All Chapters of Pregnant by the CEO I Hate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

Olivia;Caspian leaves the large bag at my feet and walks away with those long strides of his, heading back through the hotel doors without looking over his shoulder once, which is exactly the sort of thing he would do after dropping a mystery bag in front of me and expecting me to understand what it means.I look down at the bag, then back toward the doors he disappeared through, already annoyed because he could have taken two seconds to tell me what I am supposed to do with it.I crouch and pull the sides apart, only to stop when I see women’s heels packed inside in different styles and sizes, more pairs than any sane person would bring to one business dinner.What am I supposed to do with an entire bag of female shoes?I take my phone from my handbag and call him. He picks up on the second ring.“What am I supposed to do with these shoes?” I ask.“What do people usually do with female shoes?”His dry, impatient tone gets on my nerves immediately, and I press my teeth together befor

Caspian;Mateo found me in Beijing, and the fact keeps circling through my mind while my jet cuts through the night.He had no reason to know where I was. I spoke with Alejandro myself, and the old man told me the visit had been kept between the people who needed to know. Mateo was never supposed to hear about it, much less find me at my dinner event. Alejandro would not have handed him that information, which leaves one possibility I do not like at all.Someone close to me is feeding Mateo my information.Not scraps picked up from gossip or business press. Whoever is doing this has access to my movements across countries and knows where I am going before the public does. That puts the problem much closer to me than I thought, and what angers me most is that I did not see it sooner.I lean deeper into the leather seat and press my jaw together while I go over the people who knew about Beijing. Mateo has always been impatient, too eager to get his hands on power he has not earned, and

Olivia;I push the door to my apartment open and drag my suitcase inside. My limbs ache with exhaustion from the trip, and all I want is to fall face-first onto my bed and stay there for the next twelve hours.I am halfway across the living room when someone rings my doorbell, stopping me in my tracks. Who is monitoring me so closely that they know the exact second I get home? And who shows up at my door without calling first?I tip my head back, let out a long, frustrated breath, and scratch my fingers through my messy hair before walking back to the door. I try the dashcam screen, but the thing is broken, which is exactly what I need today. I never have time to fix anything in this place.I unlock the door and pull it open.Nox is standing on my doorstep holding a bouquet of flowers.I can only stare at him at first. Then I lean out and look up and down the empty street because there has to be some chance he has confused my apartment with somebody else’s. When I look back at him, he

Olivia; I pick it up.“Report to my office,” he says immediately.That is all I get before the call ends.I get up, smooth my blouse, and walk into his office. He does not look away from his screen when I enter.“Announce an emergency meeting with the marketing, planning, and finance teams. Immediately.”“Yes, sir.”I return to my desk and type the message into the relevant group chats. Once it is sent, I glance at his office door and wonder why this man loves emergency meetings so much. Does he wake up and choose panic for the rest of us?A few minutes later, his office door opens. He steps out, adjusts his cuffs, and looks in my direction.“Come with me.”I get up and follow him to the elevators. He presses the button for the second floor, and when the doors close, the two of us are alone.I stay a little behind him with my eyes fixed on the glowing floor numbers because looking at him feels like a terrible idea today.Then the cold storage room pushes into my head.His arms around

Olivia;I stop outside Caspian’s office and draw in a slow breath, trying to get myself under control before I walk in. If he has called me here because he is finally ready to deal with my resignation, then I will deal with it. I may hate the humiliation that comes with it, but my life will continue after Fender Empire, and I need to remember that before I open this door.I push the door open and step inside.Diantha is already there, seated comfortably on the couch in the middle of the room with her legs crossed, scrolling through her phone unbothered like someone who has every right to be there. Caspian sits behind his desk with his eyes fixed on his laptop screen, and he does not look up when I enter.I walk forward until I am standing in front of his desk and wait, bracing myself for the conversation I have been expecting since Barrett opened his mouth.“I’ve sent some important files to your email,” he says instead, keeping his attention on the screen. “You and Diantha will start
