Emilia's eyebrows crooked as she heard her name being called. She slowly opened her eyes while her vision was still blurry and felt her dizziness.

"Urgh, what is it?"

She answered as she could feel another person's presence in the room. From the sound of the voice, she could tell that it was a man. She heard the man say something, but she was not able to hear it properly.

Emilia frowned and get up as she supported her body and pointed at Aiden.

"you!" Emilia stopped and stared at Aiden's face. She scooted closer to him and touched his face.

"Your handsome." Emilia used her fingers to trace the contour of Aiden's face to his shoulders, chest and lifted his shirt, and saw his abs. She gasps in surprise.

"damn hot pandesal" Emilia stared at his firm and muscular abdomen. She licks her lip and stretches her hands to feel it in her hands. Emilia did not glance at Aiden as her attention was all on his abdomen. Aiden stared intently at Emilia.

Emilia's face turned red at the sudden flash of memory of that night resurfaced.

'Why is he here?'

This is the first question that Emilia asked herself.

"Emilia Blanche" Aiden stated and observed Emilia's reaction. he brought both his hand and clasp them together that made him look intimidating but in fact, he was just trying to hide his smile from breaking out from the expressions on Emilia's face.

"yes Sir," Emilia answered instinctively.

"so you work here. I never thought such a coincidence would happen in my life. Don't you think?" Aiden said as he stood up and walk over to Emilia's side. He lifts Emilia's chin and their eyes meet.

"who would have thought that you would look different when you're drunk." Aiden hinted and cause Emilia to blush even more.

Emilia stood there rooted as she did not know what to say in such situations.

“so? What do you want to do now?” Aiden asked Emilia as minutes had passed with her not saying anything at all and just stood there staring at his eyes.

Emilia was sent back to the night they had met in the bar. She asked herself why did she do that and why not just buy a beer and have it in her room and none of this could have happened. But then again she stood her ground and refute that if she did not do what she just did, she may not be able to have an experience that hot night with a real hottie as a partner.

"Do, what?"

Emilia asked back to Aiden, which he was taken aback by her question. Aiden took a step back from his position and leaned back to the table while maintaining eye contact with Emilia.

"Are you pertaining to what had happened that night? We could treat it as a one-night stand. We are both adults, and that kind of thing was common, right?" Emilia said indifferently.

Aiden was tongue-tied with Emilia's laid-back attitude. He did not expect that this is how Emilia would react, considering it was her first time, but he still complied with her.

'If this is what she wants, then let us just do it in her way then.' Aiden thought.

"Okey, but don't you want to ask for anything? Considering it was your first time? Money? Job promotion? Raise in salary? Anything. As long as I can give it to you. Just tell me." Aiden said confidently.

Emilia unconsciously raised her right eyebrow after what he had said.

'Does this bastard treat me like a leech? Opportunist? Exploiter?'

*BAM!*

The table shook from the force that came from the slamming of Emilia's hand as she took out the frustrations she felt from Aiden.

"That God Damn Fucking son of a bitch!" Emilia shouted while Aerys tried her best to hush her.

Aerys Clarke is Emilia's classmate in college. She was with Emilia during good and bad times. The last time they had met was during their graduation ceremony. Both of them became busy afterward and had missed the chance to meet personally.

Emilia told Aerys what had happened from what she had remembered that night to meeting Aiden once again at her workplace. Emilia came crashing to Aerys's apartment upon knowing that Aerys was free. The two ladies took their time coping up with what happened to their life.

"But you used protection, right?" Aerys asked Emilia after noticing that she ate what she normally avoided, and at the same time avoiding what she had normally liked to eat.

Emilia froze up and recalled that they did not. She looked at Aerys with panicked eyes, and she was about to cry. Aerys moved closer to her and calmed her down. She convinced Emilia to confirm it first before anything else. Aerys decided to buy the testing kit herself and gave it to Emilia. A few minutes later, Emilia went out of the comfort room, and her knees gave in, and she was now sitting on the floor feeling at loss with the two pregnancy test kits in her. Aerys kneeled down as she felt her legs losing strength. She took the kits and saw that both had the same results, which says she was pregnant.
