Aiden was distracted by the knock on his office. He looks outside of his glass wall and saw Justin, his secretary.
“come in.”
Justin, with the folders in hand, came inside and greeted Aiden. He put the files on Aiden’s desk and said, “It seems Miss Blanche called a day off today.”
“Where did she go?” Aiden asked.
“Miss Blanche told Mr. Gion Adams, her direct superior that she had a family emergency to take care of,” Justin replied readily.
“perform a background check on Emilia… no nevermind. Go get back to work.”
“yes sir.”
Aiden felt lost and kept asking himself why did he do that? He repeatedly blamed himself as he was the cause of Emilia’s pained look. Her wronged eyes and tears that were on the verge of falling, his chest tightened from recalling it.
“you’re such a jerk Aiden Wisteria” he mumbled.
“am I really doing this?” Emilia asked Aerys, while she tightens her grip on Emilia’s hands to comfort her.
“I am with you. Don’t worry.” Aerys reassured Emilia and smiled at her.
Emilia and Aerys are in the Obstetrics in People's Choice Hospital, where Aerys' brother worked at.
Darren Clarke is a neurologist. He is five years older than Emilia while Aerys is one year older than her.
Aerys begged Darren to help them to schedule an appointment secretly as Emilia was afraid that Aiden would find out about it. She also forced him to keep this matter a secret from their parents.
Darren was shocked when he found out the news. He was hurt and a trace of regret filled his heart. He never thought someone else would find out her beauty that he painstakingly hid ever since. He was the one who suggested Emilia continue using her eyeglass instead of using contacts. He knew her secrets and hobby. He felt lost and regret haunts him now and then. Despite that, he helped her, assisted her, and stick with her.
"Brother, don't you have work to do?" Aerys asked her Darren as he was busy with his phone and many calls had kept him busy but he still insisted to stay.
"I'm fine," Darren said with his usual straight face.
Emilia looked at him and grabbed his hand. Darren flinches from her sudden physical contact but tried to maintain his poker face.
"Dar, you should go now. I am fine here with Aerys. There is no need for you to stay here. You are a Doctor and you have your own responsibilities to take care of. Okey? We will be fine here." Emilia smiled at Darren, reassuring him that they will be fine. It took them for while to convince Darren and after he left, Emilia was called in.
During the whole time, Emilia was nervous. After taking the bloodwork, urine test, and other tests, She was asked a lot of things like her personal medical history, mental health history, gynecological history, obstetrical history, health conditions that run in her and Aiden's family.
Emilia was silent when the questions were about Aiden and his family, and the Doctor immediately took the hint and no longer touch the matter.
"Congratulations once again Miss Emilia you are six weeks pregnant. just follow my advice, and tips for the foods that you should eat and avoid. Okey? congratulation once again. see you a month from now." the Doctor said after the series of questions and answers. Emilia was happy and at the same time afraid.
Happy that she finally had a family of her own, but afraid that she could only raise herself and afraid of what her parents' reaction would be. She doesn't want to have any more drama than what already had.
Emilia was the only child of her parents as her mother does not want to have more. Her parents were not in a good relationship, they were not divorced but her mother does not live with her father.
"I want to go home," Emilia said after fetching her vitamins and processing her bill.
"Do you want me to live with you?" Aerys carefully asked Emilia when she noticed her mood. Emilia shook her head and said, "I want to be alone. I'll just call you if ever."
Upon arriving home, the first thing that Emilia did was to find something to eat. After eating and cleaning the kitchen, Emilia sat in her living room and read a few articles on pregnancy before going to sleep.
Emilia woke up from her sudden urge to vomit. She immediately went to the bathroom.
"Is this what they called morning sickness?" Emilia asked herself after rinsing her mouth. She dragged her tired body back to her bed, but she no longer wants to lay down. Emilia stood up and went to the kitchen and took note of what to buy after work and prepared her breakfast.
"Good morning Miss Emilia," Rosabelle said.
Rosabelle Montemayores is one of Emilia's new team members. There are a total of four members in their team, with Emilia being the team leader. They are Rosabelle, Denver, Jules, and Kendrick.
"Good morning" Emilia smiled. Rosabelle and the others were stunned as it was new for them to witness a good mood Emilia. Rosabelle was the first one to wake up from the daze and continued to report what had happened yesterday and what would take place for the day.
"good work Rosa. you may go now." Emilia tenderly said and proceed to do her work.
After breaktime, Rosa went back to her table and noticed that Emilia used a cushion for back support and frequently took a break or went to the comfort room.
"Sir, Mrs. Wisteria left a message saying, drop by and have some dinner tonight I'll wait," Jacob said.Aiden lifted his head to stare at his assistant for a few seconds before glancing at his wristwatch before burying his attention on the pile of papers in front of him.'When will I be able to finish this?' Aiden asked himself.A week had passed after Emilia took a day off and got a confirmation that she is pregnant, and she is now in her seventh week, and it is also been a week when her morning sickness had started and her frequent visit to the comfort room. She was glad that she was not like other pregnant women who are sensitive to smell and foods, but she would constantly crave foods that she usually doesn't like, and she is also obsessed with anything that is color white.While Emilia was busy reviewing for the weekly report, Kendrick announced his presence by calling out to Emilia. Emilia stopped what she was doing and asked Kendrick what he needs.
The sun rises quite late as it is winter season, snow quietly filled the streets, the roofs, and people started to clean up their driveway. Many people start their day early despite the cold. They started their morning with a greeting and smile plastered on their faces.While in the GoKaria Technology Inc., Quality Department team 3,(Emilia's team) was busy preparing for a small farewell surprise for Emilia, noting that it is Emilia's last day in the office. The company's office hours start at 8:00 am and end at 12:00 pm, a lunch break for an hour and a half, and the office hours in the afternoon starts at 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm.On this day, according to what Luisa had told them, today being the last day that Emilia would come to the company. She would only come to the office to give a few pointers for Rosabelle and say goodbye to her team, to Mr. Adams, and to Miss Klau.The team bought gifts that they had planned weeks ago with Luisa.
Emilia ate with gusto and left her apartment after cleaning the kitchen. As it was the winter season, Emilia wore a white v-neck silk blouse, denim skinny jeans topped with a beige trench coat, and a cashmere scarf with the same color as the trench coat. She paired it with black knee-length winter boots."Oh?... Emilia?" a male called her over and Emilia turned to the source of the voice and noticed that it was Albert."Albert" Emilia smiled at him."Whoa! that was an amazing trophy you got there, Albert," Emilia exclaimed as soon as she noticed the dark circles under his eyes. She giggled and Albert scratch the back of his head and said, "Well... can't help it.""The run-through will be in a few days, right?" Emilia asked while they walked together to Emilia's Department."Yes. Even though it is supposed to be a winter break." Albert said gloomily.Emilia laughed and lightly tap his shoulders and said, "Che
"oh!" Zia Klau exclaimed as she just walked in the office absentmindedly and was surprised to see someone in the office. She was scared of her wits as she was afraid of ghosts.Gion gently smiled at her and says, "Hi. you're early. Are you a first-year representative?""yes from Data Science," Zia replied."hmmm... Then you find yourself a seat after you sign the attendance sheet over there," Gion kindly instructed Zia as he continued to prepare the materials needed for later's meeting.The meeting ended with a positive vibe. Zia packed her things and immediately went out but she was stopped by her childhood friend, Laura Johannsen who was also the representative of her course, first-year Finance Management."Zia let's help out for a while," Laura said.Zia didn't say anything and just followed Laura. Days had passed and Zia's life routine completely changed after joining the student council, a
"Diaper Bag?" Emilia's eyes widened and she thanked Zia multiple times. She wanted to ask what she meant by what she had just said, but from Gion's reaction, she could tell a thing or two about it and chose not to dwell on it."You can go to your team now. I won't hold you for too long." Zia gently said to Emilia and gave her a warm hug before saying goodbye.Emilia left the room after bidding her goodbyes and thank yous to Gion and Zia, as she walked to her office, she noticed that Denver was peeking outside and when he spotted Emilia his eyes widened, and immediately went in. Emilia wondered what happened but she did not pick up her pace. She continued to walk comfortably and recalled the memories she had while working in the company."number 37"Emilia stood up when she heard her number was called. Emilia was nervous as the hiring page had mentioned that one of the comp
It was said that the countryside typically has a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural development was mostly in rural areas, but recently, the population growth had risen as more and more people choose to settle down in the countryside away from the city's polluted air.Emilia pulls out her phone and reads the message she received from her parents asking for an update on where she currently is and how she was doing. Emilia stuffed her phone back after she sent a reply. She noticed that she was nearing her bus stop, and so she fixed and straighten her windbreaker a little. She steps out of the bus and hailed a tricycle to her parent's house.Things went smoother than what Emilia had expected except for her parent's outburst and three weeks had passed since then, but she was thankful that everything went fine afterward. She had left out the part of Aiden's identity and just told them that everything was just an accident a
In a bustling city, people are busy in and out of the different infrastructure but the two ladies in a specific private room in one of the famous restaurants in the city sat with an odd atmosphere.The report that was in Rachel's hand was like a bolt from the blue. She slowly sat in a chair near her and slowly put the report on the table without retracting her gaze from the document. She shifted her gaze to the nearest photograph of the same woman that was with her son, but this time, the woman was walking out in a public hospital happily held her baby bump."she's…" Rachel looked at her sister asking for an answer to her question."She is pregnant and it's Aiden's that is why I passed the company to him as a gift to them." Raelianna bluntly replied to her."wha-what?" Rachel's eyes widened from shock but you could see happiness, worry, and anger hidden in her eyes."I.. I
According to medical professionals, sleeping and, or resting can give a benefit to one's body. When a person sleeps, there are fewer demands made in the heart. The blood pressure will drop and the heart will be able to take a break, and sleeping can also cause the body to release hormones that can slow breathing, and relax other muscles in the body that can reduce inflammation and assist with healing, this Jacob suggested that if Aiden would like to schedule an appointment for a full body massage tomorrow morning or later in the afternoon.Aiden was not able to hear what Jacob had said as his thoughts were filled with Emilia on what she was doing right now. He could not explain to himself as to why his thought would always divert to Emilia and on their last contact. Aiden looked at Jacob and told him, "Go and find out what Emilia is doing right now." upon hearing the order, Jacob was dumbstruck for while and then proceed to step out of the office and call Mr. Gion
