Chapter 28 I'm very sorry

Luna entered the house and she went straight to her room surprising Bella. She locked herself in her room and began crying. To her, what Ethan did was despicable because she's pregnant. She felt like her son watched her kissing another man. But she solely didn't blame him. She also blamed herself thinking that maybe she behaved in a way that made him think that she was okay with him kissing her.

"Luna are you okay?" she heard Bella ask. She wiped her tears quickly and stood up to open the door. "Yes, just some memories," she lied. They sat on her bed. "You shouldn't do this Luna it's not good for the baby." "Yeah I've stopped." "Was that Ethan? You should have brought him in and we have dinner with him." Bella missed him. She had last seen him on his daughter's birthday so she wished to see him again. "He seemed to be in a hurry so I didn't invite him in," said Luna. "Okay."

"BTW I wanted to talk to you about something. My due date is nearing. So I was thinking about us shifting to a bigger place since we are soon getting another family member. So, are you coming with me?" Luna asked. "Are you even serious? You're asking me that? He's my son too and so I'm also raising him. When should we shift then?"asked Bella. "Not now. I think we should shift when I make eight months. What do you think?" she asked. "Yes that will do. Meanwhile let me be looking for nice houses."

Ethan was worried the next day at work on how Luna would react. Will she resign? Will she hate me? Will she distance herself from me? All these thoughts were flowing in his mind. He then heard his door open and he saw her entering. He immediately said," Luna I'm very sorry about yesterday. I will never do it again. I honestly don't know what came over me." "It's okay. I'm also responsible for this because maybe my actions gave you the wrong idea," she said and he immediately understood that she was going to distance herself from him. He said," It's not like that Luna. It's entirely my fault. Don't create distance between us." "But I think it will be better if we only have employer- employee relationship. That way we won't have misunderstandings." "No. If you really value our friendship Luna don't say this. I'm really sorry," he said. Luna was now getting confused because he seemed to be sincere. She was always that kind. She sighed and said," Fine. But promise you won't be doing it again." "I promise."

At lunch time, Luna went to the cafeteria and ordered food for herself before sitting on an empty table to eat her food. She then noticed that the workers on the next table on her left were talking about her but she didn't mind them. They were three girls. They then decided to raise their voices for her to hear. One said," I heard that one of us here is carrying the heir of the Carter empire!!" She was clearly implying her because she was the only one pregnant. The other said," Some girls are really fast at action. It's not yet even a year but someone already made her way to the CEO'S bed." The third one was laughing and they all looked at her table to see her reaction but she didn't give any. When they failed to provoke her , one stood up and went to her table and said," We all thought that you were innocent at first but who could have thought you had some tricks up your sleeves! But for a newcomer we should really applaud you for being able to get your way in the CEO'S bed."

"What is happening here?" They all heard a deep voice and turned to see their CEO standing there looking at them with his cold blue eyes. They were surprised because he never came to the cafeteria. He walked to them and asked,"What were you talking about Luna?" She dubbed her lips with a napkin and said," They were simply applauding me for being able to climb your bed." They widened their eyes because they didn't expect her to say it straightforwardly. Ethan knew for sure that she didn't take those words as plain as she said them. They started trembling after seeing the cold look in the CEO'S eyes. He pulled out his phone and called the HRM to come immediately to the cafeteria. Shortly, the HRM came and Ethan said," I want these three fired and find their replacement in a week. Also make sure that they don't get jobs anywhere else." Now it was Luna's turn to widen her eyes in surprise. She didn't expect them to get fired. She thought that they would just be punished. They all started sobbing and went on their knees pleading to the CEO to forgive them but he left.
