Chapter 94- Same birthday

A few weeks later…

Tessa was now eight months pregnant and since she was carrying triplets, her belly was huge and heavy. Regardless, she still went to work to prepare for the three months that she would be on maternity leave.

As the CEO of the company, she wanted to leave things in order before taking a break and since Michelle would equally be on maternity leave, Celia would be left in charge.

“Celia, I want you to work together with Lisa when we are away. Make sure the designs our architects are creating are up to standard. Lisa knows what I look for in a design, there’s at reason our company is now known as the best in Ashford city,” Tessa said while they sat in-

her office.

For the period of her pregnancy, they conducted the meetings in her office because, according to her, that was the only place the babies wouldn’t kick her like crazy. She only had meetings with Celia, Michelle and Lisa because the other employees’ cologne was too strong for her

nose.

Even though she had banned putting cologne, she still felt like the body lotions or cosmetics the workers were using had a strong foul scent. This made her sick so she avoided everyone at

all costs.

When her belly became bigger, Aaron had a bigger and more comfortable leather chair made for her. It was an electric chair that could massage her back every now and then.

Celia nodded and replied, “Don’t worry about the company. Lisa and I will take care of it. I’m only sad that I can’t take care of my little nieces twenty-four-seven. But expect me to visit every day.”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. When Tessa told the person knocking to enter, she frowned when she saw that it was Mia Hendrix, Tony’s sister.

“How can I help you?” Tessa questioned, her voice coming out a little more strongly.

This was because, the last time Tessa saw Mia, she had come to announce about her feelings for Aaron. Although she never saw her after that day, it didn’t mean she wasn’t wary of her.

She didn’t want any ladies going near her man.

Mia smiled. She pointed at the empty chair next to Michelle and asked, “Can I sit?”

When Tessa nodded reluctantly, Mia took a seat. She said hi to the other ladies in the office and then glanced at Tessa. She said, “I came to say bye.”

Tessa arched her eyebrows in confusion. “What? I don’t understand.”

Ma exnated and announced, “I’m leaving the city oriety. I was niging because after knowing Aaron has someone who loves him now, I wanted to move on and forget about him.

Unfortunately, I had failed to move on. He’s just so awesome-
