CHAPTER 37
After lunch yesterday, Andre brought me back to the office so I could finish up my work before going home. He made sure to cheer me up, throwing silly jokes and teasing me. I smile when I remember how the lunch went. A great way to get my mind off things.After getting comfortable with him, I told him about my brother and he asks if that was why I have been moody since I came back from home but I told him yes. He promised to help.
I just came into the office this morning to see a rose waiting on my table. I pick it up and sniff the bonquet. There is a little note attached to it, so I pick it up and it read, "Good morning, beautiful."I smile. I know it is from Andre. There is no other person who calls me that except him. Even Baxter has never called me that. I am glad Andre is in my life, even though he is my boss, I find a friend in him. He is ever ready to listen to whatever is bothering me, he is caring

CHAPTER 38Hearing his calm and caring voice of concern increases my tears and fear. I am confused and scared. I am confused because I dont know what is going on between Andre and I. Why did I let my feelings get this far? Why do I have feelings for my boss? I am scared because I know it is high time I told Andre the truth. He can't keep finding me this way. Yesterday, I was sad and today I am crying. He needs to know. And I need his help to clear my name. Everyone is already calling me the office slut, if my pregnancy begins to show, the gossip will increase and I doubt if I can live with that. I will rather leave the company than face the shame. More reason why Andre needs to know now. He will be hurt when my stomach begins to protrude."It's ok, Freya, everything will be fine", he assures me, as if knowing the reason for my tears. He is squatting beside me, holding my head in his broad chest and patting my hair as I keep crying."Freya", he calls whe

CHAPTER 39"I mean we are going to act like we are getting married which we will. When we get married it won’t be considered wrong”He explains."Andre, that's ridiculous. Why will you do this?” I ask."That's the best way to stop this." He says to me."No. There has to be another way. You don't need to do this. I don't want to get things complicated. You have an image to maintain, please", I stand up abruptly from his hold. "It won't work.""It will, Freya." He is says with a frown. I sighed and fold my arms, as I pace round the room. My face was dry and my beat of my heart is loud.I hear him stand up. He spun me around to face him. I don't want to look him in the eyes. He is sacrificing too much to help me. What will happen if his family finds out?"Look at me, Freya", he says softly. I look up at him and my eyes fell on his lips instantly. If we are to act like real couples, then he is going to be kissing me more frequently

CHAPTER 40After the stunt we pulled at the cafeteria, Andre took me home. To say I am grateful for him is an understatement, I am extremely glad that the plan is already working in just a day and I even got to spend time with him, not like I didn’t spend almost all my time with him before this plan.Andre is a genius, I thought to myself, watching him in admiration. I can't wait to get to the office the next day to hear the latest news and to see the look of defeat on Baxter's face. I really hope Baxter will get to believe the baby isn't his when the news gets to him."Why are you staring at me that way?" Andre glances at me briefly before looking away."I just can't believe the plan is already working, Andre", I chuckle in excitement."I told you it will, didn't I?""Yes, you did. You are a genius."He laughs richly and I smile at him. "Are you happy?""Yes, I am. Thanks Andre." He nods in reply.We both fall silent before I d

CHAPTER 41I feel my mood of the day before always influences my mood for the next day. Well, it happens to me most of the time, I don't know if it's the same with every other person but it sure is for me.I walk into the office with a new found confidence and a big smile on my face. A smile that I am not faking, I am really happy and at peace with myself because finally with the help of Andre I've put to rest the rumours that were spreading about me. I don't need to be troubled about my growing stomach anymore.The only thing I am worried about is Andre's parents. Andre has talked to me and told me not to worry about them but I knew it always went with rich parents like his, they never thought anyone was good enough for their sons. I need to see Andre and talk to him about it. I really see no need going to meet his parents since everything is just a facade, at least to him but every moment we spend together just makes me want him more each day.I d

CHAPTER 42Despite how anxious I feel, I followed Andre behind calmly. I am trying to meet his long strides. As if noticing my discomfort in doing that, he stops walking all of a sudden, I almost run into him in my attempt to catch up with him.When I am beside him, he stretches his left hand out to me. I take it as an invitation to put my hands in his and I make sure it did lose the opportunity to hold his hand even if it is for the public. I smile in gratitude and place my hand into his, then we walk towards the hall where the press conference is going to take place, with our hands interlocked.I wish this is all true but I know it isn't. Andre is a caring man that any woman will love to have. My admiration for him has increased this past few months. The way he shows me care as if I am all that matters is enough to make I fall for him even more.He is doing all this for me, in spite of his busy schedules and prestige. He is doing it for me so I can be h

CHAPTER 43Andre doesn't answer for a while, thinking if he should let me come up for my own interview. I am hoping he will say a loud "yes, I do mind". When he turns to look at me, I know he is looking for a sign from me, to know if I want it or not. I want to shake my hand so he can say yes to the presenter, but I am finding it hard to shake in the midst of the people who are watching my every move.Just sitting here watching Andre, knowing the interview is about me and I am the center of attraction, I am trying so hard to remain calm. I know if I go up there, I might do something embarrassing, like tripping so I will end up falling face down or stammering or saying something totally out of line. I can't do this.Andre says something to the presenter."Miss Standford, will you mind coming up stage?" She ask loudly and I feel like attacking Andre.Can't he see how much I am struggling to sit here? Can't he just use his instinct to know I am

CHAPTER 44 My phone’s continuous ringing wakes me up from my night rest. Argh, who is disturbing me on a Saturday morning. I flutter my eyes open, pick up the phone from my side drawer to see the caller id . It should be mom calling but when I see Andre's name, my eyes open wide. Why is he calling me again? Today is Saturday, isn't it? Can’t I have a Andre free day? All this spending time together is taking a toll on me. I drop the phone and snuggle into bed, covering my head with the comforter. After a while, my phone rings again and I sigh. I know I will no longer be able to sleep again. I really do not feel like talking to Andre today. What happened between us yesterday is still bugging me. I was thinking about how I am in love with my boss over Till I slept off yesterday night.

CHAPTER 45After Andre left yesterday he didn't call me and I didn't call him even when I knew I should have called. What was I expected to say to him if I had called? Monday went by a blur too. He hardly acknowledged my presence. He made it all about work and this made me realize the how used to his compliments I was. It was like a drug I was addicted to and I needed it. I should be the one to stop this, I should have explained to him and never had allowed him to leave on Saturday, angry. I've never seen him angry at me. Andre sent me a message yesterday after work, asking me to prepare to go see his parents this evening. I wanted to send him a message back to tell him I won't be going but I know it was going to sound wrong. He was doing all this for me. I should be kind to him, not rude and dramatic. I have to apologise. I take a shower after resting a while when I get back from work before going over to my closet to look f
