Alexander kept quiet, and a look of contemplation crossed his face. “I’m a businessman.” “What?” I stared blankly at the ‘businessman.’ “You and I met one day. We liked each other and started dating. Due to a moment of carelessness, you ended up pregnant, and we decided to keep the baby. If he asks about my profession, we’ll say I’m a businessman, and that’s why I can provide for you.” Not bad. “What if he asks why we’re here? He knows I stay and attends my university in Manhattan.” I questioned, interested in what else he could come up with. “You requested a year of leave, and I brought you here to eliminate all forms of stress. A mini holiday till when the child is born to ensure there are no complications.” I raised an eyebrow. “A mini holiday?” I repeated, slightly dumbfounded.
