Fae woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. She felt embarrassed because she had not experienced sleeping on an expensive mattress for only a month but her body had become spoiled.
The comfortable mattress at the penthouse really gave her a good night's sleep and she could get her much needed rest.
The clock on the wall was already showing 8:30 am and she hurriedly took a shower and got ready for the office.
Mischa was no longer in the penthouse or office. Apparently, he caught an early morning flight to Singapore. There was only a note stamped on the refrigerator door that he had left.
Fae, who went to get an apple from the refrigerator for breakfast, took the note and sighed.
Ahh ... that means she'd be here alone for the next week.
She went to the office and did some of the tasks that were asked by Mischa. She translated some classified documents into English and sort the requested reports.
The working day still lasted for another two days, until December 23, then the company would give year-end holidays to its employees to enjoy Christmas and New Year holidays with their families.
When Fae came to the restaurant on the 10th floor for lunch, she saw faces staring at her with unfriendly gazes. The girl frowned. She knew she was a new employee there and didn't have many acquaintances, but before today, she had not felt such an intense aura of hostility like now.
What's wrong? Why did these women seem to hate her so much?
As she walked to a table in the corner with a tray of food in her hands, she passed a table where Sarah and several girls wearing expensive clothes. They all stared at her without blinking and disgusted expressions. They didn't even make an attempt to hide their contemptuous look.
Fae could only sigh. She suspected this had something to do with what Sarah saw yesterday in Mischa's office when she hugged her boss because she was feeling moved. Ughh....
Supposely, all this time, Sarah had only spread gossip without proof that Fae was their boss's mistress, then yesterday, the HR Director's assistant must have thought that she had hit the jackpot because she found evidence to her claims, when she saw Fae hugging Mischa.
In that case, it would be Fae who would be blamed for being the seductive assistant. No wonder most of the female staff looked at her in contempt. They thought she seduced their boss...
Fae tried to calm herself down and didn't care about the people around her. The most important thing here was the opinion of Mischa, her boss. If Mischa didn't care and didn't think Fae was a temptress, then she didn't have to care about other people's opinions.
They weren't the ones who pay for her the salary. They also didn't have the authority to fire her, as long as she kept doing her job well.
Fae swallowed her food with difficulty.
Hmm .. why did her appetite suddenly disappear? It felt like whatever she put in her mouth was tasteless and made her want to vomit.
Ugh .. maybe this was the result of thinking about those rotten gossips, Fae thought irritably. She sipped her juice to relieve nausea in her throat.
"Yuck..."
Jeez ... Fae hurriedly pressed her mouth to prevent vomiting. The orange juice she drank tasted so strong. Did they change the juice provider? Why does it taste so bad ??
"Yuck .." Frantically, Fae grabbed her bag with her left hand and covered her mouth with her right hand, then ran out of the restaurant.
Everyone who was eating looked dumbfounded, seeing her rushing out like that.
Fae hurriedly turned left and ran down the hall to the restroom. As soon as she entered one of the women's toilet, she closed the door and opened the toilet lid. Fae immediately threw up everything she had just eaten and even stomach contents from last night.
"Yuck... oh my God ..." She vomited many times, and her body immediately went limp.
Fae spent nearly 15 minutes in the toilet, trying to get everything out of her system and calm herself down. Her head was dizzy and her body lost strength.
Were this nausea and vomiting caused by her pregnancy? According to Fae's calculations, she was currently 10 weeks pregnant. At first, she thought she would not experience nausea and vomiting like most other pregnant women because in the early stages of pregnancy she didn't feel any complaints whatsoever.
But it seemed that all the complaints were waiting for the worst possible timing and only came today.
Ugh ... luckily, her boss was out of the country.
Fae didn't feel like discussing her pregnancy with anyone. She got up with difficulty from the toilet floor and tidied her clothes. She quickly called Sam to ask permission to go to the hospital, citing a bad cold.
She knew that this incident would surely bring back gossip among other employees that she was pregnant because she slept with her boss.
Never mind. She could not think of them anymore. At this time, she must immediately have her pregnancy checked and make sure the baby was healthy.
Fae went back to the penthouse and rested. She then decided to call the gynecologist at the hospital she had previously contacted. She asked the doctor to come to the penthouse at night and not wear a doctor's coat.
To her relief, Ren was now unable to trace her phone, so she could freely call the doctor. If the doctor came to the St. Laurent building, no one would suspect him. They may think the doctor was called in to treat a hotel guest, or that he was coming to dinner at the restaurant.
If Fae came to the hospital or saw a doctor, she was worried that Ren would find out that she had her pregnancy checked. She didn't want Ren to know. She was afraid that Ren would use all means to get rid of her baby.
She couldn't allow it to happen.
