"Really? I'm happy I met you anyway," Mr. Duke responded."Let's go to my office, please," Ava said, and they headed to her office.Inside Ava's office, she was interrogating Mr. Duke, as Rex told her."Mr. Duke, the apartment our boss arranged for your workers has been well furnished, so they can move in while waiting for the new project to be done; hopefully, it'll be available in mid-next month," she said."Thank you so much and the whole of Polite Members for giving us a chance, and our dedication is to bring this company to a greater level," Mr. Duke replied gratefully.Just as they were still discussing, Ava's messenger came in."Madam, a security officer said there's a girl who wants to see you; she was claiming she had been employed and had resumed work today," the lady narrated.Ava's face narrowed. "Visitor again?" she let out."Well, tell the securities to examine her well, making sure she's not harmful, and then allow her in," she replied, turning to Mr. Duke.The messenge
Miriam fretted and opened her drawer. She began bringing out different sorts of documents and placing them on the desk in front of Rex, while Mr. Duke curled his hands on his head, hopping around the office as he never knew what awaited him."You had vowed to put me in trouble; you set me up to disgrace me and have started the mission to bring my company down, just the way Mr. Darius did," Rex thundered.His growl alarmed other staff, including Ava and Caroline, and they rushed into the office."Sir, what is the problem?" one of the staff members asked.Rex couldn't help but ignore his question because uttering a word would only increase his anger.After Miriam was done arranging those documents, she took them to Ava as Rex instructed and walked out of the office.After a few minutes, every one of the staff went to their offices, including Ava, with the documents Miriam handed her.However, Mr. Duke was still in the office with Rex, waiting for Rex to conclude what would be his fate.
The meeting didn't last long as Rex promised.He addressed Mr. Duke and his workers and told the entire staff of Polite about their mission for the company; however, he introduced Caroline as the new accountant.***At 3:40 p.m., Rex was in his office working with his laptop when, suddenly, he decided to take a break and have his lunch as he was also hungry. However, Ava's thoughts came to his mind, and he couldn't help but text her.Rex: "Hello, dear, How is work going? I hope you are coping with the new environment."After ten minutes, he sent the message and returned to work with his laptop, waiting for her reply. His phone awakened, and he quickly unlocked it to check if it was a message from Ava. Fortunately, it was—it was a message from her.He tapped to read further.Ava: Good afternoon, sir. Yes, it isn't really easy for me; I'm not used to the rules, but hopefully, within a month, I'll capture everything.Rex let out a smile after reading, and he immediately began typing.Rex
"I'm pregnant for you, Mr. Rex."As Rex heard this, his eyes rolled in their sockets. He then quickly took a glance to know who the caller was; however, upon seeing Miriam on the screen, he became weak and sighed heavily."Oh god!" he exclaimed."Wha... What is that, baby? What is happening? Who's that?" Ava could not help but ask those questions. She was so terrified that she concluded the person was trying to accuse Rex of what he didn't do because she knew Rex very well as a gentleman and could never sleep with random ladies."Um, hold in; I'll call you later," Rex managed to say to Miriam, and he hung up the call.He was so confused that he rested his head on the steering wheel and was sighing continuously."Could... Could you just talk to me, please?" Ava stuttered. "Did you really do it?" she questioned, fluids already filling her eyes.She knew if the story was true, then her marriage with Rex would turn sour."Baby, I can explain," Rex said, his voice pale and weak."Gosh, it'
"No. Rex, I get the root of the whole story now," she smiled wryly. "No! I refused to be brainwashed," Ava yelled, quickly taking off Rex's hand from her own."You've been having an affair with your accountant all this while. You used her and dumped her, and now you think you can play that trick on me too?" she smirked."I thought I was done with the person I considered a cheat when I first met you; unbeknownst, I just fell for the international playboy," she added."No, don't get it twisted, Ava; everything I said is nothing but the truth. I mean, that's how it happened," Rex pleaded."Really? That's how it happened," she remarked, waving her head and biting her lips in regret."Alright, if you claimed she came uninvited, who gave her your home address then?" She asked, staring at Rex, to know what he'd like to say this time."Honestly, that was what baffled me. She hadn't been to my house, nor had I been to hers, but I didn't know how she got my address, it still baffles me," Rex st
The next day was Tuesday; it was finally the day for the business meeting.However, Rex had rehearsed his speech at night, so when it was daylight, he could take a bath and drive straight to Birmingham for the meeting.He knows he needs to be the first to be present in the meeting so he can help his grandfather arrange and get some things done before the meeting begins.He had set his phone alarm up so it could be a reminder for him to wake up once it's the time he wants to.As he was done bathing and coming out of the restroom, his chef was already in the kitchen making preparations for breakfast.Just as soon as Rex was done rubbing his deodorants and skin care creams, she knocked on his door."Sir, your food is ready in the dining room," she stated."On my way," Rex replied.***It was exactly six twenty a.m. when Rex left his house for Birmingham with his bodyguards; they drove off with his Rolls Royce because it gives a reputable and mature vibe to the owner in a meeting like tha
After a few minutes, the MC made an introduction about the meeting, the purpose of it, and how beneficial it would be to everyone who would attend.After his speech, the chairman of the occasion took over and started dishing out his speech.Everyone was calm, and the conference hall was also as quiet as if only one person were inside; the only sound that could be heard was that of the speaker.However, Ava was present. She sat and curled her hand on her abdomen, using the other one to support her chin. She was looking worried. She was worried because the person who invited her to the meeting was out of sight, and she couldn't reach out to him because her phone battery was down. She forgot to charge it because she slept during the day, only to wake up by the dying minute of the time Rex told her the meeting would start. She never even knew she could still make it before the meeting began.As she was sitting in the position in which someone with a high sense of reasoning could tell she
"What do you mean, please, young man?" Rex questioned, remaining calm."I mean, this place isn't for you," the man added.Just then, Robert approached them, staring at Rex with disgust. "You can keep a baby without being able to secure a seat, huh?" he asked, smiling devilishly at him.Rex was confused about how Robert poke-nose into the matter; however, he never knew the man was Robert's boy."Are you surprised?" Robert added. "Well, don't be; don't be surprised because..."Mr. Robert, can you just step out of our way and focus on the event you came for?" Ava chimed in; she was so pissed off that she couldn't bear it anymore."Oh, pretty, I'm not going to lie to you, but this trash bag here isn't worth having you. I know he must have worn your heart, maybe because he's a funny, lovey-dovey guy," Robert said."Yeah, but I love him the way he is. Even being a lovey-dovey person is enough reason to love him," Ava responded to him."Pretty, look, I'm not joking here. If only you could sa
