Skylar rose from the bed the next morning, sluggish and scared of going to the office. What if someone noticed her stomach? Will they know that she is pregnant? Oh God, Skylar,I don't think I'm doing this___ Skylar called to her reflection in the mirror as she took in her disheveled hair and big bag under her eyes. Just like always, her insomnia had come knocking at her door and she had spent the night thinking about her predicament.Skylar was about to call the office to tell them that she was sick and wouldn't be able to make it there today when her phone ringing tone filled the silence of the house. She rushed out of the bathroom to go pick it up, especially as she recognized the caller.“Hello, good morning,” Skylar called gently into the phone. She was careful of being aloof lest her worry show in her voice.“Hello, Miss Evans. I will request that you be in the office early today as you need to attend a business meeting with me thi

As soon as Skylar stepped into The Thompson’s Art Centre the next morning, she knew all was not well. Being greeted by Cynthia’s hard glare as she gossiped with two young ladies who Skylar recognized as they both work in the legal department. She walked closer to greet Cynthia while plastering a smile on her face” Hi! Cynthia, how are you? Good morning” Skylar said as she rested upon the table while turning to smile at the two ladies who moved away from her like she was some sort of pest with a contagious disease. “ So as I was saying. Can you believe her? Who would ever think she was sleeping with the boss. It's no wonder she got the job. I've wondered how she managed to get the boss to accept her. I mean she didn't even qualify and the boss was so tired that night and sad that he couldn't find a worthy

Paula turned to Skylar as soon as Gian had driven off leaving the two of them standing by her car. She folded her hands on her chest and turned to glare at her. “ Now tell me everything. What's complicated in your relationship with him, that you can't tell him you're not interested” Paula asked Skylar as she walked around to her white Benz, getting into the driver's side while she waited for Skylar to make herself comfortable beside her. “ I never told him that I wanted to date him. Hell, I didn't even accept to date him. He just assumes and acts on that. Everything seems like a dream to me. One minute, Gian is on the floor kneeling and pleading with me to date him and another, I'm being bundled off into the car to God's knows where” Skylar laments as she puts her head in between her hands in shock. she couldn

 Elise watched as Skylar stood up from the room as she rushed off in the direction of the toilet, a gasp escaping her lips as she tried to know what was wrong with her. Hope this wasn't her imagination or could Skylar be pregnant? No, she couldn't possibly be pregnant with Gian's child, that was too early and if it isn't Gian then Vi___ No, that can't be. Vino couldn't do that to her. He knows how much she is in love with him. She has been hoping that one day they will be together only for this to happen. Elise stood up from the dining and excused herself to go to her room. Her mind was in turmoil trying to know what was wrong with Skylar. She wanted to creep down there and ask her what was wrong with her or was it something with the food? No, this is a normal delicacy they are all used to, not the local one.

Skylar walked down to the breakfast table, a feeling of dread enveloped her as she dreaded seeing Vino’s face this morning. With the way she had rejected him last night, she doubts he wouldn't be on the next plane back to New York right now. And even if he does that, she wouldn't blame him. “I mean, who would stay after all the embarrassment she had given him,” Skylar thought to herself as she made her way down to the lobby." Good morning, Miss Evans" The receptionist, a young girl in her early thirties, greeted Skylar as she stepped down from the stairs into the lobby " Sleep well?" She continued as she smiled at Skylar before bending down to search for something under her desk." Yes, thank you. Hawaii is such a beautiful place that I couldn't help sleeping soundly" Skylar replied in a
