Chapter 236 Editor-in-Chief Position
Two weeks later, Xavier received a call from his Private Investigator, Archie Webber, indicating that he had found evidence that Director Stanley was framed.
Xavier felt that something was wrong and asked his private investigator to investigate what happened on that fateful night. Five years later, they got the evidence. The private investigator discovered that he was framed by his best friend.
Xavier asked him to find and set up a meeting with Director Stanley. Archie Webber found Director Stanley under the bridge begging for food. He took him to the hotel to wash up. Then he bought food and clothes for him.
Archie looked at Director Stanley and said, “My boss wants to meet you tomorrow at 19:00 at His Grace Hotel. I will fetch you at 18:30.” Director Stanley was dumbfounded. He didn’t know what to say.
At the Taylor mansion, Avery was in her husband’s arms grinning from ear to ear. Xavier looked at her and asked, “What would you do if you found me in bed with another woman? Would you believe me if I told you that I was framed?”
Avery nodded her head and replied, “I will believe you because you promised me that you would never lie to me. I trust you with my life. I will beat up that woman everywhere I see her. No one can separate us.”
Xavier was over the moon when he heard his wife’s words. He kissed her for a long time and said, “Tomorrow at 18:00 I will be meeting Director Stanley at His Grace Hotel. Five years ago, he lost everything due to a scandal.
My Private Investigator found concrete evidence that he was framed. I want to recruit him as a director at Restoration Group. I don’t know if you have heard of him.”
Avery nodded her head and replied, “Gabriella told me about him. When I heard that he loved his wife so dearly, I thought he was framed. Did someone frame him?”
Her husband nodded her head and replied, “He was framed by his best friend because he refused to give his girlfriend a female lead role. After they broke up, his girlfriend spilled the beans.”
Avery was shocked and said, “That person was not his best friend but his enemy. He destroyed Director Stanley’s life just for a girlfriend. I am so sad for his children.”
The following day at the Everlasting Group, its founder, Sam Moss, called a meeting and said, “As you all know, the Editor-in-chief position is vacant. However, I decided not to advertise this position.
I will give this position to the person who will be able to interview the Taylor family heir, President Xavier Taylor, for the June magazine cover. Everyone qualifies even if you started yesterday, the position is yours.”
Gabriella’s heart sank; she thought it was her chance to be promoted. She had been acting in the position from the day the previous Editor-in-Chief tendered her resignation.
Unfortunately, it was her wishful thinking. President Taylor was low-key. He had never been interviewed before. Her colleagues looked at her with mocking eyes. Some looked at her with pity in their eyes.
After the meeting, Gabriella decided to call her best friend, Avery, “Hello my stunning sister. I am so sad. I need you to cheer me up. Let me treat you to dinner at His Grace Hotel tonight. What do you think?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Avery was overjoyed and replied, “It’s a date. I have something to tell you as well, my dearest sister. Let’s meet at His Grace Hotel at 17:30.”
She quickly dialed her husband’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Honey, Gabriella is taking me out for dinner tonight at His Grace Hotel.”
Her husband replied smiling, “Sweetheart, that is great. Please wait for me in our Presidential Suite when you are done. Wayne will pick you up from the hospital at 16:30.” Then they hung up.
At 16:30, Avery and Portia walked to the parking lot to wait for Wayne. When they arrived at the parking lot, Wayne was standing outside the car waiting for them.
He greeted young Mrs Taylor with respect, and then Portia opened the door for her. Her brother drove the car to His Grace Hotel.
At 17:15, Gabriella stood in the parking lot and looked at the stunning hotel which exuded an air of elegance and opulence. She didn’t want to take her best friend to His Glory Hotel because it was under the Martins Group.
At that moment, she received a call from her best friend. She smiled brightly and asked, “Avery, have you arrived?”
Avery smiled and replied, “Yes. His Grace Hotel manager is waiting for you at the door. Please tell him your name, and he will usher you to our private room.”
Gabriella giggled and said, “Wow, you have lifted my spirits already, my dearest Avery.” Then they hung up.
Gabriella walked to the entrance of the hotel. She smiled at the manager and said, “Sir, my name is Gabriella Stone, I am here to meet Avery Martins.”
The manager smiled at her and replied, “Please follow me, Miss Stone.” He knocked on the door, then Avery said, “Come in.” Gabriella walked into the private room smiling from ear to ear. She thanked the manager, then he left.
Gabriella hugged her best friend and said, “How are you, my stunning Avery? I miss you so much.” Avery giggled and replied, “I am well. Thank you. How are you my gorgeous Gabriella?”
Gabriella was very beautiful, but her beauty paled against Avery. Avery had a rare beauty.
A few minutes later, Chef Bruno walked to the private room, followed by the two waiters. They put food on the table, then they left. Gabriella’s eyes lit up when she saw her favourite food.
Gabriella looked at her friend with sadness in her eyes and said, “Avery, I don’t have an appetite today. My boss indicated that he would not advertise the Editor-in-Chief position.
However, he will give the position to the person who will be able to interview my dreamboat President Xavier Taylor.”
Avery smiled brightly and replied, “Cheer up, my friend. The job is yours. I will ask my Xavier to help you.”
Gabriella looked at her best friend with pity in her eyes. She thought Avery was hallucinating and said, “Sweetheart, I know that Jordan hurt you deeply, but there is no need to make up stories about President Taylor. He is out of our leagues.”
Avery didn’t try to convince her best friend and replied smiling, “Let us eat.” The food was delicious. They were chatting and laughing.
At 7 pm, Avery sent Gabriella to the parking lot, then she went to their Presidential Suite to wait for her husband. She took a long bath, then she changed into sexy black lingerie. She sat on the bed and read her novel.
