The End

That morning, Jeanne woke up early. Its already the end of the month and she has to settle her Ma's hospital bills. She checked her onlime banking to see if her salary is in already or not.

Oh my God, cried Jeanne in heart.

Her heart almost fell of the ground seeing the amount of her salary. As they never talked or negotiate about the salary, Jeanne did not expected much, that is why she came out with the idea of doing part time job. With this salary, she not only able to support Ma's hospital bills, but she can live well for another 2 to 3 months.

She got out of the bed, with a feeling that she must serve Aaron well, with the kindness that he has shown (except for the fact that he always wanted Jeanne's body), Jeanne realized that she has to repay his kindness. She woke up from the bed and went to toilet to wash up. She then donned a soft purple mini laced gown with minimal waterfall hair braid and make up.

She arrived early than Aaron at the office.

She then cleant Aaron's table and prepare the tea. In the meantime, she went through the secret door, to see if there's anything she can do. But everything was in place. She then went outside and saw Aaron was sitting seriously on the couch.

"Morning, Aaron" Jeanne greeted Aaron with a big smile.

Unfortunately, Aaron didnt even look at her nor say a word. Jeanne was quite offended but she pushed the feeling. She quickly went to the pantry and continued preparing Aaron some breakfast.

Huh, must be so happy that a guy hugged her tightly last night, cheap girl! said Aaron angrily in his heart.

However, despite the anger, Aaron cannot restrain his eyes from looking at Jeanne who is showing her back to him. She quietly continue making tuna sandwich and tea.

Aaron analyzed Jeanne from afar. She really knew how to dress up. Everything was cut to minimal but it was perfect. The knee length mini gown fitted her body well and the braid made her looked super elegant. As always, Aaron kept on fell in love with her over and over again but the sight of last night really messed his feelings.

Jeanne turn around with the breakfast. Aaron tried to keep busy while ready news on his Ipad. Jeanne gracefully served the breakfast. Jeanne waited by Aaron's side to accompany him eating it but he was frozen, reading the so called news.

"Aa..." Jeanne tried to called Aaron but she was stopped

"Dont talk to me" said Aaron short.

Jeanne was so shocked with Aaron's cold treatment. What did she do wrong? She wanted to cry but she held back her tears. She just nodded sadly and went back to the pantry, waiting there silently.

Jeanne peeked at her watched. 15 minutes to 8 a.m. She still have time.

Aaron then started eating. He found the tuna sandwich was exceptionally delicious today but his ego tops everything. He kept a poker face while eating the sandwich till the plate empty. He then sip the tea and went to his work table.

Jeanne quickly cleaned the plate and the cup. She quietly keep it in the cabinet and walked her way out of the office and straight went to her office.

From Aaron's office, he can see that Jeanne was working hard. Aaron was happy to see another side of hardworking and focus Jeanne but the last night sight still disturb him. He was positive that the man was Andy, the one Jeanne once mentioned.

Why did he came back? Did they get back? Did Jeanne still loved him? So many question lingers on Aaron's mind.

Feeling being watched out, Jeanner held her head high to left and right and finally directly to Aaron's office, but Aaron was quick to camouflage with his Ipad. Jeanne then did not suspect Aaron and continue her work. Aaron was relieved that the clildish side of him was perfectly covered.

Few months passed and they both still live that way. Jeanne wanted to confront Aaron but she was too busy as she needed to tabled all the designs within another one week left. Luckily, she got a great team that helped her out. She just triggered ideas and the team will expand and explore the ideas. As a result, more than three quarter of the designs are done and they are left with few designs and final details.

That night, Jeanne worked overtime to finish the last two sketchs. The clock showed 10 p.m but Jeanne's office light is still open. So did Aaron's office.

Jeanne took a rest for a moment. She did not know why she always felt tired and restless lately. She also did not have the appetite to eat normal foods. All she can only eat is sushi rolls which she never liked before.

Thinking of sushi, Jeanne suddenly became hungry. Jeanne then took her bento and eat the leftover sushi rolls while continue sketching.

From afar, Aaron watched her back still bending to the table, focusly doing her job. These few weeks was such a pain for Aaron as he cannot even touch Jeanne who he did not want to talk to. Every morning, he realized that Jeanne constantly preparing him tea with tuna sandwich since he ate it until the plate is empty before that. However, he gradually observed that Jeanne seemed to be bothered with tuna smell and looked like she can throw up anytime soon. As far as he knew, Jeanne was never allergic of tuna. Hmm....

Jeanne continued sketching but her eyes starting to feel heavy. However, she insist on staying as she really wanted to finish the sketches.

Almost 30 minutes after that, Aaron realized that Jeanne was asleep on her table. His heart tickled with pity towards Jeanne who is such a workaholic. He then arranged steps to Jeanne's office.

He knocked the door but the knock did not seem to bother Jeanne's sleep. He then opened the door and stand beside Jeanne. Seing Jeanne pale and tired face, he felt pity to wake Jeanne up.

He then cleaned Jeanne's table and took the sushi rolls from Jeanne's hand and put it back in the bento.

Aaron slowly tried to wake Jeanne up but she did not move at all. Then, Aaron just decided to lift Jeanne to the bedroom in his office. Since tomorrow is weekend, so it is not worrying that they may woke up late.

"Oh Aaron..." Jeanne cracking voice called Aaron. Aaron realized that she now is half asleep but the voice of Jeanne calling his name made him felt giddy.

Aaron then put Jeanne on the bed. Jeanne seemed different. Her face seemed bad and exhausted but her body seems to be gaining weight.

Aaron reached his phone, texting Harry to clear and prepare things up, as usual.

After that, he headed back to Jeanne, cleaning Jeanne's body with luke warm water, change her clothes to a more comfortable sleepwear.

She must be so tired, said Aaron in his little heart, seeing Jeanne did not really react to his actions except some stretches.

Aaron took a chance to look as much as he can at the face he dear the most. He missed her so much but the fact the Jeanne in some other guy's hug really bothered him. He wanted to ask but he was afraid that the answer will make him frust and dissapoint more.

After finish washing up Jeanne, Aaron then went to the bathroom and took a bath. He then took a place beside Jeanne, and they both slept safe and sound that night.

Early that morning, Aaron woke up, directly headed to his office, picking up clothes left by Harry for Jeanne and started preparing breakfast. He just made an omellette and french toast. Once all finished, he then went back to the bedroom.

Jeanne was already awake the moment Aaron stepped back to the bedroom.

They both felt awkward as they havent talked for quite a while.

"Morning" greet Aaron simple.

He then passed the shopping bag to Jeanne. Jeanne just looked at him feelinglessly. She was being abandoned by the guy for quite a long time that she now is kind of used to it.

Aaron decided not to disturb Jeanne's feelings. He then slowly walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.

While he was bathing with mellow musics, suddenly a figure hugged him from the back. It was Jeanne.

Jeanne came into the shower with the sleepwear and it was completely soaked wet. Aaron was so happy that Jeanne's finally reacted to him. He turned and replied Jeanne's hug.

"I missed you" he whispered to Jeanne's ears.

Jeanne's slowly shed tears. When they were not in the good term, Jeanne only realized that Aaron has already occupied a special place in her heart for a long time and the fight really made her missed Aaron and realized that how she took Aaron's presence in her life of granted.

Only if she realized this earlier,

she would have accepted the marriage proposal,

she would have been happy now,

and she will never be treated that way by Andy.

Her sob caught Aaron's ears.

"Shushh" Aaron consoled her while patting on her back.

Soon after that, Jeanne stopped crying but she was too tired to even lift a finger. She literally lean on Aaron to stand just now. Seeing Jeanne in such condition, Aaron did not expect much from her. Aaron took the responsibility to take off Jeanne's cloth, gave her a proper bath.

Aaron realized something was off with Jeanne's body but he decided to keep it shut.

Then, Aaron helped Jeanne to wear the clothes and let Jeanne rest on the bed while he took turn to dress up. Then he went to the pantry to take the breakfast that he had prepared to the bedroom.

Jeanne was in dilemma whether to eat or not the breakfast. The fact that smell of the dish really want to make her throw up but Aaron's pure effort disallowed her to abandon the food.

She then tried to eat the food bit by bit. She find it very hard to chew and swallow the food but with Aaron's in front of her, she tried her best to finish the food. And finally, she finished.

"Is it delicious? Are you full now?" asked Aaron cheerfully.

Jeanne smiled.

"Yes, it was so.." before she even finished takling, she started to throw up heavily on the bed. Aaron was shock seeing Jeanne in such situation but went towards Jeanne to pat her back to calm her.

Now, Jeanne seemed all pale. Aaron was so worried. He quickly called hid personal doctor to check on Jeanne and called Harry to clean up the mess. He lifted Jeanne to the bathroom to clean up and let her rest at the couch while waiting for Harry to clean up the bed.

Indeed, his right men was so fast. Within half an hour, everything went normal in the bedroom and Jeanne can rest on the bed. Soon, the doctor arrived and checked on Jeanne.

Aaron was there together waiting for the result in the bedroom but Jeane insist that she wanted her medical record to be kept personal. Aaron did not want to argue and just followed Jeanne's request.

The doctor then started to talk to Jeanne.

"Ms. Heard, I think you are overworking. Maybe you can reschedule your work" suggested the doctor.

Jeanne just nodded lightly as she understood what the doctor is saying. She realized that she worked too hard these past few months because it is the first time that she led this big scale fashion collection and she wanted it to success flamboyantly.

"Also..." the doctor seemed hesitated to continue the next sentence. But, he continued somehow.

"When did you have your last menstrual?"

Jeanne was quite shocked hearing that question.

"My menstrual has never been stable since teenager. Maybe last 3 months?" replied Jeanne while checking her menstrual calendar.

The doctor stopped for a while.

"I believe you are also tired as your body now faces a massive change. I believe you are pregnant in your first trimester" said the doctor calmly.

When Jeanne heard the word pregnant, she felt that the whole earth fell on her head.

Oh my God, what now...
