21. Wait n See

For the past three days, Deasy had secluded herself in her apartment. Taking advantage of the fact that she had suddenly fainted earlier, she chose not to go to work, citing illness as the reason. However, physically, Deasy was perfectly fine. It was her mental state that had been shaken after hearing the medical diagnosis. "You're pregnant, Deasy! Remember, you're P-R-E-G-N-A-N-T," she said, emphasizing each letter. "Finally, what you feared has happened. So, who are you going to hold responsible?" She had repeated that sentence countless times. Deasy tried to deny the reality that she was pregnant. Many thoughts crossed her mind, from finding a potential father to support and take responsibility, to hiring a husband or, worst of all, terminating the pregnancy. But one thing was for sure: Deasy did not want to marry Lucas Orion under any circumstances. "No," she shook her head repeatedly. "Even if it's doomsday, I will not marry Lucas Orion. No way!" Despite Lucas' earlier offe

21. Annoying

After contemplating for about four days and taking some time off, Deasy finally made up her mind to return to her activities.She pushed away the feelings of turmoil that had briefly taken hold of her and tried to act as normal as possible so that no one would suspect what she was currently going through.In any case, Dessy was determined. Not a single person should know that she was expecting a baby at the moment.When she arrived at the Quantum Tech building, Deasy was warmly welcomed by several staff members who had been part of her core team under her division. Some even gladly escorted her to her office, and she resumed her usual routine.Deasy felt immensely thankful and grateful to God for blessing her with responsible subordinates who had a high level of loyalty to their superiors and the company. When she returned to the office, all the deadlines she had left behind had been completed neatly without any remaining tasks. It only required a single review and her signature."If

22. In your Dream

"Do I really need to go to the obstetrician?"Deasy entered Veronica's car with a grumpy expression. She had just come home from work, and before she could even lie down and rest, her friend had come and insisted on taking her to the obstetrician for a check-up on her baby's condition.Deasy admitted that Veronica was a good and caring friend, but she really didn't want to go to the obstetrician."It's necessary. So that you know exactly how your pregnancy is progressing."Veronica nonchalantly fastened Deasy's seatbelt for her, then continued driving to the hospital.Upon arriving at their destination, Veronica wasted no time and ushered Deasy into the obstetrician's office. After waiting for about ten minutes, they were called in and invited to enter the examination room."Please lie down here, so I can perform the examination," the obstetrician requested as she prepared for the procedure.A nurse helped guide Deasy to the patient's bed. She was allowed to lie down comfortably, and

23. Treat Like a Queen

I don't know if it's just Deasy's feeling or if it's actually the fact that day by day feels like it's dragging on for so long. Well, what does it mean, anyway? Anyway, Deasy feels like the days are passing by very slowly.If she could ask God for a favor, she would want her pregnancy to instantly be nine months old. Can you imagine that?It does sound impossible, though. But, to be honest, she feels overwhelmed. It's not about taking care of the little baby inside her belly. It's more about worry and embarrassment, especially as her belly gets bigger, it's bound to attract attention from people around.But, because she's aware that she's covered in sin, it feels undeserving to ask for anything from God. As Veronica says,"Be grateful! Who asked you to keep getting drunk and not taking care of yourself? Sleeping with just anyone. Twice, even. Now you're pregnant, suddenly you're all worked up and dizzy."As a friend, Veronica falls into the category of Luck-nut friends. Instead of hel

24. Dream too much

"Sir, my audit team and I have checked multiple times. Arinda, Mr. Daniel's wife, doesn't have any foreign accounts or suspected involvement in money laundering or anything of the sort. The investigation has been thorough. I can assure you we won't be wrong."In the office space in his home, Lucas received a report from Felix. One task had been successfully completed by his assistant. Now, it was up to him to slowly investigate Deasy. Whether his boss had foreign accounts suspected to be where Daniel had hidden the company's money."So, we can remove her from the list.""Yes, Sir. Now it's just Ms. Deasy. For her, I leave it entirely to you, Mr. Lucas."Lucas nodded his head and reached for the documents that Felix had provided earlier, reading them once more."At first glance, Deasy's documents are clean, white, like Eid clothes. There's no stain.""But, it doesn't rule out the possibility that she received illicit funds from Mr. Daniel, right?"Lucas nodded."Yeah, all those possibi

25. Possible

Discovering Deasy suddenly staggering, then losing consciousness, Lucas promptly reached out to catch her so she wouldn't fall to the floor.Exerting all his strength, Lucas then carried Deasy and brought her to the bedroom, where he gently laid her on the bed.For a moment, Lucas took a deep breath. Trying not to panic, he hurriedly contacted the apartment's receptionist, requesting assistance in summoning a doctor to examine Deasy's condition as soon as possible.Fortunately, in the apartment complex, there was a standby doctor. It only took five minutes for the doctor to arrive and begin the examination."So, how is she, doc?"Lucas and the doctor both stepped out of the room. They sat on the living room sofa, discussing Deasy's condition and the reasons she had lost consciousness."Actually, there's nothing to worry about. Pregnant women often experience various symptoms in the early trimester. Some feel nauseous and vomit frequently. They may also struggle to eat. Mood swings are

26. Suprising

"You're really diligent, being at the office so early in the morning."Andromeda immediately addressed Lucas when she found him sitting neatly in his office at eight in the morning. Everyone knew that Lucas had officially resigned and was even going to leave for good in a few days. So, why bother being this diligent?Instead of hanging around the office early in the morning when no one was even there yet, Andromeda wondered why he didn't just come whenever he felt like it. After all, work attendance was no longer being counted."I want to hand over the remaining tasks to Mrs. Sofia."Lucas wasn't entirely boasting. Today, he did have to hand over the remaining work obligations as requested by the planning manager. The rest of his time, he used to investigate Daniel's financial data, which he could only access from Deasy's computer in the office.Unfortunately, despite coming early in the morning and sneaking around, he hadn't found anything yet. As his assistant had said, most likely

27. Have A Good Rest

Lucas was taken aback. His hand was already poised to input the numbers to unlock Deasy's laptop. However, upon hearing his name being called, he turned. To his surprise, he found Deasy standing there, gazing at him with a look of curiosity."Lucas... what are you doing with my laptop?"Thinking quickly about how to respond, Lucas couldn't admit that he was currently inspecting his boss's laptop without permission. That would surely get him in trouble."Me? What am I doing? I'm just hunting down germs that might be lurking on Ms. Deasy's belongings."Deasy glared at him. Why did Lucas always respond with such silly answers whenever she asked something serious? Couldn't the guy stay focused on the matter at hand? It was baffling!"I'm serious. Why were you trying to access my laptop without permission? You're caught."Lucas then pulled out his phone, opened the messaging app, and showed something to Deasy for her to read.Sofia: Lucas, there's a missing LJ report. Can you send the rema

28. Relax

"Oh my... I thought it was Lucas who was coming."Veronica entered Deasy's apartment unit with a puzzled expression. She quickly sat down on the sofa, and Deasy followed suit."Lucas? Which Lucas are you talking about?""Lucas Orion. The nerdy Lucas."Veronica burst into laughter. However, seeing Deasy's annoyed expression, she quickly covered her mouth."Oops... sorry. But why did you think Lucas Orion was coming?"Deasy leaned against the back of the sofa, taking a deep breath as if she had just gone through something very exhausting."Just so you know, Lucas and I have made an agreement and a pact.""Huh?" Veronica was taken aback, but she quickly became curious. She wondered what kind of agreement had been made between her friend and the guy who had impregnated her."What kind of agreement?" Veronica's eyes widened. As if remembering something, she grabbed Deasy's wrist and exclaimed rather loudly, "Don't tell me you're getting married? Oh my... finally. So, are you really getting

29. Investigate

"Out of all the documents I copied, you didn't find a single piece of data we need?"Lucas rubbed his temples. He felt like his efforts had been in vain. He had gone to great lengths, sneaking around and even getting caught trying to access Deasy's laptop, only to discover that none of the data he had copied contained any clues to solve the Daniel case he had been working on.Felix and the audit team, who had been helping him all along, had spent the last two days frequently hanging out at Lucas's residence, meticulously reviewing the copied data. Now, after hoping for more, it turned out they hadn't found the desired results."We've checked multiple times, one by one, even the smallest details. But we still couldn't find anything suspicious, Sir. So, it can be concluded that there is no suspicious data at all," Felix explained in detail.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself in the face of disappointment. He had hoped for at least one piece of evidence to incriminate Danie
