"Thanks" Paige said to the waiter that brought her coffee. "Do you want more sugar or..." "No, it's okay. I love it plain black" she replied. The waiter bowed and walked away with the tray. Paige's eyes swept the whole canteen, seeing the way everyone glared at her. "Are you worried that they might kill you one day for spending time with me?" Nate asked her. She lowered her gaze and smiled. "You should sometimes try to eat with your employees" she sipped from the cup."They are boring" he said. "Um... I won't be coming on Wednesday. I have somewhere to be" "It's fine. You can go wherever you want to. Let me guess, your boyfriend?" He smiled."He's not my boyfriend yet. I need to follow him to see his godmother" "Godmother? Does that still exist?" He scoffed."He doesn't have any parents but he has a god mother" she explained. Nate scoffed again. "You should be careful. You said it yourself not to trust men" Paige was surprised. Her face brightened."You listened to me that day
Paige waited for the papers to be photocopied. She just wished that the Fourty papers be printed fast so that she can leave from here. Jane just couldn't let her be. She kept on pestering her about Nate. "So, you knew him before you came here?" "Or... You met him here?""You two are very close, you know?""Argh! Jane! Please! Can you just let me be?" Paige pleaded. Jane placed a file on the table close to her and walked towards her. "Why? I just want to know. Or you can't tell me. Did you two date in high school? Was Quinn the one that stole him from you?""Jeez! Jane! For the love of Christ, stop!" She begged again. Luckily for her, she was done photocopying. She quickly grabbed the papers and walked towards the door. Jane ran after her and blocked the door. "You have to answer me first. Let me know. Everyone is talking about you. How can you just start working with us and Nate is all over you?""Maybe because I'm lucky. Excuse me" Paige shoved her aside and left. Those passing b
Nate dragged his tie, walking towards Quinn. He sat beside her and exhaled deeply."Babe? Are you alright?" She asked him."Yeah, I'm fine" he replied."I should get you a glass of water. I'll be right back" she said and left. .Dylan heard his phone ding. He pulled away from the kiss and stared at his phone. He read the message and let go of the model that he was kissing."I should leave now. See you later" she said."Sure, I'll call you" he slapped her a$$ as she walked away. Dylan sat down and gazed at the picture. He quickly typed some words and send it back to her.He then called Zane.After the first ring, he answered."I've been waiting for your call" "Let's meet at that bar. Now!" He said and disconnected the call...Nate was unbuttoning his shirt, waiting for Quinn to arrive with the glass of water. Her phone suddenly vibrated on the bed. He stretched his hand and reached for it. He saw the message Dylan sent to her and furrowed his eyebrows. He was lucky to know her pass
Paige was still feeling sleepy as she brushed her teeth. Zane arrived earlier than 7am so that the can leave 8am. She tiredly leaned her body on the basin, sleeping. Zane noticed the bathroom was silent. He called out her name. She woke up from her slumber and had her bath. She slipped into the gown Zane bought her and styled her hair, wearing less make up. She walked out of the room. Zane shot his mouth wide open and smiled."Wow" he muttered. "How do I look?" She asked. "You look beautiful. My godmother is going to love you" "Isn't it too early to leave? I'm so sleepy" "You can sleep in the car. I bought a lot of snack for you. It's going to be a long drive baby" he said, touching her waist. She felt uncomfortable, moving her legs. He noticed it and let go of her."Let's go" he said. "Sure" she replied and they walked out of the house together. .Zane quickly reached the car and opened the door for her. She looked round and adjusted her purse. Her gaze met with a car from d
Nate was still behind Zane's car. He was still following him behind. He sipped water from a bottle and closed it. His phone vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Quinn. He frowned and declined the call.The phone rang again. He groaned and answered the call."What is it Quinn? I'm busy!" He yelled. "It's Betsy. She..she got into an accident" Quinn cried. "What? How?" "I don't know. Hurry to the center hospital" she said. He glanced at the car in front of him and thought of Betsy. He didn't know what to do. "Sure, I'll be there as soon as possible" he disconnected the call.He didn't know if he should turn or not. Suddenly, a car arrived and blocked him. It came in between him and Zane's car. "What is this?" He murmured. Now, he doesn't want to go back. He slowed down not to look suspicious. "Paige is in big trouble. Jeez!" He murmured. He watched as the car tried to overtake Zane's car. He pulled over and waited. He watched from distance. ..The car pulled ove
Nate saw the guard as he walked round with his gun. He was lazy to walk around. Nate leaned on the wooden wall, breathing heavily. He shut his eyes, praying silently that the guards do not reach where he was. He was about to turn to the direction where Nate was but he stopped and spat in disgust. Nate heaved a breath of relief when the guard turned and left. He swiftly turned and peeped into the warehouse again. Of course, he had already switched his phone off to avoid unnecessary distraction. .Quinn frowned deeply as Nate's phone was switched up. She knew that he was in a meeting, still she was disturbing him. She saw the doctor coming from distance. She pretended to be crying again. "Mrs Quinn, you can see her now" the doctor said. She sniffed in, wiping empty tears from her face. She followed the doctor behind and went to Betsy's room. She was still in a coma. "Just five minutes" the doctor said and left. She smiled and nodded. Quinn rolled her eyes and sat on the chair clos
Nate drove for a long time. He pulled over in front of the hospital. Paige looked round and frowned."This is not my house" she said. "I know. I need to see Betsy. She got into an accident" he said, loosening his belt. Paige closed her mouth in shock. "How? Why?" She asked. "I don't know. Perhaps, I could flag a cab for you or you would wait for me" he said. "I also want to see her. I'll come with you" she said. "Okay" he said softly. They both alighted from the car and head into the building. .The doctor saw Nate and walked to him. "Good evening to you Mr Nate" he said and shook hands with him. "Where is Betsy's room please?" Paige asked the doctor. "Vip 3" he said. Paige left their midst."We'll talk later doc" Nate said and followed Paige behind. They got into the elevator together, going to the 8th floor. "I thought she was your enemy. Still you care about her" Nate said. "I never said she was my enemy. She's my boss baby mama and my ex colleague. I should care" she sa
Paige was at the cemetery where she went to visit her mother. She has been there since morning. She placed some flower on her grave and sat close to it."I missed you mom. If you were alive, you would have stopped me from following Zane. You would have stopped me from making any mistake. Now, I have to become my boss baby mama. Help me mom, what do I do?" She asked and sniffed in. She was trying not to cry. "Give me a good sign or a bad sign. Anything that can convince me that I should do this. Please mom" she sobbed silently..Suddenly, her phone rang in her purse. She sniffed in again and wiped the tears off her cheek. She took the phone and checked the caller ID. It was Nate. She answered it and cleared her throat. "Hey" she murmured. "Finally, where are you Paige?" He asked. "I should have told you earlier. I won't be coming over today. I went to visit my mother" she said. "Oh, I should give you some time. It's fine. You don't need to come tomorrow also" he said. "Thanks. I
Quinn got the notice of divorce from her lawyer on the third day after she was caught red handed by Nate. She was still thinking it won't come to this that her father, Mr Raymond would be able to talk to Nate's parent and they would be able to make him reconsider and delete any thought of getting an annulment from her.But even before her dad could get in touch with Mr Davidson, she had already receive the divorce papers, she was frustrated and annoyed at how fast Nate was handling everything,Like he was just waiting for her to cheat, now she was even suspecting this was a trap left for her by Nate, because she had not heard from Dylan since that day.Betsy also spare her no effort as she made sure to pass snide remarks at Quinn. She was in joy because the one she deem her greatest competition for Nate had just be disqualified.Paige was shocked when she heard that Quinn cheated on Nate again, she was disappointed to have had a friend like Quinn but she didn't show it.So as not to a
" How could you?" Nate's cold and detached voice reached Quinn as she shivered in fear, as she hoped she was dreaming.But Nate angry voice came again waking her from any doubts she might have about it being a dream." I asked you a question, right? why can't you reply? I asked why? Right now, I want to know the main reason why you keep cheating on me" Nate asked angrily.Quinn was not able to utter any words at all to defend herself or say anything. She was caught red handed and was so ashamed. she quickly found her self a robe to cover her body with before turning to Nate." I don't know what came over me, he came at me and I couldn't resist, I'm sorry!" Quinn said as she lied on Dylan since he was still unconscious she tried to move the blame on him, hoping she might be able still to salvage her home back, but it seems like Nate wasn't having any of it as he shook his head and walked out on Quinn.After he left, that's when she finally sat on a chair in the private room as she lean
" Get out!" Paige said in a very low tone but Nate was able to hear it properly. He could tell how angry she was at the moment. " Paige... You" Nate was trying something when he was cut off again." I said Get Out! Seriously, I don't even want to hear your twisted explanation of how you killed our baby, your own baby for Christ sake. Do you think I even want to do this? I'm doing for your sake and also Tricia!" Paige said already sobbing." I swear, I am sorry. I really am, and I swear to you I'm not trying to justify my actions or anything. I just don't want to keep it a secret from you again since it was eating me up inside. I know you suspected Adele but you can rest assure I was the one who made sure you never got your past medical reports, since I don't want you to know how you lost our child" Nate explained." What!!!, you did all that just to cover up all your dirty secrets" Paige said while pointing her finger at him as she could not believe the gentle Nate was capable of do
Nate could not understand why Paige and Betsy got pregnant at the same time, he opened his mouth to say something but the actual words just don't seem to come out.He sighed after trying and getting shock everytime he tried to say something." What is it, is there you want to tell me?" Adele asked." Yes, actually to be sincere, I have been using that pregnancy prevention pills for Betsy, so I can't relate how she is pregnant. I can be sure of Paige's own since I do know, I never used the pills for her " Nate explained." And you are sure you never had sex with her without using the pregnancy prevention pills? " Adele inquired with serious expression on her face.The moment she asked that question Nate got shocked as he remembered the first day.He did have sex without it since she swap juice with Paige after her little argument with Quinn." Ohhh I actually think, I did! " Nate said with a pained expression as he told Adele about how it all happened." Then I think I have to congratu
The family of four finally sat down at the dining table." I don't think I want this apple juice again, I want the one Quinn is drinking" Betsy said the moment she sat down at the chair.Nate's eyebrow raised when he heard this, cause no matter what happen he could not allow Quinn to change drinks with Betsy." Why do I have the feeling that this is not only about the drink" Quinn said, annoyed already at Betsy behaviour. She was still angry that Nate has not been in good mood with her since he found out about the pills.So, she decided to pass on the aggression on to Betsy. Meanwhile, Betsy was shocked at Quinn's outburst since Quinn has always been gentle with her since she came back into the house and has tried her best not to clash against her, but she realized she had hit a block today instead." Well I can't help but want every thing you possess, is it a bad thing to desire something?" Betsy replied not ready to be out done by Quinn." Please, can we not do this at the table? We
Two weeks have passed after since Betsy came back into the house and everything turned from a very quite house to a very loud house.The first few day Betsy came, Paige have been trying to avoid Betsy but she had enough of Betsy problems and fights so she decided to fight back and ever since then.It was no longer only Nate and Quinn that had arguments again, even Betsy and Paige were always at each others neck all the time****Nate just finished dressing up and was ready to go to work after all, his new project was already at the ending part and he wished to supervise everything by himself to make sure nothing goes wrong.Besides, the goods were filled with illegal guns and drugs covered up with other customer goods." What is your next move? " Nate heard Quinn voice from behind him the moment he reached for his briefcase." hmm, what do you mean my next move?" Nate questioned." How can you be so careless like this? You have two baby mamas already and I'm tired of those two arguing
Nate felt there was something else that Quinn was not telling him but there was no way he could force her to talk if she doesn't want to.So he could only do the first thing that came to his mind, which was to go upstairs and bath. After all, he just had a long day, but in climbing the stairs he realized he did not see Paige since or heard her voice.He remembered what Adele told him about Paige asking questions and if she ever goes to any hospital for a test any time soon, then she might know the reason for her miscarriage.So he got nervous. " Hey Quinn where is Paige?" Nate asked to confirm." Well, I have not seen her since I came in, I believed she went out, any problems?" Quinn asked back as her face still was on the television, not even sparing Nate a stare." No!!!, it's just that it's just weird for me not to meet her at home since she Is always at home" Nate tried to reason with Quinn, but she acted like it was no concern of hers.Nate dialed Paige's number as he made his w
Rose later dropped Quinn at her home and decided to take a cab back to the studio, even though Quinn still invited her inside for even a drinkmShe turned Quinn down saying " I would come back tomorrow, you know I have to go back before Dylan draws out all his hairs in annoyance because of my disappearance"Quinn just smiled and replied " Thanks again for everything" Quinn was really grateful she had a friend like Rose who seems to understand her." Don't worry, I would make sure to drop a word for you at the studio on why you could not come back" Rose said.Rose waved goodbye to Quinn when she saw that the cab she order has finally come to pick her.Quinn sigh after she left the thoughts of Betsy coming back was like a cancer in her lungs that prevents her from breathing properly*****Quinn entered the house. Fortunately for her, it seems Paige was not around, she Really need alone time to think about happen and the fact that Betsy seems to know she has a hand in her accident.She
" So how have you been Quinn?" Betsy asked with a smirked in her face." What do you want?" Quinn went straight to the point, wasting no time in confronting Betsy, since she was quite sure Betsy guard won't shoot her.After all they were in public and for him to still have to hide the gun shows the matter could still be salvage." Simple, I just want to talk to you. We have an unfinished business from last time, don't you think?" Betsy questioned Quinn with an intense stare off between both ladies." I don't remember having any business with you what so ever" Quinn replied, courageously."Now that's where you are really wrong dear because even if, we can forget about my contract with you and your husband. We can't forget the fact you left me to die when I had that nasty motor accident" Betsy said with a raised eyebrow as she looked at Quinn with disdain now."Hmmm" Quinn could not say anything but hmm In annoyance as she had no key word to use and defend against this accusation label
