The next day.
I was exhausted after being outstation for a few days. I could finally come home and get a good rest.
After lying on the bed for a while, I got out of bed and looked at my phone. I then saw several missed calls notifications from Kelsey on the phone screen.
I turned my phone to silent mode when I was resting just then. Therefore, I returned the call when I saw the notifications. As soon as the call was connected, the voice on the other said in a hurry, "Director, I have bad news. Mr. Clark issued a notice last night and called up the media reporters. He said that he's going to announce his relationship with you to the public. There are currently a lot of reporters and onlookers waiting downstairs of the Roberts Group building."
Did he wanted to announce our relationship? What was wrong with his brain?
I got up and opened the curtains, only to find that it was a beautiful day.
Getting rid of that icky feeling in my heart, I continued to say to the phone, "Don't worry, I won't go to the company today. Besides, Sawyer is an adult. He should know what he's doing!"
Kelsey on the other side replied with a 'yes' and asked carefully, "How are you and Mr. Roberts doing?"
I nodded and replied, "We are fine."
After hanging up, I went downstairs and saw that Minnie was in the kitchen. When I looked around and didn't see Hendrix, I walked to the kitchen and asked Minnie, "Did Hendrix leave?"
Minnie was so focused that she got startled when she suddenly heard my voice. When she turned around and saw that it was me, she replied with a smile, "Mr. Roberts said that he had something to do in the morning and left in a hurry. I made some soup, do have some of it. It's good for your child!"
I nodded and touched my baby bump. Somehow, I felt like I got fatter.
Monique called when I was still drinking soup. Seeing that her tone was in a hurry, I stopped my hands and asked, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong?"
"I've read the headlines. It's too misleading. What if Aaron sees it?" Monique was afraid of Aaron, and so was I.
