After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

hley off at his school. The Leonica drove straight to her company after dropping Ashley she took notice of the fleet of securities lined up by the entrance.

he moment she arrived on her company's premises,

Kennedy, who as usual, was waiting by the entrance for her, received her with a bow. "Good Morning, Ms. Romero "

"Morning Kennedy. What's all this about?" She gestured towards the four men in black standing guard in front of the entrance. Before he could answer, they parted at the middle and Leonica watched a familiar figure walk towards her, hands tucked in his pocket. "Arvan," She smiled, greeting him lightly. "I see you got yourself more trustworthy guards."

"The last ones were utter disappointments." He wasn't joking, seeing as his ex wife had been able to make her way into his house without him knowing. "How are you doing, Leonica?"

"Best shape." She offered him her best smile, but he did not fail to notice the dark circles underneath her eyes as they turned and headed Inside. "What are you doing here, anyways?"

At her question, Arvan paused the instructions he was giving to his guards and flashed her a look. Quickly, Kennedy appeared by her side and whispered in her ear.

"You have a contract signing with Senator Richardson today."

Contract signing, of course! How could she have forgotten that today was the day she and Arvan would make their cooperation official.

"Leonica," Arvan began but she cut him off with a smile while reaching for the elevator's button.

"Old age." Her excuse was so weak that it had Arvan even more worried.

Old Age? He would have understood if she said the stress of single parenting was getting to her, but old age? Leonica didn't look the least bit like her age mates. Even today, dressed in long brown suit pants, white inner and a brown neutral blazer, she looked more stunning than most, if not all twenty nine year olds that Arvan knew.

When they finally stepped into the presidential elevator alone, since both assistants had to take the regular employee elevator, he asked.

"Is everything alright with you?"

"Peachy," Leonica responded with a nod. "I happened to overwork myself last night." She quickly added upon seeing that he wasn't buying into her words.

Arvan nodded but he was far from convinced. Even at that, he decided not to push any further when the elevator dinged open. As they walked towards the conference room, Leonica changed the subject, asking after Daisy,

"She good." Arvan responded as he held the door open for her. She thanked him while stepping in. "However, she's been going on about a sleep over?

"A sleep over?" She mused..

"Yeah, know anything about it?"

Leonica shook her head when he asked, letting him know that she knew nothing about the children's plans.

With a sigh, the conversation temporarily came to a close when their assistants walked In, each carrying

g the official documents that needed each of their signatures before their cooperation was made public to the entire business words.

Arvan was the first to finish signing. He once again examined Leonica's face in the few seconds window.

It was clear to him that she had lost a night or two of sleep.

He couldn't help but wonder what had happened? And why had she refused to tell him anything about it?

Not that he had any right to know her every where and how in life, he thought and sighed at the fact that even after two month of telling Himself that he was going to be a friend and a friend alone, he clearly still had romantic feelings for her. "All done!" Leonica's voice had him blinking away the unpleasant thoughts and they exchanged the contracts, sealing the deal at last. "As for the press conference-"
