Amanda now spends most of the time outside work with Victoria, and both of them are getting to know each other better.
Her morning sickness is increasing and so she needs someone to help her out emotionally cos it's the first time she's actually getting pregnant.
Now she has found in Victoria a perfect team member to plan and strategize on what next to do- that's the reason they say two are better than one.
And Victoria actually isn't that bored lady Oscar made everyone to think about her.
It might be she hasn't found someone who will bring out the best in her, and now Amanda is actually bringing her creativity to life.
She has a masters in creative arts and is a lover of fashion- probably that's why Oscar finds her boring cos she likes little or nothing close to tech and sees it as more of a male profession..
But with the time Amanda has spent with her, she now knows what she likes and is absolutely helping her to dig deeper into her inner gifts.
Amanda on her own has toured Europe as a teenager with her uncle and aunt who served as her guardian when her parents died in a ghastly car accident.
That's where she picked up interest and can speak Spanish and french fluently.
She also took interest in painting and the history of Reinassance France and Italy; now you understand why her pseudo-honeymoon with Victoria in Europe was fun and exciting.
That evening after work and meeting with Oscar, Amanda brought the papers and documents to Victoria ( who will soon be her new boss in Miami).
But Victoria never intend to interfere with The Olive company. She's putting all the money and will allow Amanda to run it successfully.
She plans to establish herself as a fashion icon, running her own fashion shows and continue painting (plans are already on to build a massive art gallery that will be the best in Florida).
Victoria went through it and smiled.. "this is absolutely wonderful, I think you should sign it before he changes his mind"
They both laughed as Victoria told Amy her lover all she has been doing behind the curtain to bring 'The Olive' group of company to come to pass.
Amanda sat down and listened carefully to what Victoria plans to do with her billions.
"The Olive group of Companies for now will have three different branches" Victoria explained as she sketched it on paper.
"This is how it's gonna be"....
1- "The Olive Inc. (a tech company you will totally handle as the CEO/president and I will only be among board of directors and show up during emergency, quarterly and annual meetings)"
2- "The Olive Branch' - which will be our art gallery where we groom young and upcoming artists, do international arts exhibition and a studio where I can also do my life paintings which is my core passion)"
3- "The Olive Fashion- that will run a clothing apparel company, a designer perfume company, and organize fashion shows"
Victoria looked at her and said.. "Baby this is how we will both conquer the fashion and tech world"
"Wowww... absolutely Amazing" Amanda stood up and kissed her.
"Let me confess that we totally underestimated you and your creative prowess"- Amanda smiled.."indeed you are a genius and am so happy to be with you"
That night they celebrated their new group of company which really started in that corner of their apartment, and will be remembered for a long time.
They made passionate love (though Amanda's now ever protruding belly didn't stop them). It's indeed been a long time since they did it under the bed coversheets.
They slept together naked in a new position the doctor had advised Amanda; to her right side with Victoria cuddling her from the side.
It was indeed a lovers paradise.

THREE DAYS LATER.
Amanda visited the doctor on her way to the office. She did some lab tests and all the results were very good indicating the baby is doing fine.
But all that will change when she lied down for a complete obstetrics and pelvic scan ( she's now 20 weeks into her pregnancy).
The doctor looked surprised and paused for a minute studying the images being displayed on the screen.
Amanda's heart was now racing faster than normal and thought within herself that something is wrong with her child.
"is there anything wrong with the baby?" Amanda inquired of the doctor looking so worried and devastated.
"A minute, just keep quiet and listen to the heart beats" the doctor said.
"Is it good news or bad news?"- Amanda now almost panicking held the doctor's hand and pleaded.
"It's a good news, definitely a better one" the doctor smiled as she brought the monitor close to Amanda and showed her the images of two fetuses hugging each other.
"Amanda burst into tears of joy and requested for a printed copy, a digital picture and also a video of the fetuses hugging each other and sent to her mobile so that she can show the father of the kids.
The doctor then advised her on what to do and keep safe always so that she will come to term and deliver safely.
Amanda couldn't contain her joy as she drove slowly to her office.
She didn't use the elevator or entered the building. She called Oscar on the phone and said...
"Honey, can we meet at the same restaurant we always have lunch together"
Oscar Prescott couldn't believe what he's hearing now.
Amanda using pet names for him and even inviting him for lunch- well he still remember the first time they met at club 10, in the same bar she got pregnant for him.
It was Amanda that bought him a drink, that made the first move albeit in a professional way.
And now he thought within himself that he now has the best time to shoot for the stars in the horizons- maybe the VR/AR headset lens they just launched will help out...L.o.l
He took out something from under his table, and went right to the spot with a very lively spirit.
He saw Amanda's ex boyfriend Michael Smith outside (their eyes met) but he totally ignored him since he never liked him.
He jumped into his car and went to meet Amanda hoping to hear some good news from this unexpected lunch.
He arrived on time and went to their favorite spot and found Amanda quietly waiting for him.
"Hello Mi Amor" Oscar said as he pecked her on the cheek trying to avoid any scandal.
"Hi honey..trust your day is going fine" Amanda replied as Oscar could see her face is radiating more than ever and she looks so beautiful and even sexier with her pregnancy.
"Yes my love"- as they now started calling each other pet names.
Amanda first brought out the papers and documents all signed and handed it to Oscar.
"You really made the right choice, my love" Oscar smiled and collected it from her.
"Shall we have lunch and celebrate" Oscar who is now in high spirits said..."am really starving and would literally die for a good beef steak"
"One more thing before we eat our lunch" Amanda looked into the father of her twin's face in a sexy way.
"And that is....." Oscar now looked surprised.
"Here is the picture of your kid" Amanda passed a copy of the scan to him.
"Wowwww...so lovely" Oscar said with excitement and had to wipe some tears from his eyes.
Amanda smiled again and said...."look at it closely and tell me what you see"
That was when Oscar truly saw the two fetuses and shouted.."it's twins..we are having twins"
Amanda had to calm her down and said "Shhhhh...hhhh", "We shouldn't cause a scene here.
She also showed him the videos of the twins on her phone and it was so beautiful to behold.
The food was served with non alcoholic wine. Before they started eating, Oscar remembered and took out a little present from his blazers and handed it to Amanda.
But he later changed his mind and opened it quickly before anyone passing by would notice.
And in low key voice he said, "I truly want to spend the rest of my life with you Amanda Slayer my love and we will raise our twins together"
"Marry me and make my dream come true, make me the happiest person on Earth" Oscar said and showed her the engagement ring.
Amanda still couldn't believe the way events are just rushing her and told Oscar to wake her up from any slumber which she is now.
Oscar just winked and said.. "Keep it inside your bag, and just like the papers and documents you signed, take your time before you say Y.E.S."
Amanda thanked him for his understanding and did exactly as he has said.
Then Amanda asked him..." honey, what names do you have in mind"
Oscar replied.."I don't know, you give them any names and am fine with that"
"John and Joannah" Amanda said "if a boy and a girl"
"What if both are boys or both girls" Oscar chipped in.
"Hmmmm....John and Jerry, or Sally and Samantha"
"Perfect combination" Oscar said as he took a bite of the well baked seasoned beef steak.
****
Just two minutes later, four men dressed in black tuxedo entered the restaurant, brought out out little piano hidden inside their blazers and played a melodious tune and symphony.
Amanda was so happy and whispered "thank you honey, I love you".
Oscar was still surprised and acted a bit strange trying to see who was playing such a prank on him.
He didn't arrange for them and didn't want to spoil this beautiful moment he's experiencing with the love of his life.
So he just played along so that Amanda won't suspect he didn't invite them.
Then along came Michael Smith, Amanda's ex boyfriend, who made a grand entry into the restaurant like some Hollywood A-list movie star.
Oscar still shocked wanted to react, but knew he would definitely spoil his chances with Amanda, so he calmed his nerves and watch silently what Amanda's ex would do.
Michael got to where Amanda was seated, bent down on one knee and in a traditional way, popped out the question in the restaurant that now has everyone focusing their attention on them.
Amanda smiled and acted surprised like she would say YES..., took the ring from Michael threw it back at him, and pored the red wine all over his face, she looked directly into his eyes and said...
"I WILL NOT MARRY YOU".
