Chapter 47 What She Says Goes

,m Amy knew she shouldn't get involved with Zach on a personal level; but she was not sure if she could trust herself. Even when their communication was limited to emails, she could not help the attraction towards him. But for the baby's sake, she needed to keep a relationship with Zach, a formal one.

Should anything happen to her and she fails to protect their child, she would make sure he/she's delivered to his/her daddy before all else. That way, it won't come as such a big surprise to him. But she hoped it would not come to that. Maybe when things look up, she would tell him about the baby and work out parenting then. For now:

***.com: I'm fine. I'm sorry I had something on.

His response came right away. She went to her room to change into sweat pants and a shirt in readiness to go to Stella's.

Zach sighed in relief when he saw her response. He was currently on his way back to the city for an emergency meeting for another project their corporation had taken on.

***.com: It's okay. But you should have told me. I was worried sick about you. I need you to report to me every ten minutes.

Amy stopped in her tracks to look at the new message when she was about to exit her house. He was commanding her, something she never tolerated, but she could not help the flutter of her heart. But writing to him every ten minutes, that means they would talk all day. How would she maintain a formal relationship when her heart is getting carried away like this? Before she could think, she sent a response.

***.com: 30

***.com: 5 including good morning, afternoon, evening and goodnight messages.

Amy could not help but feel his demands to be ridiculous. So she typed a response based on her terms.

***.com: 5 hours, and good morning and goodnight messages.

Zach smirked and 'yielded'. He shouldn't argue with his lady. What she says goes. He was happy that she at least entertained the idea. That means she would not disappear on him or make him worry. He could work with this until he finds her. He had a smile on his face as he responded.

***.com: We'll do what you want. 30 minutes and the good morning and goodnight messages.

***.com: Why are you nagging me?

George and the driver suddenly heard a foreign enchanting sound. They exchanged a look before looking back. However, Zach's face was serious as he typed away on his phone.

'Did I imagine it?' they both had the same thought. But it was just the three of them and the two of them did not laugh, so who did? They both shrugged while one read through some files while the other drove.

***.com: Because I care about you.

A minute passed. He was sure she was taken aback by his forwardness. However, he had no plans of sugarcoating his real intentions. Just like that special night, he would lay his cards out and leave everything up to her.

***.com: Why? I'm a stranger to you.

***.com: I'll let you think about that. I'll be in a meeting. Don't forget your 30 minute check in.

Amy looked at her phone in a frown. She could not help but feel something was off; like she had been tricked or some sort.
