All Chapters of He Doesn’t Know I Had His Child, And Now He’s My Boss : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

MELISSA POVOn Monday morning, I’m reviewing the reports at my desk when one of the senior managers approaches me and informs me that there’s a meeting for the Operations team in the conference room in fifteen minutes.I save the document I am working on and arrange the papers I need for the meeting before getting up from my desk.When I enter the conference room, Nora is already there with two senior managers and other members of the department. Nora stands beside the screen at the front, checking the documents she has brought for the meeting. A few minutes later, everyone has settled into their seats, and she begins.“Good morning, everyone. I’ll keep this meeting brief because we all have work to get back to. We need to discuss the delays we’ve had with some of our reports and make sure they don’t affect the tasks scheduled for this week.”Nora turns on the screen and displays a summary of the department’s ongoing projects. She goes through the reports one after another, pointing o

MELISSA POVI start walking towards the road, but I keep thinking about Lucy’s words.I know asking her the same questions again won’t get me the answers I want. She already made it clear that she doesn’t want to betray her sister’s trust, and pushing forward now will only make her suspicious of me. After I get home, I drop my bag on the center table in my sitting room and remain standing. After a few seconds, I start walking up and down the sitting room, trying to think of another way to get her talking. I consider asking her about Nora again during our next meeting, but I quickly dismiss the idea. Lucy will only give me the same response.I stop walking and look towards the artwork hanging on the wall. What I need is a situation where she can feel relaxed enough to speak freely without thinking too much about what she’s saying.An idea comes to my mind, and I smile slightly.I can suggest that we go somewhere for drinks. It will be different from our usual meetings, and I can use

DAVIS POVI pause when I hear Nora's voice on the phone.I straighten slightly, my attention shifting completely to the call.“What happened to her?”“I got a call that she developed a fever, and she has been complaining about a headache. We're at the hospital now. The doctor has examined her and said she has malaria.”“I hope it’s not something too serious?” “Not really. The doctor said they need to start her treatment and monitor her for some days before she can be discharged.”I let out a slow breath. “Which hospital are you at?”She tells me the name, and I take a moment to process what she's saying.“Have they started treating her?”“Not yet. The doctor asked me to make a deposit before they begin.”“Then make the payment. Don't let anything delay her treatment.”“Okay.”I look at the time on my phone. It's already late, and the thought of Mai lying in a hospital bed while Nora stays there with her doesn't sit well with me.“I'll come over.”There is a brief pause before she res

DAVIS POVTwo days have passed since Mai started her treatment, and she's looking much better now. Her fever has gone down, and she no longer complains about her headache as often as she did when she was first brought to the hospital.I've continued handling my work during these two days, but I've also made time to visit the hospital and check on Nora and Mai. Nora has barely left Mai's side. Even when she rests, I can still see the worry on her face.The doctor comes in later that morning to check on Mai. Nora moves closer to the bed while I remain beside her, watching as he examines her and listening as he asks a few questions about how she's feeling.Mai answers him quietly, saying her head doesn't hurt as much as it did before.The doctor checks her temperature and reviews her treatment before telling us that she's responding well. He explains that she's improved enough to continue her recovery at home, but she still needs to get enough rest and complete her medication.Nora asks

DAVIS POVBy evening, Mai has spent most of her time playing and resting in the living room. She looks much better than she did when we brought her home from the hospital, and I’m glad to see her getting her energy back. Nora comes downstairs after preparing her things for the night.“Mai, it's time to go to bed.”Mai looks at her, then turns towards me.“Uncle, are you going to sleep too?”I smile. “Yes, little one. It's getting late.”She reaches for Nora's hand, and Nora takes it.“Come on, sweetheart. Let's go upstairs.”Mai waves at me as Nora leads her towards the staircase.“Goodnight, Uncle.”“Goodnight, Mai. Sleep well.”“I will.”I watch them until they disappear upstairs before returning to what I'm doing.After a while, I go upstairs to my bedroom and get ready to sleep.The following morning, I wake up earlier than usual and take my shower. Since it’s the weekend, I wear shorts and a casual shirt before heading downstairs. I find Mai already in the living room.She's sit
