Mr. President You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: 156- Keeping Them On Their Toes

"Are you doing alright? Do you need anything?" Marissa heard Joseph’s voice when she was resting back on the office couch.

She didn’t dare to sit on Rafael’s seat but enjoyed the shocked look on those women’s faces.

Keeping her eyes closed, she smiled to herself, "What brings you here, Joseph?"

"You just said if anyone wants to talk to you, they should approach you in the President’s office. I liked your confidence," she could detect amusement in his voice.

"I hope you haven’t told any of this to Rafael," she opened one eye to look at him who was taking another couch across from her.

"I did send him messages. Why? He should know what is going on in his office," he folded his arms behind his head to lean back.

"Yeah," Marissa straightened, "But someone told me to pull up my big girl panties and face the inevitable."

Joseph clicked his tongue, "And who exactly is that?"

"Guess who!" she winked, and Joseph took a sigh of relief. At least she was not as upset as he had thought. The woman was coping well.

He moved his head from side to side with a grin, "Must be a hell of a friend."

"Yes. Sophia!" she offered him a faint smile and nodded.

"I see!" he sounded impressed, "your support system is ... commendable. I admire that."

He got up lazily and saluted her, "If you want to talk about any of it ..."

He trailed off when she didn’t let him finish, "Oh. I know where to find you. In your office. Right?"

He flashed her a gentle smile and shook his head, "No. You don’t need to approach me in my office. Just give me a call on the intercom and I’ll be here."

Marissa appeared taken aback by the offer, "Y-You’ll come here?"

"Of course," he raised his hands, "I know the story. We couldn’t meet when you were living with Rafael. But he used to talk about you a lot when you left him," he hesitated, "Nobody knows here who you are except me. So, yes. I should be here for you. It’s not the other way round."

Marissa was visibly moved by this unexpected support.

"Oh, Joseph. I owe you a thanks ..." she faltered when he gave her a confused look, "For taking care of my kids."

"Yeah. Well! They are my nephews and nieces too," he said before turning on his heels to leave the office, "By the way," he looked over his shoulder, "Rafael hasn’t received my messages. The place he is having this meeting has poor signals."

Marissa remembered how Rafael had to walk out of the meeting to talk to her.

She opened her laptop and got busy with her work. The presentation thankfully went well, and she had seen the shocked faces of Nina and Valerie.

Rafael had told her that the Kanderton website wasn’t open to the public. Then why were they here?

What did they want from her?

And then her brain responded to the question.

They wanted Rafael back! Back into their pockets

Since childhood, she knew Valerie had been quite possessive about her stuff. She won’t let go of Rafael this easily.

She could destroy her possessions, throw them away, or even discard them, but she would die before handing over anything to Marissa.

After hearing the knock, she raised her head from the laptop screen and found Dean standing in the doorway.

"Are you up for visiting a location? The owner just offered us to have a look," he shrugged, "I’ll show you the email for approval."

"Sure," she closed her laptop and stood up from the couch, "Who else is accompanying us?"

She stretched her body to loosen up and tried to suppress a yawn. It was a long day.

"The ones you’ll select will be allowed to go. They are waiting for you in the lobby."

"Oh," she rubbed her neck tiredly, "Let’s go then."

She followed him to the lobby and found her teammates standing there, talking in hushed tones.

Delinda started making faces when their eyes met, but Marissa ignored her. Betrayers were not worth her time.

"So," she clasped her hands, "we have offers from multiple locations. What do you all suggest? Should we all visit the locations or divide ourselves into teams and those teams can visit the required place?"

"And how do you plan to decide about the teams?" Kate asked her.

Marissa thought for a moment, "A mural painter with a caterer and a chef. These three should be together for the visits."

She wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings but then almost froze when heard Valerie’s voice behind her, "And an owner too."
