As I looked toward where the direction of the voice was coming from, there was a middle-aged man and woman pushing through the security guards and rushing toward me.
I hurriedly covered my belly with my arms and forgot to dodge.
"Careful!"
Theo's nervous voice sounded in my ears, and I felt a force pulling me over. My face was pressed against the man's chest. As I followed his lead, we smoothly avoided the rushing pair's impending rampage.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but the child in my belly seemed to have been frightened as well. I felt a burst of pain and could not help but let out a hiss.
The sound coming from me terrified Theo, and he quickly held onto me. "What's wrong? Are you alright?"
It was just for a slight second, so I recovered after a short while. I waved my hands and said, "I'm alright. Those two..."
Our eyes turned toward the two who had barged into the company, and Theo's face became gloomy. He was upset that the two almost rammed into me. "What on earth are you security guards doing?! How could you allow them to run past at will?!”
The man scolded sharply, causing the two security guards guarding the main door to be in disarray. "President Grant, well...
They just..."
After calming down, I did not wish for the company to be in a state of chaos because of me, so I stepped forward and patted Theo on the shoulder. “Hey, I'm alright. Don't blame them. Let's just ask where those two came from.”
The look in my eyes suddenly grew sharper. I knew that woman.
It was Julie.
