“But Dad, I-”
I wanted to tell him that I was ready, but he cut me off and said,
“It is the right time. Next week, you will take over the company and accept the position of CEO.”
I could not cross over my dad’s words. If he said he wanted me to take over, I would have to.
“Your dad is right. You have learned enough. You can learn more after sitting in that position, too,” my mom said to me.
I nodded at them and turned to my brother. He smiled at me.
He placed his hand on my head. “Everything will be okay. If anyone will dare to say something to my sister after that, I will pull their eyes out.”
I assumed he was talking about Adrian. I wondered how Adrian would react when he learned the truth about my identity. I hoped he would regret all the a
As days passed, I rejoined the company and began to work again. I had a really busy schedule the whole week.
My babies wanted my time, but I could not give them proper time. I apologized to them because of that.
As time ran by, the day when I would inherit the company came.
This whole week, people heard about the new CEO. Today, they were going to meet her.
While standing in front of the mirror, I examined my noveldrama
appearance. The dress I wore was a sleeveless one and was cream in color. On top of it, I put on a long black coat. After letting my hair down, I put on a

Woman.
Two pairs of small hands held my hands and began to pull me. I lowered my head and found my twins smiling at me.
“My babies.” I squatted down and pulled them into my embrace.
I found it peaceful. They were my life.
“Mommy, we have a surprise for you,” Aria said to me.
I broke the hug and looked at Aria. “What surprise, baby?”
“First, this is for you.” Noah took out a red rose from behind, which he was hiding from me.
I stared at the rose for a while, then shifted my eyes to Noah. My eyes became blurry as tears crawled into my eyes.
When did my baby boy become so big? He was giving his mother a rose! How sweet of him.

I accepted the rose from him and kissed his forehead. you.”
I kissed Aria too, and I hugged both of them again. With my hand, I wiped the corner of my eyes.
Suddenly, my eyes shifted to the door. I caught a glimpse of Eric.
I understood who gave Noah the idea of giving me the rose. I smiled at him. He grinned at me and motioned for me to come. out of the room, then left.
1 stood up and walked out of my room with my twins. When I reached the living room, I was surprised.
Everyone was standing together. I saw a beautiful cake. I realized this was the surprise Aria was talking about.
“Let’s go, Mommy. Cut the cake.” Aria pulled me towards the cake.
My parents, Jason and Eric–everyone smiled at me.
“What’s this?” I asked them.
Jason handed me a knife and said, “A small celebration before you enter the company as a CEO.”
I cut the cake and fed them pieces of the cake. I was over the moon. This small moment made me so glad that my mood cheered up thoroughly.
I took my leave from everyone. My babies gave me a thumbs up when I was leaving the pack house with Eric. They did not know much about business since they were just little kids. But there was pride in their eyes as if they knew their mother would do som
“Nervous?” Eric asked while driving the car.
I nodded my head. “A little bit.”
He reached into the glove compartment and pulled out the water bottle, which he then handed to me.
“Drink some water.”
I grabbed the bottle and chugged down almost half of the bottle.
“Feeling good?” he asked.
I nodded my head and turned my head towards him. “Thanks, Eric.”
“For what?”
“For helping me with office work and giving the idea to Noah.”
He glanced at me. “How do you know it was my idea?”
“I know you, Eric.”
His expression changed a little. He had a smile on his face as he asked,
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“But I don’t think so. I think you have a misconception that you know me.”
I parted my lips at his statement. “Why did you say that? We have been friends for years. Why do you think I don’t know you?”
He chuckled at my questions. He pulled the car into the entrance area of our company. I realized we had reached the company.
He got out of the car and came to open the door for me. He extended his hand for me to hold. I accepted his hand and got out of the car.
“I will tell you someday about it,” he replied to my questions, which I asked him in the

It appeared as though Eric had already made the announcement that he would be coming with their new CEO, so they started to bow to me.
Some employees who had noticed me before looked shocked.
I even heard one of the women say,
“Natalia is our new CEO? How is that even possible?”
