The Billionaire's Surrogate Wife

ChapterTwo

The morning sun should have been able to brighten my day but I can’t seem to get past the event of yesterday. I took a cab from my cozy apartment to the office, Mr. Ben and that jerk just became part of my nightmares, all of these memories seem to remind me of my present dilemma. I can’t marry him, he has nothing on me, and I owe him nothing

“Miss we are here,” the voice of the driver brought me out from the thoughts that threatened to weigh my mind down. I alighted from the cab, “Good morning Mr. Dave” Mr. Dave is one of the oldest employees of Narie Tech company, he has always been a silent support system for me since I started working here.

“Good morning, Miss Daphne,” he sent me his usual radiant smile that could brighten up the sun, “you came a bit late today, hope you are doing fine?” “yes Mr. Dave” “a lot seems to be happening today,” “What do you mean by a lot, I just came in, apart from Miss Stephanie and Judge do you have any other stories you want to keep blabbing about?” Mr. Dave has always had a way of cracking me up, he seems to be the gossip and likes to puck nose on other people’s business, “Oh no miss Daphen a little has been happening, someone influential came into the office today and even the MD was just on his toes all through, shouting at anyone and everyone, I guessed he was trying to impress the man that came around” “who could have made the Md so uneasy?”

“They just left not quite long I guess it must have been a great deal” “yea I guessed, I have to go in now, later I would definitely come back for our little chat” smiled at him and heed for my office, “hey miss Daphne, my steps were outed by Mr. Judge, “good morning Mr. Judge” “The M.D would like to see you in his office now “hope there is no problem, I already informed the Hr. that I would be late, hope he wont penalize me for this?” as I spoke my mind was racing through many places, trying to figure out, my offence, cause he’s call seems to be very unusual, I have always worked directly with the Hr. and I have never been called to the MD’s office other than the time I was promoted, I have never been invited to his office “ I don’t think so, I really don’t know, just see him, in his office first, intend of you just create thoughts in your head, it might not even be a very serious thing, maybe he just wants to give you, some documents” Mr. Judge tried but he seems to be trying a little too hard to make me feel everything was okay, but this gesture made me feel even more uncomfortable, Mr. Judge is a cool and handsome guy, in his early thirties but he has never really tried to make me feel okay or create options to make me comfortable, I can’t say he has been hard on me but he has not been an easy going folk with me “ alright Mr. Judge I would head towards the office immediately” “Alright, when you are done send me the documents I asked you to complete yesterday” “Aright sir” I headed for the MD’s office but as I was about to pull on the handle of the door, I heard the shouting at someone, and I could not help but say a silent prayer for myself, as I stood behind the door, Miss Mary the Hr. walked out of the office, and when she saw me she gave me a pitiable smile, trying to mask the sadness that almost seemed to shred are day, “Good morning Miss Mary” Miss Mary is a Jovial and smart lady, she has always been nice and very appreciative to everyone, she never wants to override her right as the head of départements “ good morning Daphne” she just answered me and walked away not giving the usually vibrant and jovial Miss Mary, I tried to ignore but the events already seems to be making me very uncomfortable, I knocked on the door and the MD asked me to come in “Good morning miss Daphne” “Good morning sir” “Miss Daphen, I would like to go straight to the point, you have worked with us for 5 years and it is true that your presence has brought tremendous growth to the company but I am so sorry that we would have to relive you of your duty, we no longer need your services” I stood there lost in thoughts, trying to figure out what could have gone wrong “sir but why? What have I done? “nothing Miss Daphne the company is experiencing some set back and we are just trying to cut down cost for the now, we might probably need your service later in the future”

I was emotional destabilized and I have invested my time to this company over the last 5years “ but sir you can’t do this to me, I have invested so much into this company” my eyes were already forming water glitters and soon enough it did not only drenched my cheeks but also leave patches on my clothes “ and I don’t think is fair to do this to me” “ miss Daphne I already told you what the company needs now, we can compensate you other than that we can’t do anything” this time he sounded so mean and ruthless, I know he seems to have made up his mind, there was no need in begging him further, I wipe the tinny drop of tears that was threatening to drench my cheeks “ alright sir I would take my leave” as I walked out of the office I tried to act brave, just then, I heard a beep from my phone and came a message “when you are ready to talk you know where to find me, this is just the beginning I will make you lose everything and everyone around you, it will interest you to know, I Don’t Make Empty Threats….. two options terminate the pregnancy or marry me.
