Chapter 41 - My New Husband Awaits for Me (1/2)
Corinne gasped. So was that the real reason why Luna married President Li? After all, knowing her friend, Luna would have walked away and left, raising the child alone without informing anyone about it.
”How far along?” she asked. While Luna's abdomen hadn't shown any signs of her pregnancy, Corinne knew better. So all that exhaustion and sleepiness Luna endured from the past days had been caused by her pregnancy. Where would this leave her?
”About eight weeks or so,” Luna grumbled. ”I'm here to tell you I'm leaving. President Li wants me to move in his place right away,” she added.
”But what about your job? Are you still going to work for him, or did he also tell you to resign from your post and focus on your child?”
Luna ran both of her hands on her face in frustration. They hadn't really talked about their plans for the future. Of course, with her being pregnant, she supposed that Hero Li would agree if she told him she had to resign from work and look after Amber and their unborn child. But was it really that easy?
”I suppose I have to resign before people start noticing my baby bump. I also don't like how Sienna is keeping tracks on me.”
Her friend etched a deep frown. ”Why would she do that? I thought Sienna doesn't like you.”
Luna lifted her cup and sipped the warm tea from it. ”She's making sure her enemy is at bay and not trying to conspire against her.”
Corrine scoffed. Sienna was such a paranoid bitch then.
”Conspire? Wasn't she the one who's trying to offend you all this time? I swear Luna, I don't understand how could you attract bimbos and scheming bitches. Is there some kind of invisible warning on your forehead that says 'Hey bitches, try to poke on my business and piss me big time.' ” She then made a move with her fingers, drawing an invisible tag in the air.
Luna laughed at her friend's antics. Oh, it's surely been a while since she last laughed and smiled happily. With her problems coming left and right, she bȧrėly had time to find amusement for herself.
”Oh, Corinne. You are so funny. Maybe they are just bored with their lives and wanted what I have.”
