86 The Meeting 

Luke. 

I hurried back to my wing to inform Tia of the meeting. Stacy’s silence was unbelievable, and I hoped for all our sake she would come clean. 

Tia sat quietly on the couch in the sitting area, and I knew she was deep in her thoughts. 

“What’s the matter, darling?” I asked and she looked at me and smiled. I went to sit beside her. She moved closer to me and leaned on me. 

“Luke, someone is trying to ruin this family,” she stated the obvious, and I pulled her close and rubbed her arm. Her body was warm, and it got me worried. 

“Tia, why are you warm?” I asked her, and she leaned against me. “I guess it is part of the pregnancy symptoms. I have been drinking cold water,” she confessed, and I made her get up. I gently took off her clothes and carried her to the bathroom. I hated cold water by her body needed to cool down. I intended to take her to the hospital after meeting with the auditor. I took off my clothes, and we stood under the cold shower for a bit. Tia rested her head against my chest while I held her under the water. I suspected the information we got at the meeting and all that was happening were the cause of her body temperature. I held her while the water washed our bodies. 

“I need you to be calm, Tia. Whatever is going on. I am sure we will get through it together. Please do not worry too much for me and our baby’s sake.” I pleaded with her, and she wrapped her hands around me. 

“I am sorry, Luke. I couldn’t help it. What Mrs Mulberry said was scary. We just took over the company Luke, and I am in charge.” She confessed, and I knew what was troubling her soul. “No one will ever think you are stealing from the company Tia, even if the audit claims that you are a part of it. We will all know it is a set-up. Please, Tia,” I pleaded, and she squeezed tighter. I wish I could make love to her in the shower, but Krystal Mulberry was on her way, and it will be wrong to stop abruptly or keep her waiting. We left the shower and got into bed to cuddle. I held Tia, and she fell asleep. The doctor had said she would often sleep because of the pregnancy, so I wasn’t worried. I covered her body with the blanket and got dressed for the meeting. I would have loved Tia to attend, but it was okay.
