Semua Bab Seducing Mr Thompson : Bab 21 - Bab 30

"Are you hurt?" Andrew asked, his face etched with concern."I'm fine," Astrid replied. "What were you looking for? Why did you leave my office?""Nothing," Astrid said. "Let's go back to my office. I'm done."He held her hand, and they walked hand in hand to the car."Where are we going?" Astrid asked. "Shopping for baby clothes? Isn't it too early?" Astrid asked."We're going to buy whatever you want," Andrew said with a smile.Astrid smiled, knowing Andrew's card would "beg for mercy." Astrid shopped endlessly throughout the day, went to the beach to spend quality time together, and visited the amusement park with him for the first time. She saw Andrew's childhood side, and he laughed, which was rare. She felt special for seeing this side of Andrew.When they got home, they met Mrs Thompson in the sitting room. The TV was turned off, and the lights were off; everywhere was dim. Astrid wondered what was going on.Andrew remembered how his mother was when he lost his father; she rem

"Astrid is carrying my child," Andrew said.Mrs Thompson walked over and slapped Andrew on the cheek. "How could you be so careless? Huh? Why didn't you take preventive measures?"Mrs Thompson paced around as she thought. "She's carrying my grandchild. They heir to Andrew's properties. What would people say when they find out that Astrid is pregnant? What about the marriage? I have spent a lot on this wedding... Astrid can't give birth out of wedlock."She didn't know what to do. So she finally started on something. "Abort the child," she said calmly."What are you saying?" Andrew asked, unsure of what he heard from his mother's mouth."I meant what I said. Abort the child. That child was made out of wedlock. I won't let such child inherit anything from this family. Mrs Thompson said trying to protect their family's reputation."Unfortunately for you, all the assets are in my name. So it's my choice to give it to my child or not. There is nothing you can do to say about it."Andrew th

"I'm so disappointed in you," Mrs Thompson said as Andrew walked into her room. "I know, I'm sorry," Andrew apologized, intending to make peace and end all quarrels. "It just happened. No one was expecting it, you know?" Andrew said."You know Mira has been a really good girl; she stayed by my side throughout the night, even when you left. You abandoned me here. I need someone like her who can take care of me without complaining," she indirectly said, praising Mira, hoping to start a topic regarding his thoughts on Mira. She wanted to know what exactly happened between them—if there was a quarrel among them when they were little. But Andrew shut down the topic."That's not why I'm here," Andrew replied. "Why are you here, then?""What are you doing about the wedding?" Andrew asked."I don't know what to do,I don't know who to pick between these two sisters" Mrs Thompson said."I've received tons of congratulatory cards," Andrew said, and Mrs Thompson smiled. "From who, exactly?" And

He decided to call and ask about the project he submitted last week. He was expecting to hear Andrew's voice, but instead, it was his secretary."Good afternoon. I'm sorry, but Mr Thompson is not available at the moment. Please leave a message if possible," she said courteously."It's George Smith. I'm calling to ask about my project," Mr Thompson's secretary caught him short. "Oh yeah, ehm, it was rejected because the land you picked was already polluted by chemicals. Please make proper background and proper background check before,...." George ended the call feeling annoyed.His phone beeped with the message: "I'd like to talk to you by 5 PM tomorrow at Sun Glows Hotel." This was a great chance for him to start his company, his career as an architect.There was a knock on his door. When he opened it, it was Mira."What are you doing here?" he asked."I thought you said we should stop seeing each other," or "do you miss m....?" he said as he tried to put his hand around her waist."S

Mrs Thompson arrived at Sun Glow's Hotel and told her driver to wait for her. "I won't be long," she said, and then walked into the restaurant. She found out that George was already waiting for her; he had already booked a private room. Mrs Thompson found her way there, knocked, and went in."Good evening, ma'am," George greeted cheerfully. "I have been waiting for you.""Let's go straight to business," she said as she sat down ignoring all forms of pleasantries ."Are you canceling the engagement or not?""You know Astrid and I were engaged since we were little, and we were forced to go on play dates so we would know and bond with each other better. And as time went on, we started getting along, liking each other, until all of a sudden she stopped talking to me. She avoided me. Well, I thought she was upset with me, and I was ready to give her time to get over it since she wasn't communicating about her feelings. But now I realized that she was crushing on Andrew Thompson, which is yo
