Future Lady Boss

Jude read the message from Jeremy and smiled. He casually typed a reply to him, telling him that they had actually having a wonderful night together and that morning too. When he recalled the event that had transpired last night and this morning too, his mood became sunny and beaming all the while.

But recalling what his nephew mentioned in the message earlier, could it be that she is afraid that she might pregnant? He didn't mind at all even if she might pregnant with his child. He would be thrilled! He had his heart and mind set on her, so it naturally will happen sooner or later, no? . Then, why is she afraid? And now the most important question is, where is she?

Jude quickly dialed her number. There was a beeping sound but was left unanswered. Jude frowned. He began to feel anxious and tried to call her again, it was still left unanswered. His heart began to race in anxious as his calls were all unanswered. He ended up calling Tony to enter his office.

"Help me to call all the clinics in town, especially the one frequented by the wealthy to check whether they attend to Miss Rose today. Quick!" Tony who had been summoned abruptly shocked with the given task. Call all the clinics in town? Wasn't that too exaggerating? Nevertheless, he just did whatever task he was given.

Meanwhile, at the Townshend's lobby, a young lady in her smart attire – a blue ruffled blouse and a high-waist black pencil-skirt that slightly above her knees talked to the receptionist in a humble and friendly manner. Her hair tied into an elegant ponytail. Her cheeks blushed seductively that the male employees of Townshend's corporation were practically blew away by her appearance. The receptionist then brought her directly to CEO's room as per instruction from Tony, Mr Jude's personal assistance. Tony was actually surprised to see her came all the way to Townshend Corporation. He quickly walked towards her and greeted her.

"Hello, Miss Rose. How are you?" he politely greeted Rose and bowed his head slightly.

"Hello Tony. I'm good. Nice to see you again," Rose bowed her head slightly as well. This act had gain yet another admiration from the Townshend's employees. It seemed that their future lady boss was not some arrogant and snobbish young lady. She had the personality befitting her status. Unlike some women back then who claimed to be their future lady boss.

"Are you here for Mr Jude? He has been trying to call you just now. And even ordered me to make some calls," Tony blurted that made Rose stunned while the receptionist was astounded. This is Miss Rose Smith? The rumoured girlfriend of their CEO? Goodness! To see her upfront made her in awed and inspired to become like her.

Rose who was oblivious to the way the other employees looked at her was momentarily stunned upon hearing what Tony had said earlier. Uh… Called me? She instinctively took out her iPhone 11 Pro from her Hermes handbag and realized she had fifteen missed calls and they were all from – Jude. She was speechless.

"Sorry, I've set my phone to vibrate mode. Hence didn't notice the phone calls," she said apologetically in a humble way. This had incidentally made those who saw her to be fascinated with her being.

Jude who was restless in the office, stood abruptly from the leather sofa and swiftly made his way out of the door. It was as if the time has stopped, his racing heart beating so hard against his ribcage that he found himself having difficulty to breathe. He blinked his eyes numerous times before he rushed to the young lady and wrapped her up in his arms all of sudden that Rose found herself suffocating and struggled to take a deep breath. Her face reddened in shyness by the sudden hug.

"Jude… Your employees are watching us." She whispered softly. Jude quickly regained his composure and glanced at his stunned employees. Indeed, Townshend's employees that watched the rare scene were completely astounded. They had never saw their CEO to act so romantically before although there were plenty more exquisite women had came to their company for him. He usually had his stern and solemn aura whenever deal with those women. But it was different this time. They could see the pinkish bubbles in the air and the atmosphere instantly turned into spring. Was the current rumour true? That their CEO is actually date the popular wealthy socialite?

Without saying any words, Jude simply held her waist intimately and brought her to his office, leaving the employees with their own wild thoughts. Tony who was stood quietly on the side, sighed. My good captain was losing his head, he lamented inwardly. He then instructed Miss Ying, the secretary to prepare some drinks and snacks to be sent to CEO's office and she gladly complied to the task at hand. Only then she could see the young lady up close one more time!

Jude seated her on the sofa, with his hands holding still her waist, his head was on the crook of her neck. These actions made Rose to feel a little bit stiff and awkward. They were in the office, for God's sake! What did he think of by doing so? She never thought he was capable of showing his affection, crystal clear like a blue sky outside the building. Rose cleared her throat.

"Jude… We need to talk." She finally spoke after gathering every ounce of her courage. Jude raised his head and gazed into her eyes.

"Is it about the possibility of getting pregnant?" Jude guessed right on the spot. Rose bit her lip and nervously clenched her hands together. She stared back at him, searching for reassurance and sincerity in those eyes. Well, she was well aware that most of the men only loved to take advantage, hence the insecurity that she felt at the moment. What if he didn't want to be responsible? What then? And she knew if she was going to regret all the decisions that she had made earlier, then everything will be crumbled into nothingness.

"We will marry each other so you don't have to be worried about getting pregnant because of what we have done. At least please allow me to be responsible." It was then there was a sound of glasses crashing on the floor. The two of them looked towards the door and saw it was his secretary, Miss Ying and behind her was Tony, who was clearly dumbstruck with what he had heard. My good captain did it? Gosh! Is he at last lost his chastity? This is indeed a huge news!

Rose's face reddened as they were caught by the others. Jude cleared his throat then sat elegantly beside Rose, held her left hand and casually showed off the diamond ring that shone gloriously on her ring finger.

"You two will be the first to know that, Rose and I had actually engaged to each other." He happily announced to them before he lovingly gazed at Rose next to him and added, "So, I just want you know that I am indeed love this woman."

Tony and Miss Ying were both speechless. First, their boss told them he was engaged to Miss Rose Smith and secondly, he love her. Goodness! This is beyond their comprehension and of course, it is an enormous news!

"Boss, then should I share the good news with other colleagues in our group?" Miss Ying asked. She was in ecstatic mood upon listening to her boss' words earlier. Oh! Big Boss is officially off market! Tony who stood beside her looked askance at her, but what made him even speechless was when Jude casually responded, "Sure, go ahead!" The sun must be risen from the west that day!
