Chapter 59 - Feelings (2/2)

However, she found out that Luca Tybelg was away for a business trip to Country N. It means she will meet him there when they go for their company trip!

Arrghh, why is her life so difficult?

Jennet gritted her teeth angrily in front of her computer. She wanted to rant all of her frustration but there's no one to talk to. She turned to her side but found no sign of her friend, Marvina.

Turning her head to the back, she asked the other colleague, ”Where is she?” She asked, pointing to Marvina's desk.

The bespectacled woman with the name, Keira, answered, ”She had a meeting with her clients. She probably will return in about two hours from now.”

”Thanks, Keira.” Said Jennet and focused on her computer screen again.

However, her mind was not about her work. The clear steamy moments from last night kept showing up in her head which made her blushed deeply behind her PC.

No matter how she tried to focus, she just couldn't give her full attention towards her work. Everything in her head was already messed up so badly.

She stood up and walked out of the office after informing Keira that she's going to the Human Resource Department. She wanted to apologize for not coming to work yesterday and to ask for overtime as compensation for her absence.

Also, to forget that she had just slept with a man!

As soon as she arrived, Susan Banner was about to leave the office. ”Oh, Miss Lockhart. Lucky you come. I was about to see you tell you to get some rest at home.”

”Rest? But, I'm fine Mrs Banner,” Jennet replied. ”I still can work.” She added, remembering all about her 'sprained back'.

How did that excuse even appear in the first place? That Hue is so...ugh!

She was frustrated but there was nothing she could do about it and she had to agree to that excuse.

Susan Banner shook her head and replied, ”No, no. You have to go home and rest. I've received your sick leave form from the hospital this morning. It's a three days sick leave.”

”Ohh...” Jennet exclaimed in confusion. Sick leave form from the hospital? Even for three days?!

How on Earth did she ever have a sick leave from the hospital when she never even went there to get any treatment for her so-called sprained back.

”But, I've never been...”

”Your sprain is not to be taken lightly otherwise it will affect your body when you're expecting your child in the future.” Susan Banner interrupted with a smile, snapping her to her senses.

Ex...expecting my child?

Jennet turned bright red the moment she heard those words coming out of her mouth. She staggered on her feet, losing her composure once again.

Hearing the word 'child' made her heart squealed in fright. Her mind went flying again towards what she had done on the previous night.

She had actually spent the night with Hue while she was in her soberness and she had experienced the moment that she forgot on their first night together. It was an intense feeling and torturous as hell.

What will happen to her in the near future if life actually started to beat in her womb after what she went through with Hue?

They've slept twice in two nights now and each night had always been so intense. Last night was even worser.

Hue was indeed trying his hard to impregnate her!

”Ehh, Miss Lockhart, are you okay? Why are you getting so red? Are you sick?” Susan Banner asked as she supported her from falling on her knees.

Jennet forced a smile on her face as she stood up properly on her feet, ”I am fine. I... I just felt a bit tired.”

”Oh, that's bad. You must go home and get enough sleep. Is there anyone that I can call to pick you up?” Susan Banner asked.

Jennet shook her head. ”No, actually I still can work today.” She said, trying to reject the idea of sending her home. No one at home is reliable enough to be asked for help.

If she goes home, who knows what that perverted man would do to her. She was a hundred per cent sure that she will be tortured again by him.

Because this morning, he was reluctant to let her leave the bed and still had the time to exhaust her early in the morning though she had begged him to let her rest.

Today, she needed to crash somewhere else or she will never have the rest that she needed the most. She had been planning to not return to the villa for as long as she's allowed to take her rest. Three days away from home...especially from the man called Hue Hedo!

Susan Banner glanced at the face that had now turned a bit pale after it was red before.

”Are you really alright? I fear you will collapse if you continue to be stubborn on continuing to work. You better go home and rest. I'll drive you home.” She said, putting a halt to her retaliation.

”That's okay. I'll go home on my own.” Jennet said at last. ”I will drive by myself. Thanks for your concern, Mrs Banner.” She added and smiled.

Susan Banner smiled back at her and handed her a bar of chocolate, ”Take it. Eat it when you're feeling down and drive safe.” She said softly, giving her a light pat on the shoulder.

Jennet took it with a 'thanks' and headed out of the office. But then, she bumped onto Mira who was walking past her. They collided and the files in Mira's hand fell to the floor.

”Are you blind? Look at where you're going!” Mira hissed at her underneath her breath as she bent down and took the file. Her eyes glint with disgust as she walked.

Jennet stayed silent as she gives way for Mira to walk away. But still, she can hear Mira's sharp words, ”Lucky woman. Luca even gave you special treatment to stay at home for your so-called injury when you faked it all. Tch, when someone is cheap they will always be cheap in the eyes of men. So fake!”

Those words flew so smoothly out of the beautiful woman's mouth, bad-mouthing her for her fakeness. Mira disappeared at the corner of the building like raging ogres.

Jennet stood silently by the door as she watched Mira's silhouette disappeared from her view.

Turning to the side, she exhaled a deep sigh. 'Haa...I never faked my illness. I never have the intention to fake it. It's Hue who has been making my life hard from day one!' She grunted alone.

She walked back towards her own department and sat down in front of her PC. However, all of her paperwork on the desk has been cleared.

Frowning in confusion, she can't help it but turn back at her colleague, ”Keira, did you see anyone taking the stacks of paper and files from my desk?” She asked Keira.

That paperwork must be done before the company trip because, after the trip, she will have to hand it over to her manager for approvals.

”Mira did because Susan asked her to take over the paperwork since you're going home to rest,” Keira answered.

”Ohh...” Jennet was surprised.

She turned to look at her PC but her mind was already picturing Mira's angry face with smooth curses flew out from her mouth.

'Wow, I'm going to be dead after my return. She'll surely pay back three times than now.' She mumbled in her head.

But then, she turned back to look at Keira and asked, ”Is there anything I can help you? Photocopy or printing documents?”

She felt guilty if she goes home instantly. It just doesn't feel right!

Keira shook her head, ”No thanks. You better go home because if you refuse you'll only trouble the entire company if you collapse. Our Human Resources will be questioned why the employees' welfare were not taken good care of. Do you want to make other people's life harder because of your reluctantness?”

Jennet shook her head. ”No,” She replied and gulped silently.
