Chapter 7: warning

“ Oh God, this woman is such a chattering box, ” he said inwardly.

“ Who's she? ” he said unceremoniously, making Mrs Wilson choke on her food.

Carmen's expression turned so ugly that she could hardly conceal it. She could only try to plaster a fake smile on her face while gripping the fork tightly.

“ Son, are you joking? How could you ask such a silly question? It's Carmen, your childhood friend. When you were six, you used to call her your bride. Have you forgotten so soon? Mrs Wilson asked with a smile.

Sean wrinkled his face in disgust. He must have been crazy when he was a child, he thought.

“ Oh! she could get a job through her capabilities. I am not going to bypass it because she's your friend's daughter, ” he said, twisting the discussion.

Carmen was dumbfounded.

“ Is he trying to say he didn't remember? and I was only his mom's friend's daughter? She thought.

She felt like someone was ripping her heart. back when she was studying in Canada. There was no day she didn't stare at his pictures online and she had tons of magazines with his picture in them.

She had thought he would embrace her and also be happy that she was back, but hearing all that he said, she was taken aback.

“ Is he saying this on purpose or does he really don't remember me? She said inwardly.

She glanced at his chiselled face, straight nose and thin pink lips. His skin was so smooth and poreless with his jet-black hair that was combed to the back.

“ I won't give up on him. Yes, I will try my best to impress him. I am sure he's going to like me too soon ” she thought as she took in a sharp breath.

Andrea was clearing up the room with the help of Elena. Today they went shopping and they replaced several things.

“ Hey girl, I love your Chanel purse . When will you hand it over? Elena asked as her gaze remained on the pink bag.

Andrea laughed ” Alright, you can have it. okay? “ she said and was about to pass it over but it dropped from her hands and the whole content slipped from the purse.

Elena clicked her tongue and squatted down to pick up the content. She was about to put the last thing in, when her eyes caught sight of a silver watch.

“ Wow girl, you are so rich you know, ” Elena said as she fiddled with the watch.

Andrea's mood fell a little at the sight of the watch. She took in a deep breath " It isn't mine. I saw it the following morning inside the hotel room,” she explained.

Elena understood immediately “ This is a men's watch. I am sure it must cost a fortune. I mean, I haven't seen this kind of design before. Are you sure you didn't spend the night with some kind of second-rich heir generation? ” she said with her eyes widened.

Andrea rolled her eyes ” Oh please. I'm not sure it even cost 5 dollars. Stop daydreaming ” she said and tossed the watch into the drawer.

Elena shrugged her shoulders ” Alright if you say so,“ she said.

<<>> THREE MONTHS LATER < <>>

It was the month of July. Andrea got ready for work and glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Her baby bump was now obvious, the employees had been going all in to gossip about it.

After all, how did a single lady end up pregnant overnight? She knew that was everyone's thought. But she owed no one any explanation and no one dared to ask her.

She came downstairs slowly, she was already five months in and luckily, she had a petite figure. So it wasn't that huge.

Elena was also dressed and ready for work.

“Are you ready? ” Elena asked as she picked up her car keys from the coffee table.

Elena's boyfriend got her a new car last month for her birthday after proposing to her.

Andrea nodded as she drank warm water from her bottle.

“ When will you take a pregnancy leave from work? “ Elena asked, worriedly ” Relax, I will soon, but for now I am still strong enough to work, “ she said, giving her a reassuring smile.

” Alright you need to leave from work early . Don't forget you need to go for an antenatal check-up,“ Elena reminded.

” Yes mom, “ Andrea said and they both laughed.

They drove straight to Shimmer's company . After Andrea got down, she waved at Elena.

” Take good care of my twins, “ Elena said before driving away.

Andrea nodded and walked into the company. In the fourth month, the doctor confirmed she was pregnant with twins. She was overwhelmed with joy; she believed the babies were her ray of hope and happiness.

The company was launching their

masterpiece in two days. Everyone in the company was busy with the jobs they were assigned to. The news had spread all over Australia and America . It was now the talk of the country. Everyone was looking forward to the grand opening.

On this day they won't only be introducing their new masterpiece, but an auction is going to take place to raise funds for motherless kids. People from special backgrounds all over the world are going to be present and this is one of the reasons everything must go perfectly.

Immediately she strolled into the noisy company everywhere, suddenly quieted down as they all stared at her while some who were audacious were talking about her in an audible tune.

"Just look at her She's so shameless. She knows how to act righteous more than anyone else. Yet she's pregnant without even having a boyfriend“

”You are right and she still has the guts to show her face. If I was the one I would run away from here and never come back “

” Did she have sex for money? “

“ if she had, she would have aborted the child. I guess she might be a surrogate mother just for money “

Andrea suddenly stopped in her tracks. She already knew she was the target of gossip. They had been mocking her over the past months, but she had never made any comments on it.

She could tolerate their insults, but if anyone ever says anything about her unborn babies, she refuses to remain silent.

She walked over to the last employee who said it. Her gaze was so cold that they all felt like the room temperature had lowered.

” What did you say? Come again “ Andrea said in an unfriendly tone.

The rest of the employees were all scared of the coldness she was exuding, but the lady who made the last statement didn't seem to be intimidated at all.

She folded her arms to her chest ” I said you are a surrogate mother,“ Daisy said confidently.

” smack! “ Andrea gave her a heavy slap on the cheek, leaving her hand print on the lady's face.

Everyone gasped in shock. They had never seen this side of her; they had all seen her as a person that was easily to bully.

Daisy glared at her with bulging eyes ” you think slapping me will stop me from telling the truth, the rest might be scared of you But I am not, “ she said confidently.

” like your stinky opinion is needed. What right do you think you have to poke a nose into my affairs? When your boyfriend was cheating on you with your best friend, these friends of yours still gossiped about you behind your back and called you all sorts of names. Of course, I am not trying to manipulate you. You can ask them yourself.“

Andrea said as her gaze travelled to the ladies.

She turned her gaze back to all the workers present there ” and this should serve as a warning to you all when I hear anyone say anything about me and my uborn children, I promise to make that person pay mark my words “ she announced before storming away.

Some of the employees glanced at her with a look of respect and admiration. Those who were whispering and saying stuff behind her back felt very embarrassed.

Daisy glared at her friends with red eyes ” Wow! Thank you so much for all that you guys said “ she said and ran away.

“ dais ....” Before they could call out to her, she had already disappeared from their sight.

” How did Andrea find out? “ one of the ladies said, with her eyes narrowed.

“ One of you over here is Judas. They said, as they glanced at each other suspiciously.

What they didn't know was Andrea had a keen hearing and she could easily pick up words from afar. It was one of her special gifts.
