Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue

'Good morning Jason ', Rebecca greeted her ex husband smiling willingly.

'Good morning Rebecca. What is the meaning of this?'

'The meaning of what?'

:What are you doing here in my office? Did you have an appointment? Or have you forgotten that this is an office? And there are rules to be followed here?' he asked barely controlling himself.

'I didn't know that such rules applied to me as well. It didn't in the past. I could come visit it at will'.

'In the past being the operating word. That was in the past. Now, you have lost all right to come here at will. You were my wife and could come here as you pleased but you are no longer my wife. In fact you are someone else's wife and you should book an appointment before coming to see me and your reason for wanting an appointment with me should be valid and by that I mean business and formal and never personal. Now why are you here?'

'You have not even asked me to be seated. Is that how you treat your clients?'

'Rebecca, I am a very busy man and your presence here is grating on my nerves because for the life of me, I can't fathom why you are here. It was okay for you to be at the luncheon, anyone could have invited you but here, I have not invited you and neither do you have an appointment so please be brisk with what you are here for so that I can continue with my work'.

'That's okay. You have a right to be angry. I am here on a peace mission. I want to invite you to have dinner with me', she said calmly and Jason could only stare at her. This woman had guts.

Who did she think that she was? To run away with his money and best friend, divorce him demanding a handsome alimony and then after a while, appearing out of the blue to ask him to dinner, very calmly without any remorse as though that was the right thing to do.

'You must have other important people to go out with, I am a busy man and my busy schedule encourages no such frivolities. Thanks for the invite but no thanks', he said smiling sarcastically.

'Don't flatter yourself Mr. Campbell. You are my ex husband and I have a business proposition for you. I was not inviting you out for personal purposes. What did you think? That I would divorce you only to come crawling back to you?' she said lying through her teeth.

Her intention was to bruise his ego so that he goes out with her. Then she can put the next part of her plan into action.

Jason could not believe the woman. He knew that she was someone who said what she thought but this was a totally different person but maybe not. He never really knew her

If he had, he would never been in the situation she left him.

'So what would it be? Business or no business?' she asked tauntingly.

Jason was still undecided and hesitated and Rebecca took advantage of his indecision to drive home her point.

'What are you afraid of Jason? Are you afraid that if you went out to dinner with me, you will realise that you still love and desire me? Or are you scared that you will fall in love with me all over again?'

'What time?' Jason snapped. He was not going to be ridiculed by this piece of shit who thought herself more than she really was.

'7pm, at the La Cuisine Hotel. I shall be there with my proposal

Please be early. Thanks and have a great day'.

She walked out the office and the company with her head held high.

She was going to make Jason hers before the day was out or at least she would get him to desire her beyond his control.

Jason could not believe what Rebecca had done but he consoled himself with the thought that it was about business and no matter what history they shared, business was business and though he found it hard to trust her, he recalled that she had said she was not looking to being intimate with him again. She had virtually said that she loved her independence and that was okay by him.

After to he close of work, he tried to finish off by 5pm and not stay late because of the business date he had with Rebecca.

He drove Nancy home and the silence was awkward.

Nancy knew it was not her business but she thought that he would have told her about Rebecca's visit and what she wanted just like he had confided in her the night they had ended up sharing that memorable kiss.

Nancy had to stop herself. The memory of the kiss made her feel hot and flushed. She felt that her hormones were acting up again and blamed it on the pregnancy.

:I have no right thinking about that kiss. I am going to have a baby and he has his mistresses and his wife is back now and may get back into his life, then what would become of me if I f as lol in love with him because of my foolish thoughts and desires?' she murmured to herself.

Jason had been stealing glances at her and saw her flush and he felt that she must be remembering the kiss they had shared and his body reacted strangely. He felt elated that she had remembered the kiss. So, maybe she was not as indifferent to him as she was making out. But the slight frown that furrowed her brows and the serious look on her face showed that she was deep in though and then she murmured to herself.

'A penny for them?'

Nancy looked up shocked out of her reverie and saw him looking at her with a very tender look on his face. It was nearly her undoing but she remembered that that was how he cared for all his employees and there was nothing special in his looks and why would there be when he could take his pick out of the beautiful women around him who would give anything to be with him.

'Nothing!'

'Nothing?'

'I mean I was not really thinking about anything just that Rebecca is a very beautiful woman and the both of you make a handsome pair'.

Jason looked at her and back on the road. He could have sworn that she was remembering their kiss.

'About the kiss yesterday....'

'Oh, not again. Forget about it would you. It was nothing. So do not read any meanings into it because there is none other than the obvious. A friend comforting another'.

Jason looked at her disappointed and nodded. Then concentrated on his driving.

Nancy knew that she had been harsh but she had not want to be reminded and for Jason to talk about it just when she had given him an opening to tell her about his wife's visit at the office meant that he wanted to apologise to her again and tell her it was all a mistake and she did not want to hear it.

Soon they were home and she got put of the car, said her thanks and walked straight to her quarters. She had to start staying in her limits.

Jason went upstairs, had his bath and got prepared for his dinner date.
