The child might be yours

He waited patiently for her response but none came, instead she was staring blankly at her now unrecognizable sitting room.

Finally her gaze settled at him, but what he saw in those eyes wasn't what he was expecting, < sympathy and apologies > who are they for?, did she read meaning to what he just said?, He subconsciously gulped down, anticipating are rejection or even something worse, how did he forget the type of person she is?.

" Mr Qin , I'm sorry that I have to tell such a lie to Xavier which ended up creating a distance between you two. Please don't take any of my words to heart because this child isn't yours." Earlier she had no choice so she ended up making such a statement, but his words just now, made her realize that if she doesn't clear the air now, Alex will end up being hurt, when he finally found out the truth.

With the thought that she was still embarrassed to accept what happened between them , he smiled at her to lighten up the awkward moment. To him what really matters was the fact that he already knows the truth so if behaving ignorant in front of her will make her less worried and give him a chance to take care of them, he's very willing to do just that .

" I'm aware of that, Clara, I'm only afraid that since we've told him that, he may come back another time to hurt you, we can't relax, Xavier is never someone to give up so easily. " Even though he felt so ashamed to bring up Xavier's name in front of her again, he still did since it was the only way to make her leave this place.

Once again she looked around her messy apartment before agreeing to his suggestion. It is safer that way, even if Xavier sticks to his words she is still afraid her father will come back, standing up she bows to him " Sorry to bother you and thanks for showing up tonight." She allowed him to assist her in packing the things she will be needing.

The temperature inside the car was so suffocating for Judith, that she even found it difficult to breathe loudly, " what did you find out?." His grim voice sent shivers down Judith's spine making all the hair on her back stand up.

" I... I have sent the list of names to you, but apart from Adam Davis, the other people were below nine years at that time. " she replied carefully, slightly tilting her head to take a peek of the aloof figure behind her .

" Adam Davis again." he blurted out, his lips curled up into a snarl.

" Boss, should I make a move? " Judith hurriedly asked, but he didn't spare her another glance, instead his gaze became distanced as he rubbed his temple .

Judith heaved a sigh, looking out the window, she thought that he wasn't making a move on Davis because of Clara, ' gosh!, if only the boss will come back to his senses and see that that woman isn't worth all of this.' she hissed silently

" Hump!, I'm so furious." At about midnight Judith waltzed into the shop lamenting bitterly, about something unknown to Tony, her complaint got him very irritated that he stopped what he was doing. Slamming the documents he was working on,at the table in front of him, Tony pushed his glass down his nose bridge making him look very aloof, he cast her a deadly glare before picking them up again, then time he directed all his attention to the paperwork, totally ignoring Judith, he's almost rounding up the account for that day.

Judith glared resentfully at him," does he have to be this serious in a place like this?. " she muttered loud enough for him to hear, before she grabbed him by the hand, " Tony stop working your butt out for such a woman , she isn't worthy of you wasting your time on, what did that bitch do to you and Xavier that made the both of you this dumb to see her true colors,huh?. " She was also forcefully dragging him out of the shop, but fortunately Tony was way stronger than her, so no matter how hard she pulled,he remained seated, pissing her off the most.

" What happened today?." He finally asks , when he could no longer bear her insults, since Clara informed her that he works here, he noticed that the way she talks to Clara has changed and she is even more friendly and respectful towards her , tonight she has been pouring insults at Clara.

"Can you believe that whore cheated on Xavier , long time ago, and now she's pregnant with that backstabber's child? Our Xavier was so perfect but she made him wear a green hat too with his best friend. Remember how I warned Xavier against Alexander Qin the first time I set my eyes on him, that man is more dangerous than a viper, screwing his friend's wife right under his nose. '' she scoffed, clenching her fist tightly.

On hearing this Tony quietly returns to his work and with a Satisfied smile ,so finally the boss finds out.

"You are not saying anything," she hissed, slamming her hand on his desk, her furious face was just an inch away from his now.

"What do you want me to say?She is pregnant and you just concluded that it's for someone else. I thought you started liking her,why are you always dirty minded when it comes to her?" He refuted softly using a finger to push her back to her seat, but she angrily slapped his finger away from her forehead.

" You think this is about me being jealous of her?" She straightened up her hands on both sides of her waist as she glared at him. " Well I'm glad she disappointed you, maybe now you will come to see her true self because she boldly confessed it herself , holding hands with the stupid man. She claimed it was from the night, they were drugged."

" But what really happened that night , I'm really curious but I can't ask Xavier, right now that dude is very ready to kill someone and I don't want to be the victim. Can you tell me in detail?"

" No it's confidential," he replied, waving her off, with a confused expression.

Was he wrong?, all those times she was always protecting her stomach, wasn't that what a mother would do? .

" What was the boss' reaction? " He asked eager to know .

" What else do you want him to say? " he asked her to abort it. " she replied nonchalantly .

" Abort it ? "

That means he was wrong, he can't help them even if he wants to .

" Let's go out for a drink, " he said, grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the shop. He needs to clear his head .

"Why are you still like this?I can see you still trust her ?You want to drink because you already know?." She stopped walking with her jaw dropped. " The child may even be yours." Her hand flew to her mouth to cover it, as she stared at him suspiciously.

" Shut up, why did you suddenly become more stupid ?," he flickered her forehead very hard .

" She's my madam before and my boss now, so stop assuming nonsense, you will only end up stressing your chicken brain. " he said feeling insulted.

" Then why do you want to drink ? " she asked for an accusation laced in the tone she used .

" It's my secret, I will only tell you when I am drunk." he said with a sly smile .
