News?
Not something Kara wants to hear,go or even do.
The only thing or news that Kara wants to share is something she doesn't even want to let him know .
Vince is a proud human,and letting him know that he was just used as a sperm donor or whatever he thinks that it is won't go over that easily.
A sense of guilt crowded Kara's throat and she moved back.
"I have other plans,..maybe some other time",
"please cancel it",
Even with 'please', it sounded like a command and he's face changed.
"it would be proper if we give our new CFO a befitting welcome,.. It would be you doing me a favor",.
Ben said and Kara felt flabbergasted. A favor request from the CEO, more like a ticket to see hollywood most iconic movie of the season you can't refuse, interesting.
" Alright,. But there's something I have to do with Mrs. Stewart",
Kara said excusing her self and it seems like the only way to escape.
" Hold on ", Ben said halting her step.
"you are not looking too good,take this,.. Vince we'll see in your new office "
Ben said and walked out of Kara's office.
Kara was lost in thought,she'd think that Ben knows about her pregnancy, wrapping her fingers around the pack of crackers she'd wanted to eat at lunch and then looked at Vince.
"it okay if you do not want our relationship to be announced",
Vince said after some minute of silence.
Kara rolled eyes at him and ranted.
"We do not have any relationship "
Vince turned around and swung the door close without a word.
If it were another woman he would drop the case but then, the memory of her warm sensuality is an obstacle and still invaded is sleep despite the fact that months has passed without their body being contact.
He's not ready to settle down, It was the pressure he got from his mom that made him leave his country home.
"am not ready to let you go Kara,..I still want you ".
The issue now is that,she still needs or more like wants him in terms of things in the bedroom.
I body is practically still yearning for his touch,and worst of it was that there was nothing to stop or make it go.
" Please,..stop", Kara said inaudibly.
"can't I be truthful anymore "
Vince asked, Kara wasn't worried about his own truthfulness but worries about hers.
She told him that he shouldn't worry about getting her pregnant because of her dilemma, but despite knowing its not really a most that infertility affect all women with endometriosis.
"Maybe Ben was right when he said that you were not looking good ",
Vince whisper more like to himself but Kara him.
"Sit down Kara "
Vince said to her with a calm voice but Kara looked at him with funny face.
"I don't need a peacock to survive ",
Kara replied and reluctantly sat down as she requested,then decided to start a conversation.
"you were the least person I expected to see today,..Ben made the selection for the position quickly,.it seems best for the company",
"its surprising how you were able from Paris down to Washington very fast,..don't you have any family responsibilities ",
In Vince part of the world,his responsibility is to get marry and procreate. His mother was so into him settling down and giving her grandchildren in as much as his father was less concern about it,but the both of them are still worried about his delay.
"my absence won't remove anything neither would it add anything,.. My presence isn't important but my absence is important, I have grown up siblings that help in governing,managing and ensuring that every thing is going right ",
Vince said and Kara mouthed an ' OH '.
Thinking about his reply,Kara decided to ask him one question that seems important to her not minding if it was stupid to ask;
" How are you guys,..like in terms of children how many did your mother give birth to,..do you have sisters?",
Vince looked at her searching her face to see if he would be able to find the reason why he asked and then smiled;
" I have three brothers and two sisters, so in total we are six in number, my sisters are most pampered",
Kara nodded and went on to ask;
" but they do not help in governing, right",
The question sounded more like a 'convince' to Vince, which caused him to wonder if she had any past memory that must have caused doubt, but then he remembered that they never had a relationship that would make them talk about their families.
"My sisters never once had interest in ruling or governing,.. Mira is an architecture and wishes to focus on her passion while Tina is into designing both interior and exterior,..they both wants to be left alone",
Vince explained and Kara only nodded to it. Checking his watch,Vince knew that time was burden,although he'd really love to keep talking with her but then he has something to talk about with Ben.
" we will continue later at dinner, maybe Ben will decided to cancel the offer of joining us",..
Vince stood up to live and clearly speaking,he has achieved anything by staying here.
Taking a bow like a gentle man he his,he made his way to the door,opened it and closed it back...
