Clara's words hung in the air, heavy with unsaid suggestions. Mathew's mind was racing with questions and possibilities as he waited for Clara to speak
"I... I mean, I don't think I have any major illnesses," Clara clarified, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But there was something... something that happened a while ago."
Mathew's brow furrowed in confusion as he leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Clara's face. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Clara took a deep breath, steeling herself for what she was about to reveal. "A few months ago, I... I have had pains in my lower abdomen, she began, her voice trembling slightly. "it wasn't anything serious, in fact, I was at the hospital today and told everything was okay and should return after a few weeks ….."
Mathew's heart skipped a beat at her words, a chill creeping down his spine. "Hospital, do you remember the name ?" he echoed, his mind racing with possibilities.
Clara shook her head, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and discomfort "No" she whispered. it was my first time going there for a check-up
Matthew was filled with a wave of emotion as he processed her words, he wondered what are the possibility the woman in front of him is carrying his heir, he thought of how to keep a close eye on her and to be closer to her, his eyes filled with a sense of pity.
"I'm so sorry, Clara," he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. "I hope you feel better"
Clara managed a small smile, amazed at his concerts towards her, and couldn't but think of how sweet it was that the billionaire CEO of her dream workplace was speaking to her in such lovely tones. "It's okay," she said softly. "I do feel much at ease today from previous days"
Mathew nodded, though his mind was still reeling from the possibilities. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Clara's story, more questions. beneath the surface, she could be the woman carrying his heir But he knew better than to pry or push her away with uncomfortable questions.
"Thank you for telling me," he said gently, his voice filled with sincerity. "And... and I'm sorry "if it made you feel uncomfortable".
Clara offered him a small, Innocent smile. "It's okay," she repeated, though her eyes gave off the curiosity that lingered within her.
For a moment, they sat in silence, the weight of suspense hanging in the air. But then, slowly, with caution, Matthew reached out to take Clara's hand in his own, but then a knock at the door jolts them back to the office, Clara stood to her feet, while Matthew leaned in his chair. " come in " Matthew said
In that moment, their eyes met as Clara set to leave the office. A bond formed between them, something was connecting them together and it was beyond the office neither of them could fully understand. Mary walked up into the office to remind Matthew of his meeting set for 3:20 pm with a promotional brand.
" Sir, you have a meeting in 5 Minutes with the Promotional brand," Mary said.
Could you attend the meeting Mary? Matthew asked Mary's eyes popped wide in shock,
"Sir you would need to be present, the questioning to be answered "Mary stammered to say
"noted, you may leave Mary " Matthew wanted to be alone, as he wandered in thought the chances and thought "I need to call Doctor Sandro he can give me a physical description of Clara, in the meantime I can't let Clara out of my reach"
He opens his drawer attached to his luxurious desk, one where he keeps vital information and keeps a lock, picks out a notepad and writes out Clara's address so it is never lost "
Mathew couldn't help but wonder what the future held for them. He had never believed in fate or destiny, but now, as he looked into Clara's file, he couldn't shake the feeling that their meeting was anything but a coincidence.
And with that thought echoing in his mind, Matthew made a promise to look after Clara through the pregnancy, wherever the future held, he'd keep her close to him making sure she didn't face challenges.
Together, they would face the uncertainty that comes their way, hand in hand, united in this unexpected journey. And as they embraced the uncertain future that lay before them, Mathew couldn't help but feel a glimmer of optimism stirring within his heart...
Matthew walked out of His office to attend the meeting, " I would like it if these didn't take too long of my time" Matthew said as he walked in. "Sure, Mr Mathew thank you for giving us access to you, such a privilege, Camera ready !" the interviewer said.
The interview was brief as they just asked about the start off of the company and give it promotion on their airing, but they asked a question that caused Mr. Matthew to feel distracted.
The interviewer asked," Mr Matthew what are your plans, for the company with no wife in view and no child in view, who will take over from you in the coming days".
He froze, going into thought he was "thinking of Clara, and the possibility of Her caring his heir, the interviewer called out to him and he jolted back and responded " No comment, this interview is over"
Mr Matthew thanked them and they made their way out.
Walking out of the board room, Matthew bumps into Clara, Clara loses her stance and almost falls backward down the stairs. Matthew his heart nearly dropping pulls her to him with his two hands, holding onto her.
And as he looked at Clara, her eyes shining with shock, Matthew stopped hugging her and said be more careful almost as though she was already pregnant. His eyes filled with genuine concern and fear
For perhaps, just perhaps, their unexpected encounter was the beginning of something beautiful, something that had the power to change their lives in ways they never could have imagined
