Miss CEO Is Pregnant For Her Secretary

The Family Breakfast



Mandy

“Can I come in,” I heard his voice, as I quickly brushed down my hair before responding. I stood by the dressing table with my hands backward while he walked in.

“Good morning, ready to have breakfast with the family,” he looked at me, while I nodded my head, dressed in my gown again.

“You look great by the way,” he said sharply, and I smiled, taking a step forward when he halted.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Yeah before I forget. Mom asked me to get properly engaged with you. So I bought this,” he brought a box and showed me the ring, which had a diamond stone on it, making me smile.

“Well you should do it properly,” I looked down at the floor, directing him to get on his knees.

“Oh right,” he smiled while I chuckled, staring at him, as he got one knee on the floor and popped the question.

“Will you marry me? Mandy Rodgers?” He asked while I laughed lightly.

“Yes, Christian Reigns,” I stretched my hands at him, and he put the ring on my finger before getting up on his feet.

“Well then I guess we can now go for breakfast,” he held my hand into his, as he led the way to the dining table, and I felt nervous all through the walk down…

“Oh, there they are!” his mom exclaimed, staring at us with so much love in her eyes. She nudged her husband who smiled immediately and his eyes landed on me.

I felt warm and welcoming until my eyes landed on the left side of the table. “Low and behold my parents were sitting smiling brightly at me,” I looked at them blankly staring back at Chris who gave everyone a light smile.

“You didn’t tell me my parents are going to be here,” I whispered to him, as we climbed down the last stairs.

“I had no idea until now. I guess this is what my parents did,” he responded…

“Let’s just get over it,” I breathed out, while he pulled out a chair for me…

“Thank you,” I whispered and sat on it, watching him get comfortable in his.

“Good morning,” I said to Christian’s mother, and she waved her hands smiling.

“Oh my gosh!” She exclaimed, almost making me have a heart attack at the pitch of her voice…

“Mom? What’s wrong?” Chris asked, concerned, as she pointed in my direction.

“The ring? You finally propose. It’s so pretty,” she breathed, her hands on her chest, while she stared at it.

“Can I see it?” She questions calmly…

“Sure,” I walked over to her, and let her have a closet view of it.

“Oh it reminds me of when Chris’s father and I got together, we were so young, vibrant, and very much in love,” her dreamy she could tell you how happy it made her feel reminiscing over it.

But it made me jealous, knowing that I might never experience this. Or may never have such a thing.

“Oh forgive me. Congratulations you two, I wish you both wonderful years of happiness,” I smiled brightly, while Chris placed his palms on mine as we thanked her.

“Congratulations,” the rest of the people in the tank said in unison, and we thanked them all.

“Come on, let’s eat before it gets cold, or before she gets so emotional,” the laughter across the table echoed, making me smile as our meal was served.

After the meal, Chris took me on a little tour around the house while we talked.

“So breakfast?” He strikes the talk

“It wasn’t bad,” I responded with a smile and mumbled good.

“It was great until the whole wedding prep talk started,” I chuckled dryly

“Yeah. It was like we weren’t in the room anymore and they just kept talking,” I laughed

“I just really wish Maliah was here with me. Since she traveled to Los Angeles to see her family I haven’t heard anything from her. And I can’t help but keep making assumptions that something bad had happened,” I said almost in tears, and he looked at me worried.

“Is there anything I can do to help?” He asked in such a caring tone, and I could have mistaken that he was worried for me.

“I just want her to be here. The whole wedding fiasco, I want her by my side,” I smiled…

“But thanks for asking,” I directed that towards him…

“I could help you find her,” he said.

“Really?”

“Yes,” he smiled at my sudden excitement.

“That would really make me happy,” I said truthfully.

“So having Maliah here is going to make you happy?”

“Yes?”

“Alright then? Let’s make my bride happy,” he grabbed my hands and smiled at me and I could swear I felt a spark from that gesture.

“Where did you say she was, again?” He asked.

“L. A”

“Did you say in Los Angeles?” I nod my head wondering why he asked again.

“Well, I guess you’re in for luck today. Cause I have a friend there who is kind of a family,” he chuckled…

“Anyways let’s go see him, and you’ll get to meet my friend too,” he smiled and now it was his turn to be excited which gave me the chills.

“Was it me? Or did he strategically want to introduce me to his friend? Or friends? His buddies,” my inner voice shrieked and I felt my body start to have a bit of goosebumps while I looked at my hands which were still in his.

“Please help me, Lord?” I prayed silently.

“I just texted his assistant that we would be there shortly. So I’ll give you time to pack a few clothes and get ready,” he spoke calmly and pulled his hands away from mine

“Pack a few clothes? How long are we staying in for?” I looked at him confused.

“Till we find Maliah,” he said and I rubbed my forehead realizing…

“Hold on, “I grabbed his hands as he tried to leave, while he turned in my direction. He stared down at our hands and I became self-conscious and pulled away immediately.

“Wouldn’t your parents be mad? I mean we’re supposed to help with wedding preparations and other things,” I asked, a bit concerned…

“Nah it’s Edward, they would love it. Plus we both need a couple of getaways. I don’t see any problem with that,” he shrugged…

“Edward,” I repeated as he turned to leave again…

“A couple what? No! We’re just going to look for Maliah,” I screamed at his disappearing figure as realization hit me.

“Whatever you want to think,” he yelled back, while I laughed and walked towards the direction of my room…

“A couples getaway!” I repeated…
