Chapter fifty Eight

Sophie got up quiet refreshed and stronger than before, even though her pregnancy made her weaker than her usual self, she still feels quiet okay after her jet lagged illness.

She didn't just want to disturb Marcus about how seriously ill she was, but now she was feeling a lot better than usual.

There was a knock faint on her door and Sophie called out for the person to enter.

Evelina was a little surprised when she entered and saw Sophie fully up and dressed with a smile plastered on her face.

"Oh dear, how are you feeling now. I can see you're doing a lot better than the last two days" She said walking up to he smiling gratefully.

Sophie returned her smile, "You're right, I woke up this morning feeling a lot better and refreshed, thanks to you though"

"I did nothing, I'm really glad you're okay now, I was already thinking we would have to take you to the hospital for checkup, don't you need to go though?"

Sophie shook her head, "hmm uhmn...."

Evelina nodded as the door opened again and Camille walked inside and ran towards Sophie.

"Oh big Baby, good morning beautiful" Sophie clamped her to herself and hugged her tight.

"Good morning Mommy"

"Am sure Aunt Evelina took good care of you while I was sick right?"

Camille nodded smiling at Evelina.

Sophie patted and stroked her hair, smiling down at her.

"I prepared breakfast, Elliot and Ben are downstairs,but I can help you prepare something else should in case that doesn't suit your taste."

"It's fine, right now I don't even Know what I want or what I don't, I just know I'm hungry"

"Now let me help you down stairs to the dining table so as to get your breakfast or should u bring it up again"

"Evelina! I'm fine, being heavy does not make me a liability, I can very well handle myself."

Evelina nodded smiling apologetically at Sophie and she picked Camille up as the walked out of the room, closing the door behind them.

When they got down the stairs, Sophie saw many baby products and as much baby things as she had ever seen.

"Where do this come from?" Sophie asked excitedly walking towards the baby stuffs.

Ben stood up from where he was sitting and walked towards where Sophie was standing, examining the baby stuffs.

"We don't know either, we just found them by the gate side this morning....."

"May be they're from Marcus then" Sophie suggested smiling at the beautiful baby dolls.

Ben and Elliot exchanged glances with each other.

"We're not really sure about that, if they're from him, I'm sure he'd have called to tell is he's sending this stuffs. But he didn't"

"Then call to ask him"

"We have, but Taylor said he's busy and he'll reach us back when he's less busy"

"Then we'll have to wait till he comes back and I'll admire these until he does" Sophie made to take the doll but Elliot quickly held her hand.

"Don't Miss, I'll advise we leave them the way it is until we confirm who it's from"Elliot told her and Ben nodded his head in approval too.

Sophie stepped back in frustration and walked to the kitchen to meet Camille and Evelina muttering angrily.

"And what made you so upset?" Evelina asked her.

"Those baby stuffs are obviously from Marcus, but Ben and Elliot are Making a bigger deal out of it." Sophie scoffed.

"I understand you, but try to understand them too, I bet they're those stuffs are from the boss because if they are he would have called immediately to inform us about it and since he didn't......"

Sophie scoffed again.

"Whoever sent those baby stuff on now's am pregnant and only wanted to wish me well...."

"Even if they're from Stacy, or Leslie?"

Sophie sent her an awkward glance and looked away again.

"You're right though. Let just wait till he calls then"

After Sophie are her breakfast with Evelina and Camille, They all retired to the basement, where the swimming pool was, the cool breeze and cool water made everything relaxing and refreshing.

Even Sophie couldn't help but change into a lighter clothing suitable for swimming as she couldn't wear her swim suit again and slip slowly into the water. The feelings only made her brain seize with the relaxation of the calming feeling.

Elliot and Ben sat few feet away from the pool, sipping and talking quietly to each other as they watch the three ladies including Camille have fun in the pool.

Sophie looked toward the men sitting few feet from them and caught the frown on Ben and Elliot's face as Ben removed the phone from his ear.

"What's wrong?" Sophie asked when they got closer.

Ben spoke first. "The baby products aren't from the boss."

"And he told us to discard them immediately" Elliot finished.

"Wait.....what does.....what does discard mean if I may ask?" Sophie asked getting upset as she tried to get out if the water and Ben quick moved to help her.

"He told us to dispose them away"

"Those beautiful....so beautiful baby dolls and clothings are going to be discarded? Disposed?....Where is my phone, I need to call Marcus"

She walked into the house and they all followed her, Evelina smuggling Camille into her arms.

Sophie went straight up to her room and grabbed her phone. She also took out a towel to wrap herself in so as not to catch a cold as she was still wet.

Evelina didn't follow her, she must have gone to get herself and Camille dressed up. So she was alone.

Marcus didn't pick his calls, Taylor did.

"Can I speak to Marcus please?" She asked.

"He's busy now..."

"I want to speak with Marcus!"This time she didn't put any pleasing words, he should know that Marcus would always want to speak to her, no matter how busy he was.

"Ok..... please hold on a sec....."

"Sophie..." Marcus sexy voice drawled.

The sound of his voice almost made her forgot what she called for, but she wouldn't be distracted.

"Why did you ask for the disposal of the baby stuff"

"Good morning to you too dearest, and how's your night" Marcus said getting her even more frustrated.

"Cut if out Marcus, I'm serious here"

"I didn't send those stuff, we didn't know who did, it could probably be from Stacy or Leslie or anyone you could have rivals with"

"What if they're from someone I don't have rivals with?"

*That we don't know but we need to be careful Sophie, you may think those her cute, pretty baby dolls but they shouldn't...."

That was exactly what she thought, and she wasn't ready to let go of them.

"Can you me keep these just this once, please" she begged.

"Sophie you can't, everything..... everyone's dangerous right now. Not especially when you're getting stuffs from anyone you don't know......"

"please..." She continued begging him.

"Sophie......"

"Please Marcus" Her voice sounded so hoarse and pleading and beautiful that he just couldn't resist her pleas.

"Okay fine, I'll try to find out who sent those products here, but keep it right where it is. Do not touch them or take them anywhere. So whatever I find will determine if you'll keep them it not"

"uhmmnn uhmmnn. Thank you! pleat relay the news to Ben and Elliot, I'm sure they wouldn't listen if i tell them."

"They don't listen to you?"Marcus asked.

"No....no not that, of course they do, they won't just.... might not listen if I tell them not to throw out the stuffs"

"Uhmnn Okay, I'll tell them"

After Sophie ended the call, she would have jumped up if it weren't for her big belly.

"Marcus had finally let me keep the stuffs. So let them be,he said we shouldn't touch them though" She told Ben and Elliot after she went downstairs.

"Seriously!" Evelina shrieked at what Sophie said and almost ran to her.

Sophie nodded, "Until he found out who they're from at least"

"Good then" Evelina said and walked away.

"And where's Camille?" She asked.

"Sleeping peacefully"Evelina answered.

"Good. Thank you for taking good care of her. I don't know what I'll have done without you"

Evelina smiled and walked away.
