Amidst Ms. Liu's relentless interrogation, Georgia found herself inescapably cornered, compelled to divulge the truth. With a sigh, she admitted, "Yesterday, Jack and I revisited our old family home to pay a visit to Grandma. During our time there, she casually mentioned the possibility of my being pregnant and handed me an array of health supplements. So, today, Jack brought me to the hospital for a thorough examination..."
Listening to her daughter's candid revelation, Ms. Liu's tone underwent a perceptible shift, softening considerably as she responded, "It's high time for a checkup. Now that you and Xiaoyu have your marriage certificate, it's only fitting to start planning for a baby. Your grandmother is eagerly anticipating the arrival of a great-grandchild, and your father and I are eager to become grandparents ourselves!"
Blushing at her mother's candid words, Georgia couldn't suppress a smile. She lifted her gaze and caught sight of Jack approaching. Hastily, she interjected, "Alright, Mom, I'm rather occupied at the moment. I'll need to hang up now."
"Of course, dear. Plan a dinner with Xiaoyu soon. Your father and I will eagerly await your visit."
With a quick farewell, Georgia concluded the call and turned her attention back to Jack, who had come bearing a cup of hot water. "Take it slowly; the water is piping hot," he advised gently.
"Thank you," she replied with a warm smile, appreciating his considerate gesture.
Over an hour later, the couple had received a comprehensive set of test reports, each one reassuringly indicating normal results. As they exited the hospital and returned home, Jack efficiently collected the electronic reports and transmitted them directly to Peter, his trusted confidant.
In the aftermath of this medical visit, Jack found himself regarding Georgia with a complex mixture of emotions, his thoughts meandering through the intricacies of their relationship.
Unbeknownst to her, Georgia noticed Jack's intent gaze and inquired with care, "Is something amiss? Why aren't you eating?"
In a hushed tone, Jack confessed, "I don't have much of an appetite at the moment. I'll simply watch you enjoy your meal."
A warmth enveloped Georgia, and a shy smile graced her lips. "By the way," she began, "my mother called today and invited us over for dinner sometime soon."
"Very well," Jack responded with a nod, his features displaying a serene acceptance. "Once we return from our visit to the lakeside manor, we can arrange a time."
Georgia smiled warmly. "Sounds like a plan!"
In what seemed like the blink of an eye, the day of the company's scheduled outing had arrived. Upon her arrival at the office, Georgia immediately noticed a palpable buzz of excitement. Her colleagues, each clutching bags of varying sizes, chatted animatedly, their faces reflecting eager anticipation.
"Hello, Xiao Han!" Georgia greeted her colleague with genuine enthusiasm. "You look wonderful today!"
Georgia had opted for a departure from her usual office attire, instead choosing a casual yet stylish ensemble. She wore a loose-fitting, white hooded sweater paired with relaxed, wide-leg trousers, her hair fashioned into a carefree ponytail. The overall effect was youthful and eye-catching.
Xiao Han beamed in response. "You look great too!"
The day's outing called for casual dress, resulting in a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere among the colleagues. As they gathered and counted the heads from various departments, they boarded the bus, setting off for the picturesque lakeside manor located on the outskirts of Jiangzhou.
Inside the bus, the air buzzed with lively conversation. One enthusiastic voice piped up, "This lakeside manor is said to be quite intriguing. Rumor has it they are contemplating real estate development in the vicinity, which is why we've chosen it as the venue for today's activity."
"I'm not particularly interested in development matters. My primary mission today is to spot Mr. Jack. Did anyone happen to catch a glimpse of him earlier? He's sporting a military green casual outfit—imagine that! How effortlessly dashing!"
"Hopeless romantic!"
Amidst the playful banter and laughter, the bus journey unfolded, and excitement continued to build among the company's staff.
Throughout the organization, a substantial number of young women harbored dreams and fantasies involving Jack. After all, few could remain impervious to the magnetic charisma of their handsome and successful CEO.
Sitting in the front row of the bus, Georgia and Xiao Han exchanged knowing glances, their ears attuned to the lively chatter emanating from behind. It was evident that today's adventure promised not only relaxation but also a dose of amusing workplace camaraderie.
