Horrid call

Nicole's pov.

"Are you sure ma'am?" The man asked me and right before I could respond, Zane interrupted.

"Of course, we'll discuss this with other executives" He replied, his eyes stuck on me.

"Alright then. I'll quickly have the money transfered to the company's account...".

I rolled my eyes at Zane and took the bottle of water before me. I uncapped it and briefly drank from it before keeping it down. I looked down back to rubbing my fingers and the next time I ever paid attention to them was when the meeting was declared over. Great!

"Really, Nicole?? Do you value your life at all? Why would you speak when your opinion wasn't needed" Zane scolded as we went back to the car

"I'm hungry. Let's eat first and then, I'll tell you why I opened my big mouth" I stated and he scoffed.

"Your mouth is not big at all" He chipped in and I sighed going into the car without his help.

"I just want to eat something oily and at the same time light. Probably, chicken wings. Let's go to my favorite restaurant, shall we?" I said mimicking his usual words 'shall we?'

"Yeah, sure. Let's just eat and forget that you almost made the company loose three million" He sarcastically agreed before shutting the door ruefully.

I snickered hiding my lips with my hands. It's been a while since I saw Zane all mad and furious. He's always pretending he was happy whenever he's annoyed but seems like he can't control this case.

In no time, he had gotten into the driver's seat and revised the car fervently leaving the surrounding.

"So, what are you planning on investing with this month's salary?" I asked looking out the window.

"Investing?? Why the heck would I want to invest with my pay?" He asked gazing through the rare view mirror.

"Come on, Zane. Don't tell me you don't want to own multinational companies like my husband. I thought you would be working towards it by now" I replied and he shook his head negatively.

"I don't think that's what I need right now. I'm gonna be loyal to my boss till I get a family of my own. You see?" He smirked.

"Yeah, a family you're gonna neglect for business trips and meetings. I don't know what's wrong with some men. They never have enough" I muttered under my breath.

After a long silence, I looked up to discover we were now In front of a beautiful restaurant.

"We can't spend too much time here. I need to get you home, alright?" He said removing his seatbelt while I ignored him.

I was back at my lonely house. A bit tired but happy with how the day went by so quickly. Soon, I'll be through with this task.

The task of being all alone with nothing to do. Soon, it'll just be me and my child keeping each other company. Damon can go to Mars for all I care.

I bid Zane off as he started the car. I knew he would wait till I enter the house but I still stood there just to piss him off a bit.

He frowned at me and I sighed giving up on my aim. I turned around and scuttled into the house.

The nanny was still around and was cleaning up the house when I walked past.

I have two things to do right now, eat more and sleep but I have to remove this huge dress at once. I was about to get on the stairs when I heard a car horning outside.

That must be Zane!

I hurried back to the door and met up with him.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.

He cleared his throat and put his two hands at his back.

"Go to bed on time and have everything in your room arranged. I have a feeling your husband will be back tomorrow" He replied and I breathed out.

"Really? Thanks for informing me, bye" I said again and he waited till I shut the door before leaving.

Now I have to walk through here again???

He should have just called.

It's not like I should fear Damon because he's coming over.

The maid was holding her bag and I guessed she was done cleaning.

"I'm done, ma'am. I'll have to leave now" She said and I sighed tiredly.

"Can't you stay a little longer?..." I muttered and she released a light smile.

"I wish I can but I have to pick the kids from school. I'm really sorry" She replied pitifully.

"It's alright. I'll see you tomorrow" I bid and she thanked me before heading to the door.

I left for the stairs slowly.

I woke up from a short nap upon hearing the sound of my phone began ringing loudly. I sluggishly looked into it and saw Damon at the caller ID.

Here comes trouble.

I picked the call after a brief hesitation and his voice came up.

"Nicole, pick out a good outfit because immediately I come back tomorrow, we are both going to see the doctor and you'll be in big trouble if you're not eating right. Sleep well and goodnight" He said in one breath and my jaw dropped.

"Whatever. Till tomorrow" I replied and tried hanging up but he was fast to disconnect right before I could.

Huff! I need to improve my hanging up skills. He keeps beating me to it every time.
