chapter nine

TARA POV

Finally it was lunch break now, I arranged my stuff Into my bag and placed other documents properly on my desk, while I waited for Dammy's driver to arrive.

Once I saw a text from Dammy, indicating his driver was at Gems place, I stood up almost immediately. I had told him his driver should pick me up at Gems place. It was closer to Kenzie Tech. I didn't know why I just didn't tell him to drive here instead.

But anyways, it was much better this way. To afford my co workers spilling gibberish out of their mouths.

It took me three minutes to walk to Gems place before getting into the car and the driver drove off.

I relaxed properly on the seat but I was suddenly not feeling myself anymore. I just don't know what's wrong with me. I was suddenly started feeling so weak and dizzy.

Was it because I had walked a few minutes? But, that shouldn't cause a thing. I've walked more than such minutes a lot of times and I can't remember being sick or something.

I tried to calm myself down when the driver pulled into the parking lot and pulled the car door open for me to step out.

I could see Dammy standing at the entrance of the restaurant, neatly tucked in a blue suit this time. His hair neatly combed to the sides and the smile on his face made him even more handsome.

I managed to calm myself before walking towards where he stood, waiting for me to get closer to him.

" You look even more beautiful dressed in office attire." He complimented the moment I got closer to him. I didn't know when a smile crept into my face. I love how he flatters me, always.

"Thank you. You aren't looking bad either." I replied back to him while he smiled broadly. I guess he loves being complimented too.

" Alright then, let's head inside. Our meals have been served since I knew you wouldn't have so much time to spend due to your work."

He explained and I felt so happy. The guy was just so understanding and caring. He was definitely every lady's dream man.

I mean, who wouldn't love such a man that knows what you want without you blurting it out? Well, I do if you don't…

He held on to my hand and led me to our table. I'm glad it was Gina's chops. I've already fallen in love with their sumptuous meals and would want more of it, always.

He pulled out a seat for me and I sat down muttering my thanks as usual before having his.

" So, there are a lot of meals to choose from, Tara. Dig into it, there isn't enough time for us to chit chat." He said and I could see he really wanted us to spend a longer time tomorrow but that's definitely not possible today.

" Alright, Dammy." I smiled at him as I salivated by merely staring at the grilled turkey, sandwich, white rice, meatballs and more.

Wow, I'm definitely having a taste of that grilled turkey first. It looks so enticing in my eyes already.

I reached for it and began devouring it. Trying hard not to be too fast and act like a clown. Like I had guessed, it was so delicious.

After a while, I suddenly felt nauseous and felt like I needed to throw up if nothing was to be done. I didn't know where the bathroom was and I couldn't bring myself to open my mouth to speak.

I decided to start describing with my hands. Dammy didn't understand what's going on but he understood what I was asking and quickly directed me to the washroom.

I hurriedly made my way in there and throw up till there was nothing left in my stomach. I rinsed my mouth, splashed water on my face and tried strolling out when that dizziness hit me one more time.

I couldn't keep my footing as I ended up falling to the ground and darkness overwhelmed me, so I passed out.

~~~~

I woke up, surprised to find myself on a bed. I stared around the white room, the beeping devices and I knew I was in a hospital. But, what I'm I doing here? Wasn't I having lunch with Dammy earlier?

I was still trying to remember when I saw Dammy strode inside the room. The look on his face was something I've never seen before. His eyes were cold and his jawline clenched In a frown.

I tried asking him what had happened but I just couldn't bring myself to say a word. My throat felt so dry.

" So, you work at Kenzie Tech, huh?" I finally heard him say beside me after what seemed like forever of him glaring hard at me. How did he find out I work at Kenzie Tech?

Since I couldn't say a word, I nodded my head instead.

I heard him let out a dry chuckle. It was obvious something was wrong but, what's that?

" Wow, I just can't believe all of this is happening to me." He mumbled to himself but I heard him perfectly well.

" Anyways, you passed out at the restaurant. I've settled all of the hospital bills and you can go meet up with the doctor at his office. I'll be taking my leave now." He uttered and this made me more anxious to know what's going on. Something was wrong and I needed to find out.

He didn't hold on for another second as he stormed out of the room. I sighed heavily, feeling so anxious. I got down from the bed and thankfully, there's no syringe needle in my hand. I hurried out of the room and headed to where I was shown by a nurse as the doctor's office.

I strode inside but he wasn't in and I had to wait.

" A big congratulations to you, Miss Donna." The doctor's voice suddenly rang out from behind me as he made his way inside his office with a white envelope in his hands.

" Congratulations for what doctor?" I asked, giving him a quizzical look. I obviously don't get why the doctor would tell me congratulations.

The doctor gave me a smile, " That's because you're pregnant, Miss Donna." The doctor repeated himself again in a more clearer way.

I wished I had heard him wrong. This was definitely one of my worst nightmares! How could I be pregnant by my boss?
