He Doesn’t Know I Had His Child, And Now He’s My Boss CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO
MELISSA POVShe gasps after saying that. I reach for her hand across the table and squeeze it gently.“Easy, girl.”She briefly looks up at me and leans back in her seat.I reach for one of the new drinks the waiter has just brought and stretch my hand towards her.“Take this. It’s the new one we just ordered.”She sits up and collects it, but she doesn’t drink it immediately. I look at her and gently shake my head.“Let’s go, girl,” I say.She takes a sip and nods. “Nice.”I pretend to take a sip of my own drink and shake my head. “I’m loving this.”Lucy raises her thumb. “Same here, girl.”I wait for a while before bringing up any more discussion. I notice that she has almost finished the drink in her glass.She’s getting too tipsy now, almost drifting off, but still conscious enough to talk. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for.“So, what were you saying about Nora?” I ask calmly.She looks at me and takes another sip.“It’s something she told me a long time ago. I never though

MELISSA POVThree days have passed since my evening with Lucy was interrupted by the phone call about Mai. I checked on her afterwards, and she told me Mai had malaria and had been taken to the hospital. We have spoken briefly since then, and she has kept me updated on Mai's recovery.I am glad Mai is doing better, but I cannot help thinking about how the evening ended. Everything had been going as I expected, and I was waiting for the right moment to bring up what Nora had told Lucy about Mai's father. If not for that phone call, I might have had the chance to get the answer I wanted from Lucy that evening.I cannot keep waiting for another opportunity to come on its own. I decide to give it another try and arrange another drinks date with Lucy. But this time, I need to be more careful with how I approach the subject so she won't become suspicious of my intentions.A few days later, I discuss another drinks date with Lucy. She happily accepts and picks the date and time we should me

DAVIS POVI keep my eyes on Anthony, waiting for him to explain what he means.“What makes you think it's not a coincidence?”He takes a moment before answering.“I'm not saying I know anything, Davis. I just noticed something when I saw her with Nora the other day. Her eyes reminded me of yours.”I let out a quiet breath.“Anthony, you're reading too much into it. She's a little girl, and there are only so many ways a person's eyes can look.”He shakes his head.“I'm only telling you what I noticed. I wouldn't have brought it up if it hadn't caught my attention.”I look towards Mai again. She's still playing with her toys, completely unaware of our conversation.I have never looked at her and thought there was anything unusual about her appearance. She's Nora's daughter, and Nora has always been clear about her past. She told me Mai's father is dead. I don't remember ever meeting Nora before she joined Rowan & Co., so I have never had a reason to think there could be any connection b

DAVIS POVBy evening, Mai has spent most of her time playing and resting in the living room. She looks much better than she did when we brought her home from the hospital, and I’m glad to see her getting her energy back. Nora comes downstairs after preparing her things for the night.“Mai, it's time to go to bed.”Mai looks at her, then turns towards me.“Uncle, are you going to sleep too?”I smile. “Yes, little one. It's getting late.”She reaches for Nora's hand, and Nora takes it.“Come on, sweetheart. Let's go upstairs.”Mai waves at me as Nora leads her towards the staircase.“Goodnight, Uncle.”“Goodnight, Mai. Sleep well.”“I will.”I watch them until they disappear upstairs before returning to what I'm doing.After a while, I go upstairs to my bedroom and get ready to sleep.The following morning, I wake up earlier than usual and take my shower. Since it’s the weekend, I wear shorts and a casual shirt before heading downstairs. I find Mai already in the living room.She's sit

DAVIS POVI don't push Nora for more answers after she tells me she's fine. Instead, I carry Mai further into the living room and gently place her on the couch.“Make yourself comfortable, little one.”She adjusts her position and looks around the room.I turn towards Nora, who is still standing near the entrance with Mai's bag.“You can prepare something for her to eat and get her medication ready. She needs to eat before taking it.”“Alright,” she answers.I watch her walk towards the kitchen before turning my attention back to Mai.“Are you hungry?”She nods. “A little.”“Then we'll get you something to eat.”I sit beside her, making sure she's comfortable. She leans slightly against me, and I help her adjust the pillow behind her.I watch her quietly for some moments. She's still not completely back to her usual self, but seeing her looking better than she did when I first saw her at the hospital makes me feel relieved.I look towards the dining area. Nora is there, waiting for th

DAVIS POVTwo days have passed since Mai started her treatment, and she's looking much better now. Her fever has gone down, and she no longer complains about her headache as often as she did when she was first brought to the hospital.I've continued handling my work during these two days, but I've also made time to visit the hospital and check on Nora and Mai. Nora has barely left Mai's side. Even when she rests, I can still see the worry on her face.The doctor comes in later that morning to check on Mai. Nora moves closer to the bed while I remain beside her, watching as he examines her and listening as he asks a few questions about how she's feeling.Mai answers him quietly, saying her head doesn't hurt as much as it did before.The doctor checks her temperature and reviews her treatment before telling us that she's responding well. He explains that she's improved enough to continue her recovery at home, but she still needs to get enough rest and complete her medication.Nora asks
