." she said.
Mrs. Dorris left, she was left dumb founded. Her office isn't an office she thought. Ash made her like a normal employee. The other employees were staring at her.
"she's the new recruit."
"she's pretty."
"she looks stupid."
that's all what she heard from their mouths.
"Ahhh!" Ivanna yells and stomps her foot, making the employers to shut up.
Ivanna headed to his office, angrily. Mrs. Dorris was trying to stop her but she couldn't.
"Ash, what's the meaning of this?" she asked.
Ash just ignored her, But Ivanna takes off her right heel and starting to throw at him. Ash was that fast to cover himself.
"Candice! what the hell." he yells.
"That should be me, yelling you that." she scoffs.
"What's the matter?" he asks.
"The matter? Oh really. I was told that this company is ours, me and you. But why did you put me to a small and messy place!" she was irritated.
Ash wanted to laugh, he was laughing at his wife's reaction.
"Candice, that would be the first step. You should practice first and that you need to begin or start from the bottom. You're lucky I didn't put you up on the janitor's area." he said, then chuckles.
Ivanna's eyes widened.
"What? for real?" she asks.
Ash nodded.
"Well, its your parents who told me to do that also. Even you graduated in Harvard and win a cum laude award, you need to start from the bottom." he said.
Ivanna sighed,she couldn't believe he and her parents would do this such thing for her.
"But, what will I do there?" she asks.
"Well, you just have to compute or what. Follow what will your boss tells you." Ash said.
Ivanna groaned, she can't accept it. She wanted to complain but Ash shuts her already. She went near him and took her heels, Ash was laughing watching him but he was shocked to see her lying on his sofa.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked, high pitch.
"I prefer to sleep than to work there." she said, pouting.
Ash really thought she was so stubborn yet funny. he sighed and went toawards her.
"I'm sorry, but you have to respect your parents's decision. As much as I want you to work with me here, they want you to start from the bottom first." he said.
Ivanna couldn't talk, she didn't graduate to work as that. She decided to go and talk to her parents.
"I'm going to talk to them." she said.
"Hey!" Ash just yells.
Ivanna didn't mind him, she headed to their company to see her parents. Her parents are having a short meeting with some clients, as per the secretary said. She was waiting outside and she was already eager to talk to them. She even talked harshly to the secretary. The door opened, she quickly stood up to went inside. Her mom and her dad were piling the mess papers.
"Oh honey, why are you here?" her mom asks.
Ivanna was angry, putting her hands into her chest.
"Mom, dad. I can't and I don't want to work there. Why did you assign me to that area!" she was pissed.
"Honey, that's how it works." her dad said.
Ivanna pouted, whined, complained, telling them to move her.
"We can't do that besides it's too embarassing to tell your husband." they said.
"No,I already complained about it to him and he told me that you were the ones who have planned it." she said.
Her father chuckles, went near her and holds her hands.
"Honey, you need to start from the bottom in order to get on top." her dad said.
They had a point of view, but she doesn't want to accept it. She hates working with those bunch of employees and she's afraid of being bashed and bullied. And one more thing, they didn't know she's the CEO's wife.
"One more thing, you need to observed your employees. If they're doing their job well or not. We wanted you to work there to see and judge, they didn't know you're the CEO's wife unless you're going to tell them." her mom added.
Ivanna sighed, she guess she can't do anything to change her parents' decision. She left disappointed, she went back to their company and just to accept. She sat down to her cubicle, the staffs were staring and gossiping about her.
"Jesus, what kind of workplace is this." she mumbled.
Later, their boss came and he calls her attention.
"I know you're the CEO's wife." the boss said.
"Yeah." she just replied.
the area's boss was already informed by her husband.
"So, what's my job here?" she asks.
"Mrs. Villareal, you don't have to do anything. You can just come and sit whenever you want." he said, politely.
Ivanna scoffs, thinks about the words her parents have given her.
"No, I want to work as well like them." she said, her eyes diverted to them.
the boss was shocked, all the employees were staring at them.
"And please, no need to be polite with me and don't tell them that I'm his wife." she said.
The boss agreed and deals with her, now he just gives her a light task to do. She just needs to make a copy of the papers and sent them via emails to clients nation wide. Longer and longer, she was starting to realize what's working in that area looks like, her neighbor was peeking her.
