His Fixation

Flirting with danger 25

Of course it wasn't particularly a problem. When one has a job, they may have lunch alone with their boss. But there was nothing good about Kavian finding out. He was a man who was displeased with her even talking to his half-brother at a family gathering.

'But it's a bit strange to explain the situation like this...'

She was lost in thought with a puzzled face. She thought it would be better to hang up the phone quickly than to waste time with a clumsy explanation. Even if she said something later, her bodyguards would have been watching her, so she wouldn't have any strange misunderstandings.

She opened her mouth again.

"Call me later..."

[Why are you being so coy again?]

"When did I..."

It seems that her tone was cold because she was flustered. She spoke quietly so that Team Leader Jayden couldn't hear her.

"It's hard to say right now..."

[Are you pregnant? I think you're in a bit of a mood these days.]

"What?"

A confused voice came out at the unexpected words.Her face was burning hot, and her eyes shook. Even team leader Jayden seemed surprised at her apparent embarrassment. But Kavian's voice was calm.

[Come to think of it, it's about time it happened. Did you check?]

"Pregn..."

'Since I met you, I haven't had a quiet day, so it's only natural that my mood fluctuates.'

She was suddenly angry and tried to shoot back, but she felt team leader Jayden's eyes. She swallowed her words because she thought it was a mistake.

[Are you listening?]

"N-nothing."

[What do you mean?]

"That's... that's not it."

She answered quietly. Kavian,who is not aware of the situation here, asked without hesitation.

[Not pregnant? Then I'll go buy a test kit, so check it out later. In front of me.]

Her cheeks turned red as if she was about to explode. The mere thought of doing a pregnancy test in front of him made her dizzy.

She had to either hang up the phone right away or leave. If she doesn't do so, strange words may come out in front of her boss.

[Never mind. Don't try to hide your pregnancy from me. You won't be able to get away from it with a few slaps.]

"I-I'll talk to you later."

Fortunately, she hung up without hesitation.Only then did she let out the breath she had been holding in. He was a man who really made people crazy.

She picked up a cup of water in the deep silence.She should have gotten up after asking for understanding when she checked the caller's name. It was time to bite her lips and blame herself.

"Your fiancé?"

"...yes."

She hesitated to reply. Team Leader Jayden was wiping his mouth with a napkin. It seemed that he had finally finished his meal.

"It was a personal matter, so I didn't have a chance to talk about it at work... What happened to her? The woman who injured your hand."

"It's almost settled."
