Chapter 82: HERE TO KEEP MY PROMISE

"But aren’t you bothered that your son doesn’t have a fat-"

"Uh- huh! Careful, mister. My son’s father wouldn’t like that. And me? You better be careful."

It was a blatant warning right there.

Dove’s words right there implied that, there goes the limit and a line that she has drawn and nobody better cross that line. But along with that, what went unsaid yet impactful was that, her son had a father. So they better not say something they shouldn’t.

This time, that particular reporter did not say anything. And he lowered his head slightly before nodding and said, "Thank you, Miss Dove." And though he felt heavy glares being passed from Jacob and Noren’s side, he did not look at their direction at all.

Though he might have agreed to do what they had asked, to put Dove in a difficult and losing position with the information they had given him. But he cannot push it any further. He too had a job to save after all. Because, if he pushed it more than this, then it would be called unprofessional on his side and people would completely understand that he was deliberately targeting Dove.

Moreover, from the answered until now, Dove and proven herself very worthy of answering and facing the press. He could not really find anything worthy of pressing against her.

Dove smiled at him, and though there was nothing to answer, she chuckled, "Your most welcome, Mr Journalist." At this, the person’s face turned slightly red and he kept his head lowered.

He wasn’t sure about what others understood about her response, but he felt that Dove really did understand that he was trying to put her in difficult position. And well, that was right.

Meanwhile, after answering him, Dove slightly turned her head a little to look at Jacob and his son’s direction, only to see a big frown on their faces. And this made her chuckle.

Just then Noren too happened to turn his head and his eyes met with Dove looking towards them with a smirk on his face. And for some strange reason, he felt his head shudder and his face go pale.

Why is she looking at them in that way? Did she understand something? Was what came into his mind the first thing.

But then Dove turned her head away from their direction, and he left him wondering what it was about.

The conference continued, with the press asking their questions, and others answering it. But on the side, where no one noticed, Dante stood motionless. He stared at Dove with his eyes blank, as he recounted what she said just now.

’My son’s father wouldn’t like it.’ the sentence was repeating in his mind like a mantra in her voice and then he closed his eyes taking a deep breath.

So, did she really believe his letter? Maybe yes.

And on that thought, a smile appeared on his lips, as he slowly felt his heart feeling full.

Because, that fulfilled the purpose of him sending the letters message, that she isn’t alone.

In fact, she has never been. He had always been protecting her from the shadows, but now? Now he could do it from being by her side.

He had always loved her from the shadows. But now? Now he hoped that he could love her in front of the whole world unapologetically. And he only hoped to win over her heart.

He... Dante slowly raised his head to look at Dove, who was inside the room smiling, and thought to himself, "I am here to fulfill my promise, love."

After the meeting was over, Dove thanked the reporters and the press, and they were the first ones to leave the hall. Dove and the rest of them stayed behind untill they all left, before they started their rest internal session of discussion with the employees, directors and others present there.

Dove kept forth her view for the company and how she would want it for them all to rise. After a little while more, the conference was over. And everyone officially welcomed Dove as their CEO.

Then they all started to leave, to resume the work. Dove along with the other higher ups, were the first one to come out of the room.

And while she was coming out, her eyes met with Dante straight, who was waiting for her at the exit, to join her.

And when her eyes met him, her eyes automatically looked for something in his, and he nodded his head, with a small smile as if in assurance. It was assurance that she was subconsciously seeking. And he provided her that, telling her that everything went perfect, making her relief from within.

When she reached by the door, he went to stand beside her, just a little behind her. And before anyone could say anything else, a little ball of energy came rushing towards her, before he threw himself at her, and hugged her waist.

Meanwhile, Dante though being her bodyguard, who should act on impulse as soon as he saw it, he didn’t bother. Well, why should he? That little ball of energy was a part of Dove, in fact her energy booster.

"Momma! Are you done?" Gavriel looked up at his mother with his big shiny eyes, to see his mother who was a tad bit surprised at first smile at him before nodding her head, "Yes, darling. I am done. Let’s go." She said picking his ting self up in her arms.

Meanwhile the other employees, directors and other executives, looked at Dove and the little boy in astonishment.

One of them whispered to the person next to him, "So this little boy is CEO Sterling’s son?"

The other person also having his eyes on Dove lightly shrugged before saying, "The little boy just called her mother, so that must be it."

And the first person nodded his head. Everyone for a good moment just stared at the mother son duo in silence.
