Mr Ceo, I'm Carrying Your Babies

CHAPTER 5

Two weeks! Two weeks of successfully avoiding Mr. White, my boss and fate slaps her in the back with a fucking 'pick-me' tag. Although it wasn't that hard because he was always cooped up in his office with his girlfriend, Mia, a super hot model with an hourglass figure that would shame even an hourglass itself. 

She was always visiting him and walking around with this air of pride and making everyone else feel like the gum beneath her shoes, at least Mary was the one feeling attacked the most. 

The lady was always trying to get Mr.White's attention, it was so obvious and soon, she'll probably get fired. Not even her sugar daddy, Andre will be able to save her. 

She was on her way from getting extra hard papers for letterheads from the storage room when Brian a fellow co-worker, stopped her. Brian is a cute guy with your regular boy-next-door vibes.

 His charming looks and dimple smile would melt any girl's heart. Perhaps she just saw too much into him and hated his narcissistic behavior, the reason for her regular decline every time he asked her out on a date. 

"I understand that you're playing hard to get, but it's been months, Sophia. Will you really not give me a chance? Don't I meet your standards?" He asked and he was oozing so many red flags she could make a whole bucket of red paint. 

"I'm not playing hard to get. You're the one with a hard skull that can't seem to understand the word 'NO'. Stop bothering me, Brian. I don't want to receive a query because of you." 

She tried to walk away from him but he held her hand and pulled her back, causing her to crash against him. Their chest presses together and his hand wrapped around her waist. 

"What the hell are you doing! Let go!" She whisper-yelled.

"I don't-"

"Hey! What do you guys think you're doing!" 

They both looked to their side and saw Chris ...fuming. Brian immediately let go of her and began to explain himself. 

"Save it. I'm guessing you have too much time on your hands. Report yourself to HR and tell them I said to give you the China project. I want the report on my desk by Monday, am I clear?" His voice boomed and she was thankful he didn't direct that impossible-to-achieve assignment to her

. 

"Yes sir." Brian stammered and he swore his legs looked jelly. 

"Good, failure to do that and be ready to tender your resignation letter. Get out of my sight!" 

Brian scurried away and she immediately glued my gaze to the floor when she felt Mr. White glaring at her.

"You, come with me." 

She didn't look up until she heard him walking away. She followed him until they got to his office. Thankfully, his girlfriend wasn't inside.

"If you have so much time on your hands to keep an office relationship then-"

She shouldn't have but she couldn't help herself, so she cut him off. "I'm not. He was forcing himself-"

"I don't care. From now on, you're my secretary and will only report to this floor and to my office." 

"Sec-secretary?" She stammered.

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" 

His previous secretary got married and was moving to the other side of the country. Andre had asked everyone interested in the position to apply, she hadn't. 

"I didn't apply." She said, 

"You didn't have to. A lot of people recommended you. So go to my receptionist, she has thirty minutes to show you around, then report back with the shipping industry file." He said with a dismissive wave. 

And that is how she ended up working with Chris White till early dawn. 

She was too scared to sleep because she was worried he would fire her for slacking but after dousing more than ten cups of caffeine and yawning like she was making an album, she dozed off on the couch with different files scattered around her.

It felt soft and wet and...

It felt like someone was kissing me and the realization made me snap my eyes open. I came eye to eye with Chris glaring down at me. 

"Sleeping on the job?" He curled an eyebrow and she stood up immediately bumping their foreheads together. 

"Ow!" She exclaimed, rubbing it hard. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was-" 

"No excuses. I'll let you off this time. We're done anyway, you can leave." 

He said and walked into the room in his office while she touched my lips, it felt...moist. 

Had she imagined the kiss? She was starting to think she was going nuts. 

On my way home since Chris gave me three hours to get back to work, she kept thinking about her new position and how it would affect my work life with Chris.

She couldn't even reject it because he gave it to her and secondly, the pay was actually far better than her previous salary. 

She came up with a different plan to avoid him and so far, so good. 

The tension and awkwardness was still there but most times they were able to push it aside and focus on our jobs. On so many occasions, Mia would glare at me and sometimes she even asked Chris why Sophia was working in the same office as him.

Insecure much?

Sophia ignored her and her deadly stares and focused on her work.

Weeks later and it was supposed to be her first pay after being promoted but she fell sick. 

She had been planning for months what she would do with the money and how she would spend the entire day shopping with her best friend but I ended up in the hospital instead. 

"What's wrong with her doc? Does she have the flu?" Kira, her bestie asked with that motherly concern of hers. 

"I'm sure it's nothing. Stop worrying so much." Sophia rolled my eyes at her and she glared at her.

"She's actually right, Miss. Your friend is fine. In fact, it's a thing of joy." The doctor said with a smile. 

Kira raised an eyebrow, "Her illness is a thing of joy?" 

He nodded, "Yes, because she's actually th

ree weeks pregnant." 

"What!" 

"What!" They chorused at the same time. 

Oh no!
