In the study room.Judy also wanted to leave early. She didn't like to stay here.As soon as she entered the study, Lewis tossed the Southwest project proposal to her, followed by two words: "Redo.""Yes, President." Judy picked up the proposal, glanced at it, and asked, "Mr. President, is there a problem?"Lewis's gaze was icy cold as he looked at her: "Do I need to teach you how to do it?"Sensing Lewis's displeasure, Judy dared not say much: "President, I'll redo it right away."The man before her was truly unpredictable.But she couldn't resent the hefty salary.Judy sat down and began to redo the work. She didn't know exactly what the problem was, so she had to review the Southwest project's materials again, trying to guess Lewis's intentions as she redid it.Leo, who was nearby, was quite surprised. Lewis was acting a bit strange tonight.He seemed to have a lot of objections to Judy.While he was pondering, Leo was also called out.Lewis asked without expression: "Leo, what are
Lewis was feeling inexplicably irritable, and with a slap, he tossed his book onto the table and stood up to leave.That "slap" made Judy's heart tighten.Had she offended her boss? Could she lose her job?Just then, she heard Mia's voice in the hallway: "Sir, madam is in severe pain, you should go see her quickly."Following that, Lewis's hurried footsteps could be heard.Judy breathed a sigh of relief internally, thanking her lucky stars that Lewis's girlfriend fell ill at such a fitting moment, otherwise this night would have been much harder to endure.Before long, she heard the hurried footsteps again, this time heading downstairs.Judy walked over to the window and glanced out just in time to see Lewis supporting his girlfriend into the car, presumably to head to the hospital.As they were facing away from Judy, Lewis's body also blocked Susan, so Judy didn't get a glimpse of her face.His girlfriend was draped in Lewis's coat, which showed he really cared for her.The car start
Susan's words caused Lewis's face to darken immediately, and his eyes turned slightly cold: "Susan, you've gone too far. I can let you live in the Royal Manor, or I can let you out."Susan was trying to meddle in Lewis's private life, hitting a nerve.Fearfully and with a pale face, Susan stammered, "Lewis, I-I was just asking.""What's none of your business, do not meddle," Lewis glanced at her coldly, "Just stick to your role."With that, he left straight away.Susan felt like she had narrowly escaped a catastrophe; Lewis's expression was terrifying.She couldn't bear to lose the opulence—the big villa, designer bags, and luxury cars. How could she give it up? Even if she couldn't be Mrs. Lewis, what did it matter?As long as he gave her enough money, that was all that mattered.At present, she was the only woman living in the Royal Manor; she believed there would be opportunities. If she were to have Lewis's child, she could enjoy this splendid wealth forever.Susan was realistic.
Judy felt nauseous for a while but didn't vomit anything. The smell of the can made her feel very uncomfortable."Sorry, Linda," Judy said awkwardly."Judy, don't you like this smell?" Linda wasn't angry but asked, "Or are you not feeling well?"Judy covered her nose: "I don't know why, but I occasionally feel nauseous recently, especially with certain smells.""Judy, could you be pregnant?" Her colleague Jane walked in and said, "Your reaction is similar to my sister-in-law’s. She just got pregnant and is nauseous and vomiting just like this."Pregnant?Those words frightened Judy not slightly; she was petrified.There are no secrets in the office. Judy had previously blurted out that she had a fiancé, and everyone believed her. Sometimes John would pick her up from the company, which convinced everyone further.Since everyone thought Judy had a fiancé, they were friendly to her. Considering how beautiful Judy was, if there had been any potential conflict of interest, how could there
Upon hearing that Judy had gone to the hospital, a peculiar light flashed in Lewis's eyes. Louis, apprehensively asked, "What's wrong with her? Is it serious? Which hospital did she go to?" His level of concern could make one think he and Judy had some sort of relationship. Linda said, "I'm not quite sure, it could be stomach discomfort, Judy mentioned it to me." Linda was worried about Lewis's reaction. Louis speculated, "Maybe it’s food poisoning, or she’s just tired..." Lewis, with a cold compression of his eyebrows, retorted, "My secretary is ill, it’s none of your business to worry." Louis reasoned as a matter of course, "Judy is sick, she’s at her most vulnerable and in need of care, that's exactly when I should be providing comfort." Linda was taken aback -- was Louis pursuing Judy? Eager, Louis said, "Linda, give me Judy’s contact, I want to look after her." Linda glanced at Lewis and then said to Louis, "Sorry, it’s not appropriate for me to give you Judy’s personal
Judy left the hospital with a prescription of folic acid and the examination report in her hands.She is pregnant, carrying Lewis's child.Judy felt lost about the future. At twenty-five, was she going to be a single mother?Could she really do it?Touching her belly, thinking of the baby inside, Judy felt a surge of strength fill her.She is an orphan, with no parents or relatives. Now, the baby is the closest person to her in this world.She was no longer alone.As for Lewis... Judy had not thought about telling Lewis.Lewis might think she was trying to trap him. If she lost her job, how would she take care of the baby?Judy didn't dare to take that risk."How come you're not pregnant? Are you mistaken?"Judy looked over and saw the woman from before being scolded by a matron who seemed to be her mother.The woman looked like she was used to taking abuse, being dragged away while being scolded.Judy glanced at the time. It was five o'clock, and she decided not to go back to the off
John was the first person to know about Judy's pregnancy.Judy treated John like family, and at this moment, she didn't know who else to turn to, so she confided in John.John's expression froze, and his hand tightened around the ring box under the table. He was stunned, glancing at Judy's stomach, he asked, "Pregnant? Whose is it? When did you even get a boyfriend? How come I've never heard about it?""I don't have a boyfriend…" Judy said carefully, "Let's not worry about who the father is right now. John, I had a check-up at the hospital today. You're the first person I'm telling this to. I want to keep the baby. What do you think?"John was too shocked, unable to process such news.He discreetly put away the ring box, stuttering due to surprise, "This, this situation... Judy, you're planning to be a single mother? Who's the jerk? If he doesn't want to be responsible for you, I'll go confront him right now."The very thought of Judy being mistreated made John fiercely angry."Calm d
Judy moved slightly to the side in the elevator, a small action that did not escape Lewis's notice.Beside Lewis, Leo greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Judy.""Good morning, sir," Judy replied, still with her head down. "Good morning, Leo."As the elevator doors closed, Judy tried to keep a low profile, wondering why Lewis didn't take the President's private elevator.When they reached the 12th floor, many colleagues waited outside, hesitant to enter upon seeing Lewis.Who would dare to share an elevator with the boss?The staff greeted with one voice, "Good morning, President."With impeccable attire, Lewis exuded a dignified and imposing air.Leo got off at the 12th floor, and Judy felt panic; she didn't want to be alone with Lewis.Without a word, she followed Leo out."Judy," the cold voice of Lewis came from behind. "Come to my office."Judy felt a chill run down her spine."Yes, sir," she whispered and followed him back in.The elevator continued to the 38th floor, the Pr
