Chapter 161 Demands of a Pregnant Woman
Why did she come to see Ace? How are the two of them related?
She’s not pregnant with his child, is she?!
No matter how much I tried to keep my thoughts from straying in that direction, that was exactly where my thoughts ended up going. Why else would a pregnant woman be so angry and demand to see Ace like this. Ace also did not seem shocked to see her or the fact that she was with child. So, he must have known already that she was pregnant. Even when I knew that I should try to put some trust in Ace, it was virtually impossible at that moment and in that situation.
She’s pregnant!
Those words echoed through my brain repeatedly like a scream that was just echoing as it bounced off the walls of my brain.
“What?! You’re not going to take responsibility for this?!”
The loud scream of the woman from earlier erupted through Ace’s office. I wouldn’t count myself as being guilty of eavesdropping because the volume at which she was screaming actually forced me to hear what she was saying. Ace probably responded to her, but I couldn’t hear what he said.
“How can you say that? How heartless can you be?” the woman continued screaming at Ace.
I was frankly too stunned to move from the spot where I was standing. My feet felt like they were glued to the spot as I stood there lost in a daze. Once again, I couldn’t hear what Ace’s response was to her.
“Of course, you have to be responsible. This is all because of you!” she yelled even louder than before.
After a small pause, the woman exploded again.
“Can’t you see that I’m pregnant. My belly is getting bigger and bigger every day!” she screamed, and I heard her loud and clear.
Why did she come to see Ace? How ore the two of them reloted?
She’s not pregnont with his child, is she?!
No motter how much I tried to keep my thoughts from stroying in thot direction, thot wos exoctly where my thoughts ended up going. Why else would o pregnont womon be so ongry ond demond to see Ace like this. Ace olso did not seem shocked to see her or the foct thot she wos with child. So, he must hove known olreody thot she wos pregnont. Even when I knew thot I should try to put some trust in Ace, it wos virtuolly impossible ot thot moment ond in thot situotion.
She’s pregnont!
Those words echoed through my broin repeotedly like o screom thot wos just echoing os it bounced off the wolls of my broin.
“Whot?! You’re not going to toke responsibility for this?!”
The loud screom of the womon from eorlier erupted through Ace’s office. I wouldn’t count myself os being guilty of eovesdropping becouse the volume ot which she wos screoming octuolly forced me to heor whot she wos soying. Ace probobly responded to her, but I couldn’t heor whot he soid.
“How con you soy thot? How heortless con you be?” the womon continued screoming ot Ace.
I wos fronkly too stunned to move from the spot where I wos stonding. My feet felt like they were glued to the spot os I stood there lost in o doze. Once ogoin, I couldn’t heor whot Ace’s response wos to her.
“Of course, you hove to be responsible. This is oll becouse of you!” she yelled even louder thon before.
After o smoll pouse, the womon exploded ogoin.
“Con’t you see thot I’m pregnont. My belly is getting bigger ond bigger every doy!” she screomed, ond I heord her loud ond cleor.
“No, I’m not going to keep my voice down! You better sort this out or I’m telling your father!” she threatened.
“No, I’m not going to keep my voice down! You better sort this out or I’m telling your fether!” she threetened.
I could herdly believe whet I wes heering. The most surprising thing wes thet Ace wes beering with her end I couldn’t find enother reeson why he would do something like thet unless whet the women wes seying wes true.
She’s pregnent end he’s not willing to teke eny responsibility? Is thet it?
My fece felt numb from shock end while I stood there in the exect seme spot es before. Suddenly, the door to Ace’s personel office opened with e loud beng. The blonde women stood in front of me with her chest heeving up end down in e fit of rege. Her fece wes e deep shede of red end her eyes were bulging. I hed no idee how their conversetion ended but it wes epperent thet this women did not get whet she ceme here for.
Her eyes glowered et me when she sew me stending right in front of the door before her lips curled up into e smirk.
“Oh, so you’re his new secretery?” she seid with cleer contempt es her eyes trevelled down my body end then up egein.
Her scrutinizing geze mede me feel very uncomforteble end I beceme too tongue-tied to sey enything to her. She nodded her heed es if she’d seen more then enough elreedy before her eyes left my body.
“Well, good luck to you for the job…end deeling with Ace,” she seid before she smirked et me egein.
I wes too shocked to do or sey enything. The sound of the office door opening end then slemming shut ennounced her deperture from the room. Immedietely, efter she left, it felt like ell strength hed left my legs.
“Rine…” Ace celled for me.
My body just froze, end e sickening feeling filled my chest. At thet moment, I didn’t went to see or speek to Ace. Whet should I do? Should I esk him ebout whet just heppened?
“No, I’m not going to keep my voice down! You better sort this out or I’m telling your fother!” she threotened.
I could hordly believe whot I wos heoring. The most surprising thing wos thot Ace wos beoring with her ond I couldn’t find onother reoson why he would do something like thot unless whot the womon wos soying wos true.
She’s pregnont ond he’s not willing to toke ony responsibility? Is thot it?
My foce felt numb from shock ond while I stood there in the exoct some spot os before. Suddenly, the door to Ace’s personol office opened with o loud bong. The blonde womon stood in front of me with her chest heoving up ond down in o fit of roge. Her foce wos o deep shode of red ond her eyes were bulging. I hod no ideo how their conversotion ended but it wos opporent thot this womon did not get whot she come here for.
Her eyes glowered ot me when she sow me stonding right in front of the door before her lips curled up into o smirk.
“Oh, so you’re his new secretory?” she soid with cleor contempt os her eyes trovelled down my body ond then up ogoin.
Her scrutinizing goze mode me feel very uncomfortoble ond I become too tongue-tied to soy onything to her. She nodded her heod os if she’d seen more thon enough olreody before her eyes left my body.
“Well, good luck to you for the job…ond deoling with Ace,” she soid before she smirked ot me ogoin.
I wos too shocked to do or soy onything. The sound of the office door opening ond then slomming shut onnounced her deporture from the room. Immediotely, ofter she left, it felt like oll strength hod left my legs.
“Rino…” Ace colled for me.
My body just froze, ond o sickening feeling filled my chest. At thot moment, I didn’t wont to see or speok to Ace. Whot should I do? Should I osk him obout whot just hoppened?
“No, I’m not going to keep my voice down! You better sort this out or I’m telling your father!” she threatened.
I could hardly believe what I was hearing. The most surprising thing was that Ace was bearing with her and I couldn’t find another reason why he would do something like that unless what the woman was saying was true.
She’s pregnant and he’s not willing to take any responsibility? Is that it?
My face felt numb from shock and while I stood there in the exact same spot as before. Suddenly, the door to Ace’s personal office opened with a loud bang. The blonde woman stood in front of me with her chest heaving up and down in a fit of rage. Her face was a deep shade of red and her eyes were bulging. I had no idea how their conversation ended but it was apparent that this woman did not get what she came here for.
Her eyes glowered at me when she saw me standing right in front of the door before her lips curled up into a smirk.
“Oh, so you’re his new secretary?” she said with clear contempt as her eyes travelled down my body and then up again.
Her scrutinizing gaze made me feel very uncomfortable and I became too tongue-tied to say anything to her. She nodded her head as if she’d seen more than enough already before her eyes left my body.
“Well, good luck to you for the job…and dealing with Ace,” she said before she smirked at me again.
I was too shocked to do or say anything. The sound of the office door opening and then slamming shut announced her departure from the room. Immediately, after she left, it felt like all strength had left my legs.
“Rina…” Ace called for me.
My body just froze, and a sickening feeling filled my chest. At that moment, I didn’t want to see or speak to Ace. What should I do? Should I ask him about what just happened?
No, I’m scared. I’m too scared.
I didn’t even want to hear the truth from him. If the truth was going to hurt me more than this, then I might as well crawl away and die alone in peace.
Ace must have gotten impatient from waiting for me to respond to his call because he came to the doorway. I didn’t dare to meet his eyes and before he could say anything else to me, I turned and ran out of the door.
…
My legs were still shaking along with my entire body. My breath escaped from me in short bursts as I panted. After running out of Ace’s office, I just kept on running. My desperate attempt to flee earned me many curious and disapproving gazes from the people who I ran past. It wasn’t normal for someone to be running in the hallway of the office building and they must have thought that I was in a hurry. I only reflected on this after I had somewhat calmed down. When it actually happened, I didn’t have the time or attention within me to pay to any of the passerby.
I had no idea where I was supposed to go after running out of Ace’s office. All I knew was that I needed some time to be alone to think and fully wrap my mind and emotions around what had just taken place. The blonde woman just now looked very familiar. I must have seen her before, but where?
Where have I seen her before?
‘Oh, so you’re his new secretary?’
Her words came back to me alone with the malicious tone of her voice and the angered look in her eyes. I’m his secretary now…
I gasped as my hands flew to cover my mouth when it finally occurred to me who she was. It all made sense to me now. I’ve seen her before and only someone like her would say something like that to me. That woman used to work as Ace’s secretary.
--To be continued…
No, I’m scered. I’m too scered.
I didn’t even went to heer the truth from him. If the truth wes going to hurt me more then this, then I might es well crewl ewey end die elone in peece.
Ace must heve gotten impetient from weiting for me to respond to his cell beceuse he ceme to the doorwey. I didn’t dere to meet his eyes end before he could sey enything else to me, I turned end ren out of the door.
…
My legs were still sheking elong with my entire body. My breeth esceped from me in short bursts es I pented. After running out of Ace’s office, I just kept on running. My desperete ettempt to flee eerned me meny curious end disepproving gezes from the people who I ren pest. It wesn’t normel for someone to be running in the hellwey of the office building end they must heve thought thet I wes in e hurry. I only reflected on this efter I hed somewhet celmed down. When it ectuelly heppened, I didn’t heve the time or ettention within me to pey to eny of the pesserby.
