Sherlyn didn't expect Nina to be so observant, so she had to be truthful, "I'm... pregnant."

"What?" Nina exclaimed, lifting the sunglasses on her nose as she stared intently at Sherlyn with her pretty almond eyes in shock.

"The baby is Viggo's," Sherlyn added, and Nina almost fainted, raising her hand and starting to pinch herself for self-saving.

The answer was something she hadn't expected at all.

"We met at an event a while back, and I got drunk; he gave me a ride home and then just, just..." Sherlyn was crestfallen even as she mentioned the incident, "I didn't think then that I'd get pregnant by one night."

Nina took a few deep breaths against the wall, and when she looked up and saw a cafe in front of her, she took Sherlyn and said, "Let's go and sit there. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Sherlyn rolled her eyes, "Is there anything you can't handle in the world?"

"To be honest, I can't stand this stuff." Nina walked away breathlessly, holding onto the wall.

She thought she had had a difficult life growing up. As an adult, she'd been involved in the messy entertainment world, so she'd experienced just about every outrageous thing, but she couldn't imagine Sherlyn and Viggo being associated in this way.

Sherlyn had been with her for years at Tymers Entertainment, and if there had been a spark between her and Viggo, there would have been a spark, but it seemed like they had only been boss and subordinate these years.

Sherlyn's personality hasd always been one of those "men are not as meaningful as work", and Nina thinks she may not be interested in men or love.

Nina and Sherlyn found a quiet and secluded corner in the cafe and sat down. Nina ordered a cup of coffee and, considering Sherlyn's pregnancy, ordered a glass of juice for her.
