2: She's pregnant, not invalid
publish date:
2020-09-25 22:52:25Someone was taking money from the Forrest Company. It has to be a shareholder, otherwise, how did they get so much information on the company?
A light tod on my desk made me snap my head up. Tanya, the lady that works with me at my store was looking at me with a raised brow. She's like a second manager here after me. I won't really call her my assistant but she does a great job when I'm not around.
"Earth to Jaycee" she took the seat opposite me, placed a bottle of punch in front of me and I muttered a thanks.
"How are you doing Tan?" I asked the brunette. She nodded.
"The baby?"
"Fine"...she rubbed her tummy aggressively and I wanted to laugh. Tanya Is five months pregnant but still does a great job around here.
"We got a call from CO Pets and stores. They got more animals for us" she said. Her eyes were dim lighted meaning she hasn't had much sleep in a while. Am I a bad person for letting her work with her condition?
"Hmm..when are they delivering?" I asked. My eyes still focused on her.
"Probably Monday" she said and then gave a light yawn. That's it!.
"Tan I think you should take a break"
Her eyes lit up for a while but it all watered down. "Who would help you around here?"
"I'll be just fine. Besides Betty is doing great" Betty is a worker here too. By the way, there isn't much to do besides making sure Co and Let delivers well and on time.
"No. I'll stay. I need this job" she got up to walk out.
"I'm not firing you. Just giving you a break"
The door to my office flung open and Chloe busted in. She had on this hairy coat giving the feel of Taylor Swift.
"We'll talk later" I said to Tanya and she nodded before walking out.
"Haven't you heard of knocking?" I asked Chloe the moment her butt touched the seat.
"Haven't you heard of locking doors?"
It's an office, not my inner bedroom.
I rolled my eyes at her and she chuckled. She was preparing for her leave to Paris for her fashion show. I'm not sure I'll be there and I have a feeling that's what she came to talk about. I crossed my arm on the table.
"I'm traveling tomorrow for the show on Saturday" Chloe announced. Her booted feet flew to my desk and I sighed. That's more like Chloe. Wearing furs and leather pants wasn't all for her.
"Well, safe trip" I shrug, expecting a reaction from her and I was sure to get one, cause her mouth hung opened.
"No way your saying that shit" she sat upright snapping her fingers at me.
"Your coming to the show Saturday night""Chloe..."
"Don't butter me up" she blocked both ears with her fingers like a child and I wanted to laugh. God! She's twenty five.
"Look, I'm not sure I'll have enough time" I folded my arms while Chloe snorted.
"Let the bumpy lady run things for a while" Chloe shrugged and I chuckled.
"She's pregnant Chloe and no. I can't stress her"
Chloe shook her head at me before getting up. She rounded the table and sat in front of me.
"She's pregnant not invalid" with that, she hit the button on my desk for calling Tanya into my office.
"Chloe!" I gasped. She really wasn't doing this.
"Stop acting sweet and calm" Chloe scolded while I rolled my eyes. How did I know her again?..oh yeah. We've been friends since college. Tanya came into my office with a disturbed look on her face. A pang of guilt shot through me. Chloe....your dead.
"Mrs Forrest has something to tell you" Chloe said to Tanya who was now rubbing her tummy, much more aggressive than before.
"What's that?"
"Go on Jay" Chloe urged. I gave her the middle finger and she chuckled.
"Um...I'll be going to Paris for a couple of days. I need you to handle things around here, would you?" I made sure I talked gently and calmly as ever.
"Of course. Do what you have to do" Tanya said with a little smile plastered on her face. I tapped her hand as she left the office for the second time today.
"That wasn't bad" Chloe said and I shot her a glare. "What?"
"I can't even book tickets till Sunday" I groaned out loud.
"Who said anything about ticket" Chloe smirked and I shook my head vigorously. I knew what she was aiming at.
"No"
"Yes"
"No!" I half yelled
"Jay. He's your husband. Who needs a ticket when he can fly you there in his private jet. Be a wife!" She said the last part like a scold and I wanted to nag her eyes out. She doesn't understand. Damien is going through a lot right now. I know using his private jet won't be a problem but still, I don't want to add up any stress.
"He's busy"
"Same crap evey day" Chloe snorted. She sat down for the thousandth time since she came here today.
"Someone is stealing shares from him" I announced and Chloes head snapped to me.
"Really?"
Good. Now she sees my point.
"Yeah"
"Doesn't affect his jet" she shrugged and I groaned out loud. She wasn't listening. "If you can't talk to him. I will"
No! In hell. NEVER!
"No. I'll talk to him" I finally said and she air fisted making me chortle. Child. More like a married child.
"Good. Now talk to that nigga and get your ass in Paris by weekend. If possible, drag him along"
What!
"Chloe...."
"Blah blah..." with that she was out the door. I sighed to myself. Pain in the ass. More like head. Her talks are traumatizing. Now all I have to do is talk to Damien and hope he agrees to lend me his jet to Paris or come with me.

Way To Forever 37: Cramp the games
The sun was already going down and I've given Damien many kisses than I can count. We didn't only golf but barbecued. Rose came over and helped us with steaks. We found a shady spot with a wooden table and trunks like stools round the table. It looked man-made though but it was pretty."Thanks for the steaks, Rose"Rose smiled at me and nodded before going back to the grill. Everyone was much too hungry after the games to even talk. Chloe of all people was stuffing her face with potatoes and steak at the same time."We should do this every weekday Dammy" Elle said. I cringed at the name she called him because once upon a time, Bethany had called him that and it annoyed the hell out of me. Still annoys me."Are you planing to stay here much longer?" Damien frowned and I hit his leg under the table. He stared at me and I mouthed be nice. He rolled his eyes at me and dug his fork into his steak.
Way To Forever 36: Let's golf it up
Danielle hit the ball so hard, we couldn't find where it flew to. It's a warm Wednesday and we're both playing golf and bonding over food and makeup."Do you think it ran into the trees?" Elle asked. She bent down and picked another golf ball."Guess so"I placed my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. Elle had told me to take a cap with him but I'd blantanly refused. I thought it'd be weird wearing a summer dress, tennis shoes and a cap. Oh and let me not fail to mention that I'm pregnant. Now I see she had a point."Do you hear that?" I asked Elle.There was a humming sound coming toward us. Like a truck but it didn't have that rugged sound. Elle dropped her ball down next to a hole and gave it a tiny tud. The ball rolled slowly along the well trimmed grass until it entered into the hole.I clapped my hands as Elle jumped up and down. That's her first win today.
Way To Forever 35: Bonding with Danielle
Coming to the house Damien bought for us over a month ago again felt like coming into a totally different place. The place was transformed and looked pretty. Fortunately for me, Damien didn't change anything about the interior of the sitting room because I'd loved the modern yet vintage setting.And of course, I didn't fail to notice the double security Damien put up. Since the house was by the water side, I think he has this idea that I might be kidnapped again by water and all that shit. I don't even know all the crazy stuffs that go through that guys head. He thinks I'm a baby that need pampering!"Would you like a feet massage before Mr Forrest get back from work?" The plump lady in front of me asked. She's not Rose. This house has more maids than I could ever imagine. So Rose is like the head of them all. AND NO!....."I don't need a foot massage!" I state with a loud and clear voice, hoping sh
Way To Forever 34: It's all her
The moment we stepped back into the ballroom, Bethany's eyes zeroed on me and I gave her a little, tight smirk. She rolled her eyes and looked away. Haha sucker! Damien pulled out my seat and then excused himself. I was left with Bethany and some others at the table.I wish I had brought my phone so I didn't have to stare at her stupid face all the time. I dragged my hands over my tummy as the blonde by my side smiled at me. I smiled at her. She wasn't here before so I guess she just arrived."Hello. I guess your here with Damien" she said and I nodded."He's my husband" I smiled and she chuckled."Why, it's nice to meet you" her voice sounded English. Her thick accent also complimented her tight blonde bun and black Versache gown. I bet she has a black or silver sandal to go with it. Her eyes were also masked with thick mascara and smoky eyes. She's pretty and I'll hate to think she was one of Da
Way To Forever 33: All that matters
As I sat in the Limo, I tried not to remember the last time I and Damien were together in this same Limo. I had gone over myself that night.Damien squeezed my hands and I stared up at him. There's no telling what would transpire at this event. We might meet Alberto and we might not meet him. We might find out that he was the one who sent those kidnappers and we might learn that he's not the one. And even if he told us what we needed to know, how would we know that he was telling the truth??."Just remember to smile always and if you feel nauseous or sick at any moment, just tell me and I'd get you out of there" Damien went over the note of the night."Alright. You've told me that like seventy times now" I sighed and he chuckled.."I just want you to be happy and safe at the same time."The Limo came to a stop and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. This wasn't one of chloes fa
Way To Forever 32: A charity ball
I woke up with movement above me. I opened one eye slowly so I don't go blind from the brightness of the room. Damien smiled when he saw I was awake."Good morning, beautiful" he hummed and then planted a kiss to my lips. "I made you breakfast""Hmm...I like the sound of that" I grinned."Sure you do. Come" he took my hand and helped me seat up. I relax against the head board and he fetched a tray of what smelled like chocolate chilli tart. There was a rose by the side ."Damien. You're incredible" I brushed my nose against his. "I love you""I love you. Now eat before I loose my patience" he smirked."Pervert!" I called out and he shrugged. I found myself digging into the tarte and boy, was it good. Yes it was. I dipped my finger into the Marple syrup by the side and stuck it in front of Damien."Have a syrup" I teased."Are you kidding m
