Viggo and Karina walked towards the meeting room located on the third floor of the Deverell Apparel office building. They entered the meeting room together and took their respective seats.Several managers from other divisions also arrived, including the marketing manager who came with Lucas.Karina furrowed her brow upon seeing Lucas there, and their gazes finally met."Oh, hello, Ms. Karina," greeted Lucas to Karina.Upon hearing Karina being greeted, Viggo also turned and looked at Lucas, who appeared to be smiling warmly upon seeing Karina in front of him."Are you attending this meeting? I thought Mr. Steven would come with Mr. Brody," said Karina, looking confused.Steven, who was standing next to her, smiled. "Mr. Brody couldn't make it today because his wife gave birth. So Lucas is replacing him. He's doing a great job. It seems that if I get promoted, Lucas will become the assistant manager," said Steven."Oh, I see. Please give my congratulations to Mr. Brody," replied Karin

Karina's 12 week pregnancy examination was conducted at a different hospital than her first one. This time, Karina was accompanied by Viggo, the father of her unborn child.Although Karina refused to accept the fact that Viggo was the father of her baby, the blood in the baby's veins was the same blood that flowed through Viggo's body. Therefore, Karina couldn't deny the fact of their kinship.Karina even remembered clearly the saying that blood is thicker than water. "Why do I feel so nervous like this?" Karina murmured in her heart, occasionally clasping her hands together.Viggo, who was driving, realized that Karina was feeling restless being with him. He could sense it with his Alpha instinct. "Are you nervous?" Viggo asked without turning his gaze towards Karina.Karina turned towards Viggo and tried to cover it up, but it was futile as her voice trembled when she answered Viggo's question."No," Karina replied with a trembling voice.Viggo glanced at Karina but remained focused

"Selena, I'm leaving now!" Karina shouted with a mouthful of toast as she ran towards the door.Seeing Karina running like that, Selena immediately panicked and shouted, "Hey, don't run like that! You're pregnant, you know!" she yelled.Karina just laughed and waved her hand before exiting the apartment.As she reached the elevator, she bumped into Xavier, who happened to be leaving for work as well."Well, Karina, it looks like you're also heading to work?" Xavier greeted.Karina nodded her head and took a bite of her toast. "Yes, I'm actually running a little late. But hopefully, I'll make it on time," Karina replied."Shall I give you a ride to the office? I happen to have a meeting at one of the restaurants near Deverell Apparel building," Xavier offered.Karina thought for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement to his offer. "Sure, that would be great. I owe you one today," Karina replied after briefly considering the offer.The elevator door opened, and Xavier and Karina en

Viggo rushedly carried the unconscious Karina to the health room. His usually flat expression now showed his worry.Viggo's mind felt empty, and all he cared about now was Karina's condition and what had happened to her. Even the company hall was in chaos because of Karina's fainting incident.News about Karina being unmarried and pregnant had spread to various divisions, including Hank and Nolan, who now knew about the news. People started openly discussing Karina.Meanwhile, Viggo, who had arrived in the office health area, entered and knocked on the door, startling a nurse who was on duty in the health section."Are you a nurse here?" Viggo asked, gasping for breath as he had been running with the unconscious Karina to the second floor, where the office health room was located.The nurse on duty in the Deverell Apparel office health room immediately got up from her position and approached Viggo, running a little."Yes, I am a nurse here. What's wrong with her?" the confused nurse a

Karina and Viggo left the office area and headed to one of the cafés near the Deverell Apparel building. They both sat in a chair near the window.Right in front of them were two glasses of chocolate ice with whipped cream toppings and sprinkled with chocolate powder. They both remained silent and didn't know where to start.Karina's mind was in turmoil. She still couldn't believe that the man in front of her, the father of her child, was a wealthy man as Sophia had suspected.Viggo's appearance, including his handsome face with thick eyebrows and a sharp jawline, as well as his branded watch that clearly wasn't a fake, proved that he was not just an ordinary man."Damn, how could I end up sleeping with a man like this? Am I lucky or unlucky?" Karina muttered in her mind as she stirred her drink in front of her and started sipping it slowly.As the chocolate drink touched Karina's tongue, her eyes widened in surprise because she didn't expect it to taste so good and become addictive t
