||" Damien Troy "||The meeting ended quite better than I had thought it would. Even though I was aware of Jason's obvious dissatisfaction, there was not much he could do about the situation.I was currently on my way to drop off my father at home, and then I will head to the office. I had decided not to go to the office again when I knew I was going to accompany my father to a meeting, but after talking with Alexandra while making breakfast and of course, after the recent discussion with Jason, I needed to be at the office. Besides, I miss Kristen and it will be very nice to surprise her."What do you intend to do about the workers' son, why didn't you just let him make his choice and avoid the stress of going through another cycle of finding people that are competent enough for the company?" Father asked,I was expecting that question since, but it was a question that I could only answer by omitting the truth, especially now that I am just trying to build a good relationship with th

||" Damien Troy "||I knew from the moment that Kristen had returned from where she went, I had wanted to step out of the office to check the settings in the flowers that I had delivered to her.My intentions had been to take a glimpse of what the flowers looked like, there was also chocolate cake and smoothies delivered alongside the flowers. This was the last bit of what I had sent Vitali to get. I remembered how much she enjoyed smoothies when we were still in Russia, but immediately I opened my office door to check on how the setup was on her table. I heard footsteps, which I recognised as hers so I quickly retreated inside my office.After spending a few days with her both in Russia and together over the weekend, I could boldly say, I could tell her walking pace from a distance.So hearing the knock on the door didn't come as a surprise to me at all, I was already anticipating the knock in fact.I was already preparing my nerves for the knock to come and for everything that would

||" Damien Troy "||I needed to talk to Sky before they left work today, but the problem was how I was going to get alone, without Kristen being aware of it. The question I was going to be asking Sky was meant to be a surprise to Kristen and it will not be nice if she got a whiff of it.It would ruin the surprise.And also, I felt weird, ever since Kristen stepped out of the room an unsettled emotion gnawed on my throat. I did not comprehend why I suddenly felt like that, everything had gone well, and the conversations we had flowed quite naturally, and even the little banter we had was fun.But ever since I lifted my gaze and realized that the sound I had heard earlier was the sound of the door closing after she left the room, that empty sickening feeling seemed to come at me, almost overwhelming me.But I needed to clear my head, in the next two days I will be accompanying Kristen to do her daily checkups in the hospital, even though I still don't know if the pregnancy belongs to me

||" Damien Troy "||The unexpected turn of events today has my nerves wavering all over the place, not to mention the fact that I am standing face-to-face with Kristen in front of her house.Judging by the look on her face, she too was shocked, I never mentioned anything about being in her house today, I mean how could I when I had no idea that I would be standing here right now?"Kristen, who is that at the door? Is that Jason?' I heard a voice which I recognized as Sky's call out from inside while walking to the door, when she got to the door and spotted us she froze. "Hi!" She said and I couldn't help but sign in relief. At least she was not stark speechless like Kristen was."Hi, baby. Why are you so surprised?" Jason chuckled, "Look at you frozen in your tracks,""Sorry," She muttered, her eyes still trained on me, I couldn't tell if she was happy, surprised, or disappointed."Why are you guys standing out there, you should come inside." Sky muttered, "Kristen move,""Uh, yeah, s

I almost did, " I rasped trying to steady my nerves."Who is it? Who got you so worked up like this?" Jameson asked,"That bastard son of a bitch. God, I have no idea how I am going to be working alongside that guy, he is so annoying.""Here is your drink," Alexis said as he handed me a glass of drink. I took it and gulped it down, instantly feeling my nerves settle."Thank you," I said."It's nothing. I will be preparing our drinks for tonight since I am in a good mood. So better call up those twin idiots to show up early while I am still being nice," Alexis said and we all chuckled."They'll be here any minute from now.
