All Chapters of Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Father: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Charles."Do you know her?" Zelia asked, pointing at the door. "I mean, your new secretary." She added.I pressed my lips into a thin line, was there a chance that she found out about what had hapepned between me and Riley years ago? "She is my secretary as you said." I covered up.Nothing was a lie, Riley was my secretary, and nothing more, though I wouldn't say no if she was going to give me another chance to be in her life. "Well, I do know her and I think that she approached you for a reason."I raised my brows, in confusion of what had just came out of her mouth. "She was the best friend that I told you felt betrayed." Zelia quoted, her hand making a sign and this was the first time that I was seeing that side of her. She had told me about a girl that left her for some reasons but she didn't tell me that the girl was actually her college best friend."What do you mean, Angel?" I asked her.I had known Zelia more than things about myself. I had watched her grow, until I had to lea

Riley.Pleasing the Russian Minister seemed pretty impossible. At a point, I saw Mr. Charles wiping away the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead. "I like the plan, but how long do you think the business will last in Russia?" The minister questioned, his voice laced with the accent.I didn't imagined that he could speak english and needed a translator but he proved me wrong. There was no translator with him, just few of his aids and securities. The executives that promised to be here with Mr. Charles actually stood him up. None of them made it here, even called to lay out their excuse and it made me pity the man. He needed this contract to expand his business. "If everything works out well, with the promotions and ads, I assure you that it will last forever." Mr. Charles promised."Look at our branch here, and the headquaters in D.C. It generates millions per months and let's not even talk about the annual revenue." He bragged.Before I started working here, I didn't really run

Charles.The celebratory lunch ended just so bad, it went in different direction as I had wanted it. "I told you to be nice to her, Zelia." I groaned out.Zelia sagged down her shoulders, justifying her actions. "I can't be nice to her dad. She wants to get back at me? Because Noah chose me over her?" She laughed, dryly if I must add.I dropped my top suit on the couch, letting out a deep sigh. "That is not it." I breathed. "Even if Noah chose you over her, It wouldn't take you more than an hour to have been nice to her. See how she walked out of there, so hurt." I recalled.The haunting face of Riley when she left the private dining was eating me up, I had promised her that it was going to be all fine yet, this was what she got back. I saw the tears in her eyes, the betrayal showing clearly. "And honestly, even if Noah had chosen you, you should have least be soft to her, you won already. She is also a human and once your friend.""It doesn't kill to be human." I scolded. For the fir

Riley. It was the weekend, just saturday and I got to spend it with the kids. Charles had wanted to have a party today, for the signed contract between him and the Russians but due to the secrecy of it, it had to be shifted. "I need to complete the project in a month." He had said yesterday in his office. But me? I had laughed in my heart, wondeirng how he planned to pull that shit in just a short period of time. It wasn't going to be something easy, we all knew it yet he was making those plans that was going to end up deceiving him at the end of the day. "Mummy." Alex called out. They were fully dressed in a blue checkered shirt and a black short, the nanny didn't come today so it was on me to take them on their daily walk. They had always loved it, playing in the playground with the other kids around their age. It had always made me so happy seeing how they were getting accustomed with the new envirmonent. "We should go." He mumbled, rubbing his hands together. I nodded my hea

Riley.His eyes, they were on me as we walked up the tons of stairs. I felt it because he was behind me, even when he had taken a deep breath. Wearing something as flimsy as this? I had no idea what had conceirge me into wearing it.When the fuck would we get to the floor? I almost hissed as the another stairs came to view and I realized that I hadn't gotten to my floor. "Did you always ave to walk this much?" Charles asked behind me. It was clear that he was also tired.I shook my head no. "The elevator was out of service this evening, so it will take them a day or two as they said to get it back running." I pratically read the apartment WeChat conversation to him.I had to scold myself for giving out that much, a simple 'The elevator was out of service' would have been okay, "That sucks really. They should do fast and get it running."Rolling my eyes at his words, I bit my lips. He doesn't even know how much it was killing me that I had to walk this far twice, if I had the money, I
