Semua Bab Sleeping With My Boss: Becoming Surrogate Mom For My Friend: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Axton's mother's question still lingered in Sierra's mind the following day, causing her to reflect silently after washing her hands in the office restroom. There were a few women around, but she wasn't familiar with them.After finishing a meeting in the conference room, she stopped by the restroom before heading to the first floor for an important meeting with Axton. They needed to arrive before lunch, and she felt relieved to have a lot of time since the previous meeting ended earlier than scheduled.After finishing up in the restroom, Sierra quickly walked out. She needed to contact Bella to inform her that the documents she had handed over yesterday afternoon were revised and submitted to Axton. However, the man had been too busy all morning to review them.Unfortunately, Sierra frowned upon realizing her phone wasn't in her bag.Damn. It must have been left in the restroom.“I swear I heard moaning coming from Mr. Scott's office yesterday afternoon. And when I checked, Sierra wa

FlashbackFour years ago…“I heard you helped Axton pick out our engagement ring,” Callie said as she placed several paper bags on the table after arriving at the café where they had planned to meet for lunch.Sierra had been waiting for ten minutes. When Callie didn’t show up, she pulled out her laptop and started working on unfinished tasks.“Do you like it?” Sierra asked, glancing up from her laptop, her fingers still typing without pause as she had memorized the keyboard layout by heart.“This is the most beautiful ring I’ve ever had?” Callie smiled as she admired the ring on her finger.Sierra quickly shut her laptop after finishing a task. Callie would close it forcefully if she didn't, risking her unsaved work.“I’m glad you’re happy,” she said with a smile.“I bought all of these as gifts for you. Don’t argue or protest. I don’t want to hear, ‘This is too expensive, Callie,’ or ‘You shouldn’t have spent your money on this, Callie.’ I mean it!” Callie pushed the paper bags towa

Flashback7 years ago…Sierra anxiously bit her lip as she listened to what Callie was saying.“Oh my God, was meeting him a bad idea?” She started to doubt her decision when she realized she had made it without consulting Callie first.“Didn’t you hear the news about how many women have been murdered after meeting men from dating apps?” Callie rolled her eyes.“Is that real? I think everything will be fine if we meet in a crowded place, right? I wouldn’t let him take me to hotel or apartment.”Callie gave her an exasperated look.“What's his name? Let me search for his social media. I don’t understand why you're still messaging him on that anonymous app. You should have switched to other social media by now. Or just give me his number, and I can report him to the police if something happens.”Sierra blinked, realizing that she didn’t have any of that information.She didn’t even know his real name because they agreed not to share their names with each other. X had no social media, an

Sierra looked up when she heard a knock on her bedroom door late at night. She had already told everyone she was skipping dinner and would eat later when she felt hungry. So, no one was supposed to come and call her for dinner.“Sierra, may I come in?”“Of course, Callie!” She rolled over from her prone position, phone in hand, as Callie entered the room, carrying two jars of her favorite chips. “What’s up?” she asked, furrowing her brows at Callie’s annoyed expression as she joined her on the bed.“Nothing,” Callie said, placing the jars on the bed before lying prone as well and starting to munch on her chips, just like they used to do back in their college dorm years ago. “I’m just tired of listening to Axton and his mother talk. I don’t understand why she has to stay here for two weeks when she has all the maids at her house and would never be lonely or struggle there.”“She’s a mother, Callie. She probably misses her son and wants to spend time with him.”“But does it have to make

Sierra still couldn’t believe it as she sat in the obstetrician’s waiting room, Axton beside her. They had skipped work because Axton insisted on going to the hospital after she showed him a pregnancy test with a faint line suggesting she was pregnant.“Why didn’t you buy another test?” Axton asked.She shook her head. “I couldn’t bring myself to believe what I saw. That’s why I didn’t tell anyone since yesterday.”“Yesterday?” Axton frowned. “When exactly did you find out?”“Yesterday afternoon, before I entered your office,” she said, exhaling deeply.Axton looked at her as though a million questions swirled in his mind. Before he could speak, she interrupted, “I just don’t know what to do. It all feels so unreal.”“Is that why you came to me?”She nodded. “Maybe. And I admit I shouldn’t have done that.”“You didn’t tell Callie?” He asked, shifting the topic as he noticed her discomfort.“I hesitated to tell Callie because I didn’t want to disappoint her again like before. It’s stil
