Chapter 1

“Have you heard? Someone on our floor is expecting a baby!”

“How did you know?”

“I just saw a pregnancy test stick in the bathroom!”

“No way, who would be so bold to take a test at the company?”

Natalia Jenkins had just walked into the office when she caught the buzz of gossip. She paused in her tracks, glancing toward the two interns who had been chatting in low voices.

Their faces turned pale upon seeing her, and they quickly bowed their heads to their tasks.

Natalia gathered her thoughts and proceeded to her office.

Meanwhile, in the company’s chat group, someone threw the bombshell again.

“Someone on the 26th floor’s got guts, who can it be?”

“Why don’t we place bets and guess who it is?”

“Sure thing, let’s get the betting pool started!”

Natalia’s temples throbbed as she read the messages. She had been careless. She should have flushed the stick or wrapped it in paper before discarding it.

If Hamilton Fowler found out, she could hardly imagine the consequences.

Her assistant knocked and entered, “Ms. Jenkins, Mr. Fowler would like to see you in his office.” Natalia’s fingers tensed slightly.

“Ms. Jenkins?”

She responded, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After Natalia left, the office buzzed again. One of the interns piped up.

“Do you think it could be Ms. Jenkins? I saw her leaving the bathroom right before finding the test stick.”

“It can’t be Ms. Jenkins! Have you ever seen her dating? She doesn’t even have a partner, how could it be her?”

“Ms. Jenkins is so pretty and yet she’s single?”

The chatter grew louder until the assistant couldn’t bear it anymore. “Quiet down! You’re supposed to be working now, not gossiping!”

Standing outside the CEO’s office, Natalia took a deep breath.

Before she could knock, the door swung open from inside..
